Maggi curd diet, what are its advantages?
The classic Maggi diet is based on the consumption of a significant amount of protein foods, namely chicken eggs. However, vegetarians cannot eat eggs, and people with high blood cholesterol should not eat them. Therefore, nutritionists offer an alternative method of losing weight, which involves replacing eggs with cottage cheese. This product is rich in calcium, perfectly absorbed by the body and very tasty, especially when combined with fruits.
You need to choose the right cheese. As a rule, all diets involve eating a low-fat product. However, if the body does not get enough fat from food, then the risk of developing a skin problem increases. Moreover, the body can react to a lack of fat in such a way that it begins to transform all incoming substances into its own fat reserves. This will lead to the fact that the process of losing weight will be slowed down. Therefore, the Maggi cottage cheese diet involves building a diet on cottage cheese with 3-5% fat content.
