Pineapples for weight loss
The fact that pineapple is an effective means to lose weight, shout at every turn. But do not get involved in various drugs that have bromelain in their composition. The fact is that bromelain molecules in this case must penetrate to the subcutaneous fat, and they can do this through the blood. But how, getting into the blood from the intestine, bromelain, broken up into tiny particles, is able to recover again into molecules, remains a mystery. Therefore, one should not believe in the ability of pineapple to burn fats.

Peel the pineapple from the greens and, together with the peel, pass through the meat grinder. The resulting gruel fill with vodka (0, 5 liters) and send it to the refrigerator for a week. Take the resulting remedy for a tablespoon minutes before eating. This amount of tincture should last for about three weeks.
Of course, this recipe can help, because pineapple will break down fats, and vodka will dehydrate the body. Perhaps you will lose a few kilograms per month. But if you continue to eat harmful and fatty foods, the effect, of course, will not be.
In any case, this tropical fruit is worth eating, if only to help your digestion.
