Kefir diet

One percent fat kefir is the main and necessary product of the kefir diet


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




General rules

Kefir is native to the foothills of Mount Elbrus, and the Caucasus is a large resort. It is very fair that this stimulant and medicinal drink appeared there. For a long time, the secret of making kefir was known to few people, and passed from father to son in the family, for example, French cheese makers passed on the secrets of making their own cheese. Therefore, kefir was produced only recently - in the early 20th century. And the resulting legend of this sour milk product is very interesting!

In 1908, a beautiful and young graduate of a dairy plant and a dairy worker traveled to the north of the Caucasus, accompanied by his partner, to learn the secrets of making kefir. But before this secret is revealed, the Karachay prince falls in love with the girl. They visited his mansions for a month, toured the villages and tried to get kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the investigators decided to go home, but the horsemen who had abducted the girl blocked their way. He came to his senses in a strange temple, where the prince stood beside him with magnificent flowers and offered to be his wife. But he was not there! The girl's partner appealed to law enforcement and the case of bride kidnapping went to court. However, the local court did not want to damage the relationship with the noble tycoon and asked the girl to forgive him. He forgave, but instead of 4, 5 kg of dry kefir mushrooms.

What kind of yogurt is useful?

To make a kefir diet successful, you need to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its properties are the same as 2, 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), but less fat and caloric content, this is certainly only to our advantage.

Kefir production is regulated by the Interstate Standard (GOST), according to which 100 g of quality product must contain:

  • 2, 8 g protein;
  • 0, 5 to 8, 9% fat.

Shelf life of kefir is one of the indicators of its quality. Its long shelf life indicates the use of additives in its production that prevent the growth of microorganisms. The bacteria in this yogurt sleep until the bottle opens and oxygen enters. Therefore, such fermented milk products, which have a long shelf life, lose all their valuable properties when opened and spoil in less than a day, even in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

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

How long can you sit on a kefir diet?

Of course, only a doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to go on a diet for a while, then you need to start with your feelings and well-being. First, the diet is designed to benefit you. If your diet makes you suffer from hunger, then there is a breakdown,depression, dizziness, loss of consciousnessthen you need to change your diet.

In turn, the safest duration of kefir diet is 3-5 days, if you carefully monitor your health.

To the question of how to properly fit into the kefir diet: choose the highest quality, freshest products that you are 100% sure of. If you decide to make kefir yourself, or to avoid buying the first one, find a store that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements.

Complete or partially limited products

In the first place are carbonated beverages, products that are banned during the kefir diet and non-classical diet: they change the acid-base balance of the body, so the use of kefir is useless, if this combination is dangerous.

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

Forget sausages, smoked meats, dried and canned goods, and purchased sweets for one simple reason: you will never know their true composition, salt, sugar, and fat content, and you will never notice the quality of the raw material. Simply put, forget about the products that are made for you.

And the last thing to give up is alcohol. Harmful to the body due to high calorie content and dehydration.

in case of damage

In order to stay on the diet, you need to prepare properly. Nutritionists advise a week before the start of a real diet to start gradually reducing the number of calories consumed: no more than 1400 kcal per day. Also, in order to successfully complete the diet, it is necessary to eliminate harmful foods from the diet in advance, so a sharp transition to a diet should not become a big stress: confectionery, sweets, fried and salty.

And one of the main points is water. Get used to the fact that you need to quench your 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 kefir is spoiled during the diet, then of course there is no need to panic. Eat a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese and drink sweet tea. You can always stop and relax, the best way to do this is to exercise. Run or go for a walk, then drink a glass of yogurt and return to your diet with the condition to extend it for another day.

In addition, in the 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diet, you can organize yourself a so-called "chitmil": a pre-planned day, in which you can tolerate chocolate, sausage, sausage, a little weakness. A handful of chips - something you love very much, but you give it up because of your diet. However, such days are rare. If you have lost weight for 5 and 9 days, the "chitmill" will be only once, and if it is 21 days, then no more than three days. In addition, if you decide to include "chitmil" in your diet, it is strictly forbidden to include "harm" on other days.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

Weight loss will be followed by fatigue and constant tiredness.

By no means do I want to convey that I recommend for the mother to be inactive. It would be great to increase the calorie intake by introducing new foods very gradually, as well as strictly controlling the size of the portions.

Contraindications

Diet is contraindicated in people suffering from gastric acidity,chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcers and stomachis also a contraindication to adolescent age.

During pregnancy and lactation

Kefir diet, reviews and results

The method of losing weight on kefir is now very popular, as evidenced by the many reviews of those who have lost weight, positive and negative. Basically, of course, both men and women say that this is a harmless way to lose weight and even improve the body.

Before and after weight loss
  • «. . . The reviews about the kefir diet for the 3 days I heard were very good. Nothing complicated: you drink kefir and lose weight. And indeed, you will lose weight perfectly! I weighed 75 kg and 72. 3 kg on the morning of the fourth day. This is a good result for me! »;
  • «. . . I am a fan of kefir diet and my main principle when I sit on it is to cook kefir on my own. This is because the diet is based on the need for live bacteria that help the stomach to function properly. Once every 2 weeks I always put on kefir. I decided to try the weekly program, which promised to lose 10 kg in 7 days. Everything was done according to the description, there were no problems, to be honest. Sometimes, of course, I wanted to eat, but I washed my hunger with kefir or water. The result was only 5kg, not minus 10kg after the end of the diet when I weighed in the morning. But I did not give up and decided to extend the diet to 9 days. In the end, I lost 7, 5 kg. Overall, I liked the result, plus I didn’t strain much during this diet. Therefore, I advise such a system of weight loss ";
  • «. . . I read a lot about the effectiveness of kefir for weight loss, I tried to take it down and sit for 9 days. Achieved little results. And one forum recommended that kefir be fasted: it is great for weight loss of the abdomen, hips, sides, legs, arms, and for general healing and cleansing of the body. In principle, you use only yogurt for 4 weeks, sometimes with fruits, vegetables and cereals. A yogurt diet, especially for a month, did not suit me, and I changed my mind about doing it in 1 week. I decided that I would not feel weak, weak, and would be inactive for a month. Therefore, I recommend sitting on the yogurt for more than 9 days.

In general, the kefir diet can be very cheap and simple, healthy and healthy. So, if you want to say goodbye to extra pounds, then the kefir diet is the best option!
