Now there is an abundance of fruits and vegetables. It's time to go on a color diet. Losing weight on it is simple and bright
This diet has been proven to be effective. And more than once. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that everyone can "sit down" on it! And at the same time, it will not only be fast to lose weight, but also incredibly bright! Don't believe me? In vain!
In this diet, firstly, the principle of colored food is used, and this is already beautiful and unusual. Secondly, it was created on the basis of the "Taste the Colors" nutrition program, developed by the Ukrainian National Cancer Institute back in 2002. That is, initially the menu is created in order not only to lose weight or improve health, but also to develop protection against cancer!
COLORED DIET PRINCIPLES
Every day, products of a certain color are introduced into the menu. For example, on Monday you eat only white vegetables or fruits, and on Tuesday - red ones. Eat 5 to 9 servings of vegetables and fruits daily.
Vegetable days can be swapped. That is, if you prefer purple vegetables, and you cannot stand white vegetables, you can exclude a day of white vegetables from your diet by replacing it with a different color.
At the same time, nutritionists say: it is worth listening to such whims, since this the first signal that not everything is in order in the body and some organ requires intervention. In other words, you need to eat more foods that are good for the liver or heart, for example, and not blindly follow the recommendations.
