A BALANCED DIET BASED ON NEW EATING HABITS, I.E. 1 MEDIDIET® PROTEIN MEAL + 3 REAL MEALS + FRUIT DAILY. THE FINAL PHASE OF THE MEDIDIET® PROGRAM IS TO BE FOLLOWED PERMANENTLY WITHIN THE NEW EATING HABITS.
-
This phase allows you to permanently maintain your optimal body weight.
-
According to the well-known rule "same causes produce the same effects", you will undoubtedly gain back the lost kilograms if you do not fundamentally change your eating habits and start exercising regularly.
-
Phase number 4 is no longer a diet, so it's not about eating little, it's about eating healthy.
-
It will benefit not only your figure but also your overall health.
-
It is helpful to see your counselor regularly to help you maintain your optimal body weight consistently.

MEDIDIET® 10 COMMANDMENTS
-
We eat like a diabetic 3-4 times a day (small portions - foods rich in proteins - low in fats and carbohydrates).
-
We will unlearn to "indulge" and mindlessly stuff something into our mouths, whether it's during the day or in the evening in front of the TV.
-
We avoid all dietary fads, no matter what kind of food it is.
-
We generally eat all types of fresh fruit outside of main meals (that is, as a morning or afternoon snack).
-
We will skip inappropriate cooking styles of food (baking, frying, grilling) and give priority to stewing in water, steaming, or marinating.
-
We eat slowly and chew our food carefully.
-
We eat protein-rich foods twice a day and constantly change the composition of our menu. We only eat meat 2-3 times a week. Sausages must nearly disappear from our lives. We eat poultry without the skin. Fish offers the best protein for your health. Therefore, we should eat fish 2-3 times a week, cooked at low temperatures (steamed or stewed in water). We prefer lean types of fish. We can eat BIO-quality eggs 2-3 times a week (that is, 6-8 eggs per week if we don't have problems with cholesterol).
-
We can eat as much fresh and raw vegetables as we want.
-
We eat starches (rice, legumes, potatoes) in reasonable portions. We will also eat bread in a limited way and only if our food does not contain other starches.
-
Desserts and other sweets, which have no nutritional value, are to be avoided and will surely bring us back to the point where this whole conversation started…back to phase 1.
THE MOST COMMON MISTAKES IN THE FOURTH PHASE
Returning to old eating habits under pressure from the environment ("everyone eats it and it's fine").
-
The idea is that the new body weight will be maintained on its own (you need to continue to engage in regular physical activity at least 2 times a week, constantly check your food, and not be subject to food advertising campaigns).
-
Inability to permanently say goodbye to some favorite harmful foods or at least dramatically reduce their consumption (sausages, saturated fats, sauces, sweets, fries, fast food, hamburgers, alcohol,...).
-
Inability to say goodbye forever to some types of cooking styles of food (frying, grilling, baking).
