2. Is this diet suitable?

From my point of view, honey is a fantastic food with a lot of beneficial properties for our health. However, honey is not a cure-all panacea. In the end, honey is mainly made up of carbohydrates, which, if consumed in excess, will lead to weight gain. It is therefore a good idea to replace other sweeteners, especially sugar, with honey, and the other way round is to consume too much honey.

The honey diet is a diet similar to other diets with high protein and low carbohydrate intake. According to the author, this type of diet has helped thousands of people to improve their health and lose weight.
