American scientists have reported that a short period of water fasting improves health.
For example, such a diet will have a positive effect on cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Experts conducted an analysis of other data.
They added that with such a diet, you can add juices and soups to your diet.
Those who followed this diet for five days usually lost up to 6 percent of their weight. If the diet lasted up to 10 days, then from 2 to 10 percent could go away.
Some studies have noted that participants often gained weight back after fasting.
Doctors added that often 75 percent of weight loss during fasting was due to muscle loss, not fat.
There were negative side effects, such as headaches and insomnia.
The authors stated that no one should fast without special supervision. Such a diet can only be prescribed by a doctor.
The doctors' findings were published in Nutrition Reviews .
