The low-calorie non-joining diet was developed by the American physician William Hay. The guiding principle is based on thoughtful combinations of products in a meal. In this way, food will be digested much faster and fat will be burned.
In the served dish, we should avoid proteins and carbohydrates at the same time. In addition, each meal must be enriched with any fat burner, from: iodine, calcium, chromium, iron, magnesium, carnitine, or vitamin C. Apart from a slim figure, other benefits should also be mentioned. Because the diet is varied, it supplies our body with vitamins and minerals necessary for health, improves well-being and stimulates metabolism. Dr. Hay’s diet is also suggested to people complaining of fatigue, heart disease, hypertension and hyperacidity.
