Advantages and disadvantages of the cabbage diet

The cabbage diet is definitely a huge dose of vitamins. Sam cabbage has valuable ingredients and fibre. This in turn quiets hunger - its property is to make us feel full. The soup regulates the bowels and cleanses them of toxins. The diet itself is not absorbing. To prepare the main meal, cabbage soup, you don't have to stand in the kitchen every day. It is enough to boil a pot of soup once and pour it into jars to take with you to work, for example. The cabbage soup diet regulates the intestines, cleanses them and has a diuretic effect. However, it is worth stressing that the cabbage diet is not perfect and completely safe. Weight is lost on the diet through water loss - we do not burn fat. The meals are low in calories. For this reason, many people who follow it complain of headaches, stomach aches and fainting. On the other hand, returning to old eating habits immediately after following the cabbage diet can cause a yo-yo effect.

What instead of dieting? Laser liposuction

Laser liposuction is an instant fat reduction. Laser slimming results in a 12 cm reduction in waist circumference and this after just one visit.
