The diuretic diet menu is based on foods that quickly combat fluid retention and detoxify the body, promoting relief from swelling and excess weight in a few days.
This menu can be used especially after excesses in the diet, with a large consumption of foods rich in sugar, flour and fats, and after excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.
See an example of a 3-day menu for this diet:
The diuretic diet helps you lose weight as it is low in calories, promotes good bowel function and promotes detoxification of the body, but it is important to remember that this diet should not be followed for more than 7 days in a row.
Furthermore, the results of weight loss using diuretic foods are enhanced when aerobic physical activity is done along with the diet, such as walking or cycling for 30 minutes. See other diuretic foods to vary your diet at: Diuretic foods.
