Losing weight correctly is a whole science, and it’s not only about following a diet and choosing it, but also about following a daily routine and physical activity.

But the most important question is the right choice of diet. It is very difficult to decide, and all because of the variety of options.

Dietitian at the Regional Clinical Hospital Rena Yusifova spoke in an interview with the Vestnik publication about the dangers of a low-carbohydrate diet and intermittent fasting.

Today, these are the two most popular methods for combating excess weight.

As the specialist noted, both diets allow you to effectively fight excess weight, but only in the short term.

Moreover, it is better not to resort to them without prior consultation with a doctor.

However, in pursuit of a slim body, many choose these diets, often to the detriment of their health.

The specialist notes that intermittent fasting refers to a diet that separates periods of eating and fasting.

A low-carb diet refers to a diet that significantly reduces the amount of carbohydrates in the diet.

At the same time, the doctor notes that a long-term effect from following a diet can only be achieved by revising your diet.

All other dietary patterns, without exception, have a short-term effect, and after returning to the usual diet, the lost kilograms return.
