Queen Letizia is known for being a faithful follower of the Perricone diet, created by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, for whom it is named. He promises not only to help us lose weight, but that he would also have a anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating effect. In addition, with results in just 28 days. However, although with this type of diet we already know that all that glitters is not gold, the type of breakfast that he proposes is very high in protein, satiating and delicious.
What is the Perricone diet
In this diet we are offered two options: either follow a three-day plan in which we already have the meals established and they cannot be changed, or another 28-day plan in which we can choose the food ourselves. Of course, as long as it is fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, whole grains, spices, foods containing omega 3 and probiotics.
In addition, there are certain foods that are prohibited and that we cannot eat in any case. Among them we find some common sense such as sugar, alcohol or refined flour. But also other foods whose prohibition surprisessuch as oranges, watermelon, papaya, mango, bananas, grapes, carrots, pumpkin or potatoes.
Another problem with this diet is that practically does not reach 1,200 calories, with which we will surely lose weight, but we run the risk of not consuming what is necessary for our body to function properly. In addition, the loss does not occur due to the formulation of this specific diet, but rather due to increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables and reducing that of sugars and refined foods. Which we can do without following a specific diet.
Queen Letizia’s breakfast
However, and as exemplified by the fact that it promotes increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, there are positive things about this diet that we can stay with. Like this breakfast worthy of a good brunch with which Letizia will surely start gaining strength several days a week.
If we stick to what Perricone proposes, we need to ingest foods high in protein and rich in omega 3 such as fresh salmon, in addition to raw foods that provide us with antioxidants in abundance, such as the fruits of the forest.
Thus, a typical palace breakfast is likely to be a fresh smoothie, followed by an egg-white omelet and smoked salmon. Yum!
