slimming secret of Dr Pierre Dukan
Retention or support?
If you are one of these women who has trouble putting on and taking off their rings, whose legs are heavy in the evenings and whose face feels puffy in the mornings then you are one of these women for whom this piece of advice is intended; you have water retention!
Paradoxically water retention prevents you from losing weight easily.You'll ask me why since water doesn't contain any calories. Because losing weight, is about burning, creating "ashes" and waste matter and getting rid of this waste.
If you have water retention, you don't eliminate waste properly and the ashes accumulate, putting out the fire that is making you lose weight. Trying blocking a car's exhaust pipe when its engine is running. Very shortly, it will stop. If this is a problem you have, there are not many solutions you can act upon.
Drinking more, sometimes means more retention. So called detox food supplements only help you eliminate if you keep using them and then only a little. There are also diuretics which you need to see your doctor about.
My secret is quite simple: when you feel swollen up, don't hesitate to try some support stockings. Oh! to be sure!, not the old fashioned ones that grannies wear that look like artifical limbs but the very latest models, indistinguishable from the most fashionable tights and stockings.
Legs that are properly supported with firm and elastic support improve your return circulation which then gets back to the heart quicker and passes more often and more quickly through the kidney's filter.
And if, into the bargain, your circulation is bad, the benefit will be twofold. You'll see the results on your scales and on your legs which will be the first to slim down. Try it and go walking, and you'll see!
