Brigitte diet
The Brigitte diet is a diet concept that has been published regularly by the women's magazine Brigitte since 1969 . It is one of the oldest and most famous diet programs in Germany. According to its own information, the dishes are a balanced, low-fat and filling diet that is recognized by nutritionists and doctors , reports the Focus , which only lists eponymous diets in its overview.
principle
The Brigitte diet is made up of low-energy mixed foods that you prepare yourself. The recipe suggestions are printed in the Brigitte booklets and can be cooked by the readers. There are also Brigitte diet cookbooks and websites. 3 main meals and up to 2 snacks between meals are allowed daily. You can consume between 1000 and 1500 kilocalories per day and a maximum of 40 grams of fat. There are different concepts. B. Recipes for quick menus, family recipes or menus for vegetarians are available. The ingredients have a balanced carbohydrate, protein and fat ratio and thus ensure an adequate supply of nutrients.
Help with the implementation of the Brigitte diet can be obtained from the fee-based “Brigitte Diet Coach”. The heart of this is an automatically generated nutrition plan, which submits suitable recipe suggestions from the Brigitte diet for the weight loss goal. It is also possible to create and plan your own recipes and to exclude allergenic foods. A nutrient, fruit and beverage balance, each supplemented by nutritional recommendations, should show weak points in eating habits.
criticism
The criticism of the Brigitte diet follows the same approaches as for other diet programs ( yo-yo effect ). In addition, it is time-consuming and therefore difficult to implement for working people. The publisher therefore cooperates with more than 1000 company canteens and caterers, who are supplied with information material and recipes free of charge. Traditionally, the Brigitte diet dishes are served at the beginning of the year (New Year's resolutions , Lent ) in the participating canteens.
