The Gesta Diet

The Gesta diet was made up by the dietitian Madeleine Gesta, initially for stars to reshape their bodies in a short period of time.

The diet is not only a weight loss procedure, but also a general regulator. It is extremely important that it relies on elements rich in proteins, calcium, vitamins and lasts 2 days.
 
The diet's principles: 
 
This weight loss program can be described through balance, relaxation and much resting. It involves 2 phases: the detoxifying period and the stabilizing period, consisting of: 
 
- 3 meals/day with a respected ratio of 4-2-1 (4 glucose, 2 parts proteins and one part lipids) 
- max 500 g food/meal
- 1,5 l water/day – at noon before the meal, never in between.
 

Saturday
 
Morning: When woken up, drink half liter of water with tiny sips to eliminate toxins. After 30 minutes drink a grapefruit juice (extremely rich in vitamin C and potassium) and after another 15 minutes drink a mix of pasteurized milk, one spoon of cocoa and one of honey. 
Noon: 200 g fish, steamed or prepared in oven, spiced with lemon and olive oil. After 2 hours eat yoghurt with a little honey (stimulates the intestinal transit). 
Afternoon:  One squeezed lemon in 500 ml water and one spoon of honey. 
Supper: Boil 1 kg leek for about 20 minutes in 1 ½ l water (purgative effect), 500 g carrots (for its vitamin A), 500 g tomatoes (rich in potassium and minerals), 2 celeries and a pinch of thyme. 3x10 minutes drink this juice then eat boiled vegetables sprinkled with vinaigrette after about 20 minutes. 
Before bedtime: One yoghurt with a spoon of honey.
