Weight loss: 3 actions for results

Written on December 7, 2025, by Pauline de Santarome


Hiking in the Pyrenees, canoeing in the Aveyron, sunbathing on the beach, and family picnics—you can almost feel summer coming! This time of year should no longer be synonymous with restrictions and deprivation. 

 


What if we (re)learned how to take care of ourselves?



From detox to drainage and fat burners, discover the different slimming treatments available. Taking care of yourself for summer is good, but doing so all year round is even better!


Here are the top 3 weight loss strategies explained:


1. Detox, for those who want to get rid of accumulated toxins


2. Drainage, ideal for regaining a flat stomach


3. Fat burners: eliminating calories 


1. Detox and diet: a very different weight loss goal


No misinformation: we explain what detox is


Detoxing should not be confused with dieting. Here, we are helping our organs. Detoxing allows the kidneys and liver to function optimally. The goal is simple: to cleanse the body by breaking down toxins.


Imagine a car engine that becomes clogged with dirt over time. The liver works in the same way, accumulating toxins. Fatigue, dull complexion, brittle hair, poor digestion,weight gain... Forget all that with detox!


Detox and diet: a very different weight loss goal

What should be avoided at all costs? And how can you find your way around?


Despite the emerging trend of fasting, it often leads to a yo-yo effect. Excessively low-calorie diets and mono diets should also be avoided. On the other hand, you can opt for products with plant-based active ingredients fora significant boost. You can also set yourself daily "appointments" and reminders so you don't miss your detox.


Organic plant-based ingredients for my detox


The Dandelion has diuretic and purifying properties, which help the body eliminate toxins.


The Great burdock  helps facilitate the body's elimination functions.


• Theleaves of ash are traditionally used for their draining properties.

What should be avoided at all costs?

2. Drainage, your slimming ally for a flat stomach


Drink, drain, eliminate


It is well known that in order to lose weight, you need to eliminate waste. Drainers therefore activate the body's natural elimination system to help it remove all the waste it produces. We'll talk about the liver in a moment!


You'll get your flat stomach back, but that's not all! Drainage also helps restore normal balance to your diet by regulating your appetite. Enhanced slimming action.

Which plants have diuretic properties for enhanced slimming effects?



• Green tea Green tea is a fat-burning activator (known as lipolysis).


OrganicGuaranahelps eliminate fat and promote weight loss.


Organic dandelion is both a mild diuretic and a stimulant for intestinal transit.


Organic Organic Birch  increases urination and therefore stimulates the kidneys.


• Other plants such as burdock andorganicmilk thistle are known for their draining properties.


3. Fat burner, the frustration-free slimming solution


A clear and specific objective

 

Boost your metabolism, regulate your appetite, and burn calories...All without increasing your physical activity and still enjoying tasty meals.


Impossible but true? That's exactly how fat burners work. By increasing the body's heat production (thermogenesis), fat burners promote weight loss. This action allows our body to draw energy from stored fat to convert it into energy (this is the principle of lipolysis).


In short, nothing is lost, everything is transformed (and not into fat 😉).


It is also important not to snack between meals, avoid eating too much, and exercise regularly. Discover all of Santarome's dietary supplements for weight loss.


Identifying good fats and bad fats


Be careful, though! This doesn't mean you should banish fats from your diet!


A healthy diet contains35 to 40% of daily calories from fat, according to ANSES. So remember to favor complex fats such as omega 3, 6, and 9 (found in fatty fish and oilseeds, for example). And avoid saturated and trans fats, which are found in most processed foods. Our bodies tend to store them.


In conclusion, fat is life, but we still need to identify the kind that is good for us.
