According to Alison Graziano, R.D.N., a registered dietitian nutritionist, the Mayr method diet has recently become more popular due to its relationship with Wilson.
Graziano says, “The basic principles of the diet include eliminating sugar, dairy, gluten, and caffeine for 14 days, says Graziano. “The diet also emphasizes mindful eating behaviors, such as avoiding distractions while eating, chewing each bite of food 40 to 60 times, avoiding water with meals, and stopping eating after 7 p.m.”
Jenna Volpe, R.D.N., a gut health specialist at Whole-listic Living, emphasizes gut health with the Mayr Method. Volpe adds that the Mayr Method also incorporates lifestyle interventions, such as reducing screen time, getting more sleep, and incorporating acupuncture and nasal reflexology.

Graziano says, “I would not recommend the Mayr Method to anyone. Simply put, any diet with food rules that can’t be broken is not sustainable.”
Graziano says using this diet to lose weight in 14 days does not work because it requires eating mindfully without distractions. You should always consult your doctor or a registered dietitian before trying a new diet or changing your eating habits.
According to the magazine, Wilson added the Mayr Method to her routine after visiting the Austrian resort in 2019. Since declaring 2020 her “year of health,” Rebel Wilson has surpassed her health goals through Instagram.
