Kefir diet

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

თMain rules

Homeland of Kefir is the foothills of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is an excellent healing resort. It is very fair that this invigorating and healing drink appeared there. For a long time the secret of making kefir was little known and passed down from father to son in the family just as, for example, French cheese makers passed on the secret of making their own branded cheese. That is why the production of kefir began only recently - only in the early 20th century. And the legend of the appearance of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a wonderful and young graduate of a dairy school and an employee of a dairy company, accompanied by a partner, traveled to the North Caucasus to find out the secret of making kefir. But before this secret could be revealed, the prince of Karachay fell in love with the girl. They stayed in his palace for a whole month, walking around the villages and trying to extract kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate investigators decided to go home, but the horsemen who kidnapped the girl blocked the way. She came to her senses in an unfamiliar shrine when the prince was already standing next to her with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to marry her. But he was not there! The girl's partner appealed to law enforcement and the kidnapping case went to court. But the local judge did not want to ruin the relationship with the noble kefir tycoon and begged the girl to forgive him. He forgave, but in exchange for 4, 5 kg of dry kefir mushrooms.

What kefir is useful?

To make a kefir diet successful, you need to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its properties are the same as 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and its fat content and calories are lower, which, of course, is only useful for us.

Kefir production is controlled by the Interstate Standard (GOST), according to which 100 g of quality product must contain:

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

The shelf life of kefir is one of the indicators of its quality. The long shelf life indicates that its production used additives that inhibit the growth of microorganisms. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters it. Therefore, such fermented dairy products lose all their valuable properties when opened for a long shelf life and spoil in less than a day, even if refrigerated.

Things can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest way to replace kefir is with fermented milk drink with a similar composition and production method: fermented baked milk, natural yogurt without additives, iran - these are all excellent alternatives to kefir and are always on store shelves.

How long can you sit on a kefir diet?

Of course, only a doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to diet independently for a while, you need to start with your own feelings and well-being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If diet forces you to starve, there is an accident!Depression, dizziness, weaknessThen you need to change your diet.

In turn, the safest duration of the kefir diet is 3-5 days, provided that you carefully monitor your well-being.

On the question of how to properly sit on a kefir diet: Choose the highest quality, latest products that you are 100% sure of. Save for beginners if you decide to make your own kefir, or find a store nearby that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements so you don’t have to buy the first one you find.

How to prepare diet kefir?

Diet "Chicken, apples and kefir"

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

The first stage

For three days, eat only chicken, not more than 500 g per day. It is not recommended to roast chicken, it is better to bake it, of course, without oil and salt, or cook it. Divide into several portions to get 3-4 meals.

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

If the side effects seem insignificant and the result is satisfactory, we recommend that you try a longer kefir diet in the future, for example, for 4 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 cooked meat, vegetables, eggs, dried fruits. And, of course, drink up to 2 liters of kefir a day.

Wholly or partly limited products

Carbonated drinks are primarily prohibited in both the kefir diet and the classic non-dietary diet: they alter the body's acid-base balance, so the use of kefir will be useless, if not dangerous. This combination.

Exclude white bread and substitute whole grain or wholemeal bread. Within a week you will notice an external transformation of the skin, and after 2 months and figures.

Forget sausages, smoked meats, dried fruits and canned foods, purchased sweets for one simple reason: you can never know their true composition, the amount of salt, sugar, fat, or the quality of raw materials. Simply put, forget about the products that were prepared for you.

And the last thing you need to give up is alcohol. It is harmful to your body due to its high calorie content and dehydration.

Dietary dishes from kefir

Of course, most of the dishes where kefir is used are confectionery. It turns out airy, light, less caloric than when using sour cream.

Oatmeal Cake

You will need:

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

First prepare the oatmeal: Pour the grains into a deep bowl and pour the kefir for 40 minutes to spoil. Then pour boiling water over the raisins for 20 minutes to soften, dry the raisins with a towel. When the oatmeal is ready, add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

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

Diet pancakes with kefir

To reduce the caloric content of this breakfast fritter, you can also cook ground oatmeal instead of flour.

You will need:

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

Mix crushed oatmeal with kefir and leave for 20 minutes. Then add baking powder, honey and mix thoroughly. Bake the pancakes on a non-stick pan without adding oil until golden.

Recipe for diet kefir kefir

You will need:

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

Beat the chicken eggs, add a little salt, honey and flour mixed with baking soda. Stir and pour in the kefir. Stir well again so that no lumps remain and fry the pancakes in a non-stick pan without adding oil.

Such diet pancakes can be eaten without additives, or with low-fat cottage cheese with raisins or fruit. You will get a wonderful low-calorie dessert!

In case of an accident

In order not to miss a diet, you need to prepare properly for it. Nutritionists recommend that you start gradually reducing the number of calories consumed a week before the start of the diet: no more than 1400 kcal per day. Also, for a successful completion of the diet it is necessary to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance, so that a sharp transition to dietary foods does not become a big 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 mixes hunger and thirst.

However, if you have an accident while on a kefir diet, you certainly should not panic. Let me serve a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese and drink sweet tea. You can always stop and reunite and the best way to do that is through physical activity. Take a walk or stroll, then drink a glass of yogurt and return to the diet on the condition that you extend it for another day.

In addition, on the 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diets you can arrange the so-called "chitmil": a pre-planned day when you can have a small slice, be it a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of chips - something you love but refuse because of the dietYou say, but it is rare to organize such days. If you lose weight in 5 and 9 days, then "Chitmila" will be only once, but if it is 21 days, then there will not be more than three such days. Interference with "harm" on other days is strictly forbidden.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

Weight loss will be followed by fatigue and constant tiredness.

By no means relax, you are delighted with the transformed figure! It will be better to gradually increase the caloric content of the received food by introducing new food, as well as to strictly control the portion size.

Contraindications

Diet is prohibited for people with high stomach acidity,Chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and stomach, Is also a contraindication to adolescence.

During pregnancy and lactation

Diet is contraindicatedPregnancyAndBreastfeeding.

Kefir diet, pros and cons

As with any diet, it has its benefits and harms. However, kefir really brings more benefits than harms, with its prudent use.

Positive	Cons
High effectiveness of this method of weight loss, especially in conjunction with physical activity. Simple tolerance of the diet due to the rather complete composition of fermented dairy products. Gentle and natural cleansing of the body. Enrichment of the body with high quality proteins. Kefir can be easily replaced with other fermented milk drinks.	Prolonged diet can disrupt the digestive system: stomach upset, flatulence, bloating. The diuretic effect of kefir relieves swelling, but forces you to be constantly in the toilet room. Kefir should not be drunk by people with high stomach acidity, chronic gastritis, as well as children under 8 months.

Kefir diet, reviews and results

The method of losing weight on kefir is now very popular, as evidenced by numerous reviews of those who have lost weight, both positively and negatively. Basically, of course, both men and women say that it is an effective way to lose weight and even without improving the body.

• „. . . The reviews about the kefir diet for 3 days that I heard were very positive. Nothing complicated: drink kefir and lose weight. And, indeed, you lose weight perfectly! My weight was 75 kg, on the morning of the fourth day - 72, 3 kg. As for me, this is a good result! ";
• „. . . I am a lover of kefir diet and my main principle when I sit on it is to prepare kefir exclusively for yourself. The diet is based on the fact that you need live bacteria that help the stomach work properly. I always load on kefir once in 2 weeks. I decided to try a weekly program where we were promised to lose 10 kg in 7 days. Everything was done according to the description, there was no difficulty, honestly. Sometimes, of course, I wanted to eat, but I washed up the hunger with kefir or water. As a result, when I got up on the scales in the morning, after finishing the diet, the result was, of course, not minus 10 kg, but only 5 kg. But the despair did not start and I decided to continue the diet for 9 days. I gained 7. 5 kg in the end. Overall, I liked the result, besides, I did not strain much during this diet. Therefore, I recommend such a weight loss system ";
• „. . . I read a lot about the effectiveness of weight loss on kefir, I tried to unwind and sit on it for 9 days. Achieved a small result. And one forum advised fasting on kefir: perfect for losing weight on the abdomen, thighs, sides, legs, arms, and for general healing and cleansing of the body. The principle is that for 4 weeks you use only kefir, sometimes with fruits, vegetables, grains. I did not like the diet on one kefir, especially for a month, I just changed my mind after 1 week. I decided that for the whole month I could not feel weakness, weakness, I avoided activity. Therefore, I recommend you to sit on kefir for no more than 9 days.

In general, a kefir diet can be very cheap and simple, healthy and wholesome. Therefore, if you want to say goodbye to extra pounds, kefir diet is the best option!
