The association of broth with this diet is unfounded. They have nothing in common, apart from the name. Hence, this diet was specially developed for the English Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher. Hence, probably, the name.
The paternity is attributed to the famous American Mayo Clinic in 1979. The first to test the results was the British Prime Minister. The menu of this diet was compiled according to the tastes of the first lady of the country. In confirmation of this fact, Thatcher's diary kept a prescribed diet.
How the diet works
It is necessary to choose a diet for you based on the mechanism of its work, as well as the proposed list of products. The opinion that the amount of food consumed directly depends on a person's weight is considered to be incorrect. In many ways, the increase in body weight is not favored by the quantity of food consumed, but by its qualitative characteristics. The Magi Diet offers a balanced menu that includes a wide variety of foods. Spicy and fatty foods are excluded. It is the use of spicy and fatty smoked meats that causes the taste buds to be activated, which in turn increases the consumption of food and water.
The mechanism of this diet is in the use of low-fat, but completely nutritious foods. This diet was designed with the various chemical reactions occurring in the human body in mind, not the principles of calorie reduction. Diet in the context of this diet sets itself the task of activating metabolic processes in the human body, improving the breakdown of fats and removing biological poisons - various toxic substances.
