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 food system, including diets.One of these diets is “Favorite”.It got its name because of its high efficiency, which is why many girls fell in love with it.
GENERAL RULES AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF THE “FAVORITE” DIET
Due to the fact that such a diet includes separate drinking and nutritional systems, it works in two directions:
- Drinking days aim to remove liquids from the body, in addition to providing a feeling of lightness;
- Separate nutrition excludes carbohydrate or fatty foods from the diet.Products from different food categories do not mix in the human stomach, which improves its functioning.
It would seem that this combination of two methods within one diet gives excellent results, but it doesn't.Many experts argue that such an alternation can negatively affect the functioning of the stomach, which will be extremely difficult to restore.
Most of the weight lost is water.Some weight will be lost by bowel cleansing and only a small portion will remain as fat.
