Kefir diet

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

General rules

The birthplace of kefir is the foot of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a great health resort. It is right that this invigorating and healing drink appeared there. The secret of making kefir has been known for a long time and was passed down in the family from father to son in the same way as, for example, French cheesemakers passed on the secrets of making their recognizable cheese. That is why kefir began to be produced very recently - only at the beginning of the 20th century. The legend of the appearance of this fermented dairy product is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful and young graduate of a dairy school and an employee of a dairy company went, accompanied by a partner, to the North Caucasus to discover the secret of making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, the Karachay prince fell in love with the girl. They stayed in his yards for a whole month, traveling through the villages and trying to get kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the investigators decided to go home, but the horsemen who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. She came to her senses in an unknown shrine, when the prince was already standing beside her with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to become his wife. But he wasn't there! The girl's partner contacted police officers, and the abduction case went to court. But the local judge did not want to spoil the relationship 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?

In order for the kefir diet to be successful, it is necessary to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). The properties are the same as those of 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat and calorie content are lower, which, of course, is in our favor.

Kefir production is controlled by the interstate 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 indicates that additives that prevent the development of microorganisms have been used in its production. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters it. Therefore, such fermented dairy products with a long shelf life, when opened, lose all their valuable properties and decay in less than a day, even if they are in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest option to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and method of production: fermented baked 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 your doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to stick to your diet for a while, you should start from your own feelings and well-being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If you suffer from hunger because of a child, there is a breakdown,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you have to change your diet.

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

When asked how to properly sit on a kefir diet: choose the highest quality, freshest products that you are 100% sure of. Get appetizers 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 cook diet kefir?

In addition to the usual kefir, you can and even need to prepare various kefir cocktails to make the weight loss process more effective. In addition, you can drink such cocktails by 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 cinnamon;
• a pinch of red hot pepper;
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger root.

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:

The first phase

Completely or partially restricted products

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

Take out the white bread and replace it with whole grain bread or cereals. In a week, you will notice the external transformation of the skin, and after 2 months, the figure.

Forget about sausages, dried meat, dry and canned food, purchased sweets for one simple reason: you will never know their actual composition, amount of salt, sugar, fat, and you will not even trace the quality of raw materials. Simply forget about those products that are prepared for you.

And the last thing you need 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.

Kefir diet dishes

Of course, most dishes that use kefir are pastries. In addition, it turns out airy, light, less caloric than when sour cream is used.

Oatmeal cookies

you will need:

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

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

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

Diet pancakes with kefir

To reduce the caloric content of these fritters for breakfast, you can also cook them with ground oatmeal instead of flour.

you will need:

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

Mix the ground oatmeal with the kefir and let it cook for 20 minutes. Then add baking powder, honey and mix well. Fry the pancakes in a pan without adding oil until golden brown.

Recipe for diet pancakes with kefir

you will need:

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

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

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

In case of failure

In order not to fall with a child, you need to properly prepare for it. Nutritionists advise a week before the start of the actual diet to begin to gradually reduce the number of calories consumed: no more than 1400 kcal per day. Also, for the successful completion of the diet it is necessary to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance so that a sharp transition to diet foods would not become a big 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 there is a breakdown during the kefir diet, you should definitely not panic. Have a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese and drink sweet tea. You can always stop and gather, and the best way to do that is physical activity. 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, on the 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diet you can organize a so-called "reading room": a pre-planned day when you can afford a little weakness, whether it's a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of chips - something you love, but becausechild you refuse it. But organizing such days is a rarity. If you lose weight in 5 and 9 days, then the "reading room" will be only once, but if it is 21 days, then there will not be more than three such days. In addition, if you decide to introduce a "grinder" into your diet, intercepting "harmfulness" on other days is strictly forbidden.

How to get out of kefir diet?

Lost weight can come back to you quickly, sometimes doubled, if you neglect proper nutrition after dieting.

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

Contraindications

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

During pregnancy and breastfeeding

Diet is contraindicatedpregnancyibreastfeeding.

• ". . . I am a fan of kefir diet and my main principle when I sit on it is to cook kefir exclusively by myself. After all, the diet is based on the fact that live bacteria are needed to help the stomach work properly. Once in 2 weeks I always unloadon kefir. I decided to try the weekly program, where I was promised to lose 10 kg in 7 days. Everything was done according to the description, there were no difficulties, honestly. Sometimes, of course, I wanted to eat, but I washed my hunger with kefir or waterAs a result, when I stood on the scales in the morning, after finishing the diet, the results were, of course, not minus 10 kg, but only 5 kg. But I did not despair and decided to extend the diet to 9 days. I ended up losing weight 7, 5 kg. In general, I liked the result, plus I did not put much effort during this diet. Therefore, I recommend such a weight loss system ";
• ". . . I read a lot about the effectiveness of weight loss on kefir, tried to unload and sit on it for 9 days. Achieved small results. And one forum advised fasting on kefir: great for weight loss on the stomach, hips, hips, legs, arms, and for general treatment and cleansing of the body. The principle is to use only kefir for 4 weeks, sometimes with fruits, vegetables, cereals. On one kefir diet, especially for a month, did not suit me, I just changed my mind to do it after 1 week.
