The broth association with this diet is unfounded. They have nothing in common but the name. So, this diet was developed especially for the English Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher. Hence probably the name.
The authorship is attributed to the famous American Mayo Clinic in 1979. The first to test its results was the British Prime Minister. The menu of this diet is made according to the tastes of the first lady of the country. In confirmation of this fact, Thatcher's diary maintains a prescribed diet.
How the diet works
You need to choose a diet for yourself based on the mechanism of its work, as well as the proposed list of products. The notion that the amount of food consumed directly depends on a person's weight is considered wrong. In many respects, weight gain is not encouraged by the amount of food consumed, but by its quality characteristics. The Magi Diet offers a balanced menu that includes a wide variety of foods. Spicy and fatty foods are excluded from it. It is the use of spicy and fatty smoked meats that provokes the activation of taste receptors, which in turn increases the consumption of food and water.
The mechanism of this diet is the use of low-fat but completely nutritious food. This diet is designed taking into account the various chemical reactions that take place in the human body, rather than the principles of reducing calorie intake. The diet within this diet aims to activate metabolic processes in the human body, improve the breakdown of fats and eliminate biological toxins - various toxic substances.
