7 days – 7 kg Less (the Cucumber Diet)
Summer is coming to an end, but the war on bulges still continues. Slimming drinks, fat-burning supplements, draconian diets… Some people even go so far as to go under the knife. If you want to lose weight without making bad choices, this cucumber diet will allow you to lose excess pounds quickly, and above all healthily.
The cucumber diet is very trendy and shares its premise with the more popular celery juice diet. This diet takes a low-calorie vegetable and makes it a hero of short-term weight loss diets, which might be why it’s also known as the Cucumber 7kg in 7 Days Diet.
