Side Effects of the Zhanna Samsonova Diet

It is better to shift gradually from a normal diet to a fully raw vegan diet.

Calories deficiency: Fully raw vegan foods lead to unnecessary calorie deficiency, and you’ll be dizzy and lazy throughout the day.

Metabolic rate: Following a fully raw vegan diet might reduce your metabolic rate. That’s why it is recommended to measure your energy level and eat based on what your body exactly requires.

Social issues: If you’re a working professional and having lunch with your colleagues, then a fully raw vegan diet might be a challenging option.

Nutrition deficiency: Vitamin B12, calcium, protein, omega 3, and fatty acids are some of the most vital nutrients missing in a fully raw vegan diet.

This is because our body loses essential nutrients daily.

That’s why it is not recommended to follow the Zhanna Samsonova diet.

Why an extreme diet is dangerous for health 

Nowadays, following an extreme diet and sharing on social media has become a trend. This is because everyone wants to look slim, but no one understands what works and what does not.

We also reviewed some diets called the cardboard diet and BBBE diet,

Which is not good for any age group of human beings. 

Extreme diets lack the essential nutrients we discussed above, and their drawbacks take time to heal themselves.
