Being overweight is not a problem yet, but obesity is a bit different. This diagnosis can only be made by a doctor, which means that you need to somehow deal with this. In this case, the therapeutic diet number 8 will be relevant.
Briefly about diet
If a person is diagnosed with obesity, there are various ways to deal with this problem. One of them is proper nutrition. In this case, the doctor will prescribe a diet for obesity No. 8 (you can not use this diet without a doctorβs prescription). It is necessary for people who have even the first degree of the disease. It is worth saying that this is one of the 15 diets that at one time were developed by the brilliant Soviet doctor M. Pevzner. The main goals of this diet :
- First of all, weight loss.
- Restoring the water-salt balance in the body.
- Normalization of lipid metabolism.
An important point: this diet can only be prescribed to those people who have no problems with the digestive organs and liver, as well as cardiovascular diseases. In this case, patients already need a special diet. Therefore, once again it is necessary to clarify that this diet should be prescribed exclusively by a doctor.
