The intensive care professor added that frequent urination helps the body get rid of the fluids it has gained from simple carbohydrates and salts, emphasizing that the weight the body loses at the beginning of the diet is not due to fat, but rather to the water.
She explained that after the body gets rid of the fluids trapped inside it at the beginning of the diet, it starts burning the fat stored in the abdomen, waist and buttocks, but at a slower rate.
