    It makes me laugh these diets that you put to lose weight that you deceive people. You do not put any protein and the hydrate that you put in you put it in the dinner that is when you get fat ... not to mention the few nutrients that you eat ... the only thing that you are going to get with this diet is to lose liquid by the infusions, lose muscle by the little protein and put on fat by putting the hydrate in dinner when you had to be at breakfast to have strength for the whole day. He already says that everyone is a nutritionist and because of these they destroy our body and health

    Where the hell is the protein in this diet? It is true that sweet potatoes are very nutritious but you have to combine them with proteins, so that anxiety does not drive you crazy and then you want to eat a whole elephant ... No diet that is not protein-based is useless ... Both to increase muscle mass and to lower body fat
