Method One - pill

Who does not want to lose weight without worries and troubles by taking a few pills. So what are the pills are really effective? All tablets can be divided into:

• tablets, leading out of the body fats, such as Xenical; very good preparation, it acts on enzymes that cleave fats in the gastro-intestinal tract, whereby they lose their activity, and fats are broken down is not absorbed in the intestine; Xenical but there are two unpleasant features: cost (too expensive), and the side effect of incontinence after his admission;
• pills and teas, has a laxative and diuretic effect; while taking laxatives and diuretics from the body excess fluid output How to withdraw excess fluid from the body - all sorts of ways That's good, but such funds should not take long, as with the liquid from the body are derived vital minerals;

• Diet second - mono-diet; are kefir, cottage cheese, apple, rice, buckwheat diet; You can, for example, there is undercooked rice or buckwheat for a week and grow thin exactly; but the body goes largely fat and liquid, so if you go back to the old eating habits, then all rack and even add; although maybe we should start with this;
• third diet - protein; if there are some proteins (meat, fish, eggs), they are used as "fuel" for energy (instead of carbohydrates), thereby forming a substance poisonous to the body (mainly, kidney); Dr. Atkins diet is famous (it is the Kremlin, she is American astronauts) is based on this;
• Diet fourth - Dr. Ornish's - a vegetarian diet very low in fat and protein; lack of protein (you can not even have nuts!) is fraught with decreased immunity Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults , The deterioration of the skin, hair and nails;
