After analyzing their lifestyle, experts concluded that the figure is influenced by certain factors: the attitude towards food, menus, preferences in products, activity.

If your lifestyle is passive to call it difficult, but even with it you are prevented by extra pounds - most likely, the reason for the fullness lies in the wrong diet.

• French women do not deny themselves of their favorite products. They can afford cake and chocolate. It turns out that it is the ban on any products that most often leads to overeating. If the body lacks any nutrients, then it will require them until it receives the necessary nutrients. A person can eat a lot, but still do not eat up.
• Nutritionists say that in a week you need to eat 30 kinds of food - then the body will get everything that it needs for a normal life.
• You should not "hammer" your stomach. You need everything you want, but only a little bit.
• Food should bring pleasure - these are the dishes you need to choose.

An effective way to maintain an excellent shape is the French protein diet . It allows you to eat delicious and at the same time lose pounds. This is achieved by reducing the consumption of carbohydrates. The main part of the diet is made up of proteins: meat, fish, dairy products, etc. The lack of carbohydrates is replenished with vegetables and fruits.

This method of weight loss is contraindicated in people with diseased kidneys, digestive organs, suffering from thrombosis( blood clotting from protein increases), gout and dysbiosis, as well as people aged. This is due to a certain load on the body, which renders the digestion of animal products. Before the beginning of a weight loss course, consult a doctor even if you do not complain about your health.

Advantages of the protein method of weight loss in simplicity, as well as a nutritious diet. This allows you to get rid of hunger. Starchy foods, flour and sweets should be discarded. Saturation gives a protein. At the same time the weight decreases very quickly. The body loses only fat deposits. Muscles do not lose their appeal. After the end of the diet program, which lasts 2 weeks, the weight loss is not returned for a long time. If you do not start eating, the effect can last for years.

The disadvantages of the French weight loss program lie in the insufficient balance of nutrition. Reducing the consumption of vegetables and fruits can lead to vitamin deficiency, so vitamin courses should be taken during the course. Excess protein, and hence cholesterol, and lack of calcium are also a kind of stress for the body. Therefore, doctors warn that, in order to avoid serious health problems, it is impossible to adhere to this method of weight loss for more than 3 weeks.
