The Maggi diet is a protein nutrition system lasting from 2 to 4 weeks, with the help of which you can lose up to 20 kg of excess weight as painlessly as possible without counting calories or feeling hungry.

The history of the appearance of this technique goes back to 1979 and is associated with the famous British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Until recently, recipes for dishes and the principle of the Maggi diet were kept secret, and only after the death of the Baroness, the low-carb weight loss system saw the world.

According to research, in the process of analyzing the archive of the “Iron Lady,” historians discovered a sheet of paper that described in detail the dietary regimen developed by the Mayo Clinic (USA). As a result, the published technique was named after the most influential woman of the 20th century - Margaret Thatcher, whose name was shortened beyond recognition to 4 letters.

The original Maggi diet is designed for 14 days, while all other modifications are derivatives of the prototype, improved by modern scientists.

The principle of the technique is based on chemical reactions occurring in the body, which contribute to the gradual burning of fat and weight loss. Unlike most techniques, it is not based on limiting the number of calories consumed per day, such as, for example. That is why people often call the “Iron Lady” protein weight loss method the Maggi chemical diet.

Benefits and harms

In pursuit of a slim body, the number of people losing weight increases rapidly every year. As a result, the number of diets that promote effective weight loss is increasing.

Currently, all weight loss methods can be divided into protein (, Maggi, Atkins,) and vegetable (rice, oatmeal, juice, fruit, vegetable).

Humanity has not yet invented an ideal system for shedding extra pounds, which is why each of them has advantages and disadvantages, and also has beneficial and harmful effects on the functioning of human internal organs.

The principle of the Maggi diet is based on a sharp reduction in the amount of fats and carbohydrates entering the body, due to the predominance of animal protein in the diet. Numerous reviews from those who have lost weight indicate the benefits of a protein nutrition system, which helps maintain muscle mass, satisfying hunger, and also prevents sagging skin.

Previously, it was believed that eating 2 or more eggs daily was unsafe because they increased cholesterol levels, but today it has been proven that the negative effects of the product are neutralized by oil and fats. That is why people with heart and vascular diseases are recommended to take them simultaneously.

Despite the benefits of a protein diet, reviews from doctors say the opposite: a diet oversaturated with proteins only harms the functioning of internal organs, in particular the kidneys. In addition, digestive enzymes are needed to digest protein, which are produced in limited quantities in the body; as a result, an excess of “unprocessed” product rots in the intestines, which causes constipation, diarrhea, bloating, fermentation and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.

The Maggi diet differs from most mono-diets in the following respects:

After completing a full four-week weight loss course, you can repeat the Maggi method no earlier than after 12 months. Otherwise, the “second round” of the protein cycle will put a tremendous strain on the body, namely, on the work of the heart and kidneys.

Depending on the main ingredient, Margaret Thatcher's diet is:

• egg;
• curd, cheese.

The classic Maggi egg diet is based on the consumption significant amount eggs per day, which are the main source of protein. This product is a storehouse of important amino acids and trace elements. Namely, iodine, niacin, selenium, iron and phosphorus, which are vital for the occurrence of chemical processes in the body and the normal functioning of internal organs.

Regular consumption of eggs prevents the development of anemia and anemia, increases immunity, improves memory, stimulates brain function and enhances attention.

Taking into account the feedback from nutritionists, in order to get quick results and replenish calcium deficiency, it is recommended to use Magga as the main ingredient of the diet with a fat content in the range of 3-5%. Fermented milk product is the main source of methionine and tryptophan, which take an active part in the functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. As well as calcium, phosphorus, iron - for the full development of bones, teeth, coordinated work of the heart muscle, and normalization of hemoglobin levels.

The Maggi cottage cheese diet leads to increased breakdown of fats, accelerates the elimination of toxins, and improves skin condition.

If desired, instead of eggs and cottage cheese, you can use low-fat cheese (up to 25%). This product has a positive effect on blood pressure, promotes the active removal of waste products from the kidneys, improves intestinal microflora, strengthens bones, and slows down the process of carbohydrate absorption.

The Maggi cheese diet allows the consumption of any low-fat varieties of lactic acid products (including cheese 9%, feta light up to 13%, tofu 1.5%, ricotta 8%, gaudette 7%, mozzarella 17%, brie 23%, Adyghe 14%). The optimal fat content in the product is 9%.

TO positive aspects protein diets include:

• lack of feeling of hunger, which makes the process of losing weight easy and painless;
• there are no restrictions on the amount of product consumed;
• ease of cooking;
• no need for daily calorie counting;
• balanced diet;
• noticeable reduction in volumes;
• high efficiency;
• long-term preservation of the results obtained (from 1.5 years).

However, the egg and curd methods have negative reviews. The need to strictly adhere to the menu and nutritional schedule significantly reduces the number of people who can withstand full course losing weight, because in case of failure, unlike the Dukan scheme, continuing the Maggi diet is not advisable. To get the desired result, the process of losing excess pounds will have to start all over again.

Often among those losing weight on days 18-20 the question arises: “Why doesn’t the weight come off?” The reason for this “trouble” is that the body gets used to the protein diet and the intensive reduction in volume.

Taking into account the feedback from nutritionists, when choosing a diet, it is important to remember that not a single weight loss method should have a negative impact on human health.

That is why, before practicing Margaret Thatcher’s diet, it is necessary to take into account the following contraindications:

• diseases of the digestive system, as well as the heart and kidneys;
• pregnancy;
• allergies to eggs, cottage cheese, cheese, citrus fruits;
• breastfeeding period;
• high cholesterol levels that exceed the norm.

In the absence of the above risk factors, you can practice the Maggi diet without fear. However, before you start losing weight, you should consult your doctor.

In the classic version, Margaret Thatcher's original diet lasts 14 days. Due to the predominance of eggs in the diet, this weight loss method is often called “egg”, despite the fact that the menu includes fruits, vegetables, cottage cheese and meat. The daily intake of protein and citrus products compensates for the lack of vitamins and vitamins, which occurs as a result of the predominance of protein foods.

Instructions for proper weight loss using Maggi technology

1. Drink 2 liters of water daily.
2. Exclude rich meat broths, oils, sugar, mayonnaise, ketchup, sauces, and confectionery from the menu.
3. It is prohibited to make adjustments to the menu, namely, swapping dishes or increasing portions.
4. The diet cannot be interrupted. If the weight loss rules are violated, the entire procedure should be repeated from the beginning.
5. Fasting is strictly prohibited. During the day you should eat everything that is indicated on the menu.
6. Walk in the fresh air for at least an hour every day, this helps to activate your metabolism.
7. Get enough sleep (at least 8 hours of healthy sleep per day). Failure to comply with this condition is fraught with increased appetite.
8. You can take green tea without sugar in any quantity throughout the entire weight loss period.
9. Weigh yourself daily upon waking. Firstly, this will allow you to track the dynamics of changes in body weight, and secondly, it will be an excellent incentive to continue.
10. Vegetables must be cooked in plain water without salt, spices, or flavor enhancers. At the same time, it is allowed to use garlic, onions, and peppers during the cooking process.
11. Cucumber, carrots, and salad will help dull the acute feeling of hunger. However, they can only be consumed after the recommended meal, after 2 hours.
12. If the menu does not mention the permissible amount of a product consumed, you can eat it without restrictions, until you feel full.

If it is necessary to increase the duration of the protein diet, it is not advisable to repeat all stages of the method again. It is enough to limit yourself to spending 14 days on the nutrition system of the first week and 14 days on the fourth (the so-called 1 4 1 4 scheme).

At the same time, the Maggi diet for two weeks allows for a full cycle of repetition of the technique.

Regardless of the type of diet (egg, cottage cheese or cheese), the weight loss results will be the same.

The first week is protein-rich, it is well tolerated and has large weights. On average, weight loss during this period is 0.8-2 kg per day and will reach a total of 5-7 kg. At the same time, body weight loss occurs due to care excess water from the body.

During the second week, fat begins to burn, which is why the weight per day will be no more than 0.3 kg.

After 14 days of the diet, the weight will come off even more slowly, but the volume will rapidly decrease and the skin will tighten.

Due to the fact that the Maggi protein diet helps to reduce the volume of the stomach, hunger is practically not felt during the entire period of weight loss. That is why “egg” and “curd” diets are in great demand among many women.

In the middle of the diet (on the 15th day), the question often arises among those losing weight: “why the weight is not coming off.” The reason for this phenomenon is the body’s adaptation to a new body weight and nutritional system. In addition, the rate of weight loss is directly influenced by biorhythms, intestinal condition, physiological fluid retention, as well as the MC phase. Stabilization of weight at a certain point should not be the reason for the end of the weight loss process, since after a few days the process of losing kilograms will resume.

The effectiveness of the protein weight loss method directly depends on the strict adherence to its rules.

If one of the conditions is violated, for example, when replacing one product with another or rearranging lunch and dinner dishes, it will not bring the desired result.

The Maggi egg diet for 2 weeks provides 3 meals a day. Dinner should be no later than 18-00. During the day, you need to drink purified still water without restrictions, and also avoid all kinds of snacks in between meals.

Let's take a closer look at the menu for each day.

Every day you need to eat 1 piece for breakfast, boiled eggs– 2 pieces and drink a cup of coffee.

Day No. 1

• lunch – herbal tea, 2 boiled eggs, tomato;
• dinner – grapefruit – 1 pc., green tea, 2 boiled eggs, vinaigrette without oil.

Day No. 2

• lunch – grapefruit – 1 piece, 2 boiled eggs;
• dinner - salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, baked lean meat (chicken or turkey).

Day No. 3

• lunch – spinach, herbal tea, 2 boiled eggs;
• dinner - cabbage, beets, green tea, 2 boiled eggs, cottage cheese.

Day No. 4

• lunch – spinach, coffee, 2 boiled eggs;
• dinner - coffee, vinaigrette, low-fat fish (hake, pollock) - 150g.

Day No. 5

• lunch – 2 boiled eggs, herbal tea, spinach;
• dinner - cauliflower, coffee, fish, vinaigrette.

Day No. 6

• dinner - coffee, steak, vegetable mix of cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, onions.

Day No. 7

• lunch – boiled chicken fillet (chilled), tomato, grapefruit;
• dinner - carrot, cabbage, tomato salad, baked turkey, coffee.

The two-week Maggi diet is based on the diet of the first week, which should be repeated 2 times in a row for 14 days.

Summarizing the reviews and results of those who have lost weight, we can say with confidence that Margaret Thatcher’s method in the classic version allows you to become 10-12 kg lighter.

The Maggi protein diet for 4 weeks has the same requirements as the fourteen-day diet. However, due to the increased duration, it is much more effective and allows you to lose up to 20 kg of excess weight.

Let's consider the most common type of technique - the Maggi egg diet. In case of intolerance or allergy to the main ingredient, it can be replaced with cheese up to 25% (the lower the percentage, the better) or granular cottage cheese 3-5% (one serving - 200g).

Despite the strict adherence to the diet, the protein-citrus method ensures the preservation of muscle mass and provokes accelerated combustion fat, but does not cause hunger.

Margaret Thatcher's cottage cheese version of weight loss contains the same amount of protein as the egg diet, but this modification of the Maggi diet is healthier, since the fermented milk product is easier to digest, lowers cholesterol levels and strengthens bones. However, the main contraindication to its use is hypersecretion of gastric juice. Frequent intake of a lactic acid product contributes to the exacerbation of gastritis, which can lead to aggravation of the well-being of a person losing weight and the occurrence of erosions (ulcers) on the mucous membrane of the organ.

The Maggi diet for 28 days is divided into four weeks (“the beginning of the journey”, “addiction mode”, “methodology as a way of life”, “evaluation of results”), each of which has a strictly developed diet.

Let's look at the detailed menu for each period, which for convenience it is recommended to print and hang in the kitchen.

At the same time, upon completion, as a rule, those losing weight begin to experience a feeling of rapid filling of the stomach.

Thus, the Maggi egg diet for 4 weeks is a low-carbohydrate complex, with an emphasis on protein-citrus nutrition. Each stage (7 days) has a strictly selected diet, which must be followed impeccably with the utmost precision. Spontaneous changes in foods, disruption of diet, changing lunch and dinner, increasing acceptable portions are the most common reasons for poor weight loss, and sometimes weight gain, after 28 days.

Exiting the Maggi diet should be gradual. To avoid putting a lot of stress on the body, the number of calories consumed per day must be increased slowly so that it “remembers” the new nutrition system in detail. It is strictly forbidden to overeat.

Due to the fact that the basis of the menu for 4 weeks is protein products, vegetables, fruits, the Maggi diet promotes the adaptation of the gastrointestinal tract to the systematic consumption of plant foods, which cleanses the intestines, restores its microflora and acts as a source of nutrients.

When losing 15 kg or more, you should take the most responsible approach to consolidating the result. Nutrition after a diet should be balanced, low-calorie and easily digestible. That is why, in order to eliminate the possibility of regaining lost kilograms, it is important to limit the intake of confectionery, carbonated, alcoholic drinks, fatty, fried, spicy foods, both on the first day after the end of the weight loss cycle, and throughout the subsequent period (during life).

Why does weight come off so quickly/slowly?

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?

Tired of eggs! Is it possible to replace them with something?

Maggi Diet, contrary to the name, has nothing to do with the bouillon cubes of the same name. Allows you to noticeably lose weight using a varied diet.

Features of the Maggi diet

Requirements for the choice of products, the time of each meal and methods of preparation will have to be strictly observed for 28 days. In this case, a significant loss of body weight will occur. For example, obese people, whose “overweight” exceeds 20 kg, become 10-15 kg lighter.

Such impressive results are explained by the optimal combination of products. The Maggi diet menu is rich in protein-containing components and sources of coarse fiber. The ingredients for each meal are selected so that their interaction in the digestive tract promotes the breakdown of fats and the removal of toxins. Therefore, you cannot replace foods and eat at random times.

The essence of the Maggi diet is complete absence amateur activities (if the diet requires you to eat cheese and tomato for lunch, then this should be done, and at a strictly defined hour).

The Maggi diet helps get rid of the main bad habits in nutrition (add sugar to drinks, stretch the stomach with large portions, eat fatty and sweet foods), and in return get healthy ones - eat breakfast regularly, drink a lot of water, eat vegetables and fruits, eat only “good” fats.

Pros of the Maggi diet

• Varied menu.
• Weight decreases quickly (in 3-4 days) and without a debilitating feeling of hunger.
• Lasting results (subject to following the recommendations for leaving the Maggi diet);
• Affordable and simple products.
• There is no need to eat bland food as salt and seasonings are allowed.
• There is no need to count calories or weigh portions.
• There is no need to take additional vitamin and mineral complexes.

Disadvantages of the Maggi Diet

• Requires strict adherence to the prescribed diet for all 28 days.
• It is difficult to combine diet with work.
• The Maggi diet is based on some of the most allergenic foods - eggs and citrus fruits.
• Accompanied by various stomach disorders (diarrhea, constipation, flatulence).
• Limiting carbohydrate intake slows down metabolism.

Contraindications for the Maggi diet

• Kidney failure;
• Pregnancy and lactation;
• Allergy to the main components of the Maggi diet;
• The egg option is not recommended for high cholesterol.

Maggi diet rules

It is prohibited to rearrange or exchange for similar products stated on the menu (with the exception of oranges and grapefruits). In case of any “failure” you will have to return to the starting position

We need to decide on the main product. Throughout the month you will have to eat either cottage cheese or eggs. You cannot alternate them.

Coffee and tea without sugar can be drunk at any time, and these drinks can be sweetened with sweeteners.

Drink as much clean water as possible (about 3 liters).

Prepared without fat, oil or meat broth.

If the menu does not indicate a specific number of vegetables or fruits, then they are consumed until completely sated.

Any method is suitable for cooking meat (boiling, stewing, over charcoal, baking in the oven, in a dry frying pan, steaming), but without the use of fat and oil.

Losing weight and alcohol are incompatible concepts - the body is rebuilt and cleansed during this period. Increased appetite and additional stress on the liver will harm the weight loss process.

Physical activity (especially power training) promote weight loss and counteract slow metabolism.

You can use the technique no more than 2 times a year.

Allowed Maggi Diet Products

The basis of the diet is eggs. For those who cannot tolerate this product, there is a cottage cheese option.

The next most important are boiled vegetables (beets, carrots, zucchini, eggplant, cauliflower, etc.). Fresh ones are also welcome - any greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, lettuce, raw carrots.

The “mandatory program” of nutrition includes fresh fruits - citrus fruits, apples, peaches, apricots, pears, kiwi, as well as melons and watermelons.

Among animal products, the priority is poultry, veal, lean pork, and fish. Dairy products are low fat.

Dishes can be salted, peppered, and any natural seasonings can be added.

It is forbidden to eat fresh bread, baked goods, mayonnaise, honey, potato dishes, high-calorie fruits (dates, grapes, figs, avocado, mango).

Snacks on the Maggi diet

The weight loss system is designed for 3 meals a day, so the inclusion of additional products is not encouraged. If the feeling of hunger becomes unbearable and threatens to break down, then you can use a snack. Eat one of the fresh low-calorie vegetables - cucumber, a few lettuce or cabbage leaves, carrots. It is not recommended to snack on fruit. It is important to observe the interval: at least 2 hours after the main meal.

Exit from the Maggi diet

The body has time to get used to receiving food in small portions. You cannot immediately overload it with a large number of products. For the first couple of weeks, do not add fatty and sweet foods, synthetic seasonings and alcohol to your diet. Otherwise, a sudden disruption will occur in the metabolic system, which has adapted to the intake of large amounts of fiber and has become weaned from “bad” fats and carbohydrates. For a smooth exit, separate meals are suitable with the obligatory division of the diet into 5-6 parts.

For 4 decades now, the Maggi protein diet has been in the TOP of the best weight loss systems, presented in two versions - egg (classic) and curd. Websites and scientific treatises are dedicated to it; on the Internet you can find a lot of reviews from those who tried to lose weight using this technique. Some praise her, others criticize her, and this applies not only to ordinary people, but also to nutritionists.

On the one hand, there is a lot of information about it, on the other hand, there are too many conflicting questions, the answers to which need to be found even before you decide to lose weight in this way. In any case, until you try it yourself, doubts about its effectiveness will never be resolved. Therefore, we understand the nuances - and get rid of extra pounds with the help of eggs and cottage cheese!

Basic principles

The basic principles of the Maggi diet are its foundation, which precisely helps to get rid of excess weight. If you modify them, it will be a different weight loss system. They need to be learned in order to ultimately achieve the desired results.

1. This .
2. The carbohydrate content in products is minimal.
3. The main product is eggs or low-fat cottage cheese (depending on the option chosen).
4. Additional product - grapefruit.
5. The duration of the Maggi diet is either 2 or 4 weeks.
6. The first 2 weeks of the hunger strike - strict adherence to the nutrition schedule. The second 2 weeks - free flight, an arbitrary number of servings, any convenient time for eating... BUT! A very meager diet, a strict restriction on the menu according to the list of products.

It is unknown who developed this weight loss system, but this is correct weight loss from the point of view of physiology and medicine. An unusual tandem of protein products with citrus fruits gives an incredible effect in the fight against extra pounds. And all this is scientifically explainable.

History of creation. The name of the diet was given by the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, well known to everyone The Iron Lady Margaret (Muggy for short) Thatcher. The nutrition system, which included 2 eggs with grapefruit for breakfast, was found in her old diary from 1979. Since then she has gained such popularity.

How does weight loss happen?

The Maggi diet, depending on the chosen option (or), restructures the body’s functioning to new way. Moreover, this happens gradually, over 2 or 4 weeks.

The result is long-awaited weight loss. And if you understand how this is achieved, you will be able to control the entire process from start to finish, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the fight against excess weight.

Here's how the functioning of your organs will change:

• metabolism will speed up;
• carbohydrates and fats will begin to be intensively burned;
• fatty acids will be decomposed;
• proteins, thanks to biotin (a component of the yolk), will be completely absorbed;
• the egg will give you a feeling of fullness that will last long enough so that you will not suffer from hunger;
• a grapefruit eaten for breakfast along with an egg will prolong it, so that until lunch you will not be drawn to refrigerators and fast foods;
• the body will spend a lot of energy digesting eggs (it lasts about 4 hours);
• By eating an additional 1 orange daily, you can increase the number of kilograms you lose.

Other processes that will be affected by the egg-curd diet will be a pleasant bonus:

• calcium will improve the condition of skin, hair, teeth, bones;
• there will be no fatigue and irritation syndrome, since calcium is a source of energy;
• muscle mass, despite losing weight, will remain, so that your body will acquire not only harmony, but also beautiful, prominent outlines;
• the nervous system will work as before and even better, thanks to the same calcium: irritation, bad mood and depression will not bother you.

Over the course of 4 weeks, you will feel how your body is transforming from the inside, and you will be able to observe the results in the mirror.

• 1 Week

The most difficult and stressful for the body, which will have to seriously adapt due to the new diet. You may experience slight dizziness and nausea during the day, which should go away after a glass of clean, cool water.

• 2 week

More calm, since the internal systems of the body are already accustomed to working in a new mode. Here the protein attack is intensified and even more eggs and cottage cheese are introduced into the diet. There may be problems with stool, which can be solved by drinking herbal laxative drinks.

• 3 week

Humbling and encouraging at the same time. The body submits new system fasting, does not respond to it side effects, and for this you cancel your strict eating schedule and delight your hungry stomach with food at any time convenient for you. The week will be difficult not so much for the body as for the person losing weight, since it is at this stage that you want to give up everything and go back to your usual way of life. But the results already visible on the scales force many to go to the bitter end.

• 4 week

Everything should be in harmony. Those losing weight are satisfied with the results and expect the end of the hunger strike. The body works without interruption.

The Maggi protein diet has been studied thoroughly by specialists, all its variants have been studied, so there can be no doubt about its effectiveness. If all its principles and rules are strictly followed, there will be no failures, and at the finish line you can be truly proud of yourself.

Keep in mind. To lose weight on the Maggi diet, it is useless to use eggs that are more than a week old, since the amino acids from them disappear after this period.

Efficiency and results

When deciding on any diet, a woman should see the end result she is striving for. The specific figure promised by nutritionists and other beauties who have lost weight in this way is an excellent incentive that forces you to go to the bitter end, no matter how difficult the path may be.

If this is a real Maggi diet (curd or egg, and not other pseudo-options with the addition of shrimp, vinegar and other strange products), then the results can be the most promising:

• 1 week - loss of 2-3 kg;
• 2 week - 3-5 kg ​​are lost;
• 3 week - up to 8 kg;
• The Maggi diet for 4 weeks can give a result of 10-12 kg.

There is something to strive for! And if the weight does not go away, contrary to this schedule, although you follow all the rules and diet, the problem may lie in a more serious reason for excess weight.

This may be heredity, a malfunction in the hormonal system, or a metabolic disorder. In these cases, you need to contact doctors who will first put your health in order, and only then you will resume the fight against excess weight.

Impressive! Adrien Brody (Hollywood actor) used the Maggi diet (egg version) and lost 14 kg to play in the film “The Pianist”. This role became an Oscar-winning role for him.

List of contraindications

In general, it is better to contact doctors before starting an egg or cottage cheese fast. A feature of the Maggi diet is the consumption of protein foods for too long. This can seriously change the functioning of some internal organs, and if they initially functioned incorrectly, sad consequences will not be long in coming.

Most often this is an exacerbation of chronic diseases and all kinds of stomach problems. What are the contraindications for the Maggi diet?

• Food allergies to basic foods (eggs, citrus fruits, cottage cheese).
• Pressure surges in any direction (i.e., both hypertension and hypotension).
• During pregnancy, the Maggi diet is prohibited, as well as during breastfeeding, since it is narrowly focused: if there is an excess of protein in the body, there will be a lack of carbohydrates and fats, while all three components of a balanced diet are important for the formation of the fetus and the development of the baby in the first year of life.
• Gastrointestinal pathologies (especially the Maggi diet is harmful for constipation, since protein foods contribute to it).
• Problems with the heart and blood vessels.
• Liver and kidney diseases.

So it's better to play it safe once again and undergo examination a week before starting fasting on the Maggi diet. This will allow you to objectively assess the state of your own health and its readiness for such long-term and serious stress. But you will definitely know that there are no contraindications, which will have a positive effect on the final result of a 2- or 4-week trial.

Be careful! If during the Maggi diet you begin to burp rotten eggs more often or have an unpleasant taste in your mouth, you should stop and find another way to lose weight.

Compliance Rules

Despite the fact that the Maggi diet involves increasing protein in the diet and reducing carbohydrates, it reflects proper nutrition and is based on its principles.

You can see this for yourself by studying the rules of its observance:

1. Daily water consumption is 2 liters.
2. Limiting salt.
3. Any snacks in the first 2 weeks are prohibited.
4. Daily stay in the fresh air for half an hour or more.
5. Walking for at least an hour is also an option.
6. Do not achieve a feeling of satiety. This is especially dangerous in the third week, when you are allowed to eat as much as you want. It is better to finish each meal with a feeling of slight (!) hunger.
7. Dinner should be 3-4 hours before going to bed.
8. The first week of the Maggi diet is considered the most difficult: if you feel unwell, it is better to stop the hunger strike.
9. Any sports activities are required.
10. The intake of any medications should be limited to a minimum.
11. Provide the body with a gradual exit from the Maggi diet: carbohydrates and fats after 4 weeks of protein fasting should be included in the diet in small portions.

If you have no contraindications for health reasons, and you are satisfied with the basic rules of following the Maggi diet, print out the lists of allowed and prohibited foods along with an indicative menu - and lose weight for your health!

Helpful advice. For the Maggi diet, try to buy small eggs: they contain much more useful substances, which gradually evaporate from large eggs, because there are a lot of microcracks in their shells.

Products

When choosing the Maggi diet as a way to lose weight, you need to understand that for a whole month you will have to eat mainly the same foods. Yes, this is not a mono-diet, and menu diversity is often mentioned among its advantages. In fact, the diet is repeated day after day, and only in your power to make it more saturated by choosing new dietary dishes each time.

But to do this, you will have to rely on the following table, which details permitted and prohibited products.

Everything sweet and floury, as well as any cereals (buckwheat and rice, including) are prohibited as part of the Maggi diet. Allowed fruits deserve special attention: for the cottage cheese version, they are useful for adding to the cottage cheese in the morning, but for the egg menu, grapefruit is required for breakfast, and orange during the day.

All dishes must be properly cooked: you can lose weight only if they are steamed, boiled, stewed or baked in the oven.

Starting from the 4th week of the hunger strike, it is allowed to lightly fry the meat subject to the following conditions:

• no oil;
• in a non-stick frying pan or grill;
• no more than once every 3 days;
• in small quantities.

Despite such strict restrictions, this will allow you to diversify your diet and create a fairly rich menu for every day that will not become torture for you.

Don't make things up! Some women who dream of losing weight, wanting to get the most out of the Maggi diet, use quail eggs, which are considered healthier than chicken eggs. But not in losing weight. After all, they do not contain lutein and so many essential amino acids involved in metabolism.

Sample menu

It is very difficult to independently create a menu within the Maggi diet for each day of the 4 upcoming weeks. Therefore, it will be easier and more correct to use ready-made ones.

Of course, they are estimates only and are subject to variations and adjustments based on your circumstances and individual preferences. For example, someone doesn’t like tomatoes, but can replace them with cucumbers. Others may be allergic to shrimp, but you can always eat any fish instead.

Therefore, determine the duration of the diet (2 or 4 weeks), the option (egg or cottage cheese) - and select a menu that suits you to the maximum. Usually they are very conveniently and compactly placed in a table by day of the week.

For 4 weeks

The menu table below for 4 weeks is convenient for use at any stage of the Maggi diet. This is an egg version, considered classic, but you can always transform it into cottage cheese by replacing 1 egg with 100 grams of cottage cheese. Otherwise, these diets are no different.

This is the correct Maggi diet for 4 weeks, indicating full list products for every day. You can prepare any dietary dishes from them if their ingredients allow you to fit within these limits. Your hands will be especially free for 4 weeks, when the diet expands significantly, thanks to which you can create good recipes from permitted products.

The menu of this weight loss system for 2 weeks is much stricter and more difficult.

For 2 week

If you choose a shortened version of the Maggi diet, when you need to lose weight faster than in a month, this will help you sample menu for 2 weeks, which is also conveniently presented in the table. The classic version with eggs can be easily turned into cottage cheese by replacing 1 egg with 100 grams of cottage cheese.

If you need a more precise Maggi diet menu indicating portions in grams, you can contact a nutritionist, since a lot depends on the initial weight from which you begin to lose weight. For the 3rd and 4th weeks of such a fast, these indicators are generally unimportant, since permitted foods can be consumed in any quantity. As for the first and second weeks, focus on the following numbers:

• breakfast: 2 eggs / 200 g of cottage cheese;
• lunch: 350 g - the total volume of all foods eaten;
• dinner: 300 gr - total weight for all recommended dishes.

Do not forget to add a cup of coffee to your main diet in the morning, and in the afternoon - green tea with lemon, and in the evening - a calming herbal drink.

By adhering to such recommendations, you can easily create a fairly accurate Maggi diet menu for every day, regardless of what duration of the fast you have chosen.
