Admit it, you also thought that we would be talking aboutinstant soups? Well, you guessed wrong. This diet has nothing to do with this product at all. They say that the Maggie diet got its name from a girl who tried it and, having lost 20 kilograms, posted a detailed description of the "process" on the Internet. The girl's name is Maggie, or, in a more familiar version for the Russian ear - Maggie. This diet has found many followers and admirers. Why does this method of losing weight seem attractive to them? There are several reasons.

Firstly, this diet is quite light and it does not haveso many contraindications. However, they still exist. One of them is allergic reactions to certain components. For example, the same eggs and citrus fruits, which you will have to “eat” in large quantities, cause allergies quite often. Another problem is a serious strain on the kidneys. Well, those who have low blood pressure should also be careful with this diet. Therefore, before you “sit tightly” on it, it is better to consult a doctor. At least for your own peace of mind.

Second, there is no need for scrupulouscounting each "swallowed" kilocalorie. Ironically, in this diet, their number does not play any role. It is built on a different principle. The menu is designed in such a way that all the ingredients, entering into chemical reactions with each other, simply cause your body to burn the accumulated fat independently and to remove harmful substances.

The third advantage of the Maggie diet is that everythingdishes are quite easy to prepare. Even if you are not a fan of culinary delights and your signature dish is boiled pasta, you will not have to hang around in the kitchen for hours studying a cookbook. Everything is prepared in an elementary way. And another important point - the diet of this diet is well balanced. This means that throughout the entire time your body will receive the necessary substances directly from food. That is, you will not need to take additional vitamin complexes.

Another undeniable advantage is to fast.you won't have to. There is one little trick to this diet. If the exact amount of a particular product is not specified - and there are quite a few such meals - you can consume as much of this ingredient as you like. The results will not be worse. By the way, about the results... After all, this is exactly why we endure all the hardships. So what effect can you expect after going through all the torment?

Of course, everything is very individual and no onewill be able to give you an exact figure. And if he can - don't believe him. After all, everyone's body is different. And their weight too. And, ultimately, the effectiveness of the diet will depend on the characteristics of the body. However, it is still possible to outline some "frameworks". Ardent supporters of the Maggie diet claim that with strict adherence to all the rules, it is easy to lose 10 to 20 kilograms of "live weight". Tempting, isn't it? Well, now it is necessary to talk about some of the features and difficulties of this method. Where would we be without them? The first and, perhaps, the most important problem is that the Maggie diet is one of the few diets in which you cannot deviate from the prepared menu literally one step. As was said, the effect occurs as a result of chemical reactions. And what is needed for a chemical reaction to proceed correctly? Remember your school chemistry course! Both the reagents themselves and their weight must be strictly defined. So it is here. A little aside - and you can forget about the long-awaited results. Therefore, replacing products, or, for example, eating them in the morning instead of in the evening, is strictly prohibited. And one more unpleasant moment - if, for some reason, you stumbled and violated the diet, then you will have to start the "process" from the very beginning. Even if you missed just one meal. Continuing from where you stopped makes no sense - it is better not to even waste your energy. Of course, such strictness, along with a long duration - and the diet is designed for four weeks! - is unlikely to please those who are forced to go to work every day. But what to do ... As you know, beauty requires sacrifice. If desired, you can find a way out of any situation. In extreme cases, you will take boxes and jars with you. What else do you need to know? As with any other diet, you need to drink as much water as possible. Preferably about three liters a day. Moreover, tea or black coffee can be consumed at any time - whenever you want. Of course, sugar should be excluded, but the use of a sugar substitute is quite acceptable. Eggs, unless otherwise written, should always be hard-boiled. Vegetables should be cooked without oil, fat or meat broth. They are simply boiled in water. The Maggie diet allows the use of salt, but in moderation. Of course, it would be good to reduce its use and certainly not oversalt food. Onions, garlic, spices - all this is allowed. Well, and, as always, a little physical activity is recommended. However, you should not overdo it - especially at the end of the course. Focus on how you feel. That's probably all the nuances. Now let's move on to the most important thing - the menu. The course is designed for a full four weeks. Every day - "your own", strictly defined, food.

First week

During these seven days, for breakfast you need to eat one or two hard-boiled chicken eggs and half an orange or grapefruit. The rest of the "meals" are different.

The third and fourth weeks

So, you've already reached half of the Maggie diet.However, it is too early to celebrate victory. The third week is quite difficult. Breakfast, which you probably already got used to, is cancelled. In general, this week there is no strict division into breakfast, lunch and dinner. The specified products should be consumed throughout the day, in any quantities.

• Monday It is not for nothing that they say that this is a "hard day". You can only eat fruits. Any will do, except grapes, mangoes, bananas, figs and dates.
• Tuesday Vegetable day. You can eat any vegetables except potatoes. You can have them raw or boiled. Whatever you like.
• Wednesday Vegetables-fruit. Align what you ate on Monday with what you ate on Tuesday. Prohibitions are still the same.
• Thursday Steamed or boiled fish. Fresh cabbage or green salad. Boiled vegetables. Naturally, the potatoes are still not possible.
• Friday This is where you can "let loose"! Take your pick. Do you want meat, do you want chicken? You can boil it, you can fry it. Boiled vegetables for a side dish. Are you full? Good!
