Formerly a Russian nutritionist, Doctor of Medicine Alexey Kovalkov revealed to Russians a way to lose weight quickly and correctly by the New Year. According to the expert, when losing weight, attention should be paid not to calories, but to the composition of the products. “If there is little fat in a product, this does not mean that it is healthy,” the nutritionist stressed. “Not only does it all depend on fats. A person never gets fat from fats, nor does he turn green from greens.”
