Rebel Wilson’s Diet
Summary
Wilson began losing weight while filming Cats as the role was physically demanding. Her initial progress encouraged her to continue. She enrolled in the Mayr Method Diet at the VivaMayr health center in Australia. The diet has restrictions during the initial phase including eating no gluten, dairy, or other common food allergens or processed food. It also includes a lot of chewing. Wilson also had to give up alcohol, caffeine, and sugar for the first two weeks. She focused on protein at all meals: eggs or a protein shake for breakfast, and meat and veggies for lunch and dinner. Carbs aren’t entirely off the menu, however and she might have polenta or other whole grains. Although she sometimes falls off the wagon, she has lost 60 lbs. and is very proud of her accomplishment.

Diet Details
Food Rules
The idea behind giving up processed foods, gluten, dairy, and sugar is to allow the gut to heal from damage due to allergens and unhealthy eating habits.
Chew, Chew, Chew
With the Mayr Method, food should be chewed 40 times before swallowing. This has 3 effects: it breaks down your food which aids in the digestive process; it slows you down so your body has time to signal satiation; and it also forces you to pay attention to what you’re eating.
Dry Meals
Meals on the Mayr Method are eaten every 4 hours. They’re taken without drinks as it is believed liquids can dilute digestive acids, thus impeding digestion.
Choose Your Beverages Wisely
Besides giving up alcohol, caffeine and sugar, Wilson now sticks to green tea and only has coffee occasionally.
Light Dinner
Wilson’s biggest meal of the day is lunch, typically a salad with protein such as smoked salmon or grilled turkey breast. Dinner is a smaller version of lunch, and all veggies must be cooked because in the Mayr Method raw vegetables are believed to be difficult to digest.
No Screens
The Mayr Method also does not allow the use of screens during meals, again, so the individual focuses solely on what they’re eating.
Serious Sweet Tooth
Wilson admits to having a raging sweet tooth and will eat any donut in sight, but she is committed to her goal of healthy eating and does not let her cravings get out of control.
