Kefir diet

• Efficiency: 4-6 kg in 7 days
• Conditions: 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 refreshing and healing drink appeared there. For a long time the secret to making kefir has been well known and passed down in the family from father to son, just as for example French cheese makers made the secrets of making their signature cheese. This is why kefir has recently started to produce - only in the early 20th century. And the whole legend of the appearance of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a handsome and young graduate of a dairy school and an employee of a dairy went to the North Caucasus, accompanied by a partner, to discover the secret of kefir. But before this mystery is revealed, the Karachai prince falls in love with the girl. For a whole month they stayed in his villas, traveled through the villages and tried to get kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the researchers decided to go home, but the riders who abducted the girl blocked the way. She came to her senses in an unknown shrine when the prince was already standing next to her with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to give it to his wife. But it was not there! The girl's partner turned to detainees, and the abduction went to court. But the local judge did not want to ruin the relationship with the noble kefir magnate and asked the girl to forgive him. She forgave, but in exchange for 4, 5 kg of dry kefir mushrooms.

What is kefir useful for?

To make the kefir diet a success, 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 less, which of course is only to our advantage.

The production of kefir is controlled by the Interstate Standard (GOST), according to which 100 g of a 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 additives were used in its production, which prevent microorganisms from developing. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and the oxygen enters it. Therefore, 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 stored in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the 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 the 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 on your own to stick to a diet for a while, you should start from your own feelings and well-being. First, the diet is designed to benefit you. If your diet is starving, there is a discount,Depression, dizziness, vertigothen you need to change your diet.

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

To the question of how to properly sit on a kefir diet: choose the highest quality, freshest products that you are 100% sure of. Stock up on beginners 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 one you see.

How to cook diet kefir?

In addition to the usual kefir, you can even prepare different kefir cocktails to make the weight loss process more effective. Additionally, you can drink such cocktails while maintaining your classic menu without dieting.

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

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

• 200 ml Kefir 1%;
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon;

Such a diet is intended and recommended for 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, not 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 to cook it. Divide into several parts to make 3-4 meals.

The 3-day kefir diet has one drawback - it can be a small recognition,Diarrhea and bloating.

If the side effects do not seem significant 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 the same as a 3-day diet, but a 5-day diet should already be more varied. During the day you can eat cooked meat, vegetables, eggs, dried fruits, vegetables and small quantities. And, of course, drink up to 2 liters of kefir every day.

Completely or partially limited products

In the first place of the products, which are banned both during the kefir diet and the classic non-diet diet, are carbonated drinks: they change the acid-base balance of the body, so that the use of kefir is useless, if not dangerous in this combination.

White bread eliminated and replaced with whole grain or cereal bread. In one week you will notice the external transformation of the skin, and after 2 months, in figures.

Forget about ham, smoked meats, dried and canned foods, buy sweets for one simple reason: you will never know their current composition, the amount of salt, sugar, fat, and you will not track the quality of raw material. Simply put, forget about the 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 the body.

Diet dishes made from kefir

Of course, most dishes where kefir is used are pastries. With it turns out that it is airy, light, less calorie rich than when you use sour cream.

Oatmeal Cookies

You will need:

• 300 ml Kefir 1% Fat;
• 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 cereal into a deep bowl and pour kefir for 40 minutes to swell. Next, pour boiling water over the raisins for 20 minutes to soften it, drying the raisins with a napkin. When the oatmeal is ready, we add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

Make a cookie: it should 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

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

You will need:

• 50 g oatmeal;
• 80 ml Kefir 1% Fat;
• 1 Chicken Ee;
• ¼ Tea spoon Baking soda;
• 2 teaspoons honey.

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

Recipe for diet pancakes on 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 chicken eggs, add a pinch of salt, honey and flour mixed with soda. Stir and pour in kefir. Mix again thoroughly so that there are no lumps and fry the pancakes in a non-stick pan without adding oil.

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

In case of a breakdown

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

And one of the main 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 cup of weak green tea, because the human body often confuses hunger and thirst.

However, if there was a breakdown during the kefir diet, you should certainly not 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 this is through physical activity. Take a run or a walk, and then drink a glass of yogurt and return to the diet on the condition that you extend it for another day.

Additionally, on 5, 9 and 21 day kefir diets, you can arrange for yourself the so-called "chitmill": a pre-planned day where you can indulge in a little weakness, whether it be a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of chips- something you really like, but because of the diet you refuse it. But organizing such days is rare. If you lose weight for 5 to 9 days, then the "chitmill" will only be once, but if it is 21 days, then there will be no more than three such days. Additionally, if you decide to include a "chitmill" in your diet, the offer of "harmfulness" on other days is strictly prohibited.

How can you get out of the kefir diet?

Weight loss can quickly return to you, sometimes doubling if you ignore a proper diet after a diet.

By no means relax, admire the transformed figure! It would be best to very gradually increase the caloric content of the food eaten by introducing new foods as well as strictly controlling the size of the portions.

Contraindications

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

During pregnancy and lactation

Diet is contraindicatedPregnancyin theStillen.

Kefir diet, pros and cons

• . Once every 2 weeks I always relieve on kefir. I decided to try the weekly program where it promised to lose 10kg in 7 days. Everything was done according to the description, there were no difficulties, honestly. Sometimes I naturally wanted toeat, but washed my hunger with kefir or water. As a result, when I came to the scales in the morning, after the end of the diet, the results were of course not minus 10 kg, but only 5 kg. But I did not despair anddecided to extend the diet to 9 days. In the end I lost 7, 5 kg of weight. Overall I like the result, plus I did not put much weight during this diet. That is why I recommend such a system of weight loss ";
• I. Weapons and for general healing and cleansing of the body. The principle is that for 4 weeks you only use kefir, sometimes with fruits, vegetables, grains. On a kefir diet, especially for a month, did not suit me, I justchanged my mind to do it after 1 week. I decided that I am not able to feel weak, malaise, avoid activity for the whole month.
