Fennel diet: how it works


For a salvific help in view of the costume test, you can try this diet which involves a large consumption of the vegetable for lunch, dinner and snack

The term diet literally means lifestyle, especially in the food sector. The meaning we give today to this term, however, comes close to a series of recommendations aimed at weight loss. For an adequate and reliable diet one should rely on a dietician or nutritionist, eat healthy and exercise a lot: often, however, we hear about "diets of the moment", more or less questionable methods to lose extra pounds in a very short time in sight summer. Among these, of course, there is fennel diet, one of the most famous and historical lightning diets.

Why fennel?

The theory behind this diet claims that the fennel, which contains only 31 calories per 100 grams, is the perfect food for lose fluids in excess e deflate the belly, thanks to the high fiber content. This diet promises to lose approx two kilos in two weeks, those caused by water retention, that is, by water that the tissues are unable to dispose of due to a diet rich in sugar and salt and low in raw fruit and vegetables.
This food plan which is based on the predominant consumption of only one food, should only be followed for a couple of weeks at most to avoid food shortages.

How the fennel diet works

The fennel diet is based on a calorie restriction and on the abundant consumption of these vegetables. Light dishes are combined with this food, preferring the first at lunch with a small protein content e a second at dinner, but without carbohydrate sources, fruit excluded. Both meals must be accompanied by at least 150-200 grams of fennel and the snacks are obviously based on raw fennel or centrifuged and a low-fat yogurt. The only meal in which the detox vegetable is absent is breakfast, which, as in many diets, must be made with 200 milliliters of partially skimmed milk and 30 grams of cereals. To accompany the fennel diet and improve its effects, it is necessary to do a light daily physical activity and drink two liters of water per day. To speed up the drainage of liquids even more, it is often suggested to drink herbal teas and infusions based on, guess what, fennel.

Warnings on the fennel diet

The fennel is a vegetable that has excellent nutritional properties and is actually a valuable help to purify and deflate the body. The fennel diet, however, is rather monotonous and boredom is certainly not an ally in the goal of losing weight and in general all diets of this type should not be followed for a long time: the variety of foods is always the best ally of the our health!
It is also good, before starting a diet, to consult a specialist doctor also because in particular the fennel diet is not suitable for those sensitive to umbrellas, a genus which also includes parsley, celery and carrot. In some cases it could trigger real allergic reactions.
