“Buckwheat is not only a valuable dietaryproduct, but also minus five to six kilograms of excess weight," - this is how the famous sold-out joke would sound if comedians decided to talk about such a wonderful product as buckwheat.

It contains almost half of the entire periodic table: iron, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, boron, potassium, iodine - you can go on for a long time. Buckwheat porridge, so beloved by us since childhood, is especially recommended for those who suffer from liver disease, hypertension and many other diseases. But the best thing is that with this tasty cereal you can easily and quickly lose weight. Despite the fact that the product contains quite a lot of calories (it is believed that one hundred grams of boiled buckwheat contains three hundred and thirty-five kilocalories), diets with this cereal are the most effective. For example, a 3-day buckwheat diet will help you lose 3-4 kg! And this is despite the fact that you will hardly feel hunger with such a nutritious product as buckwheat. Thanks to the high content of vegetable protein, this cereal allows you to do without protein and fat components, which means you can forget about meat and fish for these three days. So it turns out that with the help of buckwheat porridge you can lose weight not by the day, but by the hour. By the way, a buckwheat side dish can be ordered with equal success both in a cheap factory canteen and in a fashionable expensive restaurant - in both cases, your order will be a sign of good taste. It's just that everyone respects buckwheat in our country - both low-income comrades from the periphery and rich gentlemen from Rublyovka. Where does such a nationwide love for the product come from?
Love of buckwheat
And this love began back in the days of KyivRus, when Greek merchants brought it to us to try (they called it "grechka" in honor of the Greeks). Our ancestors liked the product so much that they still consider it to be originally Russian: after all, not only porridge is made from it, but also pancakes, pies, and soups. In those days, buckwheat was not just loved - people sincerely believed in the miraculous power of the "triangular grain". The belief has reached our days that before the most important events of their lives in Rus' they ate buckwheat in order to become stronger physically and spiritually. But in Europe, buckwheat has not been tasted to this day, and it is grown only for the sake of buckwheat honey. Although, they say, in some regions of Italy, dried buckwheat grains are husked like we husk sunflower seeds - but all the same, Europeans are far from our passion for this miracle cereal. It is not surprising, because it is not easy to grow it at all - the crop is very capricious and difficult to grow. And the average yield is not particularly high - only four to five centners per hectare (for comparison, wheat yields fifty centners per hectare). Despite all these difficulties, huge areas in our country are sown with buckwheat. In addition to us, Asians also respect buckwheat. In Japan, many settlements and reservoirs are named after it, and they eat it no less than we do - though not porridge, but noodles made from buckwheat flour. In Korea, buckwheat buns for any holiday are the same as Olivier salad for us on New Year's - you can't do without them! But, perhaps, the Chinese have outdone everyone: they make chocolate, jams and even liqueurs from buckwheat. And how can you not love buckwheat, because in addition to all its valuable properties, this cereal is 100% environmentally friendly! It is not afraid of weeds, which means it is not poisoned with chemicals at all - isn't this a reason to be confident in its complete safety for health? Well, and besides, buckwheat has never been subjected to the process of genetic modification.
The essence of the three-day buckwheat diet
In fact, there are many varieties of buckwheat diets:weight, but it is the three-day diet that is considered optimal for the body. Such a diet will benefit not only your figure, but also your health in general, because in its effect it resembles fasting days. And let's not forget that buckwheat contains vitamins that are very necessary for the body - PP, group B and group P. In addition to general well-being, they can improve the condition of hair, nails and skin, and magnesium helps fight depression. And what could be better for a woman than a product that helps to lose weight, improve health and lift your mood at the same time? So what is this wonderful three-day diet, thanks to which you can lose more than three kilograms of excess weight? And the diet is the most ordinary - you just can't eat anything except boiled buckwheat for three days. Moreover, you do not need to salt or sweeten the cereal, otherwise you simply will not achieve the desired effect. In addition, you cannot cook buckwheat in the usual way, like porridge: a completely different cooking method is suitable for the diet. In the evening before going to bed, pour one glass of buckwheat with two to two and a half glasses of boiling water and wrap it in a thick cloth to let it brew. By morning you will have excellent crumbly porridge (don't forget: without salt and sugar!) In addition to porridge, you need to drink as much as possible throughout the diet - at least two to three liters of liquid per day. Of course, no sweet drinks are allowed, you can only drink clean water. The only indulgence for those who cannot imagine life without a cup of coffee or tea in the morning is breakfast. In the morning, drinking one cup of your favorite drink is not forbidden, of course, without milk and sugar. And if you drink tea, then choose green.
Indulgences for slimming
Despite the fact that buckwheat is quitehigh-calorie and nutritious product, not everyone can withstand such a diet for all three days. If you are unable to tolerate one single product for three days, then try to soften the diet a little. Do not torture yourself and allow several low-calorie products to diversify your diet.
And don't forget, indulgence is a good thing.exclusive, you shouldn't use them "all at once". After all, sticking to a diet is hard work; respect your efforts and don't ruin the result. Even when following a diet, try to have dinner no later than four hours before bedtime.
Exit from the diet: keep yourself in hand!
Coming out of the three-day buckwheat diet tooyou need to be careful. Believe me, this is no less important than holding out for three days on buckwheat alone. After all, if you have decided to lose weight (really decided, and not making “another attempt”), then one diet is clearly not enough. You will need all your willpower to accustom your body to proper nutrition and physical activity. And unfortunately, there is no other way. Losing weight once and for all in three days is the same as sinning and lazing all your life, and then repenting and going to heaven in three days. So after the diet, try not to eat fatty and starchy foods, consume no more than 600 kcal per day. You need to come out of the diet for the same number of days as the diet itself lasted. Fasted for three days - for the same amount of time and stick to a six-hundred-calorie diet per day. But even after this time, try not to go “all out”, consume your daily calorie intake (on average - 1500 kcal / day). No matter how much you love buckwheat, eating it for three days in a row is not an easy task. And despite the many valuable properties and benefits for the body, buckwheat, or more precisely, a buckwheat diet, can cause health problems. After all, many women have contraindications to such a diet or to fasting in general. If during the diet you begin to experience severe dizziness, weakness, pain in the abdomen - immediately stop fasting and return to your usual diet. Only those who do not have health problems can go on any diet, including buckwheat. If you know that you have a serious illness and you are prescribed a special diet, then you can go on a diet only with the permission of a doctor. We advise you to read:
