Kefir diet

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

General rules

The birthplace of kefir is the roots of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a great health resort. It is very fair that this refreshing and healing drink appears there. The secret to making kefir has long been well known to few and passed down from family to father in the same way that, for example, French cheese makers shared the secret of making their own cheese. That's why kefir started producing fairly recently - only in the early 20th century. And the myth of the appearance of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful and young graduate of a dairy school and an employee of a dairy company went to the northern part of the Caucasus with friends to find out the secret to making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, Prince Karachai fell in love with the girl. For a whole month they stayed in his mansions, toured the villages, and tried to catch kefir mushrooms. But their attempts were unsuccessful. In desperation, the investigators decided to go home, but the horsemen who abducted the girl blocked their way. She came to her senses in a strange shrine, when the prince stood beside her with a magnificent bouquet and offered to become his wife. But it was not there! The girl's partner approached police and took the kidnapping case to court. But the local judge did not want to ruin the relationship with the noble kefirman and asked the girl to forgive him. She forgave, but in exchange for 4, 5 kg of dry kefir mushrooms.

Which kefir is useful?

To make your kefir diet effective, 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 is less, which of course is only to our advantage.

Kefir production is governed by the International Standard (GOST), where 100 g of quality products must contain:

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

The shelf life of kefir is one of the indicators of its quality. Long shelf life indicates that additives have been used in its production to prevent the development of micro-organisms. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters it. As a result, such fermented dairy products with a long shelf life, when opened, lose all their valuable properties and deteriorate in less than a day, even when refrigerated.

What can replace kefir in your diet?

The easiest option to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and production method: 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 length of any diet. However, if you decide on your own to stick to your diet for a while, you should start with your own feelings and well-being. First, the diet is designed to benefit you. If your diet causes you to suffer from hunger, then there is a breakdown,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you need to change your diet.

On the other hand, the safest duration for a kefir diet is 3-5 days, provided you control your well-being carefully.

To the question of how to sit right on a kefir diet: choose the highest quality, freshest products that you are 100% sure of. Avoid starters if you decide to make your own kefir, or find a store nearby that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements so you do not buy the first thing you see.

How to cook kefir diet?

In addition to regular kefir, you can and even need to make various kefir cocktails to make weight loss more effective. In addition, you can drink such cocktails while following your classic menu without dieting.

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

To prepare such a fat-burning cocktail, you need:

• 200 ml of kefir 1%;
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon;
• pinch of red hot pepper;
• 2 teaspoons chopped ginger root.

Kefir with a secret

The secret of such kefir lies in the imagination. You can add anything: cucumber, herbs, oatmeal, fruit, dried fruit. You can chop the ingredients in a blender, you can simply cut and add kefir. Here you can experiment as you like, the main thing is with permissible and compatible products.

Variation

Kefir mono-diet has a large number of menu options and duration options. Only you can choose the best for your body. But believe me, all the proposed options are effective and useful in their own way.

Such a diet is intended and intended 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.

Diet "Chicken, apples and kefir"

A simple and very popular variation of the diet is based on the fact that every 3 days you eat all these foods separately:

First stage

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

Second stage

Here you only need to eat apples in any form: you can fresh, you can bake. Here, green pickled apples are recommended for consumption: they contain fewer carbohydrates.

Third level

At the last stage of the diet, you need to drink only 1% fat kefir in any amount. 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 daily and spread it over several meals. If your body does not tolerate such a monotonous diet, you can add no more than 1 kg of vegetables or fruits to the menu.

The 3 day kefir diet has one drawback - it can be a bit of an inconvenience,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, for example for 4 days or 5 days.

A 4-day diet may look like a 3-day diet, but a 5-day diet should already be more varied. During the day you can eat boiled meat, vegetables, eggs, dried fruits, fruits in small quantities. And, of course, drink up to 2 liters of kefir daily.

„. . . I see kefir as a real salvation for those who are overweight and the reviews about its benefits are only positive. It is easy to lose weight with kefir, because 100 g do not contain more than 50 kcal and you can get enough of it very well. In general, in recent months I have fallen in love with kefir, I regularly fast on it once a week, and I also often use a kefir diet for 3 days: with its help I lost 2, 5 kg, my body completely cleansed!

Kefir diet for 7 days

It is quite possible to lose weight on a kefir diet by 10 kg in 7 days. The main thing is to follow the basic principles of this method of rapid weight loss:

• The main product is kefir, in addition - low-calorie protein products;
• it is necessary to follow a strict daily life - 5-6 meals every 2 hours;
• you can not limit yourself to ordinary purified water and green or herbal tea.

Here are some possible diet plans that the 7 day Kefir diet offers:

The first day	400 g boiled or baked potatoes.
Another day	400 g fat-free cottage cheese.
Day three	400 g unsweetened fruit.
Day four	400 g boiled or baked chicken or turkey fillets.
Day five	400 g unsweetened fruit.
Day seven	1, 5-2 liters of purified water; weak tea without sugar.
Day seven	400 g unsweetened fruit.

Every day (except the sixth day) you need to drink 1, 5 liters of kefir 1%.

Protein kefir diet

Sorted by the same system, but you need to replace two fruit days before meat days: you will eat 400 g of chicken or turkey fillet, steamed, boiled or baked. It is worth remembering that you can not use salt, but you can improve the taste of dishes with the help of aromatic herbs (basil, rosemary, mint), herbs.

Of course, you can turn to the "hungry" version of the seven-day diet. Here you need to drink up to 2 liters of kefir daily and reduce the dose of by-products to 100 g.

Thus, it is very simple in just one week that you can get a great transformation by losing up to 10 kg with the help of kefir diet.

„. . . After the birth of the baby, I recovered noticeably. It was then that a friend recommended a diet of kefir. I read the reviews and took it right away. She was very comfortable and easy for me! A weekly diet like this allowed me to lose 4 kg! Then I took a break for a week, went on a diet again and lost another 3 kg. This is a great achievement for me! And in general I love kefir: it is both healthy and tasty and works wonders with the image. I highly recommend! "

Kefir diet for 9 days

Do not be afraid that you will have to sit for 9 days on kefir. This variant of kefir diet allows you to say goodbye to 3-7 kg and achieve excellent shapes in a short time.

First stage

For the first three days, your menu consists of 1% fat kefir in any quantity and 100 g of buckwheat porridge cooked without salt.

Second stage

1% fat kefir is also drunk here and instead of buckwheat porridge is boiled chicken fillets, 100 g per day.

Third level

In the final stages of the diet, you can not limit yourself to sour green apples and kefir.

• „. . . I read good reviews on the web about a 9 day diet of kefir, chicken and apples, I decided to give it a try. The first stage is 3 days for chicken, the second for apples, the last for kefir. What can I say, it's unbearable. Either my body is not adapted to such torture, or in fact, the diet is difficult, but on the first day of apple I broke down and 3 days on the chicken gave no results, there is nothing to brag about ";
• „. . . I decided to try a diet where, in addition to kefir, you can eat buckwheat, chicken and apples, mixed. All 9 days passed rather easily, the main thing is to be busy and not think about food. And the result was very happy: minus 5 kg in 9 days is great for me!

Kefir diet for 21 days

As such, such a long-term diet does not have a 21-day menu. Rather, it contains general advice on proper and balanced nutrition.

Kefir 1% fat is a key product here, which should be consumed in a glass 5-6 times a day.

With such a long diet, you need to review your diet and, in addition to healthy kefir, include fresh vegetables and fruits in the menu in large quantities and get rid of harmful smoked meats, alcohol, white bread, purchased sweets, fried and fatty. foods.

In addition, the amount of red meat in the diet should be reduced to once a week and poultry and fish should not consume more than 100 g per day.

They say of such a diet that it has a great effect on digestion and image, and when you start eating according to such a system, you get used to it and you do not want to quit.

Products that are wholly or partly limited

First, the products that are banned on both the kefir diet and the classic non-dietary diet are carbonated drinks: they alter the acid-base balance of the body, so the use of kefir becomes useless, if not dangerous in this combination.

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

Forget sausages, smoked meats, dried and canned foods, bought sweets for one simple reason: you will never know their actual composition, amount of salt, sugar, fat and you will not trace the quality of ingredients. Simply put, forget about these 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 your body.

• pinch of vanilla.

First, prepare 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 them, wipe the raisins with a napkin. When the oatmeal is ready, add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

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

Diet pancakes on kefir

You will need:

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

Recipe for the diet of pancakes on kefir

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

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

In case of failure

In order not to fall off the diet, you need to prepare properly for it. Nutritionists advise a week before the actual diet begins to gradually reduce the number of calories consumed: no more than 1400 kcal per day. Also, in order to be successful in the diet, it is necessary to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance so that a major transition to a diet is not a heavy burden: cakes, sweets, fried and salty.

And one of the main things 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 was a breakdown in the kefir diet, you should certainly not panic. Allow yourself to eat a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese and drink sweet tea. You can always stop and pull yourself together and the best way to do this is with physical exercise. Go for a run or a walk, then drink a glass of yoghurt and return to your diet on the condition that you extend it for another day.

In addition, on a 5, 9 and 21 day kefir diet, you can plan yourself a so-called "chitmill": a pre-planned day when you can afford a little weakness, whether it's a chocolate bar, sausage, a handful of chips - something you really likecared about, but because of your diet you refuse. But planning such days is rare. If you lose weight in 5 and 9 days, then "chitmill" will be only once, but if it is 21 days, then there will be no more than three such days. In addition, if you decide to put "chitmill" in your diet, isstrictly forbidden to stop "harm" on other days.

How to get out of kefir diet?

Light weight can quickly come back to you, sometimes doubled, if you ignore the right diet after dieting.

In no case do not relax, admire the transformed image! It would be best to increase the caloric content of the food eaten very gradually by introducing new foods, in addition to strictly controlling the portion size.

Contraindications

During pregnancy and lactation

Kefir diet, pros and cons

As with any diet, there are pros and cons. However, kefir certainly has more benefits than harm, with fair use.

pros	Minuses
The high efficiency of this method of losing weight, especially in combination with physical activity. Easy diet tolerance due to the fairly perfect composition of fermented dairy products. Mild and natural cleansing of the body. Enrichment of the body with high quality protein. Kefir is easy to replace with other fermented milk drinks.	With prolonged diet, gastrointestinal disorders are likely: abdominal rumbling, flatulence, bloating. The diuretic effect of kefir reduces swelling, but keeps you close to the toilet. Kefir should not be drunk by people suffering from high stomach acidity, chronic gastritis, as well as children under 8 months.

Kefir diet, reviews and results

The method of losing weight on kefir is now very popular, as evidenced by numerous reviews of those who have lost weight, both positive and negative. Basically, both men and women say that this is an effective way to lose weight without harming, and even improving the body.

• „. . . The reviews on the kefir diet for the 3 days I heard were very positive. Nothing complicated: you drink kefir and lose weight. And in fact, you lost weight completely! My weight was 75 kg, on the morning of the fourth day - 72, 3 kg. For me, this is a good result! ";
• „. . . I'm a fan of the kefir diet and my principle when I sit on it is to cook kefir only myself. After all, the diet is based on the need for live bacteria that help the stomach work properly. Once every 2 weeks I always unload kefir. I decided to try the weekly program which promised to lose 10 kg in 7 days. Everything was done according to the description, there were no difficulties, to be honest. Sometimes, of course, I wanted to eat but washed down my hunger with kefir or water. As a result, when I went to the weight in the morning, after the end of a diet, the result was of course not minus 10 kg, but only 5 kg. But I did not despair and decided to extend the diet for 9 days. In the end I lost about 7, 5 kg. In general, I liked the result, and I did not try much on this diet. Therefore, I recommend such a system for weight loss ";
• „. . . I read a lot about the results of losing kefir, tried to unload and sit on it for 9 days. Achieved little success. And one forum recommended fasting on kefir: great for losing weight on the abdomen, hips, sides, legs, arms and for general healing and cleansing of the body. The main rule is that for 4 weeks you use only kefir, sometimes with fruits, vegetables, grains. On one kefir the diet, especially for a month, did not suit me, I just change my mind to do it after 1 week. I decided that I would not feel weak, unwell, avoid activity all month. Therefore, I advise you to sit on kefir for no more than 9 days.

In general, the kefir diet can be very inexpensive and simple, healthy and wholesome. Therefore, if you want to say goodbye to extra pounds, the kefir diet is the best choice!
