After the stability of their weight, follow each and every one of the participants one of three food diets for four weeks. Participants eat food prepared for them at the hands of nutrition experts. Participants in the nutrition and income to the hospital four days to undergo the medical examinations and other related metabolic.

The number of calories in the diets each one, but the fat, protein and carbohydrate ratio is changed. In the low-fat diet, it is to derive 20 percent of calories from fat, which is focused on the full of fruits and vegetables grain foods.

The number of calories burned diet low Glycemic index is greater than that burned diet low in fat, calories 150 ».

He pointed out that the reason for Excellence low carbohydrate diet is not clear. He said :                 «we believe that both the low-carb diet and a diet low Glycemic index Tadian not to feel hungry because they do not are causing an increase in the level of sugar in the blood. When the body thinks it is starving, it lowers the metabolic rate in order to conserve energy ».
