Kefir diet

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

General provisions

The birthplace of Kefir is at the foot of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a great health resort. It is very fair that this invigorating and healing drink appeared there. For a long time, the secret of making kefir was known to some and passed down from father to son in the family, just as, for example, French cheese makers passed on the secrets of making their own cheese. Therefore, kefir production began only recently - in the early 20th century. And the very legend about the appearance of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful and young graduate of a dairy school and an employee of a dairy processing company, accompanied by a partner, went to the North Caucasus to find out the secret of making kefir. However, before this secret was revealed, the prince of Karachay fell in love with the girl. They stayed in his mansion for a whole month, traveling through the villages and trying to get kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate investigators decided to go home, but the riders who abducted the girl blocked their way. She came to mind in an unknown shrine when the prince was already standing next to her with a bouquet of beautiful flowers and offered to become his wife. But it wasn't there! The girl's partner went to law enforcement and the abduction case went to court. However, the local judge did not want to damage the relationship with the noble kefir tycoon and asked for the girl's forgiveness. She added, but in exchange for 4, 5 kg of dry kefir mushrooms.

What kind of kefir is useful?

For a kefir diet to be successful, 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g) should be used. Its properties are the same as 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat and calorie content is lower, which, of course, we are only in favor of.

The production of kefir is controlled by an international standard (GOST), according to which 100 g of 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. The long shelf life shows that additives that prevent the development of microorganisms were used in its production. Bacteria sleep in this kefir until the bottle is opened and oxygen is released. Therefore, such fermented dairy products with a long shelf life lose all their valuable properties when opened and spoil in less than a day, even 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 fried milk, natural yoghurt without additives, airan - all this is a great alternative to kefir and is always on store shelves.

How long can you sit on a kefir diet?

Of course, only a doctor can determine the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to follow a diet for a while, you should start with your feelings and well-being. First, the diet is designed to benefit you. If diet causes you to starve, there is a breakdowndepression, dizziness, faintingthen you need to change your diet.

On the other hand, the safest duration of the kefir diet is 3-5 days, as long as you carefully control your well-being.

To the question of how to properly sit on a kefir diet: choose the highest quality, freshest products you are 100% sure of. If you decide to make your own kefir, stock up on beginners or find a nutritionally friendly kefir store nearby so you don't buy the first one.

How to make dietary kefir?

In addition to the usual kefir, you can and even need to make various kefir cocktails to make the slimming process more efficient. In addition, you can enjoy such cocktails with your classic, non-diet menu.

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

• 200 ml of kefir 1%;
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon;
• a pinch of red hot pepper;

The secret of this kefir lies in your imagination. You can add anything: cucumbers, greens, oatmeal, fruit, dried fruit. The ingredients can be chopped in a blender, they can be simply cut and added to the kefir. Here you can experiment as you wish, the key is with authorized and compatible products.

Kefir monodet has a huge number of menu options and duration options. Only you can choose the most suitable for your body. But, believe me, all the options offered are effective and in a way useful.

Such a diet is intended and indicated for both men and women, if they do not suffer from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, kidney, liver, heart diseases, increased gastric acidity, chronic diseases.

Chicken, apples and kefir diet

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

The first stage

For three days you eat only chicken, no more than 500 g per day. Chicken meat is not recommended to fry, it is best to fry without oil and salt, of course, or cook. Divide into several portions to prepare 3-4 meals.

The second phase

Here you need to eat only apples in any form: you can fresh, you can fry. It is recommended to eat green sour apples here: they contain less carbohydrates.

The third stage

In the last stage of the diet you should drink only 1% fat kefir in any amount. It will be ideal if you drink a kefir cocktail with cinnamon and ginger, the recipe of which is given above, at least once a day.

Kefir diet for 3 days

This diet helps to get rid of 3-5 kg of excess weight in a short time and gently cleanses the body. For 3 days every day should drink 1, 5-2 liters of kefir, divided into several meals. If the body does not suffer from such a monotonous diet, you can add no more than 1 kg of vegetables or fruits to the menu.

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

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

A 4-day diet may look like a 3-day diet, but a 5-day diet should already be more varied. During the day you can eat small amounts of boiled meat, vegetables, eggs, dried fruits, fruits. And, of course, drink up to 2 liters of kefir every day.

". . . I consider kefir to be a real lifeline for those who are overweight, and reviews of its benefits are only positive. It is easy to lose weight with kefir, because 100 g contains no more than 50 kcal, and it may well suffice. In general, in recent months I have fallen in love with kefir, consistently fasted once a week, and often use the kefir diet for 3 days: with its help I lost 2. 5 kg, my body perfectly cleansed!

Kefir diet for 7 days

With a kefir diet, losing 10 kg of weight in 7 days is entirely possible. The key is to follow the basic principles of this fast weight loss method:

• the main product is kefir, in addition - low-calorie protein products;
• it is necessary to follow a strict daily routine - 5-6 meals every 2 hours;
• you can't limit yourself to plain purified water and green or herbal tea.

The fifth day	400 g of unsweetened fruit.
The sixth day	1, 5-2 liters of purified water; weak tea without sugar.
The seventh day	400 g of unsweetened fruit.

Every day (except the sixth day) you need to drink 1, 5 liters of kefir 1%.

Protein kefir diet

In a row according to the same scheme, but two days of fruit will need to be replaced by days of meat: you will eat 400 g of chicken or turkey fillets, steamed, boiled or fried. It is worth remembering that salt can not be used, but the taste of food can be improved with the help of aromatic herbs (basil, rosemary, mint), herbs.

Of course, you can focus on the "hungry" version of the seven-day diet. Here you should drink up to 2 liters of kefir every day and reduce the portions of additional products to 100 g.

So it is easy to achieve great transformations with a kefir diet in a week, losing weight up to 10 kg.

What to say, it's unbearable. either my body is not adapted to such torture, or the diet is difficult, but on the first day of the apple I broke, and for 3 days with the chicken gave absolutely no results, nothing to brag about ";
• ". . . I decided to try a diet where, in addition to kefir, you can eat buckwheat, chicken and apples, mixed. All 9 days passed quite easily, the main thing to take up and not think about food.

Completely or partially restricted products

In the first place, the products that are banned during both the kefir diet and the classic non-dietary diet are carbonated drinks: they change the body's acid-base balance, so the use of kefir will be useless if not dangerous.

Turn off white bread and replace it with wholemeal or cereal bread. After a week you will notice the external skin changes, and after 2 months - and the numbers.

Forget about sausages, smoked meats, dried and canned food, purchased sweets for one simple reason: you will never know their true composition, salt, sugar, fat content or track the quality of raw materials. Simply put, forget about the products that you have prepared.

And the last thing to give up is alcohol. It is harmful to your body because it is high in calories and dehydrates the body.

Dietary dishes made from kefir

Of course, most dishes that use kefir are pastries. This makes it airy, light, with fewer calories than sour cream.

Oatmeal cookies

You will need:

• 300 ml of kefir 1% fat;
• 100 g of raisins;
• 300 g of oatmeal;
• 20 g butter;
• 2 tablespoons honey;
• a pinch of cinnamon;
• pinch of vanilla.

First prepare the oatmeal: pour the flakes into a deep bowl and pour kefir for 40 minutes to swell. Then sprinkle the raisins with boiling water for 20 minutes to soften, dry with a tissue. When the oatmeal is ready, add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

Make a cookie: it should not be too flat. Place on a baking sheet greased with butter and send to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Dietary pancakes on kefir

To reduce the caloric content of these breakfast pans, you can also make them with chopped oatmeal instead of flour.

You will need:

• 50 g of oatmeal;
• 80 ml of kefir 1% fat;
• 1 chicken cave;
• ¼ teaspoons of baking powder;
• 2 teaspoons honey.

The chopped oatmeal is mixed with kefir and left to infuse for 20 minutes. Then add the baking powder, honey and mix thoroughly. Bake the pancakes in a non - stick pan without adding oil until they turn golden brown.

Recipe for dietary pancakes on kefir

You will need:

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

Beat the chicken eggs, add a pinch of salt, honey and flour mixed with soda. Stir and pour the kefir. Stir well again so that there are no lumps and bake the pancakes in a non-stick pan without adding oil.

Such dietary pancakes can be served without additives, or filled with non-fat cottage cheese with raisins or fruit. You'll get a great low-calorie dessert!

In case of damage

To avoid falling out of the diet, it must be properly prepared. Nutritionists recommend starting a week before the start of the right diet to gradually reduce the number of calories consumed: no more than 1, 400 kcal per day. Successful dieting also requires the removal of harmful foods from the diet in advance, so that the rapid transition to dietary food does not become a huge stress: pastries, sweets, fried foods and salts.

And one of the key 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.

However, if the kefir diet collapsed, you should definitely not panic. Let 's eat a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese and drink sweet tea. You can always stop and get together, and the best way to do that is to exercise. Go for a run or a walk, then drink a glass of yogurt and return to your diet, provided you extend it for another day.

In addition, in the kefir diets for 5, 9 and 21 days you can arrange for yourself the so-called "chitmill": a pre-planned day when you can afford a little weakness, be it a piece of chocolate, a sausage, a handful of chips - something you really love, but dietbecause of that you give it up. But such days are rarely organized. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, then "chitmill" will be only once, but if 21 days, then there will be no more than three such days. In addition, if you decide to include "chitmill" in your diet, intercepting "harm" on other days is strictly prohibited.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

Losing weight can quickly return to you, sometimes doubling if you do not follow a proper diet.

Never relax while admiring the transformed figure! It is best to gradually increase the caloric content of the food you eat by introducing new foods, as well as strictly control the portion size.

Contraindications

Diet is forbidden for people with high stomach acidity,chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer, as well as a contraindication to adolescence.

During pregnancy and lactation

Diet is contraindicatedpregnancyandbreastfeeding.
