The 4-week egg diet (in other words, the Maggi diet) is a weight loss program for those who want to get rid of unnecessary kilograms without fasting and constant calorie counting. Within 28 days, you will need to follow certain rules and eat only allowed foods.

The basic principles of the egg diet

Egg diet is based on the use of not only eggs, but also other protein products. The maximum amount of protein is ingested in the first two weeks of this system. It is during this period that the rapid burning of fat stores occurs. A diet of 3 and 4 weeks allows you to consolidate the result.

The complete exclusion of fast carbohydrates from the diet and the introduction of protein foods creates the effect of carbohydrate starvation in the body. As a result, fats are broken down, and extra pounds leave the body. In addition, eggs supply the body with biotin (vitamin H), which contributes to these processes.

Thus, Maggi's egg diet is not based on a decrease in calorie intake, but on chemical reactions that occur in tissues and organs due to changes in nutrition.
