First week on the Maggi diet

The Maggi diet is based on the principle of eliminating fats and carbohydrates from the diet. The main emphasis is on the consumption of proteins contained either in eggs or cottage cheese. It includes certain vegetables, fruits, both fresh and frozen, lean fish and meat in unlimited quantities, no sauces, salad dressings, sugar, canned goods, or alcohol.

During the diet, you need to drink a lot of water, there should be three main meals and light snacks between them, the last one - 3 hours before bedtime, you can not replace some products with others, the wording "vegetables" means any of the permitted ones, and "citrus" - grapefruit, orange or pomelo. Dishes are prepared in a dietary way: by boiling, steaming or baking. "Maggi" is designed for a month - the optimal period for achieving good results for weight loss, but the first week is very important, because despite the large list of products, you can not call it full.
