Possible harm from baking soda during weight loss
Despite the fact that soda as a medicine and kitchen assistant is used for a long time and effectively, the opinions for and against its ability to remove excess weight sharply divided.
Comments of doctors are often negative, first of all it concerns the use of soda solution inside.
Supporters of the soda diet rest on the fact that soda perfectly cleanses the fat from the dishes, and therefore, and with the hypodermic fats will perfectly cope. But doctors assure: not only that the fat subcutaneous and the one that remains in the pans - different things, so also household( calcined) and baking soda - not the same product. 
The fat burning properties of soda powder is a myth, and only the healthy diet, a lot of fiber in the diet and regular sports can adjust the metabolism - these are the experts' opinions.
Regular use of sodium bicarbonate for weight loss can cause frightening consequences:
- Persistent nausea and heartburn;
- Suppuration of open inflammation and wounds;
- Abdominal pain;
- Gastritis, internal bleeding and ulcer;
- Dizziness, pressure problems and fainting - from hot tubs.
Reviews of food soda for weight loss
Reviews of those who lose weight about baking soda are also quite contradictory. An interesting feature: the absolute majority of messages on forums, websites about beauty and blogs tell only about soda baths and assure - harm such procedures can not cause at all. 
- "Took a bath with soda for two weeks, lost 5 kg. After each procedure, part of the lost weight was returned, but not so much. "
- "Soda baths are something incredible! The skin becomes unrealistically tender, cellulite is smoothed, and even stretch marks become less noticeable - the difference before and after is obvious. "
Negative feedback basically assures that the promised loss of 1.5-2 kg after each bath is a liquid, and such rapid dehydration only harms the body.
But all forumchinki converge in one: even if you lose more than 2-3 kg after the course of soda treatments and will not succeed, the skin will necessarily get better - fresh, supple and very tender.
- "The liquid leaves instantly - after each bath I lose 2 kg steadily. It helps a lot after a sleepless night or a party - the face immediately freshens and returns to normal shape. "
But the television programs hold the opposite view: the heroes of pseudoscientific programs convince that drinking soda for health and losing weight is an excellent choice, and they say that in a month or two of such experiments they could lose up to 15 kg.
If you are a sensible opponent of experiments on your own health, but want to feel the magic properties of sodium powder, choose soda baths. They will help to relax after a hard day and will give you a healthy shining skin and a wonderful mood.
