Weight loss can become an obsession, especially around the time of summer, when we start thinking about the beach and the bikini. The approach of going down a size and losing all the fat that we have been able to accumulate throughout the winter can be futile if we do not plan our diet correctly.
Detox diets, very fashionable today, are not exactly the best examples in this regard, since their excessive restrictiveness provides a strong rebound effect. To counteract this setback, we have to introduce proteins into the routine.
