Are popular diets for everyone? How to eat to live healthily, but not harm yourself? Our dietetics specialist, Joanna Pieczyńska, PhD, dispels readers' doubts in the magazine "Samo Zdrowie".

The pegan diet is considered the trendiest diet of 2019. It is a combination of a vegan diet with a paleo diet (which is based on meat and fish). Dr. Joanna Pieczyńska, a dietitian who sees patients at our clinic in Kobierzyce on a daily basis, explains step by step to readers of the magazine "Samo Zdrowie" whether this diet is suitable for everyone and whether its use will allow us to lose unnecessary kilograms.

We recommend checking out the latest issue of Samo Zdrowie magazine (July/August 2019). Dr. Pieczyńska's advice can be found on page 37.
