Kefir diet

A diet on kefir, in addition to losing extra pounds, brings invaluable benefits to the body. Kefir normalizes sleep and the functioning of the nervous system, has a mild diuretic effect, cleanses the stomach and intestines, promotes the production of digestive juices and even quenches thirst. True, you need to remember that we are talking about real kefir, the very drink that is included in the list of the healthiest foods in the world. It is best to cook kefir yourself from sourdough. But if there is no time, buy kefir in the store, keeping track of the production time. One-day kefir is good for the intestines, it is low in alcohols (an inevitable companion of the fermentation process) and microbial contents. Two-day kefir contains an optimal amount of enzymes and microorganisms. Three-day kefir contains the maximum amount of these substances, as well as carbon dioxide, which irritates the gastrointestinal mucosa.

Most nutritionists treat kefir very respectfully, which is quite justified, because this is a truly unique low-calorie product that is well absorbed by the body and contains a lot of substances useful for it. Nutritionists themselves, and fans of all kinds of kefir diets, and those who prefer light food know well that kefir is an excellent substitute for some poorly digestible foods. For example, it can be successfully used as a salad dressing instead of sour cream or mayonnaise.

The mono-kefir or single-product version of this diet is considered the most effective today, but it is very difficult: for three days, only kefir is consumed - 1. 5 liters per day for 5-6 meals at regular intervals. Kefir should be fat-free, preferably 1% and without any additives. A strict kefir diet can contain several sweet vegetables, for example, 2-3 slices of stewed pumpkin. Compliance with this diet for 5 days will give the most favorable result: the body will be cleansed, at least 3-4 kg of excess weight will disappear, but in this case you may develop a persistent dislike for kefir.

Such a kefir-based diet is difficult precisely because it is just as difficult to get out of it as it is to start observing. Only those whose body is ideally prepared for such fluctuations in "energy supply" can try this diet. In addition, consuming large quantities of this product for several days can cause intestinal upset. At the end of the kefir diet, a person, as a rule, dreams of only one thing - to eat enough! However, overeating can be very harmful to the body. It is for this reason that a number of nutritionists recommend approaching a strict diet on kefir, having previously consulted with a doctor, and starting with fasting days on kefir, because sometimes one fasting day a week can give better results than monthly torture of the body.

There is also a more gentle version of the kefir diet for those who are ready to give up their usual and favorite dishes for seven whole days. This kefir diet is more caloric and varied than the mono kefir diet, and it is even believed that it is more useful than many other mono diets.

In this variant, meat and fish in natural form are added to kefir in small quantities, that is, without salt, spices and other additives. The daily volume of kefir is slightly changed - 1-1. 5 liters for 5-6 doses.

Seven Day Kefir Diet

• 1st day: 5 boiled or baked potato tubers + kefir.
• 2nd day: 100 g of boiled chicken breast, which can be replaced with turkey. Do not use the broth.
• 3rd day: 100 g of lean boiled meat, without using broth.
• 4th day: 100 g of boiled sea and low-fat fish: halibut, pollock, flounder, navaga.
• Day 5: 1 kg of fruits and vegetables, divided over the whole day. It can be kiwi, fresh pineapple, apples, pears, persimmons, fresh cucumbers, eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes, pumpkin, beets, but bananas and grapes should be completely excluded from the diet.
• 6th day: only kefir, and the volume can be increased up to 2 liters.
• 7th day: at least 1. 5-2 liters of still mineral water throughout the day.

On the 8th day, you can return to your usual diet with restriction of fatty, sugary and starchy foods. Kefir can still be included in the diet in the amount of 0. 5-1 liters per day between meals. It should be unsweetened and as fat-free as possible. You can "sit" on such a diet no more than 1 time in 2 months.

Diet on Kefir "Star"

The Star Kefir Dietis slightly softer than the above option, but there are differences in the timing of this diet: it should alternate with weeks of your usual diet until you achieve the desired result. That is, one week of kefir diet, one week of regular meals with some restrictions, without bread, fatty, spicy and sweet foods.

The nutrition process consists of 6 meals a day at regular intervals: 8. 00, 10. 00, 12. 00, 14. 00, 16. 00 and 18. 00 - this is the last meal, after which it is not even recommended to drink water. The use of water, by the way, is quite limited - no more than 0. 5 liters per day, naturally, boiled, unsweetened and still. Avid coffee lovers in the morning are allowed 1 cup of coffee without sugar. However, they are still encouraged to pull themselves together and switch to tea, in which there is almost the same amount of caffeine, and the benefits are much greater.

Before starting the diet itself, it is recommended to carry out a course of artificial bowel cleansing. I must say that this procedure is unpleasant, but, you must agree, since it is necessary for the case, you can tolerate it. If you decide to use laxatives, then you need to consult a doctor. Remember to be very careful with medications at all times.

• 1st day: 400 g of baked potatoes without salt + 500 ml of low-fat 1% kefir.
• 2nd day: 400 g of low-fat cottage cheese + 500 ml of kefir.
• 3rd day: 400 g of fruit, excluding bananas, grapes and persimmons, + 500 ml of 1% kefir.
• 4th day: 400 g of boiled chicken breasts without salt + 500 ml of 1% kefir.
• 5th day: 400 g of fruits, the same as on the 3rd day + 500 ml of 1% kefir.
• 6th day: 1. 5 liters of still mineral water.
• 7th day: 400 g of fruit + 500 ml of 1% kefir.

For enthusiasts who do not want to part with the dietary regime and tighten it somewhat, such an option as a nine-day diet on kefir with apples, which provides for the alternation of kefir and apples for 9 days, is also possible. The first three days you need to drink 1. 5-2 liters of kefir per day, the next three days, eat 1. 5 kg of apples a day, then again for three days kefir. Why apples, you ask? Yes, because in our middle lane with you, this particular fruit is the most popular and affordable, regardless of the season. And so far, there is simply no worthy replacement for him. The diet is really too harsh. While using it, you can experience both dizziness and a feeling of weakness. If you feel these symptoms, add a little cottage cheese or a boiled egg to your diet, make yourself a fruit or vegetable salad. After all, mockery of your own body is clearly not included in your weight loss program.

And here is another version of the kefir diet, just like the previous one, built on the principle of alternation and designed for 9 days. A certain amount of food is calculated for every three days. The first three days: 1% kefir in any quantity and 100 g of boiled rice without salt per day. The next three days: 1% kefir and 100 g of boiled chicken breast also without salt per day. And the final three days: kefir and apples as much as you like.

Kefir is part of many diets. In the summer, when you have plenty of fresh homemade cucumbers, you can try a diet on kefir with cucumbers. A very effective diet, I must say, but again, not everyone will survive it. In addition, you should not have any diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. To be on the safe side, a person who is confident in their health never hurts to consult a doctor. If there are no health problems, and you are not at all embarrassed by the combination of kefir and cucumbers, then tune your body for seven days of active weight loss with the help of this diet. By the way, in just a week you can get rid of 4-6 hated kilograms. All this time you need to drink only clean non-carbonated water, up to 1. 5 liters per day, and green tea without sugar. Nutritionists also advise during this period to support the body with multivitamins with trace elements.
