A diet that is followed to combat excess weight can, if not done carefully, send you to a hospital bed.

In some cases, the consequences can be most deplorable. Not only in the form of returning kilograms, but also chronic diseases.

Doctorpiter reports on one such diet, citing endocrinologist Elizaveta Kardapoltseva.

Firstly, the expert does not advise dividing products into harmful and healthy.

It all depends on how often and how much of a particular food a person consumes.

A perfect example is the "plate method":

  • 50% vegetables;
  • 25% protein;
  • 25% carbohydrates.

Secondly, the nutritionist does not recommend compensating for the lack of nutrients with dietary supplements.

In this case, neither the amount of substances in the supplement nor the body's reaction to them is known.

At the very least, an allergic reaction may occur, but toxic hepatitis or acute liver failure may develop.

Third, don't believe in the paleo diet.

In this case, it is recommended to include a lot of red meat in the diet, excluding legumes, dairy, cereals and sugar.

As a result, the level of trimethylamine-N-oxide increases, which affects the condition of blood vessels, the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and provokes the appearance of excess weight.

The only diet that does not harm health and is even considered beneficial for the heart, blood vessels and the body as a whole is the Mediterranean diet.
