Getting rid of extra pounds is the most cherished dream of many women around the world.Even girls who feel good about their figure always want to stay in shape.To do this, representatives of the beautiful half of humanity exhaust themselves in the gym, follow a drinking regimen, and also periodically adhere to a special nutrition system, which includes diets.One of these diets is the “Favorite”.It received its name due to its high efficiency, as a result of which many girls fell in love.
GENERAL RULES AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF THE “FAVORITE” DIET
Due to the fact that such a diet includes separate drinks and nutrition systems, it works in two directions:
- Drinking days are intended to eliminate fluids from the body, in addition to giving you 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, therefore its functioning improves.
It would seem that this combination of two methods within a 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.Some weight will be lost due to the cleansing of the intestines, and only a small part will remain as fat.

WEIGHT LOSER REVIEWS
I felt good throughout the diet, I felt light and happy.And the atmosphere was also good, because the volumes melted before our eyes.
At the end of the diet I weighed myself.And I discovered that I had lost 5.5 kg.This is a wonderful result for a weekly diet!
A good diet, quite satiating, I didn't go hungry with it... In two weeks I managed to lose 8 kg, of course I was very happy when I saw the result and I didn't weigh myself during the diet.
The first two days it was quite difficult to get used to the new style of eating (reduced portions and exclusion of sweets from the diet, and even without salt, it was tasteless at first), although I want to say that I did not experience intense hunger during that time.As usually happens.
In a week eating this way, I lost 5 kilograms, the weight did not return for two weeks.There was a pleasant feeling of lightness.
The "Favorite" diet will be effective if a person drinks up to two liters of clean water per day.Furthermore, before following a certain diet, it is advisable to consult with your doctor about the appropriateness of the chosen weight loss option.
