But does the diet of the artichoke really work ?
How much have you heard about this diet and this vegetable Today I will try to demonstrate based on their nutritional composition, the myths and truths of the artichoke . The artichoke is a very healthy vegetable , that's for sure. Above all, always advise my diabetic patients for its abundance of inulin, a polysaccharide (carbohydrate) that helps control glucose levels in blood. It is very rich in fiber and phytosterols , which prevent constipation and also contribute reduce and control our cholesterol levels. It has many minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium and between vitamins include B complex (biotin, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine) and also contains, although it not in too proportion, vitamin C (30mg / 100g approx). To make matters worse, is another component cynarin artichoke. This substance increases bile secretion, produced in the liver, promoting digestion of fats. He is also credited a strong diuretic effect . Avoiding fluid retention and facilitating the elimination of toxins. It has apigenin and luteolin flavonoids with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer action, antialergizante, antioxidant. Is not almost nothing? lol And for last, but not least, the artichoke has very few calories . Some 25 about !! That makes it an excellent complement to the low-calorie diets for weight loss, but this vegetable should be part of the power for all!

Now, after analyzing some of the most important components of the artichoke, we can say that is ideal for those who want to lose weight food, but "magic" has nothing.
If you eat only artichoke obviously become slim quickly and many kilos, because between that has very few calories and oak is a diuretic ... .te drier sticking to a raisin. But that's balanced and healthy? Noo!
It has few calories and therefore your body will not have a power source. You will notice tired all day and probably will hurt the head by a lack of glucose. Not to mention how irritable when we get some went hungry ... I at least wake up a monster!
As for the cinarina and its effect on the digestion of fats, usually confused with "fat burning effect" and has nothing to do. NO artichoke helps destroy fats, only better digest. So although the artichoke is digestive and diuretic, if your diet is rich in fat, we eat the artichoke, not lose weight. Yesss, I know ... this news is worse than when you were told who they really were the Magi ... But someone had to tell you.
Anyway, I think after seeing all the benefits it provides artichoke , this should not matter.
If you want to lose weight, you know, a balanced diet, including artichoke course, and exercise regularly. But the most important thing is consistency. If you are consistent and you will see the results with the patient over time. That is the key and will always !!!
