Feedback

Marina, 29. Not so effective is the presidential diet. At least not understand why it is called a beach. If you plan to freshen up before the start of the bathing season, act should start as early as possible. It’s not the Express method. Basically weight goes well in the first phase. Well as well – two weeks I lost almost 7 kg After this, the process slows down sharply. Kilo go, but not so willingly. Because he was getting thinner with a friend for a couple, then carefully wrote down all the agreements reached on the South beach diet results. Then it made a sort of statistics – a day on average PD we have lost 120 g, which in terms of weeks is less than 1 kg, So it looks all nice, but the reality is very long in coming.
