kefir diet

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

General rules

The birthplace of kefir is at the foot of Mount Elbrus, and the Caucasus is an excellent health resort. It's only fair that this refreshing drink is there. The secret to making kefir has long been known to a few and passed down the family from father to son, just as French cheesemakers teach the secrets of making their signature cheese. That's why kefir production has only recently started - only in the early 20th century. And the legend of the emergence of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful and young dairy school graduate and employee of a dairy company, accompanied by a partner, traveled to the northern Caucasus to find out the secrets of making kefir. But before the secret is revealed, Prince Karachai falls in love with the girl. They lived in his mansion for a whole month, walking around the village trying to get kefir. But their efforts were in vain. In desperation, the researchers decided to go home, but the cavalry who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. She came to her senses in an unfamiliar temple, when the prince was already standing beside her, holding a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, and offering to be his wife. But it's not there! The girl's partner turns to law enforcement for help, and the kidnapping case goes to court. But the local judge did not want to spoil the relationship with the noble kefir tycoon and begged the girl to forgive him. She forgave her in exchange for 4. 5kg of dried kefir.

What kefir is useful for?

For the kefir diet to be successful, you need to use 1% kefir (40 calories per 100 grams). It has the same properties as 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100g) with less fat and calories, which is of course just our advantage.

The production of kefir is governed by the Interstate Standard (GOST), according to which a 100-gram quality product must contain:

• 2. 8 grams of 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 growth of microorganisms are used in the production process. The bacteria in this kefir will sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters it. Therefore, this long shelf life fermented dairy product loses all its valuable properties and spoils in less than a day after opening, even in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest alternatives to kefir are fermented milk beverages with similar ingredients and production methods: fermented bakery milk, natural yogurt without additives, ayran - all of these are great alternatives to kefir and are alwayson store shelves.

How long can you sit on the kefir diet?

Of course, only your doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to stick to the diet for a while, you should start with your own feelings and well-being. First, the diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet makes you hungry, you have a breakdown,Depression, dizziness, faintingThen you need to change your diet.

Conversely, if you carefully control your health, the safest duration of a kefir diet is 3-5 days.

Question on how to properly sit on the kefir diet: choose the highest quality, freshest produce you are 100% sure about. If you decide to make your own kefir, stock up on appetizers, or find a store nearby that sells dietary kefir so you don't buy the first kefir you see.

How to cook weight loss kefir?

In addition to the usual kefir, you can even need to prepare various kefir cocktails to make the weight loss process more effective. Plus, you can drink these cocktails while sticking to the classic no-diet menu.

Fully or partially restricted products

On the kefir diet and the classic non-diet diet, the first products to ban are carbonated drinks: they alter the body's acid-base balance, so use kefir even in this combination.

Skip the white bread and replace it with whole-wheat or cereal bread. Within a week, you will notice external changes in the skin, and after 2 months, and numbers.

Forget sausages, bacon, dry and canned goods, and buy candy for one simple reason: you'll never know what their actual ingredients, salt, sugar, fat content, or track the quality of the raw materials. Simply put, forget about products that are made for you.

The last thing to give up is alcohol. It is bad for your body because it is high in calories and it dehydrates the body.

kefir diet dishes

Of course, most dishes that use kefir are pastries. With it, it becomes airy, light, and low in calories compared to when using sour cream.

Oatmeal Cookies

You will need:

• 300 ml 1% fat kefir;
• 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 oatmeal into a deep bowl and pour in the kefir for 40 minutes to rise. Next, pour boiling water over the raisins for 20 minutes to soften, then dry the raisins with a napkin. When the oatmeal is ready, add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

Form a cookie: it should not be too flat. Place on a buttered baking sheet and transfer to a preheated 180 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

Weight Loss Pancakes on Kefir

To cut down on the calorie content of these breakfast fritters, you can also cook them with shredded oatmeal instead of flour.

You will need:

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

Mix crushed oatmeal with kefir and cook for 20 minutes. Next, add the baking powder, honey and mix well. Fry the pancakes in a nonstick pan until golden brown without oil.

Kefir Weight Loss Pancakes Recipe

You will need:

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

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

You can serve diet pancakes like this without additives, or you can fill them with raisins or fruit-based fat-free cottage cheese. You'll get an excellent low-calorie dessert!

In case of failure

In order to stay on your diet, you need to be properly prepared for it. Nutritionists recommend gradually reducing the number of calories you consume a week before your actual diet begins: no more than 1, 400 calories per day. In addition, in order to diet successfully, harmful foods need to be excluded from the diet in advance so that the sudden transition to diet foods does not become a huge stress: pastries, sweets, fried and salty.

One of the key points is water. It is advisable to get used to a cup of warm water or a cup of light green tea to quench hunger, as the human body often confuses hunger and thirst.

However, you certainly shouldn't panic if something goes wrong during the kefir diet. Let you eat sandwiches with butter, sausage and cheese and drink sweet tea. You can always stop and cheer up, and the best way to do that is through physical activity. Go for a run or a walk, then drink a cup of yogurt and resume your diet, provided you extend it for another day.

Also, on the 5, 9 and 21 days of the kefir diet, you can set yourself up with what is called a "chitmill": a pre-planned day when you can take a small weakness, be it a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of fries - something you love but you refuse because of your diet. But organizations like this are rare. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, then the "chitmill" is only once, but if it is 21 days, there will be no more than 3 such days. Also, if you decide to introduce "chitmill" into your diet, it is strictly forbidden to intercept "harmful" on other days.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

If you ignore a proper diet after a diet, your weight will return quickly after losing weight, sometimes even doubling.

Do not relax under any circumstances and admire the shape-shifting figure! It's best to gradually increase the calories of the foods you eat by introducing new foods, and to strictly control portion sizes.

Contraindications

Those with hyperacidity should not eat,Chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and stomach, and the contraindication is puberty.
