In conversation with Lenta.Ru On Wednesday, October 15, the expert explained that a sharp reduction in calories slows down the metabolism — the body begins to save energy and burns fewer calories. Therefore, the weight goes away with difficulty or returns quickly.

She added that mono-diets do not provide the necessary nutrients, cause vitamin deficiency, weakness and reduce the effectiveness of weight loss.

According to the expert, excessive training with a lack of nutrition leads to muscle loss, fatigue and injuries, while "miracle pills" and supplements have no proven effectiveness and have a short-term effect.

Lyalina stressed that enemas and diuretics are especially dangerous: they drain water, creating only the illusion of weight loss and increasing the risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
