Anti-cellulite diet
The anti-cellulite diet, as the name suggests, aims to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Thanks to a special menu, which is based on fruits, vegetables, cereals and a large amount of water, it is possible to remove excess fluid from the body, which is the cause of the skin lumpiness. Minimally processed products improve digestion, are well absorbed, the body gets rid of toxins and toxins. As a result, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, its color and condition improve.
The anti-cellulite diet should be followed for 10 days. There is no information on how many kilograms during this period you can lose.
The diet can be called tough: apart from plant foods, there is almost nothing in the diet. It is better to observe it in summer, when a rich assortment of fresh vegetables and fruits is presented in shops and markets.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are clearly separated. At least two hours should pass between meals, optimally four hours. During the day, you need to drink plenty of water: about 1.5 liters.
