Diet plan from Dr. Matthai

Don't just drink a cup of tea and see what happens, but rather drink tea and get up and go!

Many factors have an influence on our health and most of them are up to us. A balanced diet, regular exercise and a sensible work-life balance form the basis for a long, healthy life. Besides what we eat, the amount we eat is of great importance. Numerous scientific studies have shown that overweight and adiposity lead to a significantly higher risk of getting various illnesses. For this reason it is not only important that we eat healthily but also that we remain slim and live a figure-conscious life.

The following plan is to help you find a way to remain healthy and to feel good. It contains the type of nutrition which consciously leaves out snacks in between meals and it also keeps the amount of carbohydrates to a minimum. Drinking various kinds of tea can also aid in losing weight and make a change in diet easier. 
Many people drink too little! Thirst is often mistaken to be hunger which is why people often eat more than necessary. A sufficient intake of unsweetened fluids is not only important to be able to lose weight but can also be used in a controlled way to support a weight reduction plan. Various kinds of tea are especially good for this!

 

Info: If amounts are given for the foodstuffs please keep to these amounts. If no amounts are given you may eat how much of them you like.   

I wish you good luck with the plan and above all good health!

Yours, Dr.med. Christian MatthaiDr.med. Christian Matthai

In 3 weeks to your dream figure

We have put together a 3-week nutrition plan for you that will help you lose weight and give you a new sense of well-being. The nutrition plan consists of 3 meals a day (early, midday, evening). A sufficient supply of unsweetened liquids is important to facilitate a change in diet and helps you to accept them. It is recommended to drink 2-3 litres of liquid a day in the form of tea or other unsweetened drinks.

  • Week 1 (Recommendation: Fit & slim)  
  • Week 2 (Recommendation: Detox & slim)  
  • Week 3 (Recommendation: Balance & slim)  
Week 1 (Recommendation: Fit & slim)

Week 1: At the beginning the main thing is to resist feeling hungry and to boost fat burning. Metabolism should work at full speed. In this phase Mate Tea is the one which has proved to be best. Excessive water depots are secreted from the body by the Stinging Nettle and the Green Tea burns energy. This is the ideal combination for rapidly achieving the first goal in losing weight.

The "10 Golden Rules" for "Weight-Shedders"

or those to wish to become one

1

Remove all fatty foodstuffs from the household! If you do not belong to the minority of people who are very disciplined when eating, make sure that you are not placed in temptations way when you are at home. Above all cheese, all snacks such as nuts, crisps and chips, butter, mayonnaise, double cream, cream, sour cream, fatty meats, sausages and luncheon sausage belong in this category.

2

Never go shopping when you are hungry! If you do, many foodstuffs will end up in the trolley which have no right to be there.

3

Place a water bottle in every corner of your home and workplace. Drink at least 3 litres of water per day. That fills up the stomach and stops you feeling hungry at least for a while. 

4

Do not overestimate your basic energy requirements! Many people erroneously believe that they need to eat large amounts of food daily. If you are a professional athlete or if you do heavy manual work in your job then you are right. But if not you do not need so much energy! 

5

Avoid snacking between mealtimes! Snacks eaten spread out over the day are often not remembered and therefore not calculated in the amount of food eaten daily. Even healthy snacks such as dried fruits for example have many calories! In addition the snacks between mealtimes lead to a rise in blood sugars and production of insulin. This is a hindrance when trying to lose weight. 

6

Remove all drinks that contain sugar from your drinks list.

7

Eat breakfast. Studies have shown that people who eat breakfast suffer les soften from overweight than those who do not.

8

Eat consciously and chew slowly. In this way you give your body the chance to send you signals when it is satisfied and how much you have really consumed. 

9

Do without carbohydrates after 5 pm. If blood sugars are low in the late evening hours and at night, growth hormones are released that are responsible for a balance between fat and muscle in our bodies. In addition the insulin level remains low. In this case you have the ideal hormone combination for losing weight. 

10

Make friends with vegetables! Nobody has to starve themselves to lose weight! They only have to make the right choices. Imagine a large green head of broccoli and three ribs of chocolate next to it. Both have approximately the same amount of calories!

My personal tip: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is surely obsolete by now and not correct. My alternative saying is: "A sweat a day keeps the doctor away". This is a call to everybody to do sports regularly. Your body will thank you for it!
