What are the disadvantages?
Before being on the rise thanks to Pippa Middleton (which does not have a crucial need for its silhouette), this diet launched in 2016 by two English dietitians had not convinced the specialists, which are still doubtful. On the one hand, on a scientific level: no study has been done on the effect of sirtuines in humans (the only work carried out is done in mice, yeast and cell crops), and we do not know the real and long -term effects of this diet (especially since they are long and difficult to set up). Then because this diet promises an ultra-fast weight loss … generally guaranteeing a melting of fats but also muscle mass (and loss of water), as well as a resumption of the just as rapid kilos: the “famous” Yoyo effect.
What is our opinion?
If the “chocolate and red wine” marketing argument is hit in gourmet, the Soft Food Diet remains a low -calories diet, and which can be considered restrictive even if it is obviously not sold as such. Ultra-targeted on certain foods, it does not put on varietyyet essential for optimal contributions of vitamins and minerals and … to avoid frustration. Without forgetting that chocolate, red wine and olive oil have never been prohibited in many classic diets. On the contrary, they participate, in particular, in the famous Mediterranean diet, considered one of the best diets in the world for the line and health.
