The Buchinger Wilhelmi fasting clinic in Überlingen is not an institution where one would expect a top chef.
But since the beginning of February, Philipp Troppenhagen has been at the stove, the former head chef of the “Nikkei Nine” restaurant at the “Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten” in Hamburg.

What
attracted
you to the new job?
Troppenhagen:
I've tried many diets myself.
A few years ago I weighed 30 kilos more and was not happy with my weight.
The kilos simply added up over the years, and the diets always had the yo-yo effect and were ultimately unsatisfactory.
So I thought about how I could change my diet, but still like it.
That's how it started.
At first I made a lot of mistakes.
