What Is the Rina Diet?
The Rina Diet, also known as the 90-day diet, is a dissociated diet originating from Slovenia that has become extremely popular in Eastern Europe.
The basic principle: separating foods into themed days to optimize digestion and metabolism. The 4-day cycle repeats for 90 days:
- Day 1 - Protein: meat, fish, eggs, dairy
- Day 2 - Starch: grains, potatoes, legumes
- Day 3 - Carbohydrates: pasta, bread, sweets (in moderation)
- Day 4 - Vitamins: raw fruits and vegetables
Every 29 days, a detox day is done (water or juices only).
Sample Menu for One Week
Day 1 - Protein
Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, green tea
Lunch: 200g grilled chicken breast, green salad
Dinner: 150g baked fish, steamed vegetables
Day 2 - Starch
Breakfast: oatmeal porridge with cinnamon
Lunch: brown rice with sauteed vegetables
Dinner: baked potatoes with rosemary
Day 3 - Carbohydrates
Breakfast: toasted whole grain bread with honey
Lunch: whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce
Dinner: homemade pizza on thin crust
Day 4 - Vitamins
Breakfast: fresh fruit smoothie
Lunch: large salad with avocado and nuts
Dinner: raw vegetables with hummus
