Mayo Clinic Diet: Fat Burning Soup to Help You Fight Obesity

“Space diet” by Sergei Sivokho: without denying himself anything, the comedian lost 42 kg in 3 months

The Mayo Clinic is a non-profit organization and private research and medical center located in Minnesota. The Mayo Clinic has developed a unique weight loss diet that helps you lose 4-8 extra pounds in a week. The True Mayo Clinic Diet is based on calculating daily caloric intake based on individual data (weight, age, gender) using an online calculator. However, there is another, more common version of the Mayo Clinic diet, which is based on fat-burning soup.

Essence and principles

Employees of an American medical institution have developed a unique nutritional system for weight loss, the essence of which is to adhere to a healthy weight pyramid. The weight loss program does not belong to the usual diet that anyone can follow. It involves a complete change in your diet, which will help you lose weight and develop beautiful shapes.

The Mayo Clinic diet is not difficult to follow and there is no need to fast. The main thing is to learn how to choose the right products, cook dishes based on them and lose weight. The food pyramid involves choosing foods based on their importance and usefulness. Let's break down the products, starting from the bottom (important) base of the pyramid:

• Fruits and vegetables;
• Cereals, pasta from durum wheat;
• Meat and fish, eggs (protein products);
• Oils, nuts (foods containing fats);
• Sweets, flour products.

This suggests that for the functioning of the body we increasingly need vegetables, fruits, carbohydrates and proteins. Fats occupy the penultimate layer of the pyramid, but are also considered important and vital, but in limited quantities.

Before starting a diet and during it, it is worth eliminating alcoholic drinks that interfere with the weight loss process.

The principles of the Mayo diet are as follows:

• You can eat dietary meats and fish without restrictions;
• Fruits and vegetables are accepted in any quantity;
• The main source of food should be fat-burning soup, which can be easily combined with various healthy foods;
• In case of hunger, you need to fill the void with fruits and vegetables.

A healthy and dietary nutrition system will be effective only if all the rules and principles of nutrition are followed. The slightest violation can take all processes out of the system.

Fully or partially limited products

The list of prohibited foods, like other diets, is quite large, but these are rather recommendations for proper nutrition in order to improve the health of the body as a whole. Nutritionists and psychologists who developed this weight loss system suggest completely abandoning:

• from any fried food, pastries and bread;
• from street food (you only need to eat food you prepare yourself);
• from alcoholic beverages, including low-alcohol cocktails and beer;
• from honey, sugar, sweets, cakes, pastries, as well as other carbohydrate foods and drinks.

The main meal on a diet is always fat-burning soup, which is supplemented with vegetables, fruits and liquid. There is no need to eat only soup 3 times a day, destroying the nervous system and psychological mood. The main thing is to accept the fact that soup is an essential part of the daily diet. It is due to this that a good result is achieved.

Rules for losing weight

Making real fat-burning soup is an art. We are accustomed to borscht and solyanka, and our hands involuntarily reach out to add butter or cut potatoes. But if you want your soup to not only satisfy your hunger, but also make you slimmer, remember a few rules.

1. Only vegetable soups made with water or vegetable broth are suitable for the diet. The same Mayo beef soup is a rare exception for athletes and manual workers. These people need energy, and there is not enough of it in vegetables.
2. You cannot go on a soup diet for more than a week. It's very tasty and varied, but vegetables won't give you the full range of vital elements. You need to eat regular food for two weeks, and then return to a liquid diet if desired.
3. Avoid soup bases and pre-made seasonings. And forget about the existence of chicken and beef cubes altogether. For dietary soups, choose only natural herbs and spices.
4. During the diet, give up alcohol; it’s better to give it up forever. It is not only harmful, but also very high in calories. And your task is slimness and health.
5. Eliminate from your diet all foods that can harm your figure. No bread, cookies, soda or meat. In between soups, you can snack on fruits that promote weight loss. These are pineapple, citrus fruits, avocado.

How to prepare fat-burning soup?

The recipe for fat burning soup is simple. It cooks quickly and does not require any unusual ingredients. The only downside to preparing it is that you have to cook it every day.

Ingredients:

• Celery;
• Cabbage;
• Onion;
• Tomatoes;
• Green pepper.

It is necessary to wash and chop all the cooked vegetables and place them in a pan of boiling water. If seasonality does not allow the use of fresh tomatoes, you can replace them with a canned version. Add a little salt to taste.

Vegetables should be cooked for 10-15 minutes over high heat. After this time, the heat is reduced slightly, and the vegetables continue to cook over medium heat for another 5-10 minutes. It is advisable to prepare the dish only for the day so that the soup is fresh and healthy.

Fat-burning soup removes 8 kg in a week without harming the body with strict restrictions. Weight loss does not occur through fasting, but through the process of reducing calories consumed, burning fat and removing harmful substances from the body.
