The topic of proper nutrition and weight loss is fertile ground for speculation and real myths.

But the information that is conveyed on a regular basis reaches people who dream of losing weight so convincingly that people continue to believe in it to this day.

Experts have collected and assessed four common unscientific methods for fighting excess weight.

In fact, this is exactly the case when low efficiency is accompanied by a health threat.

Starvation

Fasting, as well as various extreme diets, the effectiveness of which has not been scientifically proven, will also not lead to anything good.

They seriously affect your health and are ineffective in the long term – the excess weight returns.

Slimming cocktails
