The “Moon Diet” diet plan mainly depends on fasting for 24 hours in which you only consume water and juice and helps you lose more than 2.5 kilos of your weight per day.
Many follow strict diets in order to reach an ideal and healthy body, which leads some to resort to more effective diets and in less time.
Among these diets is the “moon diet”, which is one of the diets unknown to many, although it is not new, and has been talked about for years.
Many proponents of this diet promote that this particular system helps to lose weight very quickly, which makes it an appropriate protection before occasions in particular.
Why is the Moon Diet called by this name?
The name “moon diet” is due to its association with the movement of the moon. In this diet, food is stopped on the night of the full moon for 24 hours, with the exception of water and hot drinks without sugar.
The lunar diet is similar to the intermittent fasting system known to many, but it differs from it in the way of abstaining from eating.
The specialized doctor indicated that when the moon begins to disappear, a person can eat foods, provided that they are low in calories and free of fat, such as brown bread, milk and low-fat dairy products, cooked vegetables, fruits and raw nuts, especially in the morning and grilled chicken.
What does the lunar diet do to the body?
According to the “Healthy Line” website, which specializes in health news, abstaining from food during the full moon period does not help you lose fat, but rather contributes to getting rid of fluids accumulated inside the body, so some nutritionists call it the “placebo diet.”
Fasting for 24 hours at the full moon contributed to the elimination of toxins, and the body could lose 6 pounds of water weight in one day, which is equivalent to about 2.5 kilos in 24 hours.
Conditions for following the lunar diet
Jamal revealed, in an interview with the “Consulto” website, which specializes in health affairs, the danger of the lunar diet to some people.

Jamal pointed out that there is a serious flaw in this system, which is that there are some people who face difficulty in abstaining from food, because abstaining from food makes them more voracious in eating foods, which leads to weight gain, contrary to what the person seeks.
