Losing Weight With Activated Carbon

Losing weight with activated carbon

As you know, women are ready to go to great lengths in the fight against excess weight. The “assortment” of ways to lose weight is not at all limited to diets and sports. A variety of medications are used, not necessarily intended for weight loss. Many, for example, believe that you can successfully lose weight with activated carbon.

Activated carbon is produced from organic carbonaceous raw materials (eg charcoal) by activation. At this stage, the pores are opened, which are in a closed state in the feedstock. The consequence of this is the porous structure of the finished activated carbon, as well as the fact that it is an effective sorbent, that is, when taken inside, harmful substances are bound and excreted from the body. This property of coal is used to combat various poisonings.

Sometimes women, instead of using activated charcoal to fight poisoning, use it for weight loss. There are two schemes for losing weight with activated carbon.

According to the first scheme, for weight loss, you should drink 10 tablets of activated carbon per day, on an empty stomach, breaking the tablets into three doses.

According to the second scheme, you need to take one tablet of coal per 10 kilograms of weight before meals (maximum 7 tablets at a time). It is recommended to start with three tablets, increasing the dose gradually so that the body gets used to the new drug. The course of weight loss lasts 10 days, after which it is necessary to take a break of the same duration. Then you can repeat the course.

We told you what schemes for losing weight with the help of activated carbon exist. Let's see if you can really lose weight with it.

How does charcoal affect body weight? No way. All it can do is cleanse your intestines and remove toxins from your body. Where, then, does the effect of weight loss come from? The answer is simple. Usually, women who lose weight with active charcoal drink a lot of water with pills, and, as a result, eat less. So if you reduce the amount of food you eat and drink two liters of water per day for 10 days, you can lose weight without any coal.

But excessive enthusiasm for this drug can lead to unpleasant consequences. After all, activated carbon does not care what to absorb. Remember that with prolonged use, coal, together with toxins, begins to remove nutrients, as well as vitamins and trace elements from the body. This is fraught with vitamin deficiency for a healthy person, and if you have health problems, then the problems can be more serious. So, activated carbon easily removes calcium and potassium from the body, and for heart patients, a violation of the potassium-calcium balance in the body can be fatal.

In addition, when taking activated carbon for a long time, the normal functioning of the intestines is disrupted. Activated carbon (like other artificial sorbents) does not stimulate its peristalsis. And in the event that you abuse activated charcoal, your intestines will stop contracting normally, and this is likely to lead to dyspepsia, constipation or diarrhea.

Do not forget also that activated carbon is a drug, and like any other drug it has side effects and contraindications. Among the contraindications are gastric bleeding, ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract and others. The side effects are described above.

So do not rely on the magical properties of this drug. After all, losing weight with the help of activated carbon without harm to the body is unlikely to work. The only thing for which you can use it without hesitation is cleaning the body, here it is an irreplaceable assistant. Although, do not forget about other methods of cleaning the body, more gentle. For example, fiber is a natural sorbent; it is found in vegetables, fruits, grain bread, and cereals. It not only absorbs harmful substances, but is also a source of nutrients and vitamins for the body, and stimulates the intestines. Foods rich in fiber are included in the diet of all kinds of diets (for example, the Kim Protasov Diet or the Ducan Diet). So a balanced diet that is rich in fiber,together with exercise for weight loss is much more effective than activated charcoal.
