In her new book, which Petronella points out is “not a diet book” but “a quarterly program that introduces a new way of eating and living,” she shares a “painless way” to help people reach “unlimited” goals. energy. “Perfect weight” and “perfect skin”, “refreshing sleep” and “better sex”.
Those brave enough to try it go two days without meat, fat or alcohol and instead eat just 100g of vegetables mixed in the soup.
After that, dieters can add meat and other types of protein to their diet, but no fat or alcohol is allowed, meaning dieters will eat about 600 calories a day for two weeks.
“The first 16 days are tough, free of fat, alcohol, sugar, and grains, and should be considered holy,” Petrnonella writes on her website.

THE FOUR STAGES OF THE HUMAN DIET
Stage 1: Preparation
Just two days of veg – Petronella describes it as “pretty cheeky.”
Thirty minutes before breakfast on the first day, Pertonella recommends consuming four teaspoons of Epsom salt dissolved in warm water followed by a glass of fresh water. It claims that this softens the stool and prevents constipation.
For the remainder of the two days, the dieter will not eat grains, protein or fat, preferring only vegetables instead, but no root vegetables, including potatoes, beets, and turnips, are allowed.
Instead, Petronella prescribes a combination of vegetables per 100g mixed in a soup – turmeric powder is added to remove the softness.
The soup should be followed by strong organic black coffee to aid digestion.
Stage 2: restore
Eat three meals a day for two weeks, combining one type of protein of the same weight with a mix of vegetables and eating an apple a day.
Allowed proteins include salmon, ground beef, tofu, and salmon, but calorie intake is about 600 calories per day.
No alcohol either.
Petronella recommends aiming for 100-120g of protein and an equal weight of vegetables at each meal. Stop halfway through to eat an apple.
Stage 3: Burn
A continuation of the 10-week second phase by adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil to each meal and weekly meal, this could include a delicious takeaway or roast dinner or even a glass of wine.
Dieters will have to eat about 1,200 calories a day and follow the 16:8 diet, which means fasting for 16 hours a day and eating only eight hours.
Stage 4: forever
The follow-up to the third stage and the discovery of which foods suit us best.
Experiment with extra meals, but stick to HBD principles.
“They set the tone for the program’s success and the metabolic improvement it provided.
“One of the exciting side effects of following the HBD program is weight loss. What else can you expect? More energy, more flexibility and a better outlook on life. along with stable blood sugar levels, rebalancing hormones, and resolution of many painful conditions”.
The third phase, which will last for ten weeks, will allow you to add a tablespoon of olive oil to every meal and a weekly meal that could be anything from a delicious package of Chinese food to a drink and fish and chips.
In the final phase, “forever”, customers continue with the third phase, but they relax to see what fits their lifestyle and offer more gimmicky meals if they want.
Petronella was trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, the Natura Foundation, and the Institute for Functional Medicine in London, and has cited many naturopaths as her main influences.
He says he was inspired by the ‘t’.the body’s innate healing power’.
Its website reads: ‘I am inspired by the big changes in health through dietary changes and how the body affects the mind.
And I am always inspired by people who come to see me and are ready for change. †
Speaking to the Times, Petronella said she wrote the self-published book because “not everyone could afford” to come to the “reserved clinic” in Chelsea.
“Not everyone can afford private nutritional advice and appointments at my Chelsea clinic were always busy so I wanted to let you know.”
“When people found that the diet was working for them, the response was phenomenal.”
“For many people, the point is to re-establish a better nutritional balance – weight loss is one of the side effects, but the vast majority of people tell me that once they adopt the diet, they sleep better and have healthier skin, less stressed and rejuvenated, out of bed. rushed out, ready to face the day.’
While many on social media praised the diet, saying they lost weight and felt healthier, others said it was dangerous to advise people to eat just 600 calories a day.
Women need an average of 1,600 to 2,400 calories a day, depending on their height, weight, and exercise level, while men need an average of 2,000 to 3,000 calories.
The NHS recommends that men consume 1,900 calories and women 1,400 calories a day to lose weight, and low-calorie diets (less than 800 calories) are not suitable for most people.
While low-calorie diets may cause short-term weight loss, the weight is likely to come back once the diet is over, which can cause thinning hair, low energy consumption, headaches and dizziness.
