The bouillon association with this diet is unfounded. They have nothing in common, apart from 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 its 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 preserved 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 proposed list of products. The opinion that the amount of food consumed directly depends on the weight of a person 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 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 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 poisons - various toxic substances.
