Personally, I love strawberries: when ripe, they are truly irresistible, and they are a type of fruit that makes a real dessert. So even if I don’t like single-issue diets, although this isn’t, today I’m talking about the strawberry diet.

Why go on a strawberry diet.

Strawberries, with their content of vitamin C and ellagic acid which is a powerful antioxidant, are truly a special fruit, which contains from 35 to 49 calories depending on the degree of ripeness, stimulates the immune system, reducing or even blocking the production of free radicals , promotes weight loss, is indicated in case of metabolic syndrome and diabetes .

But I recommend: do not try to eat unripe strawberries to cut calories, because unripe they are indigestible. And buy them organic.

This strawberry diet is not restrictive, it is detoxifying and it is not monothematic but varied. Not only strawberries are eaten, but this food is used to lose weight in a pleasant and healthy way and to strengthen the immune system.

With this gluttonous strawberry diet you can lose a pound a week. Obviously, as with any diet, I recommend that you consult your doctor before doing it.
