Results, reviews of thin and doctors about a diet on tangerines ^

As the reviews on the mandarin diet show, it is transferred quite easily, if daily observe the principles of a correct and balanced diet. For best results, you should try to exclude salt from the diet, as well as use only lean meats. Meat and fish should be cooked for a couple or bake in the oven, but do not fry. As a juice, only a natural drink, not a product from a box, will do. In addition, in a daily diet should be present at least 1 liter of clean water.

The mandarin diet has one fatty minus. Due to the constant use of one product as a result, you can "earn" an aversion to it. Therefore, to practice this method of weight loss is recommended not longer than 7 - 10 days and no more often every 6 months.

To a couple of weeks after the end of the selected program for weight loss the missing kilograms did not return and the results of the mandarin diet were still pleasing, it is necessary to take into account some of the nuances:

• First, this is a reasonable eating behavior. Many people think that low-calorie foods can be consumed in any quantity. But this is not so. It is necessary to watch your diet and do not exceed the daily caloric intake.
• Secondly, the correct way out of the diet is important. Arranging a "belly holiday" immediately after receiving positive results of a mandarin diet is not the best solution. To maintain a certain weight, it is necessary to eat moderately throughout life, and not only during certain periods. For those who only arrange days off for citrus fruit, it is recommended that at least a day before and after the "unloading" it is recommended to switch to the right food with the predominance of the fruit and vegetable menu.
• Third, any food system has a greater effect in combination with other methods of losing weight: sports, massage, wraps.
