Читать книгу The Viva Mayr Diet: 14 days to a flatter stomach and a younger you - Dr Stossier Harald - Страница 31

So are you ready for Viva Mayr? This has been a day of preparation for the new you. In terms of physical preparation it is fairly simple. You need to buy the food on the list (without succumbing to any doughnuts or bottles of beer) and also invest in a steamer if you can. You are easing into the diet with recipes made up from food you are likely to have at home. Begin and end the day with a cup of hot water with a slice of lemon in it.

Although we have not been through them all yet, there are some Viva Mayr rules you will need to follow today and from now on. They are:

• Chew as much as you possibly can.

• Eat nothing raw after four.

• Take at least 15 minutes of exercise a day.

• Eat more early on in the day, reducing portions in the evening.

Take some time for yourself on Day One. I have three children and know how difficult that can be. It is important that you have a chance to prepare both mentally and physically. Having said that, the Viva Mayr, unlike other diets, has an easy-to-follow menu that can be served to the whole family. There is no need to cook separately for anyone.

This is not a difficult diet in terms of what you eat, and you most certainly won’t be horribly hungry, so throw yourself right into it. There are a few adjustments to your routine that will have to be made, such as eating a big breakfast and having dinner earlier in the evening. Start this diet with an open mind, and for 14 days I’ll guide you through the ins and outs of the optimum way to eat.

Once you have been shopping, have a quiet night and end the evening with a cup of hot water, or herbal tea such as lemon balm, chamomile, or St John’s wort. If you wish, add a slice of lemon. You need to begin to cleanse your system in preparation for the new you. Tomorrow is a big day.
