Lemon diet
It would seem that the lemon really does not look like a remedyfor weight loss. There are, of course, people who can eat it without the "sour" expression on their face, but this is more like an exception. For most, eating lemons - it's something from the realm of fantasy. And in vain!Many nutritionists and nutrition expertsconsider lemon an excellent way to get rid of excess weight. Lemon contains a large amount of citric acid, which helps to break down fats, speeds up metabolism, eliminates hunger, promotes increased secretion of gastric juice and improves digestion; pectin, regulating the level of sugar in the blood; vitamin C, which helps to strengthen immunity, which is also important in the fight against excess weight. Lemon diet is universal, it gives remarkable results, and you do not have to strictly limit the amount of food and count calories. But try to avoid foods that contain a lot of starch: cereals, potatoes, pasta, and confectionery.
