It seems like Britain's Iron Lady had her own human weaknesses. In the 1979 campaign for Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Maggie was worried about her weight and embarked upon an extreme weight loss plan in the hope of shedding 20 pounds very quickly.
This has recently been found out and coined the Margaret Thatcher Diet Plan. In this article I shall review this quaint program and see whether it's a good one or not.
The program is really a high protein diet plan. Here is what the Former Prime Minister had:
One or two eggs for breakfast with the occasional grapefruit. Allowed drinks were coffee.
Tomato or spinach for lunch with more eggs. In total, she had 4 eggs each and every day.
Steak and salad for dinner. It's unclear if there was any dressing or seasoning but I suspect there was very little of either.
Alcohol was not part of the plan as a rule, but it seemed that Thatcher did enjoy a drink of whiskey on occasion.
Is this diet plan a good one or a bad one?
In my opinion, this is a crash diet plan with little hope of long term success. For one thing, it is very low on calories. This may indeed lead to a some weight loss, but not the kind that's easy to maintain. In addition, there are some nutrient shortages on this diet plan which are not good for your long term health.
I don't think this is a sensible eating plan and I doubt that the former prime minister stuck to it for very long after she was elected.
