It has been reported that the diet can help a person lose weight and there are some testimonials from people who use the diet, saying how much weight they have lost. The common consensus is to make a drink by putting Canary Grass seeds (Alpiste in Spanish) in water and leaving it overnight. After that, drain the water through a sieve to get all the bits and pieces of seed out and then drink the remains.
Apparently it’s imperative that you don’t have any sweets or anything sugary, but that’s usually the idea with most diets.
It can be argued that these people are only losing the weight because they aren’t consuming any real food as water doesn’t have much of a calorie value and believe it or not, you need calories to survive. Think of calories as battery power. You need them, however if you take in more than you burn off, you will gain weight. The only true way to lose weight is to burn it off and that means good, old fashioned exercise.
A healthy diet is a good place to start, but unless you do something to burn off the calories, the process will be very long and very sluggish.
A lot of diets prescribe to the placebo effect. That is where the truth is hidden from a person’s beliefs in order for them to gain something, basically if you want to see something there, you will.
With all that being said, La Propiedades Del Alpiste has been reported to help with things such as diabetes, urinary tract infections and sleeping problems. Please note that this diet will not cure diabetes.
