Kefir diet

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

General rules

Kefir is born 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 little known, and, for example, it was passed from father to son in the family, as French cheese makers passed on the secrets of making their own signature cheese. Therefore, kefir began to be produced very recently - only in the early 20th century. And 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, he went to the north of the Caucasus, accompanied by his partner, to learn the secrets of making kefir. But this unsolved mystery of the Karachay prince falls in love with the girl. They stayed on his estates for a month, toured the villages and tried to buy kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate investigators decided to go home, but the horsemen who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. He came to himself in a shrine he did not know, when the prince was standing next to him with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to be his wife. But it was not there! The girl's partner appealed to law enforcement agencies, and the abduction case went to court. However, the local judge did not want to spoil the relationship with the noble kefir tycoon and asked the girl to forgive him. Forgive, but instead of 4, 5 kg of dried kefir mushrooms.

Which kefir is useful?

To make your 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 have a lower fat content and calorie content, which, of course, is only in our favor.

Kefir production is regulated by the Interstate Standard (GOST), so 100 g of quality product must contain the following:

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

The shelf life of kefir is one of its quality indicators. Its long shelf life indicates the use of additives in its production that prevent the growth of microorganisms. The bacteria in this kefir lie dormant until the bottle opens and oxygen enters. Therefore, even fermented dairy products with a long shelf life lose all their valuable properties and spoil in less than a day, even if they are refrigerated when opened.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest way to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and method of production: fermented baked milk, plain natural yogurt, buttermilk - 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, the duration of any diet can only be determined by your doctor. But if you decide 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 your diet makes you suffer from hunger,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you need to change your diet.

In turn, the safest time for a kefir diet is 3-5 days, if you carefully manage your well-being.

To the question of how to properly sit on a kefir diet: choose the highest quality, freshest products that you are 100% sure of. If you decide to make your own kefir, save for beginners or find a nearby kefir store that meets your dietary requirements so you don't buy the kefir you first see.

How to cook diet kefir?

In addition to regular 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.

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

Completely or partially limited products

Among the products banned in both the kefir diet and the classic non-diet, carbonated drinks are the first: they change the acid-base balance of the body, so the use of kefir will be useless if it is not dangerous. this combination.

Remove white bread and replace it with whole grain or whole grain bread. After a week you will see the external transformation of the skin, and after 2 months you will see the figures.

For one simple reason, forget about sausages, smoked meats, dried and canned foods, purchased sweets: you will never know their true composition, the amount of salt, sugar, fat and the quality of raw materials. Simply forget the products made for you.

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

Diet dishes from kefir

Of course, most of the dishes that use kefir are pastries. Thus, sour cream is airy, light and low in calories.

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 honey;
• a pinch of cinnamon;
• a pinch of vanilla.

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

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

Diet pancakes in kefir

To reduce the calories of these breakfast pies, 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 baking powder;
• 2 teaspoons honey.

Mix mashed oatmeal with kefir and infuse for 20 minutes. Then add the baking powder, honey and mix thoroughly. Fry the pancakes in a non-stick pan until golden brown without adding oil.

Recipe for diet pancakes in 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 teaspoon soda.

Beat chicken eggs, add a pinch of flour mixed with salt, honey and 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.

You can serve such diet pancakes without additives or fill them with low-fat cottage cheese with raisins or fruit. You will get an excellent low-calorie dessert!

In case of breakage

You need to prepare properly so that you do not fall off the diet. Dietitians recommend starting to gradually reduce the number of calories consumed a week before the start of the actual diet: no more than 1400 kcal per day. In addition, for the successful completion of the diet, it is necessary to eliminate harmful foods from the diet in advance so that the sharp transition to a diet does not turn into a great stress: dough, sweets, fried and salty.

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 glass of weak green tea, because the human body often mixes hunger and thirst.

But if there is a violation of the kefir diet, of course, there should be no panic. Eat butter, sausage and cheese sandwiches, drink sweet tea. You can always stand and pull yourself together, and the best way to do that is through physical activity. Go for a run or a walk, then drink a glass of yogurt and return to the diet on the condition of prolonging it for another day.

In addition, you can organize a so-called "chitmill" for yourself in the 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diets: a piece of chocolate, sausage, a pre-planned day where you can afford a small weakness. a handful of chips - something you love very much, but you give it up due to diet. But the organization of such days is rare. If you lose weight in 5 and 9 days, the "chitmill" will be only once, but if it is 21 days, no more than three such days. In addition, if you decide to include "chitmill" in your diet, it is strictly forbidden to capture the "harmful" on other days.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

If you do not pay attention to proper nutrition after the diet, the lost weight can quickly return to you, sometimes doubling.

By no means do I want to convey that I recommend for the mother to be inactive. By introducing new foods, it would be good to increase the caloric content of the food very gradually, as well as to strictly control the size of the portions.

Contraindications

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

During pregnancy and lactation

Diet is contraindicatedpregnancyandbreastfeeding.
