[ What are paid diets?
Very often on the Internet you are offered different methods for losing weight, for which they ask you to transfer money: to an account, by replenishing an electronic wallet or via SMS. Is it worth doing?
It is unlikely that an electronic Internet system will be able to calculate your weight and recommend the best products for weight loss without taking into account your individual characteristics. Therefore, it is hardly worth paying money for a paid diet unless a professional dietitian-gastroenterologist is involved.
If you have tried many diets and still have not managed to lose weight, if you have health complications, it is better to pay for a specialist consultation. He will listen to you carefully, conduct an examination of the body, including a hormone test, find out if you have any diseases, a tendency to allergies, and then he will be able to develop an individual diet for weight loss specifically for you.
Rest assured that a good nutritionist will not only recommend suitable products for you, but will also calculate the number of calories that you need, as well as calculate a menu with vitamins and minerals as needed.
In addition, individually selected weight loss diets, for best effectiveness, must be combined with exercise in the gym, which will also be selected for you by your doctor individually.
Then your money spent on a gastroenterologist will work for you, and work effectively.
What are free diets?
These are diets, of which there are enough in specialized literature, which you can buy in a store, borrow from friends, take from a library, finally, or fish out in the easiest and fastest way - from the Internet.
You don't have to pay for these diets. You just have to study them carefully, determine whether the ingredients of these diets are right for you, and finally test their effect in practice.
Tips for easy weight loss
Drink a glass of purified water 20-30 minutes before eating. This will help reduce your appetite and you will eat less. In addition, water helps cleanse the body of toxins.
Limit yourself to your usual portions. If you have been eating a large bowl of porridge, change it to a small one. Not very noticeable psychologically, but a good weight loss tool
Fiber is a good way to lose weight. It contains very few calories, but it is very filling. In addition, fiber will help reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.
Soups are great for reducing hunger. Not for long, but still. They are very low in calories. That's why soups, especially vegetable ones, are recommended during weight loss diets.
Replace chocolates and cakes with sweet fruits. Even high-calorie grapes are better than a cream cake filled with margarine and palm oils.
Think of the diet not as a quick way to lose 10 kilos, but as a long-term project aimed at a healthy lifestyle and constant healthy eating. Then your weight will return to normal and will stay at the ideal level for a long time.
So, a weight loss diet is your choice, and we wish it to be stable and successful.
