It is called ” The crackers diet “, it has become famous abroad because it allows you to lose 10 kilos a month, and it is the very expensive diet at the basis of the weight loss program of nutritionist Tanya Zuckerbrot, author of the F-Factor diet: even if all on the surface it seems like a lightning-fast and senseless diet (the diet of crackers suggests that you only eat those), well, it doesn’t. You can go on for two or three months without any problems, and in the first month you can lose 10 pounds. But what does it consist of, you ask? Here, the first news is that the crackers diet is not based on normal crackers, but on low-calorie Wasa slices (or similar products: in Italy there are only these or almost), which can easily be found in hypermarkets and various supermarkets.
To be clear, these you see in the photo next to the text of the article. They have 30 calories per slice, are based on whole rye, very digestible and yeast-free, with very little salt. Here, Tanya Zuckerbrot’s diet of crackers is based on these wholemeal slices, which are rich in fiber and very satiating. The idea behind the diet is to consume these whole slices instead of carbohydrates (apart from fruit and vegetables) and thus lose weight by acting on the sense of satiety induced by the fibers.
Here is a sample cracker diet plan.
