Reviews and results
Nikita Alekseevich, gastroenterologist:
“Boiled food spares the digestive tract, but without a coarse drag, the intestines are unable to function properly. If you refuse fiber, then this will result in the development of constipation. Therefore, during the diet, it is imperative to include fresh cabbage, cucumbers, apples, beets, apricots in the menu."
Svetlana Yarunina, nutritionist:
“The diet menu should be as varied and balanced as possible. This is the only way not to harm your own health. I do not recommend sticking to a mono-diet longer than 2-3 days. In addition, salt must not be completely abandoned, as it can lead to serious health problems. A person can eat about 10 g of this substance a day without harm to the body."
