Dairy diet
There are many different nutritional systems, collectively called the "milk diet", based on the consumption of milk and dairy products. The most popular are the 3-day milk mono diet and the 7-day milk diet.
All milk diet options are low in calories. The diet should contain only healthy, low-fat foods. Food should be cooked in gentle ways - boiling, baking and stewing.

The dairy diet is effective in any way. It is suitable for those who urgently need to get rid of extra pounds, while minimizing harm to health. On average, the plumb line is 4-5 kg per week.
