The fact that strict diets do not have a very good effect on health have been known for a long time. But, it turns out, they are also ... stupid. It was to such conclusions that English psychologists came to test 60 women for attention, remembering and speed of reaction.

The first experiment was conducted after women spent a couple of weeks on a strict diet, and the second - after they for a few days ate everything they wanted.

So the results of testing for an empty stomach absolutely all of them were about 30% worse than after a normal diet. That's why scientists argue that you should not go on a diet when, for example, you have exams, a job change or something that requires intense mental activity.

And in general, according to scientists, any strict diet is a strong stress for the entire body, and therefore they should not be abused.
