Recommendations and precautions to take
Are there any risks in following the detox cure with the lemon diet?
If the hypocaloric detoxification day is not prolonged and if the diet remains varied and balanced, there are no particular risks in following the lemon diet. Except in exceptional cases (pregnancy, renal pathologies, etc.) it is a diet that is generally suitable for the greatest number.
Is this a diet for you?
Yes if you like lemon and if you want to shed a few pounds relatively easily. It is not a drastic diet, weight loss is natural and allowed by a balanced diet that covers energy needs.
Is the lemon diet compatible with sport?
Absolutely, if your nutrient needs are covered by a balanced diet, the practice of a sport is absolutely recommended in parallel with the lemon juice diet. Practicing a sport will help tone the body, facilitate weight loss and maintain a healthy weight for the long term.
The lemon diet before and after: how not to regain weight?
Weight regain after the lemon diet is not inevitable. It generally occurs when the caloric restriction has been too great and the days of conventional food have not been sufficiently well constructed to cover the needs of the body. As long as the diet is balanced and provides the body with everything it needs, there is no reason for weight gain after the diet. On the contrary, the lemon diet can be a good way to relearn healthy eating and adopt better habits that should be maintained even after stopping the detox cure with the lemon diet.
