Max Planck Diet
The Max Planck Diet , also the Diet Plan from the Max Planck Institute for Nutrition or the Max Planck Diet Plan, is a diet that has been circulating since around 1986 and is distributed via Internet sites and earlier in copies. Contrary to the name, the Max Planck Society declared in 2001 that neither it nor any of its institutes had anything to do with this diet. A Max Planck Institute for Nutrition, for example, never existed. The author could not be determined. Presumably the diet was introduced as an April Fool's joke .
The Max Planck Society advises "definitely against using this diet", since a "medical-scientific derivation of this diet is not recognizable". The “Max Planck Diet” can be found on numerous sites on the Internet; according to fitkult.de it is "one of the better known diets". With a firmly planned nutrition plan that has to be maintained for 14 days, one should lose 9 kilograms and then - through an alleged "metabolic change" - not gain weight again. The diet is very one-sided protein-heavy and contains only a few carbohydrates.
