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 appears there. For a long time, the secret of making kefir was known to a handful of people and passed down in families from father to son in the same way as, for example, French cheese makers conveyed the secret of making their signature cheese. That is why kefir began to be produced recently-only in the early 20th century. And the legend of the emergence of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful and young dairy school graduate and an employee of a dairy company went to the northern Caucasus, accompanied by a partner, to find out the secrets of making kefir. But before this secret is revealed, the prince of Karachai falls in love with the girl. For a full month they lived in his mansion, wandering around the village and trying to get kefir fungus. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the investigators decided to go home, but the horseman who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. She is found in an unfamiliar temple, when the prince is already standing beside her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and offering to be his wife. But it's not there! The girl couple turned to law enforcement officers, and the kidnapping case was taken to court. But the local judge did not want to ruin the relationship with the noble kefir magnate and begged the girl to forgive him. He forgave, but in exchange for 4. 5 kg of dried kefir mushrooms.

Is kefir useful?

For a successful kefir diet, you need to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its characteristics are equal to 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat content and calorie content are less, which, of course, is only to our advantage.

Kefir production is regulated by interstate standards (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 have been used in its production that prevent microorganisms from growing. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen gets into it. Thus, fermented milk products with a long shelf life, when opened, lose all their valuable properties and deteriorate in less than a day, even if it is in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest option to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with the same composition and method of production: fermented baked milk, natural yogurt without additives, ayran - all these are great alternatives to kefir and are always on store shelves.

How long can you sit on a kefir diet?

Of course, only your doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide on your own to diet for a while, you should start from your own feelings and well -being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If diet makes you starve, there is damage,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you need to change your diet.

On the other hand, the safest period for a kefir diet is 3-5 days, provided you carefully control your well-being.

To the question of how to sit properly in a kefir diet: choose high -quality and fresh products that you are 100%sure of. Save for starters if you decide to make your own kefir, or find a nearby store that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements so you don’t buy the first one you see.

How to Cook Kefir Diet?

In addition to regular kefir, you may even need to prepare a variety of kefir cocktails to make the weight loss process more effective. In addition, you can drink cocktails like that while adhering to your classic menu without a diet.

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

To prepare a fat -burning cocktail, you need to:

• 200 ml of 1%kefir;
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon;
• a pinch of red hot pepper;
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger root.

Limited product in whole or in part

In the first place the products that are banned during both kefir diets and non-classic diets are carbonated drinks: they alter the acid-base balance of the body, so the use of kefir will be useless, if not harmful in this combination.

Discard white bread and replace with whole wheat bread or cereals. Within a week, you will notice external changes of the skin, and after 2 months, and the figure.

Forget about sausages, smoked meats, dried and canned foods, buy sweets for one simple reason: you will never know their exact composition, the amount of salt, sugar, fat, and you will not detect the quality of raw materials. In short, forget about the products that have been prepared for you.

And the last thing to stop is alcohol. It is not good for your body due to its high calorie content and the fact that it dehydrates the body.

Diet dishes from kefir

Of course, most dishes where kefir is used are pastries. With that, it turns out airy, light, less caloric compared to sour cream.

Oatmeal biscuits

You need to:

• 300 ml of 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 in the kefir for 40 minutes to swell. Next, pour boiling water over the raisins for 20 minutes to soften them, dry the raisins with a napkin. When the oats are ready, add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

The shape of the cookie: it should not be too flat. Place on a baking sheet greased with butter and send to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Diet pancakes on kefir

To reduce the calorie content of this breakfast’s fries, you can also cook it with crushed oatmeal instead of flour.

You need to:

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

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

Recipe for diet pancakes on kefir

You need to:

• 500 ml of kefir 1% fat;
• 1 cup flour (oats, buckwheat or rye);
• 3 tablespoons honey;
• 2 chicken eggs;
• a little bit of salt;
• ½ spoon of soda.

Beat chicken eggs, add a pinch of salt, honey and flour mixed with soda. Stir and pour in the kefir. Mix well again so that it does not clump 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 lean cottage cheese with raisins or fruit. You will get an excellent low calorie dessert!

In case of damage

In order not to fall from the diet, you need to prepare it properly. Nutritionists advise a week before the start of the actual diet to begin to reduce the number of calories consumed gradually: no more than 1400 kcal per day. Also, to complete a successful diet, it is necessary to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance so that the sharp transition to diet foods does not become a big stress: pastries, sweets, fried and salty.

And one of the main things is water. Familiarize yourself with the fact that it is desirable to quench hunger with a glass of warm water or a weak cup of green tea, because the human body often confuses hunger and thirst.

However, if there is damage during the kefir diet, you certainly should not panic. Let you eat sandwiches 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. Go for a run or a walk, and then drink a glass of yogurt and return to the diet provided you extend it for another day.

In addition, on a kefir diet of 5, 9 and 21 days, you can arrange yourself what is called a "chitmill": a pre -planned day when you can afford a small weakness, whether a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of chips - something youreally like it, but because of the diet, you turn it down. But organizing such a day is rare. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, then the "chitmill" will be only once, but if 21 days, then there will be no more than those three days. In addition, if you decide to introduce "chitmill" into your diet, bypassing "harmful" on another day is strictly prohibited.

How to get out of kefir diet?

Weight lost quickly can come back to you, sometimes twice as much, if you ignore proper diet after diet.

In any case, do not relax, admire the changing figure! It is better to increase the calorie content of the food eaten gradually by introducing new foods, as well as strictly controlling the portion size.

Contraindications

Diet is forbidden to people with high stomach acidity,chronic gastritis, duodenal and stomach ulcers, as well as contraindications are adolescence.

During pregnancy and lactation

Diet is contraindicatedpregnancyandbreastfeeding.
