SCIENCE AND BACKGROUND

A little theory
In the old days, people only found it natural to eat whenever they felt hungry, that is, if there was anything to eat at all. They stopped eating when they felt full. This is how it with natural peoples, as well with anyone that listens to what their body has to say. Hormones control the feeling of hunger and satiety.

The current energy and nutrition balance is manifested as a state “need” in the brain and balanced by the state of “have” through the production of leptin hormone by fat cells. This enables the body to elegantly reach an ideal state quite where nutrition intake and nutrition need are in equilibrium and “need” and the “have” are a harmony. Consequently, you can eat as much and until neither one of the hunger signals alert you, i.e., until they crave for more calories.

The importance of this survival “authority” becomes obvious when a feeling of hunger is signaled. At this point, “need” and “have”, the centre and the periphery stray away from one another and tension mounts in the body, lashing out stress. Today, this translates to the following: if we commit ourselves to a drastic diet- which is what most dieters actually do- the balance ultimately tilts. The system will begin to malfunction. We feel tension during the diet and the subsequent yo-yo effect is guaranteed.  Remember this: eating less is simply not enough, unless we know how to regulate the body’s fat reserves.

Guarantees for survival
Let’s see what the “survival kits” which we can be grateful for have in store and which may turn against us as the outcome of an improper diet.
In order of importance, these are:
- Fat reserves: the regulator of our metabolism and centre of energy control – the key guarantee to survival.
- Thyroid gland: inner thermal power station, central metabolism regulator.
- Muscles: serve as a “tank” for fast energy needs.
- Proteins 

The body functions properly if it receives am optimal proportion of protein, carbohydrate and fat, out of which protein is the most important, without which the body is incapable of functioning and may cause serious problems in the body.

Let’s see what the consequences are of not providing enough protein for the body.
1. If the body is not supplied enough protein, the body will take protein away from muscles, initially from the heart muscle.
2. The metabolism slows down, since, because of the thyroid gland, its speed, and consequently fat reserves, remain at a stable level in the body for a long time.
3. In such cases, the body sounds the emergency alarm, in other words, a gluttony attack may overwhelm us, as an outcome of which the body will only end up accumulating even more fat.

Facts about proteins
- Proteins are the principle constituent of the body making up 18-20% of our muscle tissue.
- Cellular tissue contains two key, flexible proteins, namely, collagen and elastin.
- Protein plays a pivotal role in oxygen and carbon dioxide transport: haemoglobin absorbs oxygen from the lungs, whilst myoglobin stores it in the muscle tissue.
- Every single enzyme is a protein, which induce, or specifically accelerate the chemical processes of living organisms.
- Some hormones are also proteins (insulin, adrenalin, sex hormones, thyroxine etc.)
- Numerous biologically active substances have protein characteristics (e.g. histamine, the inflammation mediator or the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin).
- Antibodies (antigens) are protein molecules produced by the immune system to recognise and deactivate foreign substances in the body.
- From among blood proteins, albumins play a role in regulating osmosis pressure and storing amino acids. Globulins are essential for the body’s defence mechanisms and immune system, and blood will not coagulate without the presence of fibrinogen.
- Protein is also a part constituent of cell nuclei, mitochondria, ribosomes, and cell membrane.
- Proteins, acting as amino anions in water solution, play an important role in maintaining the body’s acid-base balance.   

Losing weight according to the theory
Precisely for this reason, the Turbo diet^® method >> is your best choice if you want to lose weight.  You can count on maintaining a normal insulin level with the help of this method and you don’t have to be afraid of losing any muscle tone thanks to protein replacement. Nor do you have to worry about feeling extremely hungry. Your metabolism won’t slow down either, since the thyroid gland will continue to function optimally. By restoring the natural function of the thyroid gland, it will produce a higher rate of T4 hormone which is transformed into highly active T3 hormone, which in turn helps the body burn every nutrient without depositing, storing any fat.

By now you know that all this can be achieved with the help of a protein-based diet lasting for 1 or 2 weeks, as an outcome of which the body receives a high volume of protein. Contrary to most diets, your muscle tone will remain the same and your body will not dehydrate either. All you can lose is fat. Naturally, protein alone will not perfectly sufficient. You will also need to consume dietary supplements to attain the best results, ensuring perfect protection against the harmful effects of free radicals.
