Kefir diet

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

General rules

Kefir's birthplace is at the foot of Mount Elbrus, and the Caucasus is a great resort. It is very true that this refreshing and healing drink originated there. For a long time, the secret of making kefir was known to few, and in the family it was passed from father to son, just as, for example, French cheesemakers passed on the secrets of making their own branded cheese. That is why the production of kefir began only recently - in the early twentieth century. And the very legend of the emergence of this sour 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 with a partner to find out the secret of making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, the Prince of Karachi fell in love with the girl. They lived in his estates for a whole month, driving through the villages and trying to get kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Frustrated investigators decided to return home, but the riders who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. She came to mind in an unknown shrine when a prince with a beautiful bouquet of flowers was already standing next to her and offering to become his wife. But he wasn't there! The girl's cousin turned to law enforcement and the abduction case went to court. However, the local judge did not want to ruin his relationship with the noble kefir tycoon and begged the girls to forgive him. She fired, but in exchange for 4, 5 kg of dry kefir mushrooms.

What kind of kefir is useful?

For a kefir diet to be successful, 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g) must be used. Its properties are the same as 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat content and calorie content is lower, which, of course, only to our advantage.

The production of kefir is controlled by the cross-border 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. The long shelf life indicates that additives that prevent the development of microorganisms have been used in its manufacture. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters it. As a result, fermented milk products with a long shelf life lose all their valuable properties when opened and break down faster than a day, even when in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

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

How long can I follow the kefir diet?

Of course, the duration of any diet can only be prescribed by a doctor. However, if you decide to follow a diet on your own for a while, you should start with your feelings and well-being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If you suffer from hunger due to diet, a malfunction occurs,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you need to change your diet.

In turn, the safest duration of a kefir diet is 3-5 days if you are closely monitoring your well-being.

To the question of how to properly follow the kefir diet: choose the highest quality, freshest products that you are 100% sure of. Make a snack if you decide to make your own kefir, or find a nutritionally friendly kefir store nearby so you don’t buy the first one.

Dietary dishes made from kefir

Of course, most dishes that use kefir are baked goods. With it, it turns out spacious, light, less caloric than using sour cream.

Oatmeal Cookies

You will need:

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

Prepare the oatmeal first: Pour the flakes into a deep bowl and pour in the kefir for 40 minutes to swell. Then pour the raisins in boiling water for 20 minutes to soften, dry them with a napkin. When the oatmeal is ready, 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 an oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Dietary pancakes on kefir

To reduce the caloric content of these breakfast grinders, you can cook them with crushed oatmeal instead of flour.

You will need:

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

Mix the chopped oatmeal with kefir and bring to a boil for 20 minutes. Then add the baking powder, honey and mix well. Fry the pancakes in a non-burning pan without adding oil until golden brown.

Diet pancake on kefir recipe

You will need:

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

We beat the chicken eggs, add a pinch of salt, add the flour mixed with honey and soda. Stir and add the kefir. Stir well again to leave 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 stuff them with low-fat cottage cheese with raisins or fruit. You'll get a great low-calorie dessert!

In case of failure

To avoid falling out of the diet, you need to prepare for it properly. Nutritionists advise starting a gradual reduction in calorie intake a week before the start of the actual diet: no more than 1, 400 kcal per day. In addition, in order to successfully complete the diet, it is necessary to remove harmful foods from the diet in advance, so that the sudden transition to dietary food does not become a great stress: 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 is a breakdown in the kefir diet, you should definitely not panic. Let’s eat a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese, drink sweet tea. You can always stop and concentrate, and the best way to do that is through physical activity. Go for a run or a walk, then have a glass of yogurt and return to your diet provided you extend it for another day.

In addition, with the 5, 9 and 21 day kefir diets, you can arrange a so-called "chitmill" for yourself: a pre-planned day when you can afford a slight weakness, whether it’s a piece of chocolate, a sausage, a handful of chips - that’s what’s verylove, but give up on the diet. But such days are rarely organized. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, then the chitmill will be only once, and if 21 days, then there will be no more than three such days. Also, if you decide to include chitmill in your diet, it is strictly forbidden to take over the harmfulness on other days.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

Losing weight can quickly return, sometimes doubling, if you do not follow a proper diet after a diet.

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

Contraindications

The diet is contraindicated in people suffering from high gastric acidity,chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and stomach, as well as a contraindication to adolescence.

During pregnancy and lactation

Diet is contraindicatedpregnancyandbreastfeeding.

The kefir weight loss method is now very popular, as shown by the many positive and negative reviews about losing weight. Basically, of course, both men and women say it is an effective way to lose weight without harming and even improving the body.

• „. . . The feedback on the kefir diet for 3 days that I heard was very positive. Nothing complicated: good kefir and slimming. And indeed, you are great at losing weight! My weight was 75 kg, on the morning of the fourth day - 72, 3 kg. As for me, it’s a good result! ";
• „. . . I am a fan of the kefir diet and my main principle when I sit on it is to make kefir exclusively for myself. After all, a diet is based on the need for live bacteria to help the stomach work properly. I always unload on kefir once in 2 weeks. I decided to try a weekly program that promised to lose 10 kg in 7 days. Everything was done as described, there were no difficulties, to be honest. Sometimes, of course, I wanted to eat, but I quenched my hunger with kefir or water. As a result, standing on the scales in the morning at the end of the diet, of course, the results were not minus 10 kg, but only 5 kg. But I was not disappointed and decided to extend the diet to 9 days. In the end I lost 7. 5 kg. Overall, I liked the result, and I didn’t overdo it during this diet. That is why I recommend such a weight loss system ";
• „. . . I read a lot about the effectiveness of weight loss with kefir, I tried to unload and sit on it for 9 days. Few results have been achieved. And in one forum it was advised to starve on kefir: perfect for weight loss of the abdomen, hips, sides, legs, arms and general treatment and cleansing of the body. The principle is that you consume only kefir for 4 weeks, sometimes with fruits, vegetables, groats. On one kefir diet, especially for a month, did not fit, I just changed my mind after 1 week. I decided that I would not feel weak or ill for a whole month, I would not avoid activities. Therefore, I advise to sit on kefir for no longer than 9 days.
