This diet is low in calories and has few fats which facilitates weight loss quickly, but in order not to slow down the metabolism which facilitates the accumulation of fats, thermogenic foods such as green tea to speed up metabolism and burn fat are included.
This diet is divided into three daily phases, in which the first, which corresponds to breakfast, consists of the internal cleansing of the organism and that is why you never eat anything but fruits. The second, lunch, is related to the improvement of digestive processes and absorption of nutrients. The third phase refers to dinner and is the construction phase, so it has a higher amount of protein.

It is important to give preference to diuretic fruits and vegetables such as apple, strawberry, celery and cucumber, for example because they help to deflate the body and detoxify the body, facilitating weight loss. Learn more at: Diuretic foods.
Tips for the diet to work:
- Variety of fruits and vegetables as much as possible;
- Add cinnamon to the fruit as it has no calories and is a thermogenic food;
- To season the salads, use lemon drops and apple cider vinegar, which is a thermogenic food;
- Drink 2 liters of water a day or unsweetened tea;
- If you get really hungry and you can't take the 4 hour break, add the super flour in the cup of green tea to decrease your appetite.
- If you are hungry before going to sleep drink 1 cup of chamomile tea to help you relax and sleep better, do not drink green tea at this time, as it has caffeine can cause insomnia.
Super flour is a mixture of flours rich in fibers that help to decrease appetite and therefore facilitate weight loss. Learn more and learn how to make super flour at: How to make super flour to lose weight.
