Kefir diet

• Efficiency: 4-6 kg in 7 days
• Terms: 7 days

General rules

Kefir's birthplace is the foot of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a fantastic health resort. It is very reasonable that this invigorating and healing drink appeared there. For a long time, the secret of making kefir was known by few and was inherited in the family from father to son in the same way that, for example, French cheesemakers passed on the secrets of making their signature cheese. Therefore, kefir began to be produced quite recently - not until the beginning of the 20th century. And the very legend of the appearance of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a handsome and young graduate from a dairy school and an employee of a dairy company went to the northern Caucasus, accompanied by a partner, to find out the secret of making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, the Karachai prince fell in love with the girl. For a whole month they stayed in his mansions, traveled around the villages and tried to get kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the investigators decided to take home, but riders who kidnapped the girl blocked the road. She came to her senses in an unknown sanctuary when the prince was already standing next to her with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to become his wife. But it was not there! The girl's partner approached law enforcement, and the kidnapping case went to court. But the local judge did not want to ruin the relationship with the noble kefir magnate and asked the girl to forgive him. She forgave, but in return for 4, 5 kg of dry kefir mushrooms.

Which kefir is useful?

To make the kefir diet a success, you need 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its properties are the same as at 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat content and calorie content are less, which of course is only to our advantage.

The production of kefir is governed by the intergovernmental standard (GOST), according to which 100 g of a quality product must contain:

• 2. 8 g protein;
• from 0, 5 to 8, 9% fat.

The shelf life of kefir is one of the indicators of its quality. A long shelf life indicates that additives were used in the production, which prevent microorganisms from developing. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters it. Therefore, such fermented milk products with long shelf life when opened lose all their valuable properties and deteriorate in less than a day, even when they are in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest way to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and production method: fermented baked milk, natural yogurt without additives, ayran - all this is a good alternative to kefir and is always on store shelves.

How long can you sit on a kefir diet?

Of course, only your doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to stick to a diet for a while, you should start with your own feelings and well-being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet makes you suffer from hunger, there is a breakdown,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you need to change your diet.

On the other hand, the safest duration for a kefir diet is 3-5 days, provided you carefully monitor your well-being.

To the question of how to properly sit on a kefir diet: choose the freshest products of the highest quality that you are 100% sure of. Stock up on starters if you decide to make your own kefir, or find a store nearby that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements so you don’t buy the first one you see.

How to make diet kefir?

In addition to the usual kefir, you can and should even prepare various kefir cocktails to make the weight loss process more efficient. Additionally, you can drink such cocktails while sticking to your classic, non-diet menu.

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

To prepare such a fat-burning cocktail you will need:

• 200 ml kefir 1%;
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon;
• a pinch of red hot pepper;
• 2 teaspoons chopped ginger root.

The secret behind such kefir lies in your imagination. You can add anything: cucumber, herbs, oatmeal, fruits, dried fruits. The ingredients can be chopped in a blender, you can simply cut and add to kefir. Here you can experiment as you like, the most important thing is with permitted and compatible products.

Diet "Chicken, apples and kefir"

A simple and very popular variant of the diet is based on the fact that every 3 days you eat all these foods separately:

First stage

For three days you eat only chicken meat, no more than 500 g a day. It is not recommended to fry the chicken, it is best to bake it, of course without oil and salt, or cook it. Divide into several parts to make 3-4 meals.

Second phase

Here you only need to eat apples in any form: you can fresh, you can bake. Here, green sour apples are recommended for consumption: they contain fewer carbohydrates.

The 3-day kefir diet has one drawback - there can be slight discomfort,diarrhea and bloating.

If the side effects seem insignificant to you and the result is satisfactory, we recommend that you subsequently try a longer kefir diet, for example for 4 days or 5 days.

Completely or partially restricted products

First, the products banned under both the kefir diet and the classic non-dietary diet are carbonated drinks: they alter the body's acid-base balance, so the use of kefir will be useless, if not dangerous, in this combination.

Remove white bread and replace with wholemeal or whole grain bread. In a week you will notice the external transformation of the skin, and after 2 months, and figures.

Forget about sausages, smoked meats, dried and canned foods, bought sweets for a simple reason: you will never know their actual composition, the amount of salt, sugar, fat, and you will not track the quality of raw materials. In short, forget about the products that have been prepared for you.

And the last thing to give up is alcohol. It is bad for your body due to its high calorie content and the fact that it dehydrates the body.

To reduce the calorie content of these breakfast fries, you can also cook them with crushed oatmeal instead of flour.

You will need:

• 50 g oatmeal;
• 80 ml kefir 1% fat;
• 1 chicken egg;

Recipe for diet pancakes on kefir

You will need:

• 500 ml kefir 1% fat;
• 1 cup flour (oatmeal, buckwheat or rye);
• 3 tablespoons honey;
• 2 chicken eggs;
• a pinch of salt;
• ½ teaspoon soda.

You can serve such diet pancakes without additives, or you can fill them with fat-free cottage cheese with raisins or fruits. You get an excellent low-calorie dessert!

In case of breakdown

In order not to fall off the diet, you need to prepare yourself properly for it. Nutritionists advise a week before the start of the actual diet to begin gradually reducing the number of calories consumed: no more than 1400 kcal per day. For a successful implementation of the diet, it is also necessary to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance, so that a sharp transition to diet food does not become a huge stress: cakes, sweets, fried and salty.

And one of the main points is water. Get used to the fact that it is desirable to quench the feeling of hunger with a glass of warm water or a cup of weak green tea, because the human body often confuses hunger and thirst.

But if there was a breakdown during the kefir diet, you should definitely not panic. Let yourself eat a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese and drink sweet tea. You can always stop and pull yourself together, and the best way to do this is through physical activity. Go for a walk or go for a walk, then drink a glass of yogurt and return to the diet on the condition that you extend it by another day.

In addition, on 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diets you can arrange the so-called "chitmill" for yourself: a pre-planned day where you can afford a small weakness, whether it is a piece of chocolate, sausage, ahandful of chips - something you are very fond of, but because of the diet you refuse it. But it is rare to organize such days. If you lose weight in 5 and 9 days, "chitmill" will only be once, but if it is 21 days, there will be no more than three such days. In addition, if you decide to introduce a "chitmill" into your diet, it is strictly forbidden to intercept "harmfulness" on other days.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

Weight loss can quickly return to you, sometimes doubled if you ignore a proper diet after a diet.

In no case do not relax, admire the transformed figure! It would be best to very gradually increase the caloric content of the food eaten by introducing new foods, as well as carefully controlling the size of portions.

Contraindications

The diet is forbidden for people suffering from high stomach acidity,chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and stomach, as well as a contraindication are adolescence.

During pregnancy and lactation
