And then junk food and drinking little water during the day – explains the nutritionist biologist – These are the main errors that we find at the basis of an incorrect diet, causing abdominal swelling, increased water retention and weight”.
There are some “tricks” for reverse the tendency to gain weight. The expert advises first of all to chew slowly for better digestion and not to strain the body.

Mid-morning snack with fresh fruit or dried fruit. For lunch, pasta with vegetables, accompanied by chicken, fish or parmesan cheese for the main course. Snack based on yogurt and fruit or herbal tea. For dinner, a second course with lean proteins, vegetables and wholemeal bread”.
