Kefir diet

A kefir-based diet, in addition to losing extra pounds, brings invaluable benefits to the body. Kefir normalizes sleep and the functioning of the nervous system, has a mild diuretic effect, purifies the stomach and intestines, promotes the production of digestive juices and also quenches thirst. True, you need to remember that we are talking about real kefir, the same drink included in the list of the healthiest foods in the world. It is best to make kefir yourself with sourdough. But if there is no time, buy kefir in the store, keeping track of the production time. One-day kefir is good for the intestine, it is low in alcohol (an inevitable companion in the fermentation process) and in microbial content. Two-day kefir contains an optimal amount of enzymes and microorganisms. Three-day kefir contains the maximum amount of these substances, as well as carbon dioxide, which irritates the gastrointestinal mucosa.

Most nutritionists treat kefir very respectfully, which is quite justified, because it is a truly unique low-calorie product that is well absorbed by the body and contains a lot of useful substances for it. Nutritionists themselves and fans of all kinds of kefir diets and those who prefer light foods know that kefir is an excellent substitute for some poorly digested foods. For example, it can be successfully used as a salad dressing instead of sour cream or mayonnaise.

The mono-kefir or single-product version of this diet is considered the most effective today, but it is very difficult: only kefir is consumed for three days - 1. 5 liters per day for 5-6 doses at regular intervals. Kefir should be fat-free, preferably 1% and without additives. A strict kefir diet can contain several sweet vegetables, for example, 2-3 slices of stewed pumpkin. Compliance with this diet for 5 days will give the most favorable result: the body will be cleansed, at least 3-4 kg of excess weight will disappear, but in this case you may develop a persistent dislike for kefir.

Such a kefir diet is difficult precisely because it is just as difficult to get out of it as to start observing. Only those whose bodies are ideally prepared for such fluctuations in "energy supply" can try this diet. Also, consuming large amounts of this product for several days can cause intestinal upset. At the end of the kefir diet, a person, as a rule, dreams of only one thing - to eat enough! However, overeating can be very harmful to the body. It is for this reason that a number of nutritionists recommend approaching a strict diet on kefir, after consulting a doctor previously, and start with fasting days on kefir, because sometimes one fasting day per week can give better results thanto the monthly torture of the body.

There is also a gentler version of the kefir diet for those who are ready to give up their usual and favorite dishes for seven full days. This kefir diet is more caloric and varied than the mono kefir diet and is even believed to be more useful than many other mono diets.

In this variant, meat and fish in natural form are added to kefir in small quantities, that is, without salt, spices and other additives. The daily volume of kefir has changed slightly: 1-1. 5 liters for 5-6 doses.

Seven day kefir diet

• 1st day: 5 boiled or baked potato tubers + kefir.
• 2nd day: 100 g of boiled chicken breast, which can be substituted with turkey. Don't use broth.
• 3rd day: 100 g of lean boiled meat, without broth.
• 4th day: 100 g of boiled sea and lean fish: halibut, cod, plaice, navaga.
• 5th day: 1 kg of fruit and vegetables, divided over the whole day. It can be kiwi, fresh pineapple, apples, pears, persimmons, fresh cucumbers, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, squash, beets, but bananas and grapes should be completely excluded from the diet.
• 6th day: only kefir and the volume can be increased up to 2 liters.
• 7th day: at least 1. 5-2 liters of still mineral water throughout the day.

On the eighth day, you can return to your usual diet by limiting fatty, sugary and starchy foods. Kefir can still be included in the diet in the amount of 0. 5-1 liters per day between meals. It should be unsweetened and as fat-free as possible. You can "sit" on such a diet no more than 1 time in 2 months.

Diet based on Kefir "Star"

The Star Kefir Dietis slightly softer than the option above, but there are differences in the timing of this diet - it should alternate with weeks of your usual diet until you get the desired result. That is, a week of kefir diet, a week of regular meals with some restrictions, without bread, fatty, spicy and sweet foods.

The nutritional process consists of 6 meals a day at regular intervals: 8. 00, 10. 00, 12. 00, 14. 00, 16. 00 and 18. 00 - this is the last meal, after which it is notnot even advisable to drink water. The use of water, by the way, is quite limited: no more than 0. 5 liters per day, of course, boiled, unsweetened and still. Avid coffee lovers in the morning can 1 cup of coffee without sugar. However, they are still encouraged to get back on their feet and switch to tea, where there is almost the same amount of caffeine and the benefits are much greater.

Before starting the diet itself, it is recommended to perform an artificial bowel cleansing cycle. I must say that this procedure is unpleasant, but, you see, since it is necessary for the case, you can tolerate it. If you decide to use laxatives, you need to consult a doctor. Remember to always be very careful with medications.

• 1st day: 400 g unsalted baked potatoes + 500 ml lean 1% kefir.
• 2nd day: 400 g of low fat cottage cheese + 500 ml of kefir.
• 3rd day: 400 g of fruit, excluding bananas, grapes and persimmons, + 500 ml of 1% kefir.
• 4th day: 400 g of boiled chicken breasts without salt + 500 ml of 1% kefir.
• 5th day: 400 g of fruit, the same as on the 3rd day + 500 ml of 1% kefir.
• 6th day: 1. 5 liters of still mineral water.
• 7th day: 400 g of fruit + 500 ml of 1% kefir.

For enthusiasts who do not want to part with the diet regime and strengthen it a little, an option such as a nine-day diet on kefir with apples is also possible, which involves alternating kefir and apples for 9 days. The first three days you need to drink 1. 5-2 liters of kefir per day, the next three days, eat 1. 5 kg of apples per day, then again for three days kefir. Why apples, you ask? Yes, because in our middle lane with you, this particular fruit is the most popular and affordable, regardless of the season. And so far, there simply isn't a worthy replacement for him. The diet is really too hard. During use, you may experience dizziness and a feeling of weakness. If you experience these symptoms, add some cottage cheese or a boiled egg to your diet, make a fruit or vegetable salad. After all, teasing of one's body is clearly not included in the weight loss program.

And here is another version of the kefir diet, just like the previous one, built on the principle of alternation and designed for 9 days. A certain amount of food is calculated every three days. The first three days: 1% kefir in any quantity and 100 g of unsalted boiled rice per day. The next three days: 1% kefir and 100 g of boiled chicken breast even without salt per day. And the last three days: kefir and apples as much as you like.

Kefir is part of many diets. In the summer, when you have lots of fresh homemade cucumbers, you can try a kefir diet with cucumbers. A very effective diet, I must say, but again, not everyone will survive. Also, you shouldn't have any diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. To be on the safe side, a person confident in their health never hurts to see a doctor. If there are no health problems and you are absolutely not embarrassed by the combination of kefir and cucumbers, tune your body for seven days of active weight loss using this diet. By the way, in just one week you can get rid of 4-6 hated kilograms. All this time you need to drink only clean non-carbonated water, up to 1. 5 liters per day, and unsweetened green tea. Nutritionists also advise during this period to support the body with multivitamins with trace elements.

The kefir and buckwheat diet is designed for 7 days and consists of a very simple menu.

You can eat all the porridge you want in one day, naturally without salt, sugar and all. You need to cook it like this: in the evening, measure the required amount of buckwheat, fill it with boiling water, then literally after a couple of minutes, pour the water with a new portion of boiling water (1 cup. Cereal for 1, 5liters of boiling water). Carefully wrap a porridge saucepan in a blanket and leave it until morning. Since porridge can be eaten as much as the soul desires, it is guaranteed that the feeling of hunger will not torment you. The main rule is the last meal 4-5 hours before bedtime. Before going to bed, you can drink some kefir. During the day, the permissible rate of kefir is 1 liter. Of course, it shouldn't be greasy. It is best consumed 30 minutes before a meal or 30 minutes after. If you don't feel like eating dry, tasteless porridge, drink it or fill it with kefir. Now about the liquid. You need to drink at least 1. 5 liters of fluids per day. It can be green tea, plain water or sugar-free herbal tea. It is permissible to add lemon to them. Sometimes, no more than twice a day, you can pamper yourself with a cup of coffee or black tea, but it is not recommended to abuse these drinks.
