Kefir diet

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

General rules

The birthplace of kefir is at the foot of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is an excellent health resort. It is very fitting that this invigorating and healing drink appeared there. For a long time, the secret to making kefir was known to few and was passed down in the family from father to son in the same way, for example, of the French cheesemakers who handed down the secrets of making their signature cheese. That is why kefir began to be produced quite recently, only at the beginning of the 20th century. And the very legend of the appearance of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful young graduate of a dairy school and an employee of a dairy company traveled to the North Caucasus, accompanied by a partner, to discover the secret of making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, Prince Karachai fell in love with the girl. For a whole month they stayed in her mansions, traveled around the villages and tried to get kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the researchers decided to return home, but the knights who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. Of her He came to himself in an unknown sanctuary, when the prince was already standing next to her with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to become her wife. But it wasn't there! The girl's partner went to law enforcement and the kidnapping case went to court. But the local judge did not want to spoil relations with the noble kefir magnate and begged the girl to forgive him. She forgave, but in exchange for 4, 5 kg of dried kefir mushrooms.

Which kefir is useful?

To make the kefir diet a success, 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 the fat content and calorie content are lower, which, of course, is only to our advantage.

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

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

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

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The simplest option to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and production method: fermented cooked milk, natural yogurt without additives, ayran - 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 the doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide on your own to go on a diet for a while, you should start with your feelings and well-being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet makes you hungry, there is a collapse,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you have to change your diet.

In turn, the safest duration for a kefir diet is 3-5 days, as long as you monitor your well-being carefully.

When asked how to properly follow a kefir diet: choose the freshest, highest quality products that you are 100% sure of. Stock up on appetizers if you decide to make your own kefir or find a shop nearby that sells kefir that meets dietary needs so you don't buy the first one you see.

How to cook diet kefir?

In addition to the usual kefir, you can and even need to prepare various kefir cocktails so that the weight loss process is more effective. Also, 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 of 1% kefir;
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon;
• a pinch of red pepper;
• 2 teaspoons of chopped ginger root.

Kefir with a secret

The secret of such kefir lies in your imagination. You can add anything: cucumber, herbs, oatmeal, fruit, nuts. The ingredients can be chopped in a blender, you can simply cut them and add them to the kefir. Here you can experiment to your liking, the main thing is with permitted and compatible products.

Variety

The Mono Kefir Diet has a huge number of menu options and duration options. Only you can choose the best one for your body. But, believe me, all the proposed options are effective and useful in their own way.

Such a diet is intended and indicated for both men and women, if they do not suffer from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, diseases of the kidneys, liver, heart, high acidity of the stomach and 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 of these foods separately:

First stage

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

Second phase

Here you just need to eat apples in any form - you can fresh, you can bake. Here the consumption of sour green apples is recommended - they contain less carbohydrates.

Third stage

At the last stage of the diet, you need to drink only 1% fat kefir in any quantity. It will be ideal if you drink a kefir cocktail with cinnamon and ginger at least once a day, the recipe of which is presented above.

Kefir diet for 3 days

This diet option helps to get rid of 3-5 kg of excess weight and gently cleanse the body in a short time. For 3 days, you need to drink 1. 5-2 liters of kefir per day, spreading it over several meals. If your body does not tolerate such a monotonous diet, then you can not add more than 1 kg of fruits or vegetables to the menu.

The 3-day kefir diet has one drawback - there may be 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 afterwards, for example for 4 or 5 days.

A 4-day diet may seem the same as a 3-day diet, but a 5-day diet should already be more varied. During the day you can eat boiled, vegetables, eggs, dried fruit, fruit in small quantities. And, of course, drink up to 2 liters of kefir per day.

". . . I consider kefir the real salvation for those who are overweight, and reviews about its benefits are only positive. It is easy to lose weight with kefir, because 100 g contains no more than 50 kcal, and you can have quite a lot of it. In general, in recent months I have fallen in love with kefir, I constantly fast on it once a week and often use a kefir diet for 3 days: with its help I lost 2. 5 kg, my body perfectly clean!

Products totally or partially subject to restriction

In the first place among the products that are prohibited both during the kefir diet and the classic non-dietary diet are carbonated drinks: they alter the acid-base balance of the organism, so the use of kefir will be useless, if not dangerous in this combination.

Eliminate white bread and replace it with wholemeal or cereal bread. In a week you will notice the external transformation of the skin and after 2 months and the figures.

Forget sausages, smoked meats, dry and canned foods, sweets purchased 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 the raw materials. Simply put, forget about those 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.

Dietary kefir dishes

Of course, most of the dishes in which kefir is used are pastries. With it, it turns out to be airy, light, less caloric than when using sour cream.

Oatmeal cookies

You will need:

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

First, he prepares the oatmeal: pour the cereal into a deep bowl and pour the kefir for 40 minutes to swell. Next, pour boiling water over the raisins for 20 minutes to soften it, dry the raisins with a napkin. When the oatmeal is ready, add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

Form a biscuit: it must not be too flat. Put on a baking sheet greased with butter and send in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Diet pancakes on kefir

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

You will need:

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

Mix the crushed oatmeal with the kefir and let it brew for 20 minutes. Then add the yeast, honey and mix thoroughly. Fry the pancakes in a non-stick pan without adding oil until golden brown.

Recipe for diet pancakes on kefir

You will need:

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

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

You can serve such diet pancakes without additives, or you can stuff them with fat-free cottage cheese with raisins or fruit. You will get a great low calorie dessert!

In case of failure

In order not to fall from the diet, you need to properly prepare. Nutritionists advise a week before the start of the actual diet to start gradually reducing the number of calories consumed: no more than 1400 kcal per day. In addition, in order to successfully complete the diet, it is necessary to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance so that a sharp switch to dietary food does not become a huge stress - pastries, 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.

However, if a breakdown has occurred during the kefir diet, you should certainly not panic. Have a butter, sausage and cheese sandwich and have a sweet tea. You can always stop and get back on your feet, and the best way to do this is through physical activity. Go for a run or walk, then have a glass of yogurt and go back to the diet provided you extend it for another day.

Also, in the 5, 9 and 21 day kefir diets, you can arrange the so-called "chitmill" yourself - a pre-planned day where you can afford a little weakness, be it a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of chips - something you love very much, but because of the diet you reject it. But organizing days like this is rare. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, the "chitmill" will only be once, but if it's 21 days, there won't be more than three of these days. Furthermore, if you decide to introduce a "chitmill" in your diet, it is strictly forbidden to intercept the "harmfulness" on other days.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

The lost weight can quickly come back to you, sometimes doubled, if you ignore a proper diet after a diet.

In no case do not relax, admiring the transformed figure! It would be better to very gradually increase the calorie content of the food consumed by introducing new foods, as well as strictly control the portion sizes.

Contraindications

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

During pregnancy and breastfeeding
