The broth association with this diet is unfounded. They have nothing in common except the name. So this diet was developed specifically 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 the results was the British Prime Minister. The menu for this diet was composed according to the taste of the country's first lady. In confirmation of this fact, Thatcher's diary maintained a prescribed diet.
How the diet works
It is necessary to choose a diet for yourself based on the mechanism of its work as well as the suggested list of products. The notion that the amount of food consumed directly depends on a person's weight is considered erroneous. In many ways, the increase in body weight is not promoted by the amount of food consumed, but by its quality characteristics. The Magic 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 triggers the activation of taste buds, 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 food. This diet was designed with the various chemical reactions that take place in the human body in mind, not the principles of reducing calorie intake. The diet within the framework of 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.
