What does it consist on ?

It is a low calorie and very restrictive diet of 14 days whose daily ration must be 1000 calories. All nutritionists agree that it is not recommended to follow this diet because it is followed for a brief period. When the person regains his old eating habits, weight gain is usually spectacular!

Foods to consume

Eggs are to eat at will: Both rich in protein and low in calories, they have the great advantage of being stammering. You can eat up to 6 per day!
You can also eat a limited quantity of chicken, lettuce, celery or cucumber at will
You must limit the consumption of fruit except grapefruit which is low in calories.
Finally, the only drinks allowed are tea or coffee.

This diet has many prohibitions, far more than food to consume. It is forbidden to eat fats, starchy foods and pulses.
We also leave out sweet products and dairy products.
Fruit consumption is very limited.
Foods that are a source of carbohydrates and fats are very strictly sidelined.
And it's over for pasta, bread, and any other flour-based product.

The least of the Mayo diet

- With such a low caloric intake, weight loss is important, of course, but the recovery of pounds lost at the end of the diet, is also fast since there is no advice for the post-diet.
- Deficiencies in protein, vitamins, and minerals are inevitable Without them, you will experience muscle loss and symptoms of fatigue, and risks of osteoporosis are to be feared.
- The lack of variety in the choice of fruits and, to a lesser extent, vegetables, also causes a deficiency of vitamins and minerals.
- Finally, note that the feeling of hunger very important because this diet is very restrictive. So the frustration is great!

Duration and effectiveness

This diet is very dangerous for health. The deficiencies are important. But if in spite of everything you want to implement this diet, it is very strongly discouraged to follow more than 14. Beyond, metabolic complications would come into question ...

As for its effectiveness, certainly weight loss is important in the beginning, but no advice "after diet" is planned to limit the recovery of weight.
