The Grape Diet and the Amazing Properties of Vine
The Red Grape Diet is just one of the many effective diets for a natural fast weight loss. The complete cycle of this diet lasts for about three weeks, in which grapes gradually substitute for the rest of the food and remain the sole food intake for one week.
It is not necessary to be so radical in the approach though. If you feel it could be too stressful or disruptive for your everyday life, it is not necessary to go all the way, one o two days can be enough to get good results. You can schedule, for example, every weekend of a certain month of grapes only diet. More importantly, if you suffer from diabetes or hyperglycemia you should NOT try this diet without talking to your doctor first.
Grapes have great detoxing and liquid draining qualities and the effects of the grape diet are almost immediate:
- The intestine will be more active and the belly less swollen and flatter
- Your silhouette will look slimmer
- You will feel your legs lighter
- You will be lees hungry
- The craving for sweet food will almost disappear
The therapeutic qualities of vine have been known for a very long time. Not only the bunch of grapes, but the whole plant can be effectively used in a healthy weight loss diet.
Grape seeds. The oil extracted from the seeds is very rich in vitamins E and F and linoleic acid, an essential polyunsaturated fat acid, very important for the intestinal activity and to burn fat. Try it for one month. You can either have a tablespoon in the morning, before breakfast, or use it instead of olive oil to dress your salad.
Buds. The extract from the vine buds has strong detoxing and diuretic properties. Thirty drops a day for one month and you will see amazing results
Pomace. It’s what remains after pressing the grapes, before fermentation. It looks like a pudding, and it’s very rich in vitamins and minerals. It’s normally sold in tablets.
Leaves. Vine leaves have very strong diuretic properties. Leave a tablespoon of dried leaves in boiling water for 10 minutes. You can have up to 4 cups a day, between meals.
You will hardly find these vine extracts at your local supermarket, but for any herbalist they are very common items.
