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.
Sunday
This day
is a diet day. In the first 5 hours the stress is on the
absorption of liquid elements. The body is extremely needed, so
you must rest as much as possible.
In the morning and noon keep the first day’s menu.
Supper: 200 g steamed fish and one bowl of
vegetables.
Before bedtime: One yoghurt with a spoon of
honey.
Monday, calcium day
Morning: Have water, grapefruit juice and a cup of
cocoa.
Noon: 250 g cheese mixed with yoghurt and 2 spoons
of honey.
Afternoon: In 2-2 hours 2 apples (canned or
fruit).
Supper: 200 g white meat and 300 g steamed
vegetables sprinkled with olive oil.
If you

lose lose about 2-3
kg/week.
