kefir diet

General rules

The birthplace of kefir is the foot of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a great spa resort. It is only fair that this invigorating and healing drink appeared there. For a long time, the secret of making kefir was known to a few and was passed down in the family from father to son in the same way that, for example, French cheesemakers passed on the secrets of making their star cheese. That is why kefir began to be produced quite recently, only at the beginning of the 20th century. And the very legend of the appearance of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful young graduate of a dairy school and an employee of a dairy company went to the North Caucasus, accompanied by a partner, to discover the secret of making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, Prince Karachai fell in love with the girl. For a whole month they stayed in their mansions, roamed the villages and tried to get kefir mushrooms. But his efforts were in vain. Desperate, the investigators decided to return home, but the horsemen who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. From her He came to her senses in an unknown sanctuary, when the prince was already standing next to her with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to become her wife. But she wasn't there! The girl's partner turned to law enforcement officials and the kidnapping case went to court. But the local judge did not want to spoil relations with the noble kefir tycoon and begged the girl to forgive him. She forgave, but in exchange for 4. 5 kg of dry kefir.

What kefir is useful?

For the kefir diet to be successful, it is necessary to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its properties are the same as those of 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat and caloric content is lower, which, of course, only benefits us.

The production of kefir is controlled by the interstate standard (GOST), according to which 100 g of a quality product must contain:

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

The shelf life of kefir is one of the indicators of its quality. A long shelf life indicates that additives were used in its production that prevent the development of microorganisms. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters. Therefore, such fermented milk products with a long shelf life, when opened, lose all their valuable properties and deteriorate in less than a day, even if they are in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest option to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and production method: fermented baked milk, natural yogurt without additives, ayran - all this is an excellent alternative to kefir and is always on the shelves of the stores.

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 go on a diet for a while, you should start with your own feelings and well-being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet makes you starve, there is a break,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you need to change your diet.

In turn, the safest duration for a kefir diet is 3-5 days, provided you carefully monitor your well-being.

To the question of how to properly sit on a kefir diet - choose the highest quality and freshest products that you are 100% sure of. Stock up on entrees if you decide to make your own kefir, or find a store near you that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements so you don't buy the first thing you see.

How to cook dietary kefir?

In addition to the usual kefir, you can and even need to prepare various kefir cocktails to make the weight loss process more effective. Also, you can drink these cocktails while adhering to your classic, non-diet menu.

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

Diet "Chicken, apples and kefir"

A simple and very popular variation of the diet is based on the fact that every 3 days you eat all these foods separately:

First stage

For three days eat only chicken meat - no more than 500 g per day. It is not recommended to fry the chicken, it is best to bake it, without oil and without salt, of course, or boil it. Divide into several parts to make 3-4 meals.

Second stage

Here you just need to eat apples in any form - you can make it fresh, you can bake it. Here, the consumption of sour green apples is recommended: they contain less carbohydrates.

The 3-day kefir diet has a drawback - there may be a slight discomfort,diarrhea and bloating.

If the side effects seem insignificant to you and the result is satisfactory, we recommend that you subsequently try a longer kefir diet, for example, for 4 days or 5 days.

Fully or partially restricted products

In the first place of the products that are prohibited both during the kefir diet and in the classic non-dietary diet are carbonated drinks: they alter the acid-base balance of the organism, so the use of kefir will be useless, not to say dangerous. in this combination

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

Forget about sausages, smoked meats, dry and canned food, sweets bought for one simple reason: you will never know their real composition, the amount of salt, sugar, fat, and you will not track the quality of raw materials. In short, forget about those products that have been prepared for you.

And the last thing to give up is alcohol. It is bad for your body due to its high calorie content and the fact that it dehydrates the body.

Dietary dishes from kefir.

Of course, most of the dishes that kefir is used in are cakes. With it, it turns out airy, light, less caloric than when using sour cream.

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

First, prepare the oatmeal: pour the cereal into a deep bowl and pour kefir for 40 minutes so that it swells. Then pour boiling water over the raisins for 20 minutes to soften them, pat the raisins dry with a napkin. When the oatmeal is ready, add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

Form a cookie: it should not be too flat. Put 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 these breakfast fritters, you can also cook them with crushed oats instead of flour.

Will need:

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

Recipe for dietary pancakes on kefir.

Will need:

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

Beat chicken eggs, add a pinch of salt, honey and flour mixed with soda. Stir and pour kefir. Mix well again so that there are no lumps and fry the pancakes in a non-stick pan without adding oil.

You can serve these diet pancakes without additives, or you can fill them with fat-free cottage cheese with raisins or fruit. You will get an excellent low-calorie dessert!

In case of breakdown

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

And one of the main points is water. Get used to the fact that it is desirable to extinguish 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 was a breakdown during the kefir diet, you certainly should not panic. It allows you to eat a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese, and drink sweet tea. You can always stop and recover, and the best way to do that is through physical activity. Go for a run or a walk, then drink a glass of yogurt and return to the diet on the condition that you extend it one more day.

Also, on the 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diets, you can organize yourself a so-called "chitmill" - a pre-planned day when you can afford a small weakness, be it a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of French fries - something that you love very much, but because of the diet, you reject it. But organizing those days is rare. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, then the "chitmill" will be only one time, but if it is 21 days, there will be no more than three of those days. Also, if you decide to introduce a "chitmill" into your diet, it is strictly forbidden to intercept "harmfulness" on other days.

How to get off the kefir diet?

Lost weight can quickly come back to you, sometimes doubled, if you ignore proper diet after diet.

In no case do not relax, admiring the transformed figure! It would be best to very gradually increase the caloric content of the foods eaten by introducing new foods, as well as strictly control portion sizes.

Contraindications

The diet is prohibited for people suffering from high acidity of the stomach,chronic gastritis, duodenal and stomach ulcer, as well as a contraindication is adolescence.

During pregnancy and lactation
