Those who are losing weight may face a lack of vital substances.

The Secret to Losing Weight

The diet is based on a strict restriction of calories consumed, as well as a separate nutrition system.

As the name suggests, the diet should be divided into six days (petals).

On one of the specified days, you can only eat one specific type of food.

In fact, protein days alternate with carbohydrate days.

But this causes a lack of nutrients in the body.

In addition, the system is contraindicated in the presence of chronic diseases, as well as for allergy sufferers, pregnant and lactating women.

Nutritionists constantly remind that only a balanced diet, adherence to a dietary regimen and physical activity will help avoid weight problems.
