Kefir diet

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

General rules

The birthplace of kefir is 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 known to some 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 own firm cheese. That is why kefir began to be produced quite recently - only in the early 20th century. And the very legend 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 North Caucasus, accompanied by a partner, to discover the secret of making kefir. But before this secret could be revealed, Prince Karachai fell in love with the girl. For a whole month they stayed in his palaces, traveled through the villages and tried to get the kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the researchers decided to go home, but the knights who abducted the girl blocked their way. She came to her senses at an unknown shrine when the prince was already standing next to her with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and offered to become his wife. But it was not there! The girl's partner turned to law enforcement and the kidnapping case went to court. But the local judge did not want to break off relations with the noble kefir tycoon and begged the girl to forgive him. She forgave, but in exchange for 4, 5 kg of dried kefir mushrooms.

Which kefir is useful?

To make the kefir diet successful, you need to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its properties are the same as those of 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat content and calorie content are smaller, which, of course, is only to our advantage.

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. A long shelf life indicates that in its production additives are used that prevent the growth of microorganisms. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen is introduced into it. Therefore, such long-fermented fermented milk products, when opened, lose all their valuable properties and deteriorate in less than a day, even if they are 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 baked milk, natural yogurt without additives, ayran - all this is a great alternative to kefir and is always instore shelves.

How long can you sit on a kefir diet?

Of course, only your doctor can prescribe the duration of each diet. However, if you decide to stick to a diet for a while, you need to start with your feelings and well-being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If dieting makes you suffer from hunger, 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 carefully check your well-being.

On the question of how to properly sit on a kefir diet: choose the highest quality, freshest products for which you are 100% sure. Become a beginner if you decide to make your own kefir or find a nearby store that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements, so as not to buy the first one you see.

In the first place of products that are prohibited both in the kefir diet and in the classic non-diet diet are carbonated beverages: they change the acid-base balance of the body, so the use of kefir will be useless, if notdangerous in. this combination.

Eliminate white bread and replace it with whole grain breads or cereals. Within a week, you will notice the external transformation of the skin, and after 2 months, and figures.

• a pinch of vanilla.

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

Form a cookie: it should not be too flat. Place in a buttered pan and send in the preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Dietary pancakes in kefir

To reduce the caloric content of these breakfast fries, you can also cook them with crushed oats instead of flour.

You will need:

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

Mix the crushed oats with the kefir and let it cook for 20 minutes. Next, add the baking powder, honey and mix thoroughly. Fry the pancakes in a non-stick pan without adding oil until golden brown.

Recipe for dietary pancakes in kefir

You will need:

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

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

In case of a breakdown

In order not to fall out of the diet, you need to properly prepare for it. Nutritionists advise a week before the start of the current diet to start gradually reducing the number of calories consumed: no more than 1400 kcal per day. Also, for the successful completion of the diet, it is required to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance, so that a sharp transition to dietary food does not become a major stress: pastries, cakes, fried and salty.

And one of the highlights 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 has been a breakdown during the kefir diet, you certainly should not panic. Let’s 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 a walk and then drink a glass of yogurt and go back to the diet on the condition that you extend it for another day.

Moreover, in the 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diets, you can organize for yourself the so-called "chitmill": a day planned in advance when you can cope with a small weakness, be it a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of potatoesfries - something you really like, but because of the diet, you reject it. But organizing such days is rare. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, then the "apple" will be only once, but if it is 21 days, then there will be no more than three such days. Moreover, if you decide to include a "mill" in your diet, stopping "damage" on other days is strictly forbidden.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

Lost weight can quickly return to you, sometimes doubling, if you ignore a proper diet after a diet.

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

Contraindications

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

During pregnancy and lactation
