Complicit to these false beliefs are the hundreds of fake news about it spread by fake nutrition specialists, who propose to eliminate pasta and bread and blur all the beneficial properties of these foods.

In addition, by doing so, we lay the foundations for regaining weight much more easily and not weight of lean mass, but of fat, thus setting in motion a vicious cycle that rarely ends up regaining only the weight lost, thus increasing the volume in points .more critical.
