This diet is low in calories and has few fats which facilitates weight loss quickly, but in order not to slow down the metabolism which facilitates the accumulation of fats, thermogenic foods such as green tea to speed up metabolism and burn fat are included.
This diet is divided into three daily phases, in which the first, which corresponds to breakfast, consists of the internal cleansing of the organism and that is why you never eat anything but fruits. The second, lunch, is related to the improvement of digestive processes and absorption of nutrients. The third phase refers to dinner and is the construction phase, so it has a higher amount of protein.

Tips for the diet to work:
- Vary fruits and vegetables as much as possible; Add cinnamon to fruits as it has no calories and is a thermogenic food; To season salads use lemon drops and apple cider vinegar which is a thermogenic food; Drink 2 liters of water a day or tea without sugar; if you get really hungry and you can't take the 4 hour break add the super flour in the cup of green tea to decrease your appetite.If you're hungry before going to sleep drink 1 cup of chamomile tea to help you relax and sleep better, don't drink green tea at this time, because as it has caffeine it can cause insomnia.
