Getting rid of extra pounds is the cherished dream of many women around the world.Even girls who have a beautiful 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 regime, and also periodically adhere to a special nutritional system, including diets.One of these diets is the “Favorite”.It got its name due to its high effectiveness, thanks to which 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 eating systems, it works in two directions:
- Drinking days are aimed at removing fluids from the body and giving it a feeling of lightness;
- A separate diet excludes carbohydrates 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 the same diet gives excellent results, but no.Many experts claim 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 through bowel cleansing, and only a small portion will remain as fat.

A good diet, quite filling, I didn't feel 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 food (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 feel intense hunger during his stay.As usually happens.
In a week of eating this way, I lost 5 kilos, the weight did not return for two weeks.There was a pleasant feeling of lightness.
