It is undeniable in nutrition; its protein is easier to digest than meat, it contains many essential substances and vitamins. Omega-6 and Omega-3 polyunsaturated acids contained in fish are important for heart health. Their use reduces the risk of heart attack and arrhythmia, has a beneficial effect on blood vessels and improves metabolic processes in the body. Another important thing is that these acids can dissolve cholesterol. People whose menu includes fish as the main product are much less likely to suffer from heart disease and problems excess weight. In addition, these acids help fight depression and chronic fatigue.
Fish is rich in phosphorus, which is important for mental activity and bone health (especially in a growing body). Iodine, which is especially rich in sea fish, is necessary for normal functioning thyroid gland. Selenium, a trace element also found in fish, is essential for the health of the reproductive system. It also contains B vitamins, which are responsible for health. nervous system, hair and skin, and proteins for performance and growth muscle mass. The liver of many types of fish (cod, pollock, katran, etc.) is a storehouse of vitamin A. Fish (especially low-fat fish) usually does not cause digestive problems. On the contrary, it is part of diets for various diseases, for example, illness digestive organs, diabetes, gout, rheumatism, obesity... In general, this product is almost universal.
Scientists say that all types and varieties of fish are beneficial. But still, Special attention should be given to low-fat fish, it is most suitable for dietary and baby food and is included in diets for weight loss, for example, the “Japanese diet” and many others... Fish is divided into low-fat (3-5% fat), semi-fat (5-8% fat) and fatty (8-10% fat). In general, low-fat fish species are not always like this; it all depends on the season; before spawning, any fish fattens up. For example, the fish that is caught off the coast of the Black Sea is considered fatty in the fall, and lean in the summer.
Low-fat sea fish: cod, navaga flounder, hake, blue whiting, pollock, grenadier, pollock, ice hake, Black Sea whiting, mullet, pelengas... Low-fat varieties pike, perch... Low-fat varieties include sea fish: (chum salmon, salmon, pink salmon), except sturgeon, sardine, tuna; river: pike perch, carp, trout...
Low-fat varieties of fish will allow you to lose weight without starving or even limiting yourself too much, because cod, for example, contains only 4% fat. If you choose a diet with fish, then you will definitely not have vitamin deficiency, as after some other diets. But this is for those who love fish, but what about those who are not too enthusiastic about it? Well, it’s like in the joke, “So you just don’t know how to cook it,” yes, that’s why it turns out, “Well, this is disgusting, this jellied fish of yours.” Meanwhile, the Japanese cook fish very often and very simply; their dishes (sushi, rolls, etc.) have gained popularity all over the world. And what about the pride of Russian cuisine - fish pie.
Do you think it’s difficult and troublesome to cook fish? Today it’s easy to buy freshly frozen fillets and you don’t have to scale or gut them. You can put it directly into a frying pan or pan.
Do you think there are a lot of bones in fish? Does not contain flounder, pike perch or cod fillets small bones. In addition, you can grind it through a meat grinder, and then make cutlets or pies from the minced meat. You can also cook fish soup from the heads and tails, strain, discard the heads, and put the disassembled boneless fillet into the fish soup.
Do you think that of this product strong specific smell? Low-fat varieties of fish such as pike perch, grenadier, and ice hake have a very weak odor. In other species it can be reduced by soaking in water or milk.
Do you think that fish can only be fried, and this is not considered very healthy? You can make a lot of things from it different dishes, it can be stewed, boiled, baked, made into soufflés, soups, added to it different sauces... Steamed fish with a side dish of vegetables is just ideal healthy eating.
List of fatty fish and health benefits
Fatty fish has fat in tissues and abdominal cavity in area gastrointestinal tract. Its fillet contains up to 30% fat, although this figure varies both within and between species. For example, fatty fish include small forage fish such as herring and anchovies, as well as other large pelagic fish such as salmon, trout, and mackerel ().
Oily fish can be compared to white fish, which contain fat only in the liver (much less than fatty fish). White fish include, etc. White fish are usually demersal fish that live on or near the seabed, while fatty fish are pelagic - living in the water column.
Fatty fish meat is good source vitamins A and D and is rich (white fish also contains these nutrients, but in much lower concentrations). For this reason, consuming fatty fish rather than white fish may be healthier for people, especially in relation to cardiovascular diseases ().
However, it is known that fatty fish carry more high levels pollutants (such as mercury or dioxin) than white fish. Among the others beneficial effects Researchers note that omega-3 fatty acids in oily fish may help improve the condition. inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis.
Fatty sea fish: list
Fatty fish contain significant amounts of fat in all tissues of the body and in the abdominal cavity. Here's a list of fatty fish:
- sea trout
- anchovies
- sardines
- sprat
- pollock
- tuna
- shark
- Atlantic sturgeon
- sea bass
- flounder
Older adults who eat fish or seafood at least once a week are less likely to develop dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. In addition to providing vascular protection, omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil, may reduce inflammation in the brain and play a role in brain development and regeneration nerve cells ().
In a French study published in 2002 British Medical Journal (BMJ), followed 1,774 elderly residents of southern France over seven years. Scientists studied how much meat and seafood they consumed and how this was associated with symptoms of dementia.
The finding was that people who ate fish at least once a week had a significantly lower risk of being diagnosed with dementia over seven years. This study strengthened the research findings Annals of Neurology. Thanks to a longer study period BMJ provided stronger evidence of a genuine protective effect.
Cardiovascular diseases
Eating 200-400g of oily fish twice a week may also help prevent sudden death due to myocardial infarction, preventing cardiac arrhythmia ().
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), found in fish oil, appears to dramatically reduce inflammation by being converted within the body into resolvins, with beneficial effects on cardiovascular health and arthritis ().
In 1994 UK Committee on Medical Aspects of Food and Nutrition Policy (COMA) recommended that people eat at least two servings of fish per week, one of which should be oily fish.
In 2004 UK Food Standards Agency published guidelines regarding recommended minimum and maximum quantities fatty fish you should eat per week to balance the benefits of omega-3s fatty acids And potential hazards consumption of polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins. It reaffirmed the 1994 guidelines of two servings of fish per week, including one serving of oily fish. However, it recommended eating no more than four servings per week, and no more than two servings for pregnant or breastfeeding women ().
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests that the maximum permissible oral dose toxic substance Methylmercury is 0.1 micrograms per kg of body weight per day. The corresponding blood mercury limit is 5.8 µg/L. Restrictions apply to certain fatty fish:
- marlin
- swordfish
- shark
- tuna (to a lesser extent) ()
Recommendations for maximum consumption of oily fish were up to four servings (1 serving = 140 g) per week for men, boys and women past childbearing age, and up to two servings per week for women childbearing age, including pregnant and lactating women and girls. There is no recommended limit on the consumption of white fish.
Guidelines EPA And USDA The 2007 guidelines set a limit only for the consumption of oily fish with more than one part per million of methylmercury, specifically:
- malacanthas
- king mackerel
- shark
- swordfish
However, there are restrictions for breastfeeding/pregnant women and children under six years of age. These populations should completely avoid consuming fish containing high risk mercury contamination (listed above), and limit consumption of fish with moderate and low content methylmercury up to 340 grams per week. Consumption of longfin tuna (albacore) should be limited to 170 g or less per week.
Good afternoon, my dear readers! Today I will tell you about my favorite product - fish. Currently, scientists have proven its usefulness for weight loss. Lean fish for the diet, the list of which is given below, divided by fat content and calorie content. Let's look at popular power systems that use this valuable product. And I included tips on how to best prepare fish so that it is tasty and healthy.
Fish is a source of high-quality protein and is quickly absorbed by the body. If it takes about three or four hours to digest the meat, then the fish will “dissolve” in two. Therefore, it is recommended in dietary nutrition even for evening meals. Proteins keep you feeling full for a long time. The brain “gives a signal” not to store anything on the sides or butt.
I think many have heard about the longevity of the people of Japan. They have virtually no problems with the thyroid gland. Excellent vision and smooth skin persist until old age. Just look at the photo - cheerful, youthful people. Scientists have found that the cause of health was the use of large quantities sea fish. The composition of your favorite product includes the following benefits:
- Omega-3 fatty amino acids;
- vitamins;
- phosphorus;
- zinc;
- calcium.
Regular consumption of seafood reduces the risk of heart disease. The pressure stabilizes. Work improves immune system and brain. If you don’t want to suffer from dementia in old age, eat fish.
Iodine - saturates thyroid gland, which has a huge impact on calorie burning and metabolism. And Omega-3 fatty acid is very useful thing. Without it, the synthesis of other substances in the body is impossible. It maintains normal sensitivity nerve fibers, participates in muscle contraction. The presence of beneficial Omega-3 acids will have positive influence on hair, skin, nails.
In non-carbohydrate nutrition systems, when losing weight, it is often advised to replace meat with fish. However, not all varieties are equally useful. In terms of calorie content, fatty mackerel is far ahead of lean pork. In order not to be mistaken, we will divide the fish according to fat content.
To get an idea of the fat content of seafood, pay attention to the color of the meat. If it is light, you have a lean variety of fish. The darker the fillet, the more calories. Think herring, salmon or mackerel.
Of course, scientists say that fatty fish is the healthiest. It contains a large amount necessary substances. But when losing weight, you should forget about it. Or reduce your consumption to a small piece per week.
Let's mention low-fat fish varieties separately. They have no carbohydrates. That's why they are so popular among fans. So switching to fish while dieting can help delay the need to lower your carbohydrate intake.
| Product (per 100 grams) | Squirrels | Fats | Carbohydrates | Calorie content |
| Low Fat (2 to 5 grams) | ||||
| Tuna | 24,4 | 4,6 | 0 | 139 |
| Sea bass | 18,2 | 3,3 | 0 | 103 |
| Far Eastern flounder | 15,7 | 3 | 0 | 90 |
| Vobla | 18 | 2,8 | 0 | 95 |
| Bream | 17,1 | 4,4 | 0 | 105 |
| Carp | 18,2 | 2,7 | 0 | 97 |
| White-winged halibut | 18,9 | 3 | 0 | 103 |
| Hake | 16,6 | 2,2 | 0 | 86 |
| Oceanic horse mackerel | 18,5 | 4,5 | 0 | 114 |
| Very low fat content (less than 2 grams) | ||||
| Pollock | 15,9 | 0,9 | 0 | 72 |
| Blue whiting | 18,5 | 0,9 | 0 | 82 |
| Haddock | 17,2 | 0,5 | 0 | 73 |
| Cod | 16 | 0,6 | 0 | 69 |
| River perch | 18,5 | 0,9 | 0 | 82 |
| Pike | 18,4 | 1,1 | 0 | 84 |
| Zander | 18,4 | 1,1 | 0 | 84 |
| crucian carp | 17,7 | 1,8 | 0 | 87 |
Lean fish has less fat than the leanest meat. You can get the same amount of protein from everyone, but consume fewer calories. This will allow you to keep your carbohydrate intake to a relatively moderate level and you won't feel too depleted. Even in the evening. There will definitely not be any extra leftovers 😉
If you are wondering how often you can eat fish, then I can please you - if there are no contraindications, then at least every day. A serving of 100 grams is considered standard. And even if you are not a fan of this type of product, then arrange “fish days” for yourself at least sometimes. A plate of fish soup or a fragrant baked piece will add variety to any menu.
Which one is better and how to cook it
Even on the most democratic Dukan diet, you can eat this product at any stage. Dr. Dukan focuses on proteins and prohibits carbohydrates, fats and sweets. Fish is not the last place in the food system. During all stages of the diet, almost any diet is allowed - sea or river. You can even have a little piece of smoked salmon. I wrote an article about in more detail. Products can be boiled, steamed, fried or baked in foil. But with a minimum amount of vegetable oil.
Now let's move on to the most delicious moment. Fish recipes when it comes to diets, this is a separate science. They need to take into account the usefulness of a particular variety. And also how safe it will be to use if you have gastritis or diabetes.
Cooking
I recommend including it in your diet the following types seafood: tuna, flounder, haddock, pollock, cod, as well as shrimp and crabs. See the table above for other types with low and very low fat content. But the amount of protein in such meat is high.
To reduce calorie content, you can boil the fish in water or steam it. The last method is the healthiest and tastiest. The meat turns out juicy and tender. For flavor, sprinkle the pieces with a little lemon juice and add a sprig of herbs (dill, parsley). Sprinkle with aromatic fish seasoning and wrap in foil. In 30 minutes it will be ready.
A plate of fish soup without potatoes - excellent dietary dish. You can eat as much as you want without any consequences on your waistline. A very tasty broth is made from pike. Minimum calories with amazing aroma.
Try to use less sauces. They provoke appetite. If you don’t like the fishy smell, soak the seafood in milk for an hour. The unpleasant aroma will disappear.
Some of my people complain that the fish falls apart when cooked. Try cooking cod. Its fillet is not as tender as other species. Or you can use a little trick. Add a little vinegar to boiling water and boil the fish calmly. The aromatic fillet will not fall apart.
Bake
Recipes for weight loss contain a minimum of oil. The baking process itself involves cooking the product simultaneously from all sides in the oven. At the same time, the fish turns out much tastier than with banal boiling.
Foil or a sleeve is suitable for baking. Nutritionists have noticed: oven-fried foods are much healthier than those fried in a frying pan. Pieces of fish can be “released from protection” a few minutes before they are ready. Then you will get a delicious crust without butter. Or try baking it in natural yoghurt. The taste is indistinguishable from sour cream. But fewer calories.
Can I eat fried, salted or smoked?
If you have gastritis or other stomach problems, you shouldn’t eat fried food.. But reconsider your cooking methods. In batter or breadcrumbs - definitely not. Especially with diabetes. If you really want it, you can treat yourself to a portion in a small amount of oil. But not more than once a week. Just don’t forget to place the finished pieces on a napkin. The oil should be absorbed. By the way, in my article “” you can find a lot of interesting things.
And here Doctors do not prohibit salty food. Just not herring or ram, of course. It’s better to make lightly salted, low-fat fish yourself. Eat only in the first half of the day. Otherwise, expect unpleasant swelling on your face and extra pounds on the scale. After eating something salty, you just want to drink and drink.
Smoked is strictly prohibited! Don't even think about it - definitely not. The dangers of smoked food have been talked about for so long that everyone has stopped paying attention to it. But in vain - dangerous carcinogens can cause cancer.
Smoked meats negatively affect the stomach and liver. Firstly, the amount of salt in such products is increased. Secondly, the calorie content increases due to the removal of water during the cooking process. In order not to be unfounded, I am attaching a table for comparison.
| Fats in fresh fish, per 100 grams | Fats in smoked fish, per 100 grams | Calorie content smoked fish per 100 g | |
| Hot smoked perch | 0,9 | 8 | 166 |
| Cold smoked sturgeon Tesha | 10,9 | 25,7 | 302 |
| Cold smoked sturgeon balyk | 10,9 | 12,5 | 194 |
| Cold smoked roach | 2,8 | 6,3 | 181 |
| Hot smoked cod | 0,6 | 1,2 | 115 |
| Hot smoked bream | 4,4 | 4,5 | 172 |
| Cold smoked bream | 4,4 | 4,6 | 160 |
| Hot smoked cod | 0,6 | 1,2 | 115 |
| Cold smoked mackerel | 13,2 | 15,5 | 221 |
And careless manufacturers can smoke low-quality raw materials. In addition to the main problems, you can also get poisoned.
Fish is a tasty and healthy product that will help cope with overweight. Choose low-fat varieties and cook. Fried, baked or boiled - you can calculate a varied menu for the whole week. Daily use will make you not only slim, but also beautiful.

Fish. Benefits and harms
Fish may contain harmful substances
At the moment, fish are very dangerous due to their bacteriological diseases. It is also polluted by toxic waste that is in the water. Such fish may contain salts of heavy metals that can cause significant harm to the human body.
In recent years, there has been intense pollution of lakes and rivers wastewater, and above all from the largest centers. Fish absorbs all toxic substances in the water. Most fish caught in the open sea contain toxic waste that is present in the water. And the older the fish, the more waste it will accumulate.
Fish may contain heavy metal salts
Heavy metals accumulate in the organs and tissues of marine life, and poisoned water injures their outer coverings. Fish have curvature of the spine, lack of fins, cirrhosis of the liver, ulcers on the integument, and kidney stones. Heavy metals rush into the water especially intensively in the spring, when the snow melts.
Expert commission for biological research clean water, flora and fauna of the world's largest freshwater lake system has concluded that eating fish from the system has negative health effects. Scientists have proven that mercury contained in fish causes infertility in both men and women. Mercury causes cellular or genetic damage to the ovaries.
Scientists emphasize that much more toxic elements are concentrated in predatory fish, since the food chain ends there. The results of the analyzes conducted by the researchers showed that various organs fish - scales, muscles, bones, liver, genitals, intestines, contain off-scale doses of zinc, copper, lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, arsenic, chromium, as well as cesium-137 and strontium-90.
Chlorinated hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls, which are harmful to humans and accumulate in fats, are often present in large quantities in fatty fish (salmon, salmon, trout).
It is known that when storing fish, fats quickly oxidize under the influence of air, light and elevated temperature.
From frequent use Omega-3 fatty acids for people who have problems with the pancreas, an overdose of omega-3 threatens serious problems with the adrenal glands.
Part harmful substances accumulates in fish oil
Phosphorus from fish is poorly absorbed because it contains too little calcium and magnesium. Scientists know that calcium and phosphorus are fully absorbed only when the product you eat contains calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium in an organic, balanced form.
The most valuable fatty acids in fish are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids), which are absent in other products (fish oil).
Fatty acids sharply reduce the concentration of cholesterol in the blood, and this has a beneficial effect on the health of the brain, heart and blood vessels, and prevents the development of depression and dementia in old age. They protect blood vessels from atherosclerosis and thereby reduce the risk of developing angina, heart attacks, strokes, and heart rhythm disturbances.
Regular consumption of fish and fish products reduces heart attacks by almost half, and the risk of dangerous diseases hearts.
Fish is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
Most omega-3 fatty acids are found in fatty fish, which contain at least 8% fat (mackerel, fatty herring, tuna, eel, halibut, trout, salmon, etc.). Some varieties of this fish can be twice as high in calories as pork. Eating fatty fish is not recommended for obese patients.
Fish of medium fat content (4-8% fat - sea bass, pike perch, horse mackerel, pink salmon, low-fat herring, carp, etc.) are more suitable for the diet. The average calorie content of these varieties is comparable to beef and lean pork.
Low-fat fish (no more than 4-8% fat - cod, hake, pollock, navaga, river perch, bream, flounder, blue whiting, pike, ice fish, etc.) helps people normalize fat metabolism and cope with excess weight and atherosclerosis.
Each type of fish contains its own amount of healthy fats.
Insulin, which is vital for patients, is now obtained from fish diabetes mellitus, pancreatin and other drugs beneficial human health.
Compared to animal and poultry meat, fish is digested by the body much easier and faster (fish stays in the stomach for 2-3 hours, and meat for 3-4, or even 5-6 hours).
Fish is good for health
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), eating fish and fish products about 2 times a week reduces the incidence of various diseases - the cardiovascular system, cancer, atherosclerosis, etc.
Sea fish is healthier river fish because of high content fatty acids, vitamins, and macroelements. It is better to eat fish of medium or small size, as they do not have time to accumulate harmful substances.
Sea fish is healthier than river fish
For metabolic disorders, atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary disease heart nutritionists advise using fish (especially sea fish), as it contains especially a lot of fluorine and iodine, the deficiency of which many suffer from.
Often sellers replace one type of fish with another that is similar to it, but less expensive and tasty. Therefore you need to know distinctive features between similar-looking fish.
Fish caught by amateur fishermen, usually sold near shops or at railway stations, does not undergo veterinary and sanitary control for suitability for food consumption.
Fresh fish must be firm
Quality fish have red eyes and dark red gills. If there is mucus on the gills and the eyes are cloudy, this means that the fish is not the freshest. Mucus on the surface of the skin should be colorless, without impurities foreign odors. When pressing on the scales, there should be no dents left - the fish must be elastic.
At home, the freshness of ungutted fish can be determined by placing it whole in a bucket of water - fresh fish sink to the bottom, but the stale one will definitely float up. For a deeper and more detailed study, a special laboratory and specialists will be required.

Cooking dietary fish
How to cook pollock, cod and other low-fat fish without spoiling it and making the dish tasty? Any fish diet necessarily sets conditions for preparation: you can boil, stew, bake or steam. You cannot eat fried, salted, smoked or dried fish.
In general, it is better not to add salt to any dietary dishes, or there should be a minimum amount of salt. Instead, you can actively use herbs, garlic, dried herbs, lemon juice.
Steaming fish
The ideal option, this way the maximum benefit is preserved. Any variety is suitable for this. You can use pans with a double bottom, or you can insert special silicone inserts into the bottom of a multicooker and a regular pan.
To prevent the fish from falling apart during cooking, it must first be acidified and lightly salted; you can marinate it a little in lemon juice, mustard, tomato paste or soy sauce.
Here are a couple of steamed fish recipes:
- Pour lemon juice over the fish, lightly rub with mustard, sprinkle with garlic and any herbs. Wrap in foil and steam for half an hour to 40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the piece.
- Generously cover the fish steak or portioned pieces with onion, sprinkle with fresh herbs and add a clove of garlic.
- Make minced fish fillet, lightly seal it with flour or semolina and prepare cutlets. You can add onion, garlic, egg, starch.
Small but effective secret: To avoid an unpleasant fishy smell during steaming, you can add a little green tea or mint to the water. Or pre-hold the fish for an hour in milk.
Boiling fish
Reduces calorie and fat content of the dish. The average cooking time for fish is 20-30 minutes over medium heat after boiling. You can boil the fish for broth, eat it in the form of fish soup and fish and vegetable soups, or you can fill it halfway with water. The result will be poaching and almost steaming. For taste, you can add carrots, tomato paste, onions, garlic, and any greens to the cooking water. If the fish is frozen, add 10-15 minutes to the time.

Healthy bake fish in the oven
To make the dish juicy, the fish is usually wrapped in foil. Again, you can marinate it 2 hours before cooking in lemon juice, mustard, soy sauce, wine vinegar, add onions, garlic and herbs.
It is more convenient to bake the whole fish, and then cut it into portions and decorate it with herbs, lemon slices, olives, and cranberries if desired.
Also a dietary dish. To do this, fish fillets are passed through a meat grinder several times or crushed in a blender. Then beat the protein and mix with fish puree.
You can add carrot, onion, and garlic puree to the soufflé. The resulting creamy mass is either wrapped as a sausage in cling film, tying the ends tightly and then wrapped in foil, or placed in a baking dish, covered with foil on top. Soufflé baking time is 20-30 minutes.
