COCONUT WATER, ACAI BERRY, PROTEIN BREAD
Everything really just diet hoax?
Acai berries, egg bread, coconut water and filtered water is alkaline currently hotly debated in the weight loss forums
Coconut water, protein, bread and the acai berry have two things in common: They sound delicious and are regarded as THE current diet trends. Actresses and models swear by it supposedly - just like on alkaline water. But what is really tuned for the weight-loss miracles?
BILD.de asks - when nutritionist Nadia Röwe of aid infodienst Food, Agriculture, Consumer Protection Association, nutrition scientist and author Sven David Mueller (The thickest diet lies Schlütersche, 12.90 €) and the physical education teacher and nutritional coach Reza Hojati from Kiel .
Protein bread bakery is THE trend 2012th Currently, there is, however, due to its high fat content of the criticism
PROTEIN BREAD
Only six percent carbohydrates, 20 percent protein but contains the fluffy-moist bread trend. We accepted, however, around 250 calories with a 100g disc to be scarce and pay three euros per 500g. For comparison, a normal wheat-wheat bread has 44 percent carbohydrates, and only five percent protein, but only 220 calories - and you get 750g for about 2.00 €!
Müller: "You pay three or four times more for a loaf of bread that does not taste like bread, a remarkable consistency has nutritionally assembled wrong, spoils quickly, calorie-rich and does nothing - except money in the coffers of the mills and bakeries. The fat content of up to ten times as high as 10 percent of normal bread - that's not thick and thin! Often also lack the healthy and satiating fiber and valuable vitamins and minerals that are otherwise in Wholemeal cereals and push your metabolism (B vitamins, zinc and iron). "
For whom is it not appropriate?
Röwe "protein bread is not unhealthy or harmful - a very high protein diet can, however, harm the kidneys," adds Müller: "People who suffer from gout / hyperuricaemia or renal dysfunction or liver should not eat very rich in protein. Aged to take the elimination and detoxification function is shrinking. Therefore, people should be from the 60th Of age do not take extreme amounts of protein. And this bread of the protein content of around 20 percent is extremely high. "

ACAI BERRY
The berries are said to inhibit fat production and to stimulate muscle growth and metabolism.
Müller: "Acai berries have no ingredients that make the fruit for fat burners. There are simply berries - just as healthy as red currants & Co. of Germany. In dietary supplements may even dangerous impurities Ephedrine (appetite suppressants) may be included. "Ephedrine acts including increasing blood pressure and can lead to overdose anxiety, anxiety, nausea, breathing difficulties and headaches. Hojati: "The acai berry contains vitamins, saturated fatty acids and antioxidants. So many people think that they boost their metabolism so. They are subject to the mistaken belief that excess fat is gone by the intake of additives automatically from the body. To lose weight long term, this method is not as caused by such an unbalanced diet often deficiencies. "

Alkaline water
Acidification prevents the alleged weight loss. Models swear therefore to water that is filtered by a water ionizer designed so that it is purely basic, and does not have a "sour" character more.
Müller: "Healthy people are not too acidic and a basic diet does not make you slim. Acidification has nothing to do with the development of obesity. The alkaline water sports and can not substitute reduced-calorie diet! But it is expensive and makes the thin wallet! Hojati agrees: "Many people confuse thirst with hunger. Therefore, when the stomach growls something to drink half a glass of water and wait to see whether there is a feeling. But then it also does tap water. "
Conclusion: If you want to remove should be entitled to protein bread because of the high fat content, if any, only in moderation. With coconut water and alkaline water, you can remove anything wrong, you do not own this. And acai berries - a natural product, thanks to its vitamins a true immune-impeller, of the berries in capsule form with dozens of unknown ingredients, but you should refrain. Finally, no one can say if and how this has been adulterated and show what side effects to you.
