Danish Diet began its “career” 20 years ago in several cardiovascular surgery hospitals, being applied pre-operative to those suffering from obesity and overweight. It is a very restrictive diet, with a maximum intake of 600 calories per day, which should be followed for more than 13 days. For such obese, cardiac or hypertensive patients whose life is in danger due to excessive weight, Danish diet is a difficult one, but very efficient.Many overweight people that truly comply with the daily regimen, point by point, can lose a large part, if not all the excess fat.

The lettuce contained in the diet should be fresh, green or iceberg, the cod can be replaced with trout or brill, and the coffee can be replaces with green tea naturally sweetened, of course. The chosen yogurt should be natural, unpasteurized, with no sugar or fruits added to it, as low in fat as possible. It is recommended for the apple to be least sweet, the green kind or for diabetics, and the cottage cheese can be supplemented by green cheese, or another light or cottage cheese, under 5% fat.
