Maggi diet for 3 weeks
Medical expert of the article
Last reviewed: 04.07.2025

Eating the products indicated in the Maggi diet, you can lose an average of 10 kg per course. The authors convince that for weight loss, not only the quantity but also the quality of food and the chemical interaction of the components entering the body are important. Maggi takes these nuances into account, so the result is pleasing.
- In addition to the set of products, the methodology provides clear rules and principles that cannot be deviated from.
But there is also good news: the person losing weight is offered to choose the duration independently: the Maggie diet for 3 weeks, 2 weeks or 1 week. Another choice concerns the main product: eggs or cottage cheese? - that is the question. Which makes the method accessible to almost everyone, because it is unlikely that people are massively intolerant to both products. The rest remains unchanged, regardless of the option and the number of diet days.
Diet food is prepared from a large assortment of permitted products, using dietary methods, i.e. boiling, stewing, baking, grilling. A distinctive feature is the repeated breakfasts throughout all weeks.
The 3-week version is based on the 2-week version, with the second week being repeated. As in the classic diet, egg and cottage cheese options are possible.
Curd version
Among the advantages of the curd version is a high percentage of proteins and the complete absence of fatty yolk, an integral part of eggs. In terms of calories, the egg visually equals more curd, due to which the psychological comfort for those on a diet increases somewhat.
Homemade cheese additionally enriches the body with calcium, which maintains healthy hair, nails, teeth, and skin. Another advantage is its delicate, pleasantly sour taste, which fans find amazing and unique.
- The feeling of satiety lasts for several hours, which helps the person losing weight to avoid depressing thoughts about hearty non-dietary food.
For the Maggi diet, a product with a fat content of 1-5% is used. It goes without saying that cottage cheese, or cream cheese, as it is also called, must be fresh. Since it belongs to the category of perishables, its freshness is preserved for no more than 4 days.
The auxiliary products of the diet are quite varied, which gives scope for culinary imagination. Although you can get by with modest dishes prepared according to the diet recommendations. Meat and fish, assorted vegetables (but not potatoes), permitted fruits, unsweetened drinks and natural spices, sometimes bread allow you not to go hungry and maintain a cheerful mood.
Egg variant
When choosing the egg option, you should make sure that you are not allergic to protein substances. Otherwise, an abundance of eggs will lead to side effects and premature termination of the Maggi diet.
The remaining products are divided into prohibited and permitted. Sugar, mayonnaise, liquid and solid fats, sweet fruits, alcohol are not included in the diet. Vegetables, lean meats and fish, fruits are used to make up weekly menus for as many days as you wish to follow the diet.
- The procedure is made easier by the fact that tables with ready-made diets are available on the Internet. It is enough to find and follow all the recommendations and rules. It is not advisable to make your own adjustments, so as not to harm. This is the case when creativity is inappropriate.
There is more than one version of the dietary egg menu, but in any of the sample menus, each day of the first week begins with two eggs and grapefruit. Lunch and dinner are more varied and include, in addition to eggs, a full range of plant and animal products.
Most use 2- or 4-week diets. Those who lose weight in 3 weeks, then after the second one, repeat the first one again. During the entire period, you should remember to drink plenty of fluids.
- For those who are sure that they cannot drink without a strong thirst, I advise you to try drinking a few sips regardless of the beginning of the diet. Gradually, not just a drinking habit is developed, but a desire to start every morning with a portion of clean water.
To begin with, let it be a few sips, then half a cup, then there will definitely be a need to drink the specified amount of liquid during the day. It has been tested that, among other things, in such an easy way you can painlessly remove fine sand from the kidneys.
Long-term diets are useful because they help develop the same healthy eating habit: eating the most healthy foods and properly prepared meals. It helps to lose weight significantly and maintain your shape after the diet is over.
