On the eve of a big holiday or going to a resort, women think about how to lose a few pounds, so they accumulate a lot. In this case, first think of fast eating and promise to restore the previous figures within a few days.
Qualified nutritionists and doctors will never advise patients not to eat a single diet because their effects on the body are controversial. However, the fans of this weight loss method will not decrease, because in an emergency, there is no other way to prepare your body with beautiful clothes or favorite pants.
Fast results bring unpredictable results
On the eve of or shortly after the holidays, people often turn to the kefir diet, which has many advantages over other speed-up methods. Although men can use it as needed, weight normalization is considered an option for women. The system is equally effective for everyone. It is not difficult to create a menu for a few days, and products for that menu can be found in any store. But it is important to choose high-quality kefir, the body will benefit the most from it. If you want, you cannot rely on the manufacturer's sense of responsibility to cook fresh fermented milk products at home.
The main advantage of the kefir diet is the lowest financial cost and good results. Kefir-based nutrition can help you lose two to three kilograms or more in just 3 days, depending on the person's initial overweight. This is a godsend for fermented dairy lovers. For those who do not like this kind of drink, it is best not to consume this kind of diet, because bearing this kind of diet will become unrealistic due to psychological discomfort.
In the kefir diet, even though the diet is low in calories, you do not have to go hungry. The human body will get all the necessary nutrients in sufficient quantities, which will eliminate hunger.
A positive feature of the diet is the availability of its main product, which is cheap and can be sold in almost any store. It comes in a compact bottle, so you can easily carry it wherever you are, even in your wallet.
Kefir itself has many useful properties:
- beneficial effects on the digestive system;
- Normalization of intestinal flora;
- The lowest calories stimulate weight loss.
The kefir diet has a drawback that forces you to warn you about the drawbacks of following the procedure. Since kefir is a strong diuretic, the desire to go to the toilet may increase. Therefore, it is difficult to follow such eating habits at work-frequent visits to the bathroom may ruin the company's image. The stomach may lose its temper due to increased gas formation caused by fermented milk beverages, and at the most inappropriate moments, the stomach will begin to rattle. Therefore, it makes sense to postpone weight loss until weekends or holidays.
Diet can cause the following health problems:
- Irregular menstruation;
- Weakness or dizziness;
- The deterioration of chronic gastric disease;
- Flatulence and bloating;
- Long-term diet consumes the body.
- Upset stomach;
- The appearance of hair, nails and skin deteriorated.
Even if you use kefir softening food, it is recommended not to take the kefir diet for more than 10 days. In this diet, besides kefir, you can also consume many other products. The danger of single eating is also the psychological discomfort, which is why half of the people who turn to them will collapse and throw everything in half. Due to the fact that the body is under stress, after the end of the eating period, not only the risk of losing kilograms within a few days, but also the risk of some new kilograms. It is important to take a comprehensive approach to solve the problem-consider nutrition in advance during and after the diet.
Contraindications of Kefir Diet
Before using this weight loss method, you need to consult a doctor. There are many contraindications to the kefir diet, including unacceptable contraindications. It includes:
- rheumatism;
- Too much blood in the blood vessels (too much);
- Disease;
- Stomach and intestinal diseases;
- Increase stomach acidity;
- Gout;
- Gastritis.
Do not risk starting a kefir diet without preliminary medical examination. Not everyone knows that he suffers from gastritis, because this disease may not show obvious symptoms for many years and is in a chronic stage. And in the process of weight loss, the disease may intensify. This is due to the fungal content in kefir that causes alcohol fermentation. When a person only eats fermented milk beverages for a few days, the alcohol produced by the fungus will gradually destroy the integrity of the mucous membrane and stomach wall. Eventually, gastritis worsened.
Nutritionists do not recommend trying the kefir diet to reduce weight in overweight people. In their case, a sharp reduction in the calorie content of the diet can exacerbate the onset of chronic diseases.
Kefir selection and preparation rules
It is recommended to use fresh kefir with a fat content of no more than one or a half percent. It is best to buy fermented milk drinks made on the day of purchase or the day before. Such strict freshness requirements have nothing to do with the craving for natural products, but with the impact on the intestines. Freshly produced kefir helps to relax the intestines and clean them naturally. Since processed food does not stagnate in the digestive tract, it can speed up the weight loss process. On the contrary, three days of kefir can cause constipation.
Getting the freshest kefir every day is not easy. You can implement simple recipes to make homemade fermented milk products. In fact, it can be made using one of the following ingredients:
- Kefir fungus;
- Introductory culture;
- Store kefir.
The last option is the most affordable, but the nutritional content of the final product will be less than that obtained by using yeast or kefir. Tibetan mushrooms or milk mushrooms can be purchased online, sometimes for free.
Kefir starter can be purchased in pharmacies-in powder or liquid form in vials. Its cost is very low, so you don't have to spend a lot. If you don’t want to go to the pharmacy, just buy a liter of milk and a bottle of the freshest kefir at the grocery store.
Boil the milk and cool it to 30 degrees, pour it into a glass jar. Then add a tablespoon of sourdough or fungus. Shop kefir will need twice. Cover the neck of the jar with clean gauze to prevent dust and insects from entering. The lid must not be used because the fermentation requires an oxygen supply. Keep the jar in a dry place and avoid direct sunlight. The ideal is warm-stimulating fungus work.
During the heating season, a container with homemade kefir can be placed near the battery. After 10 hours, stir the mixture, but do not pour or taste the mixture because the preparation time is the same. When the milk thickens and looks like kefir, it can be filtered and poured into another clean container.
Kefir diet options with menu
The fastest but also very demanding option is the 3-day Mono Diet. According to regulations, only kefir, boiled water and sugar-free green tea are allowed for three days. You can drink half a liter of fermented milk drink every day, divided into 6 receptions. Try to eat the same amount of food regularly to avoid feeling hungry.
There is a more acceptable version of the three-day kefir diet, during which the diet can be extended:
- At breakfast, drink a glass of kefir and a rye bread or regular croutons.
- For lunch, add 200 grams of salad from any fresh vegetables with olive oil, but without salt and other spices, to a glass of kefir.
- For dinner, you will have to drink a glass of kefir, two medium-sized apples and 20 grams of Dutch cheese slices. You can use a portion of low-fat cheese instead of cheese.
You should drink half a liter of kefir every day. Of which 600 ml is used for the main meal. The remaining 900ml is evenly spread between them as snacks.
In winter, the three-day extended Kefir diet menu might look like this:
- For breakfast, prepare an omelet made entirely of two egg whites. Add a little bit of sauerkraut, wash breakfast with sugar-free natural coffee, and add a little milk.
- A few hours after breakfast, drink a low-fat kefir.
- For lunch, eat a vegetable soup with rye croutons and stewed carrots.
- For afternoon snacks, you can also have a glass of kefir.
- Dine on grilled fish fillets, boil a potato in a jacket.
- Drink a glass of kefir an hour before bed.
If you need to, you can stick to a 7-day diet. The proportion of this diet during the week should be as follows-half a litre of kefir and 0. 5-1 kg of vegetables and fruits per day. You can choose any vegetables and fruits, except for high-calorie ones.
Bananas and grapes are not suitable for diet due to their high energy value. Avoid all citrus fruits as they are incompatible with fermented milk products.
Use five to six meals to separate the kefir from the fruits and vegetables. Just eat a little meal, you will not starve to death, and can stimulate your metabolism. In the first three days of the Kefir diet for 10 days, you drank 2 liters of kefir and ate 400 grams of rice. For the next three days, use 400 grams of salt-free boiled chicken fillet instead of rice. During the next three days, drink kefir and any number of apples. On the tenth day, add oatmeal to your breakfast.
Light food recipes
During the diet, even if you follow the extended diet option, you will not be allowed to eat complex foods. It is recommended to eat fresh unsalted vegetables and to cook chicken fillets without adding spices. You can show your cooking ability in a diet that lasts for a few days, and diversify your diet through dietary diversification. The diet should be low in calories and promote the body's slow transition to a diverse diet. On the first day of your diet, you can add a simple cabbage salad to the menu.
To prepare it, you need:
- Chinese cabbage-0. 5 kg;
- Season with salt and vinegar;
- Sunflower or olive oil -30ml.
This amount is enough for two servings. Chop the cabbage, add the remaining ingredients and mix-the dish is ready. If you do not eat such a salad, you can add a small amount of peas to get more nutrition. For dessert, you can make fruit salad.
To prepare it, you will need the following products:
- Apples-2;
- Pear-1;
- Lemon-quarter;
- Mandarin-1;
- Orange & Dash; 1 piece (medium size).
All fruits should be washed thoroughly, peeled and cut into small slices.
Make sure to remove the core and all seeds from the apple and pear.
Chop the orange peel with a fine grater to get some aromatic peel. Place the chopped ingredients on the slide on the flying saucer and sprinkle the zest on top. Let the juice a little bit, stir and enjoy the fresh taste.
A few days after the end of the kefir diet, you can prepare a more nutritious and nutritious potato dish. It is best to use young tubers, which are rich in beneficial trace elements, but at the same time they cannot reach this number.
You need a copy:
- Potato -1;
- Season with black pepper and salt;
- Sunflower seed oil-30ml;
- Coriander and dill-seasoning;
- Garlic seasoning.
Wash and dry the potatoes, then cut some shallow slices in the potatoes-up to the middle of the vegetables to prevent the potatoes from falling apart.
In a separate deep bowl, mix the chopped dill and parsley with the chopped garlic. Send vegetable oil, salt and pepper to taste. Stir the mixture and carefully coat the potatoes with potatoes, trying to put the herbs in the crevices of the vegetables. Spread a little grease on the baking sheet and place the vegetables on it. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, then roast the potatoes until tender. Depending on its size, this will take 15 to 30 minutes.
Steps after failure and proper withdrawal from the diet
For a strict kefir diet, when a person cannot stand the food ban, loosens and eats, they usually collapse. In this case, the first thing to do is to calm down and not to blame yourself in vain. In a day, even if it is a very stormy feast, you will hardly gain at least one kilogram of excess weight. The scale is most likely to reflect the residual fluid in the body and food that has no time to process. If recurrence occurs, just extend the diet time by one day to catch up. However, consider the fact that a strict diet will not work for you, and try to limit less prolonged diets. Don't go on a hunger strike to punish your timidity. This will only put more pressure on the body, which will trigger another collapse.
By itself, if you do not use the kefir diet as a supplement to an effective diet, the kefir diet will not succeed. In the next few weeks, you will avoid desserts, high-fat, salty and peppery foods. And in the future, in order to prevent the return of excess pounds, it is recommended to arrange a kefir unloading day once a week.
After losing weight, try to gradually diversify your menu by adding 50 calories a day and adding one product a day. Focus on vegetables and fruits. These vegetables and fruits have low calorie content and will not burden the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal tract is somewhat relaxed during the diet. Try cooking vegetables, steaming or grilling. Cooked vegetables are better than raw vegetables because they make the stomach easier to digest.
In a few days, you can gradually introduce low-fat fish, meat and broth varieties to the menu. Eat protein foods for breakfast-low-fat cheese and sugar-free yogurt. Use natural honey as a sweetener. In the second stage of withdrawing from the Kefir diet, you can increase the calorie content of your daily diet by 100-120 calories. This period lasts at least two weeks. At this time, it is recommended to drink vitamin and mineral complexes.
Mistakes lead to catastrophic results
There are many discussions and controversies about the Kefir diet, because the Kefir diet has the same positive and negative effects on people. You can indeed lose weight, but the risk of causing various diseases is high. For example, according to a 40-year-old woman, the hard work is not worth the result: "Indeed, I managed to lose a little weight, but the result is very unreliable. All the kilograms returned soon. "
A 34-year-old woman was even more opposed to the Kefir diet. The latter decided to use the Kefir diet in a certain dose: with their help, all that can be achieved is to remove excess fluid from the body. However, all foods, including kefir, harm our health. Therefore, I personally only use the kefir diet on fast days after the holiday. But I did not eat according to this plan for three consecutive days, but once a week.
If you neglect to consult your doctor before starting a diet, you may have serious health problems, which may take months to heal. "I regret my decision to eat the Kefir diet. I have a serious gastrointestinal disease. It all started with constipation and then had bloating. My diet ended on a hospital bed. You can't eat according to this plan. The doctor said, the doctor later explained to me how stupid I was.
In any case, related to our health, please pay attention to the kefir diet. No need to use high-speed methods to rush to remove excess weight. Even if they need to properly abstain from the diet for several weeks. The wise solution is to avoid unhealthy foods, increase physical activity and stay hydrated. These simple steps can achieve good results in the first two weeks.
