Kefir diet

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

general rules

Kefir is the birthplace of Mount Elbrus and the Caucasus is a great health resort. It is very fair that this invigorating and healing drink has appeared there. The secret of making kefir has long been little known, and the family has inherited the secrets of making their own cheese in the same way as French cheese makers. That’s why kefir was recently produced - only in the early 20th century. And the legend of the appearance of this fermented dairy product is very exciting!

In 1908, a graduate of a beautiful and young dairy school and an employee of a dairy company, accompanied by a partner, went to the northern Caucasus to learn the secret to making kefir. But before that secret was revealed, the Karachay prince fell in love with the girl. They stayed in his castles for a whole month, visiting the villages and trying to get kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate investigators decided to go home, but the horsemen abducting the girl stopped. He recovered in an unknown sanctuary when the prince was already standing next to him with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to have his wife. But he wasn't there! The girl's partner turned to law enforcement 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. He was forgiven, but in return he received 4. 5 kg of dry kefir mushrooms.

What kind of kefir is useful?

To succeed in the kefir diet, 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g) should be used. Its properties are the same as 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), its fat and calorie content is also lower, which of course only benefits us.

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

• 2. 8 g protein;
• 0, 5-8, 9% fat.

The shelf life of kefir is one indicator of its quality. Long shelf life indicates that additives have been used in the manufacture that prevent the development of microorganisms. The bacteria in the kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen gets into it. Therefore, such fermented dairy products with a long shelf life lose their valuable properties when opened and deteriorate in less than a day, even when refrigerated.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest way to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and production method: fermented fried milk, natural yoghurt without additives, ayran - all great alternatives to kefir and always available on store shelves.

How long can I sit on the kefir diet?

Of course, the duration of each diet can only be prescribed by a doctor. However, if you decide on your own to stick to your diet for a while, you need to start with your own feelings and well-being. First, your diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet causes hunger, it crashes,depression, dizziness, faintingyou will need to change your diet.

However, the safest duration of a kefir diet is 3-5 days, provided you carefully monitor your well-being.

To the question of how to sit properly on a kefir diet: choose the best quality, freshest products that are 100% sure. If you decide to make kefir yourself, stock up on appetizers or look for a nearby store that sells kefir that meets your dietary requirements so you don’t buy the first one.

How to cook diet kefir?

In addition to the usual kefir, various kefir cocktails can and should be made to make weight loss more effective. You can also drink such cocktails while following the classic non-diet menu.

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

To make such a fat burning cocktail, you will need:

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

Kefir with a secret

The secret of such kefir lies in your imagination. You can add anything: cucumbers, herbs, oatmeal, fruit, dried fruit. The ingredients can be chopped in a blender, simply chopped and added to the kefir. Here you can experiment as you like, the point is on licensed and compatible products.

Types

The kefir mono-diet has plenty of menu options and durations. Only you can choose the one that best suits your body. But believe me, all the suggested options are effective and useful in their own way.

Such a diet is intended and recommended for both men and women if they do not suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, kidney, liver, heart diseases, high stomach acidity and chronic diseases.

Diet "Chicken, apples and kefir"

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

First phase

He eats only chicken meat for three days, up to 500 g per day. It is not recommended to fry the chicken, it is best to fry it, of course without oil and salt, or boil it. We make 3-4 dishes divided into several parts.

Second phase

Here you only need to eat apples in any form: they can be fresh, they can be baked. Here, green sour apples are recommended for consumption: they contain less carbohydrates.

Third stage

In the last stage of the diet, you should only drink kefir with a fat content of 1% in any amount. It will be ideal to drink a kefir cocktail with cinnamon and ginger at least once a day, the recipe for which is shown above.

Kefir diet for 3 days

This dietary option helps to get rid of 3-5 kg of excess weight and gently cleanses the body in a short time. 1, 5-2 liters of kefir should be drunk daily for 3 days, divided into several meals. If your body does not tolerate such a monotonous diet, you can add up to 1 kg of vegetables or fruits to your diet.

The 3-day kefir diet has one drawback - there may be a slight discomfort,diarrhea and bloating.

If the side effects seem insignificant 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 look the same as a 3-day diet, but a 5-day diet needs to be more varied. During the day you can eat cooked meat, vegetables, eggs, dried fruits, fruits in small quantities. And of course, drink up to 2 gallons of kefir a day.

„. . . I consider kefir to be the real salvation for those who are overweight, whose opinions on its beneficial effects are only positive. It is easy to lose weight with kefir, because it does not contain more than 50 kcal per 100 g, and it can be used very well. In general, I have fallen in love with kefir in recent months, consistently fasting once a week, and often on a 3-day kefir diet: I have lost 2. 5 kg with my body, perfectly cleansed!

Kefir diet for 7 days

In addition to the kefir diet, it is completely possible to lose 10 kg in 7 days. The most important thing is to follow the principles of the fast weight loss method:

• the main product is kefir, other - low-calorie protein products;
• a strict daily routine should be followed - 5-6 meals every 2 hours;
• you should not limit yourself to plain purified water and green or herbal tea.

Here are some possible meal plans offered by the 7-day kefir diet:

The first day	400 g of boiled or fried potatoes.
The second day	400 g fat-free cottage cheese.
Third day	400 g unsweetened fruit.
Fourth day	400 g of cooked or roasted chicken or turkey fillet.
Fifth day	400 g unsweetened fruit.
Sixth day	1, 5-2 liters of purified water; weak tea without sugar.
Seventh day	400 g unsweetened fruit.

Every day (except the sixth day) drink 1. 5 liters of 1% kefir.

Protein kefir diet

Lined up according to the same scheme, but two fruit days should be replaced by a meat day: 400 g of chicken or turkey fillets are consumed steamed, cooked or fried. It is worth noting that you can not use salt, but you can improve the taste of food 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, a maximum of 2 liters of kefir should be drunk daily and the dose of additional products should be reduced to 100 g.

So it’s very easy to go through a big transformation in a week if you lose up to 10kg with a kefir diet.

„. . . I recovered noticeably after the birth of the child. Then a friend suggested a kefir diet. I read the reviews and immediately started. It was very comfortable and easy for me! Such a weekly diet allowed me to get rid of 4 kg! Then I took a break for a week, re-dieted and lost another 3kg. This is a great result for me! And at all, I love kefir: it’s healthy and delicious, and it works wonders with the figure. I really recommend it! "

Kefir diet for 9 days

Don’t be afraid to sit on the kefir for 9 days. This version of the kefir diet allows you to say goodbye to 3-7 kg and achieve excellent shapes in a short time.

First phase

The menu for the first three days consists of 1% fat kefir in any quantity and 100 g of salt-free cooked buckwheat porridge.

Second phase

Here, too, he drinks kefir with a fat content of 1%, and replaces buckwheat porridge with boiled chicken fillet, 100 g a day.

Third stage

In the last stage of your diet, you should not limit yourself to sour green apples and kefir.

• „. . . I read good reviews on the web about the 9-day kefir, chicken and apple diet, I decided to give it a try. The first stage is 3 days on chicken, the second on apple, the last on kefir. What can I say is unbearable. Either my body didn’t adapt to such torture, or the diet was really hard, but on the first apple day I broke down and 3 days of chicken brought no results, nothing to brag about ";
• „. . . I decided to try a diet where in addition to kefir, buckwheat, chicken and apples can be eaten mixed. All 9 days have passed quite easily, the point is to keep yourself busy and don’t think about the food. And the result was very satisfied: in 9 days minus 5 kg is excellent 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 recommendations for a proper and balanced diet.

Kefir with a fat content of 1% is the key product here, which is worth consuming 5-6 times a day with a glass.

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

In addition, the amount of red meat in the diet should be reduced to 1 time per week and poultry and fish should not be consumed more than 100 g per day.

Simply put, your daily calories should not exceed 1, 500 kcal. And here you have to choose: we have dinner with a sandwich made with a kilogram of vegetables or a sausage.

Such a diet is said to have a very good effect on digestion and shape, and when you start eating according to such a system, you get used to it and don’t want to stop.

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

Dietary food made from kefir

Of course, most foods where kefir is used are pastries. This makes it airy, light, and low in calories than when using sour cream.

Oatmeal cookies

You will need:

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

Make the oatmeal first: 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, dry the raisins with a napkin. When the oatmeal is done, add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

We shape the cake: do not be too flat. Put on a baking sheet greased with butter and send to a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Dietary pancakes with kefir

You can also cook them with crushed oatmeal instead of flour to reduce the caloric content of your morning scrambled eggs.

You will need:

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

Mix the crushed oatmeal with kefir and allow to cook 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.

Diet pancake recipe with kefir

You will need:

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

Beat the chicken eggs, add a pinch of salt, honey and flour mixed with baking soda. Mix and pour in the kefir. Stir thoroughly again to prevent lumps and fry the pancakes in a non-stick pan without adding oil.

Such dietary pancakes can be served without additives or filled with fat-free raisins and fruit curd. You get an excellent low-calorie dessert!

In the event of a malfunction

In order not to fall off your diet, you need to be properly prepared for it. Nutritionists advise you to start gradually reducing the number of calories you eat a week before you start your actual diet: up to 1, 400 kcal per day. In addition, in order to successfully complete the diet, harmful foods must be excluded from the diet in advance so that a sharp shift to dietary foods does not become a huge stress: cakes, sweets, fried and salty.

And one of the main points is water. It is customary 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 you have a malfunction during your kefir diet, you certainly don’t need to panic. 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 that is through physical activity. Go for a run or walk, then drink a glass of yogurt and return to your diet on the condition that you extend it for another day.

In addition, during the 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diet, you can organize yourself a so-called "chitmill": a pre-planned day when you can indulge in a little weakness, be it a piece of chocolate, a sausage, a handful of chips - something that’s veryyou love it but you refuse it because of your diet. But it is rare to organize such days. If you lose 5 and 9 days, the "chitmill" will be only once, but if you are 21 days, there will be a maximum of three such days. In addition, if you choose to include a "chitmill" in your diet, it is strictly forbidden to "silence "on other days.

How to quit the kefir diet?

Losing weight can return quickly, sometimes doubling if you ignore the right diet after a diet.

Under no circumstances relax, enjoy the transformed shape! It is best to increase the caloric content of the food you eat very gradually by introducing new foods and to strictly control the portion sizes.

Contraindications

Diet is forbidden for people with high stomach acidity,chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and stomachand contraindications in adolescence.

During pregnancy and lactation

Diet is contraindicatedpregnancyandbreast-feeding.

Kefir diet, reviews and results

The kefir weight loss method is very popular today, as evidenced by the many positive and negative opinions about weight loss. Basically, of course, both men and women say that it is an effective way to lose weight without damaging or even repairing the body.

• „. . . Opinions on the 3-day kefir diet were very positive. Nothing complicated: you drink kefir and lose weight. And indeed, you are losing weight perfectly! My weight was 75 kg on the morning of the fourth day - 72, 3 kg. As for me, this is a good result! ";
• „. . . I am a believer in the kefir diet and my main principle when I sit on it is to cook kefir alone. After all, the diet is based on the need for live bacteria that help the stomach function properly. I always unload kefir once every 2 weeks. I decided to try the weekly program where I was promised 10kg in 7 days. Everything went according to the description, there was no difficulty, honestly. Sometimes of course I wanted to eat, but I washed away my hunger with kefir or water. As a result, when I weighed in the morning after finishing my diet, the result was not minus 10 kg, of course, but only 5 kg. But I didn’t despair and decided to extend the diet to 9 days. In the end I lost 7. 5 kg. I usually liked the result, plus I didn’t even strain during the diet. That is why I am proposing such a weight loss system ";
• „. . . I read a lot about the effectiveness of kefir weight loss, tried to unload it and sit on it for 9 days. He achieved little. And on one forum, kefir fasting was recommended: excellent for weight loss of the abdomen, hips, sides, legs, arms, and general healing and cleansing of the body. The principle is that you only use kefir for 4 weeks, sometimes with fruits, vegetables, cereals. For one kefir, the diet didn’t come in, especially for a month, I only changed my mind after 1 week. I have decided that I will not be able to feel weak, feel unwell, I will not be able to avoid the activity all month long. Therefore, I advise you to sit on the kefir for up to 9 days.

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