The broth association with this diet is unfounded. They have nothing in common except 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 back in 1979. The first to test his results was the British Prime Minister. The menu of this diet is compiled according to the tastes of the first lady of the country. As a confirmation of this fact, Thatcher's diary preserved the prescribed diet.
How diet works
It is necessary to choose a diet for yourself based on the mechanism of its work, as well as the proposed product lists. The opinion that the amount of food consumed directly depends on a person’s weight is considered wrong. Weight gain in many ways is not driven by the amount of food consumed, but by its quality characteristics. The Magi Diet offers a balanced menu that includes a wide selection of foods. Spicy and fatty foods are excluded from it. It is the use of spicy and fatty smoked meats that causes the activation of taste buds, 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 keeping in mind the different chemical reactions that take place in the human body, and not the principles of reducing calorie intake. The diet within this diet sets itself the task of activating metabolic processes in the human body, improving the breakdown of fats and removing biological toxins - various toxic substances.
