Hmm, interesting about flour. But I can’t say that this is not true! I have dissatisfaction with my career and income, despite the fact that my scourge is flour and I really love potatoes, but, by the way, I don’t eat them often.
But I don’t like just any sweets. For me it is, of course, a pleasure. This is momentary joy. I think we need to look for other joys in life, so that sweets and cakes are not the only means to lift our spirits, then there will be no dependence on them.
And I personally found some truth in this, especially when it comes to sweets, bread and chocolate. Happy and happy man You shouldn’t be afraid of food, because we are talking about the abuse of certain foods. As for brain activity, not everything is so clear either. To make thinking easier for the brain, a piece of cake is not enough. You need water, a sufficient supply of oxygen, and slow carbohydrates are more suitable for the mind, not chocolates with sweet tea.
How to regulate alcohol consumption? Alcohol is a rich source of calories, and excessive drinking is a direct path to excess weight. The Athonite diet is an excellent regulator of alcohol consumption. In fact, wine in moderation has health benefits, especially for strengthening the heart muscle. Monks drink 175 ml (a standard glass) of red wine three days a week and do not suffer from heart attacks or strokes. If you are used to drinking more than recommended (250 ml of wine per day for women and 300 ml per day for men), especially if you drink almost every day, the Athonite diet will help you get rid of this bad habit.

What nonsense is written. How can fasting days be shifted if these are days on which fasting is observed for the sake of remembering certain events? Monks do not eat meat at all. What yogurt? Vegetables except avocados and potatoes. Why can't avocados and potatoes? Potatoes are the main Lenten dish of the monks. And on Mount Athos they actively eat sea reptiles. There is no mention of them here. In general, fasting and diet cannot be compared. The meaning of fasting is highly spiritual. Don't be ashamed, delete this nonsense. It was written by completely incompetent people. And manipulating inaccurate information and big names to attract readers is ugly!

What are the rules about dry red wine and yoghurts?
Discussion
Even in a no-carbohydrate diet, carbohydrates are present. At least 1g per kg of weight. This is actually very little. With such an amount of carbohydrates, you feel terrible. And after a certain period of time, the body gets used to living without carbohydrates and begins to put everything else, even proteins, into fat. Therefore It’s better to periodically include a little more carbohydrates in your diet in order to “deceive” the body, to let it understand that, in fact, it was not deprived of anything - these are only temporary difficulties. If, in fact, 100 grams of yogurt contain about 15 grams of carbohydrates. If you throughout the day you eat only meat, fish, eggs and other purely protein products, then even 300-400 grams of yogurt (if you count carbohydrates only) will not hurt. But there is also milk fat, and starch and a bunch of all sorts of rubbish (in general yoghurts are not a particularly dietary product). But there are also carbohydrates in kefir, milk, fruits and vegetables. So, in the end, you can go overboard on them too much. I was on a “carbohydrate rotation diet” for a while - very effective, by the way - so here you go on “no-carbohydrate” days (you could just eat 1 g of carbohydrates per kg of weight) I didn’t know what to do at all. It turned out that there are carbohydrates in almost everything! In general, yogurt no longer fit into my diet. And about wine, sir I won’t tell you from a scientific point of view, but as a big fan of this thing (dry red, that is :-) I wouldn’t refuse AT ALL :-).
I won’t say anything about wine, but in yoghurts I looked at the amount of protein and carbohydrates. If without additional additives such as sugar and fruit, then it’s quite tolerable. But I didn’t do a lot of low-carb diets, it was hard, pancreatitis tormented me.

It's complete bullshit (at least as far as separate nutrition is concerned. I haven't read anything else). If those who write this delved deeper into the essence of the issue, then there would be NO examples like bread! Shelton in his books says that this is an artificial product and should be eliminated from the diet. Quite convincing proof of this theory (and not the diet, but the NUTRITION SYSTEM) is the improvement in overall well-being after switching to it.

Persistent redness can last from a month to a year. To speed up this process, it is important to avoid active sun, intense physical activity, and not visit the sauna or bathhouse. It is also worth adjusting your diet and giving up alcohol, hot and spicy foods, and marinades. It is very useful to take Omega-3 during this period. It contains polyunsaturated fatty acids and strengthens the walls of blood vessels. By the way, it is also effective before peeling.

You can read a lot about this diet on the Internet, and there are also plenty of books on sale. Therefore, I will not dwell in detail on permitted and prohibited products. I believe that choosing a diet is a very individual matter, requiring consultation with a doctor and taking into account your lifestyle, income, and working conditions.

What is the secret of the Maggi diet and how does it work?
The diet is based on the biochemical processes that occur in the body when certain foods are consumed. An entire block is dedicated to its essence, published on the main page of our website -
Why does weight come off so quickly/slowly?
See the next 2 points and remember! How more weight, the easier it resets!
Some people lose 1-3 kg already in the first days, because... There are liters of excess water in the body. Then, on average, it takes about 200-500 grams per day. With periodic “stagnation”.
In the 1st week there were good weights, but in the 2nd week the weight jumps - what is this?
The second and third weeks, mainly fruits and vegetables - these products retain water, which causes peculiar surges (today - 300 g, and tomorrow + 500 g and vice versa).
This is how it should be, everything has already been thought out for us, first of all, to prevent dehydration. The overall trend at the end of each week will definitely be positive!
In the fourth week, weight will decrease more steadily.
Why is there weight and is it normal?
Be sure to see the previous paragraph, if you are on the 2nd or 3rd week of the diet, everything is fine.
Everything is individual here and it’s not always about kg! Don't forget about volumes!!! They are also going away, so maybe your waist and hips have already shrunk by a few cm?! “stagnation” in weight is quite normal, sometimes the body needs time to get used to the “new state”.

The menu on different sites differs from each other, what to do and which site is better?
In fact, there are many more Maggi diet menu options on the Internet than it seems :)
However, this is not a reason to panic, because... Almost EVERY option is EFFECTIVE and PROVEN.
The main thing is not to rush from site to site - choose ONE site and ONE menu option and go ahead. Don't worry about efficiency if the site on which the menu is published is trustworthy;)
Vitamins - is it possible or necessary and which ones? + tablets
If during the diet you experience problems with your health and/or you need to take a lot of medications or for a long time, we strongly recommend that you stop the diet and take care of your health.
Tired of eggs! Is it possible to replace them with something?
However, it is better to allow a little relaxation than to break completely. If it is impossible to eat the required amount of eggs, some of them can be replaced with low-fat and unsweetened cottage cheese. It will provide the body with the same amount of protein and will also help strengthen bone tissue. One egg will replace approximately 60 grams of cottage cheese. Such a replacement will make the menu less caloric.
Is it possible to chew gum?
You can, but without sugar, you can also have delicious sucking lollipops “Sula” and “Orbit”.
Can it be steamed, baked, fried, barbecued, etc.?
Yes. Any cooking method that excludes oil and other prohibited ingredients is suitable - boiling, stewing, baking, steaming, microwave, oven, slow cooker, over a fire, even “frying” in a frying pan that allows you to cook without oil.
Can I have a snack and what?
If you feel hungry, at least 2 hours after eating, you can have a snack by eating 1 cucumber, 1 carrot or a little fresh cabbage - your choice, one or the other.
What time should your last meal be?
No later than 3 hours before bedtime.
What to dress salads with?
Suitable for salad dressing: lemon juice, soy sauce (without sugar), apple and wine vinegar, a minimum amount of low-fat kefir or yogurt. However, it is best not to dress salads with anything if you make them in advance - some products manage to release a sufficient amount of juices.
Is it possible to replace meat with chicken when there is a meat dish on the menu?
What kind of cheese can I use and what can I replace it with?
The menu contains low-fat cheese - these are cheeses with a fat content of up to 17%. They are easy to buy in large stores like Auchan, but quite difficult to find in small local shops, in which case you can take any low-fat cottage cheese (1-5%).
Our readers buy:
- Cheese Valio Oltermanni 17%
- Amber cheese 10%
- Cheese "Russian" 17% (yes, there is such a thing :))
- Cottage cheese Karat “Homemade” grained 4%
Can I drink alcohol: champagne, wine or beer?
During the entire diet, you can drink up to 2 glasses of dry red wine (better when meat is on the menu). Everything else is contraindicated, including beer and champagne.

Description and general principles The Maggi diet is another one of the slim group of protein diets. Most often it is called egg, and the name curd-egg also comes across. Both of these varieties are effective and do not require hungry feats from the “testers”. The menu includes much more products than the name suggests - a lot of fruits, vegetables, cottage cheese, eggs and even meat. The diet is designed for three weeks, each subsequent week has a specific diet. During this time, a weight loss of 7 to 20 kg is expected, unless of course you have that amount overweight.
Since the diet is long-term, the body will adapt to the new weight throughout the month, and you will change your eating habits. Therefore, maintaining the weight after its completion will be quite easy. When deciding to follow the Maggi diet, you need to evaluate your body for an allergic reaction. Since there are many allergen products on the menu, it is better to remember right away - are you allergic to eggs or grapefruits? The presence of citrus fruits on the menu can lead to allergies, and acid will accumulate in the mouth and the tongue will tingle.
The first part is considered egg. You will have to eat a monotonous breakfast consisting of eggs and citrus fruits. Good results can only be expected if you avoid fried foods. Of course, there is no need to use such a diet if you weigh 3-5 kilograms excess weight- you can choose something lighter. But if the score extra pounds goes for tens - that is, a chance to say goodbye to excess weight. It is advisable to add moderate physical activity and assume that this mode is designed for a “fighting” character. And let the thought that, in principle, Maggi is a whole balanced system, and therefore not harmful.
Maggi diet - what foods can you eat?
The main products are eggs, additional products are cottage cheese and meat.
Allowed fruits: oranges, plums, melons, watermelons, pineapples, apples, pears, kiwis, pomelo, tangerines, apricots, peaches, grapefruits. Vegetables - beans, carrots, green peas, squash, eggplants.
It is recommended to drink about 2 liters of water; you can drink tea without sugar or milk. Sometimes you can drink a glass of soda water or diet soda. If the feeling of hunger is very tormenting, then add fresh cucumbers, lettuce, carrots to the menu, but always after the main meal. Salt, garlic and seasonings are not excluded. Low-fat cottage cheese can be replaced with low-fat cheese.
Maggi diet - what foods should not be consumed
Prohibited fruits for the Maggi diet: mangoes, dates, grapes, bananas, figs.
You will have to say goodbye to oil and any fats for at least a month. Broths are also prohibited. We refuse sugar and mayonnaise.
The Maggi diet is incompatible with alcoholic beverages. Alcohol, if absorbed under stress, can cause a lot of harm. Those diets that are based on drinking beer or wine require completely different “snacks”. It is even undesirable to drink white wine, which many consider dietary, even if you are firmly convinced that it does not make you fat. We also throw cigarettes into the far corner - during a diet, blood circulation accelerates and chemical processes change. Additional diseases can accelerate premature aging of the body.
Maggi diet - menu examples
Let's look at the characteristic nutritional features at each stage (4 weeks - 4 stages).
The first week is vegetables, boiled meat and fish. And breakfast is always the same - a boiled egg and grapefruit. The first days are almost fasting days. For dinner it’s still boiled meat, and nothing else.
On the second day, more vegetables and fruits are included. Next, add cheese. Of course, we are not talking about any pieces of zhleb, much less buns, cakes and other goodies. On Sunday - only boiled meat.
Second week. Breakfast is the same. The second breakfast is quite modest - boiled meat and a portion of salad without oil. Egg lunch - 2 hard boiled ones. On Thursday and Tuesday, dinner is “given to the enemy” - that is, you cannot eat anything, you will have to limit yourself to lunch. On other days - a salad of vegetables or fruits. For the second week, breakfast is preserved. On Saturday you can add some prunes.
The third week is a very poor menu, consisting of fruits and vegetables, plus boiled meat. The first three days - low-calorie vegetables, potatoes are completely excluded. Boil the chicken, but there are only pieces without fat and skins; white meat without cartilage and soft parts of the bones is good. Steam treatment is encouraged to preserve maximum nutrients.
The fourth stage is characterized by minimal use of eggs. All that's left is a light dinner, light menu, harmonious selection of vegetables. Boiled vegetables will be combined with raw ones, and this is all in one meal. To finish your diet, stock up on oranges and a good mood - after all, you are a hero. The willpower of a person who has gone through to the very end is worthy of respect.
Not everyone will accept the Maggi diet. Many people simply cannot eat that many eggs, even eating them with a lot of vegetables and meat. Often women replace eggs with cottage cheese, which contains approximately the same amount of protein. The Maggi cottage cheese diet is absorbed much better, bones are strengthened, and cholesterol is lowered. You need to eat very little of it - no more in volume than an egg. Makes about 2 large spoons. But this diet can also repel people who have problems with stomach acidity. To get results, it is enough to endure 2 weeks of a fruit and curd diet. You can replace just one ingredient in the menu, and therefore the menu will be less filling than the egg one.

Day No. 1
Is alcohol allowed on the Maggi diet?
As has been said many times, the Maggi diet is designed to stimulate chemical reactions in the body that promote fat burning. Alcohol contains alcohol, which changes these reactions, so drinking alcohol while on this diet is strictly prohibited.
For people who are unable to abstain from alcohol, other diets with a different diet have been developed. Smoking, by the way, is also not encouraged; it speeds up blood circulation, as a result of which chemical reactions also change.
Remember that the Maggi diet and alcohol do not mix with each other. Your body is cleansed during such a diet, so you should not overload the liver, heart and other internal organs.
It's no secret that drinking increases your appetite. As a result, all your efforts will be nullified. That is why think twice when reaching out for your favorite alcoholic drink.
Alcohol blocks natural chemical processes occurring in the human body. This leads to the fact that fats will not disappear as quickly as you would like.
If you cannot do without alcohol, pay attention to other weight loss systems. They differ in that you can drink alcohol even during certain dietary restrictions.

Curd
The curd version of the Maggi diet involves the complete or partial replacement of eggs with cottage cheese. This option is suitable for those who are allergic to eggs, or those who simply do not like them. The calculation is made as follows: 1 egg is equal to 100 g of cottage cheese.
Along with the egg version, there is also a Maggi cottage cheese diet. Its only difference from the egg diet is that eggs are replaced with cottage cheese.
One egg is equal to one hundred grams of cottage cheese. This version of the Maggi diet is more “hungry”, since cottage cheese cannot give the same feeling of fullness as eggs rich in microelements, minerals and vitamins.
For people who, for some reason, do not want or cannot eat large quantities of eggs, the curd diet will be the ideal solution.
This diet option is practically no different from egg menu. However, it is recommended to replace eggs with cottage cheese with a minimum percentage of fat content.
