The ideal system is one that we will mainly learn to eat better, by restoring the balance, including avoiding fats and sugars hidden. Above all, it is important to finally adopt these good eating habits. Since it is pointless to go on a diet and then revert to an unbalanced diet .... The best is still to consult a nutritionist or dietitian, to identify the most common mistakes and change smoothly ... And do not forget that food is not everything: a little exercise is indispensable.
