When losing weight, you should avoid mono-diets.

The fact is that they only harm your health because they do not provide the body with the necessary nutrients.

In this case, weight loss does occur, but due to the loss of water and muscle.

This was reported by doctor Nadezhda Podkorytova, writes the publication “ Gazeta.Ru ”.

It should also be taken into account that this type of diet is contraindicated for those who suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, hypertension, and diabetes.

People who have suffered from urolithiasis should also avoid this diet, as should pregnant women.

Podkorytova added that a mono-diet provokes diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, and leads to iron deficiency and obesity.

When losing weight, it is better to choose a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrients. It is also important to remember about physical activity.
