The lightning diets? You can talk about it as badly as you want, but Dr. Alexander van Tulleken has managed to prove that they work. All. Even the most bizarre so-called “fad diets”, from the Bulletproof ketogenic diet of the entrepreneur Dave Asprey, to the biscuit or cookie diet, to the famous Master Cleanse lemon diet, not to mention the tube diet. Alexander van Tulleken says they can be criticized, but that by putting 1 overweight person on a diet to make a diet experiment a TV show, he was stunned by the results: all participants in the experiment would have lost weight, in fact. some cases it would have treated even several kilos.

 Alexander van Tulleken admitted he hates to say it, but many of the disposable diets and lightning diets work . Maybe even all of them. But then why are blinkered or “disposable” diets (I don’t know how to translate fad diet better) are looked at so badly?
Basically they make you lose weight.
Sure, the doctor replies. That they all lose weight is due to the fact that they propose a calorie restriction (you eat little) or a food restriction ( you eat few things, and even if you are told that you can eat at will, you begin to eat less because of a kind of “depression. food “) or both. Some of these also have in common the same things that your doctor would tell you, that is: reduce sugars, no alcohol, eat more fruit and vegetables or in any case more vegetables, moderate oneself at the table. 

The point is an other. With fast diets you can lose weight , but not maintain the results achieved , confirms the doctor. I understand the incredible happiness that can come to us seeing the scale go down, but believe me, it is much worse when you gain weight even a pound a day without knowing why, simply because the dear lightning diet cannot last forever. And in the meantime we accumulate stress, our metabolism worsens, our fat mass is depleted every day.
Stopping this decline is possible. Without lightning diets. But with habits that will last a lifetime.
