Today, everyone can find a diet to their taste. But the thing is that you need to choose a diet not based on advice on the Internet, but with a nutritionist.
We will tell you which trendy diets do not help or provide short-term results.
Detox drinks
The drinks contain substances that have a laxative and diuretic effect. The essence of the diet is that the food eaten leaves the body before it is absorbed.
"Beverly Hills"
It is considered extreme. It implies a certain order of food consumption. Proteins on one day, carbohydrates on another, etc. In fact, it provokes a lack of nutrients.
Carnivorous
The calculation is that the body will spend a lot of calories to digest meat, and the protein consumed will be needed for muscle growth. But without exercise, muscles do not grow, and weight loss occurs due to a lack of nutrients.
Mono diet
The effect is temporary. Unbalanced nutrition causes a lack of nutrients. After completing the diet, the lost kilograms return.
Volumetric nutrition
It is recommended to eat raw plant foods. The emphasis is on a large amount of water and fiber in their composition. The stomach is simply filled with food, but long-term adherence to such a diet can cause dystrophy.
Individual diet
A supposedly scientifically proven diet. The point is that products are selected individually based on blood and DNA analysis. But the theory has no scientific basis and simply boils down to recommendations to exclude harmful products from the diet.
Juices and smoothies
It is believed that replacing your usual food with fruit and vegetable juices (smoothies) causes a calorie deficit. But after the diet ends, the extra pounds return.
