Getting rid of extra pounds is the cherished dream of many women around the world.Even girls who are fine with their figure always want to stay in shape.To do this, representatives of the fair half of humanity exhaust themselves in the gym, follow a drinking regime, and also periodically adhere to a special nutrition system, including diets.One of these diets is “Favorite”.It got its name because of its high efficiency, as a result of which many girls fell in love.
GENERAL RULES AND EXPECTED RESULTS FROM THE “FAVORITE” DIET
Due to the fact that such a diet includes drinking and separate nutrition systems, it works in two directions:
- Drinking days are aimed at removing fluid from the body, as well as giving it a feeling of lightness;
- Separate nutrition excludes carbohydrates or fatty foods from the diet.Products from different food categories do not mix in the human stomach, as a result of which its functioning improves.
It would seem that this combination of two methods within one diet gives excellent results, but no.Many experts argue that such alternation can negatively affect the functioning of the stomach, which will then be extremely difficult to restore.
Most of the weight lost is water.A little weight will be lost due to cleansing the intestines, and only a small part will remain as fat.
