The Maggi diet is a protein diet, the essence of which is that it saturates the body with proteins and limits the intake of fats and carbohydrates. Without receiving sources of energy from the outside, their own body fat is used. According to those who have tried this diet, up to 5 kg of weight is lost per week, it is tolerated quite comfortably, does not cause feelings of hunger, and the results persist for a long time.

The type of food, known as the Maggi diet , helps to reduce weight and volume, as they say, without much effort. Although living for a whole month on a strict regime and schedule, eating only what is indicated on the list, with a big stretch it can be called an easy way to lose weight. The menu for 4 weeks is scheduled by day, a deviation from it means a breakdown and abandonment of the idea, or a re-start from scratch.

In four weeks, the body's metabolism should normalize and excess weight should go away. The diet is protein, but balanced, therefore it is considered harmless for a healthy person. If you correctly exit the diet, then the result lasts a long time, and then the technique can be applied again.

The menu consists of food that stimulates chemical reactions for the processing of fatty tissues. The basis of the diet is eggs combined with citrus fruits. Eggs contain a lot of protein and minerals, citruses are saturated with vitamin components. Menu Features:

  • breakfasts are the same for the first two weeks;
  • lunch and dinner strictly according to the schedule;
  • it is impossible to change one product for another;
  • sugar is prohibited, substitutes are allowed;
  • salt, pepper, add onion and garlic to boiled dishes;
  • chemical seasonings are prohibited;
  • do not use oils;
  • drink plenty of water, regular or diet soda;
  • snacks are allowed - carrots, lettuce, cucumber.

For convenience, the menu for the entire period is printed on paper and attached in the kitchen, in a conspicuous place, in order to clearly follow all the rules.

Curd variant

The uniqueness of the Maggi diet is that it is able to please all gourmets: not only is it designed for different periods, but egg and cottage cheese options are also offered for each period. They are equivalent, the only difference is that instead of classic eggs they use low-fat homemade cheese. Why is that? Obviously, both products are rich in animal proteins, which are quickly absorbed by the human body.

Thanks to the products included in the diet, the body receives proteins and other nutrients, as well as minerals and vitamins. The ban is imposed on potatoes, animal fats, broths, sweet fruits, sugary foods and drinks, alcohol, mayonnaise-type sauces that contain useless or harmful ingredients, too many calories and fats.

From the above, it can be seen that cottage cheese does not mean that only cottage cheese is supposed to be losing weight. In fact, the diet is varied and balanced, but has its own subtleties. Diet features:

  • variety of food;
  • breakfast without meat;
  • ban on product replacement;
  • refusal of fried;
  • useful cooking technologies;
  • tea and coffee - without restrictions, outside the meal;
  • the morning of all days, except for 3 weeks, begins with 150 g of cheese and citrus or fresh juice;
  • the second and fourth weeks are almost the same.

The curd method promises to lose weight by at least 10 kg per month. In addition, the body is cleansed of toxins and enriched with calcium, the main building material.

Egg variant

The classic Maggi diet is based on chicken eggs as a source of protein necessary to start the chemical processes of weight loss. That is, reducing the amount of fat that has a habit of being stored in reserve. They talk about the egg version because, in the process of improvement, versions appeared for those who do not eat eggs. It turned out that home-made cottage cheese containing no less diverse proteins can replace them.

  • But back to the classics, that is, to eggs, which are more in the diet than other products.

There is nothing to say about the fact that this is a unique storehouse of vital components. They contain a huge supply of useful substances - building materials and food for the embryos. And this is no coincidence, because it is from the egg that diverse animals of the classes of reptiles and birds are born.

  • Chicken eggs are included in the set of everyday foods, they are used in many culinary and confectionery recipes, they are easily digested and absorbed by the body.

Why they have become the main ingredient of the diet for weight loss, nutritionists explain by the fact that proteins catalyze the chemical processes of the breakdown of fats in the body, as a result of which their accumulations “melt”.

  • It was studied that the assimilation of the product depends on the duration of cooking. A hard-boiled egg takes longer to digest than a soft-boiled one.

The attractiveness of the technique is that it is not too monotonous. The diet includes all natural products that we use in the daily menu. Each of the 4 weeks is a kind of bar in the general plan for losing weight, with recommended foods and dishes listed in special tables.

Buckwheat diet menu

If you need to quickly lose weight, they resort to a rigid, but short-lived buckwheat diet. This express diet exists in two versions: mono-diet and supplemented with kefir.

It is important to cook cereals correctly. You do not need to boil it, but place it in a thermos and steam it. Salt, do not use seasonings. You can eat in unlimited quantities, spreading over 4 meals, drink plenty of water.

For those who find it difficult to withstand such restrictions, include 1% fat kefir in the diet. It is allowed to drink one liter per day, but porridge is limited to 250 grams in dry form.

Usually the duration of the buckwheat diet is 4-7 days. During this time, it allows you to get rid of 5 to 7 kg. You need to get out of it as long as possible while observing the principles of low-calorie nutrition.

The right menu for 1 week

The optimal safe period for health, spent on the Maggi diet, is considered to be 7 days. During this time, it is realistic to lose weight by 3-5 kg. There are two versions of it: egg and cottage cheese . You need to decide which of these products, repeated from day to day, and sometimes several times a day, is more suitable.

The correct menu of Maggi's curd diet:

  • Monday - one type of fruit in unlimited quantities. It can be pears, apples, kiwi, oranges, apricots;
  • Tuesday - chicken breast;
  • Wednesday - diet bread, hard cheese, tomato;
  • Thursday - any fruit;
  • Friday - cottage cheese, boiled vegetables;
  • Saturday - fruits;
  • Sunday - boiled chicken meat, vegetables, citrus;

It is also allowed to arrange snacks between the main meals of the products present on the menu of this day. But it is very important to eat at the same time. Drinking plenty of water is another condition of the Maggi diet. Proteins in large volume require plentiful drinking to remove their decay products.

Menu for 2 weeks

If there are no complications and there is a desire to continue, you need to use this menu for the 2nd week:

  • Monday - hard cheese, fresh vegetable salad (cucumber, tomato, pepper), orange;
  • Tuesday - cottage cheese, grapefruit;
  • Wednesday - cottage cheese, orange;
  • Thursday - cottage cheese;
  • Friday - cottage cheese, bread;
  • Saturday - fruit salad;
  • Sunday - baked chicken, tomato.

Menu for 3 weeks

For those who are able to continue, the 3rd week menu does not contain strict rules for a specific meal, but only determines the products of each day:

  • 1st day: any fruit in any volume except bananas, grapes, dates, mangoes, figs;
  • 2nd day: any vegetables raw or cooked except potatoes;
  • 3rd day: fruits;
  • 4th day: dietary fish, green vegetables;
  • 5th day: meat, fresh vegetables or salads from them;
  • 6th day: one kind of fruit;
  • 7th day: fruits of one kind.

Menu for 4 weeks

If the 3rd week included a lot of fruits containing carbohydrates, which means it gradually led away from the protein diet, then the 4th, most likely, is an adaptation to the return of the usual habitual diet, but without frills, because whoever endured so many restrictions will not pounce on food with the risk of quickly regaining weight.

The menu for the 4th week is designed for a specific day and you can distribute products between breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks at your discretion. And it looks like this:

  • 1st day: 200g meat, 100g tuna, one loaf, 3 tomatoes and cucumbers, grapefruit;
  • 2nd day: orange (can be 100g of melon), 200g of meat, tomatoes (3 medium fruits), 4 cucumbers;

The diet does not burden the complexity of preparations, but requires scrupulous adherence to the diet, eating at the same time. You can not change food intended for a particular week and day for another.
