Green light for diet: minus 3 kg in 4 days!

Summer is the ideal time to eat healthy and lose weight. And if you are looking for a way to quickly get rid of extra pounds, then you should pay attention to the so-called “green diet”. This is one of several “colored” diets that American nutritionists developed at the end of the twentieth century.

The basis of a green diet is fresh green vegetables, which are so abundant in the summer. They will help you lose excess weight, improve skin condition, help the gastrointestinal tract, and also stabilize your nervous system. This diet lasts only 4 days, and can be repeated every two to three weeks. In such a short period of time, you can lose 2-3 kg, but you will have to completely eliminate foods such as butter, refined sugar, lard and meat broths, as well as alcohol in any form.

By following a green diet, you will eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that your body needs. But don't forget about other foods that are also important for your health and well-being.
