Kefir.Much has been written about the benefits of this fermented milk product. Nutritionists tirelessly sing its praises and recommend using it as both a preventive and therapeutic agent. This drink contains a huge number of vitamins and various useful minerals. It rejuvenates the body, increases immunity, improves the condition of hair, skin and nails, fights sleep disorders, fatigue and nervous disorders, and helps to normalize the gastrointestinal tract. And for those who want to lose a few extra pounds in a month - kefir is just a godsend! Many women believe that the kefir diet is exactly the recipe that will help cope with all problems. It has become fashionable to sit on it. However, they are not so far from the truth. Maybe this is why there are so many different diets, the main component of which is kefir. If you love this healthy drink and at the same time want to lose weight in a month, then, most likely, you can easily choose a suitable diet option for yourself. However, before you start doing what you have planned, do not forget to consult a doctor. Despite the benefits of the product, this diet - however, like any other - has its contraindications. For example, it is not recommended to sit on this diet for people with high acidity or those who suffer from gastritis. And these are not all the restrictions. In addition, most versions of the kefir diet are quite strict and, as a result, are not suitable for everyone. Moreover, even a healthy person should not get too carried away with kefir. The recipe is simple - as they said in ancient times: "In a drop - a medicine, in a spoon - poison!" Of course, in this case we are not talking about a drop, but, nevertheless, you should not overdo it. Nutritionists believe that the permissible maximum is one and a half liters of drink per day. That is, a maximum of 45 liters per month. Everything else will be harmful.

Lyrical digression

Do you know how kefir appeared in Russia?All because of a woman! Don't believe it? The story - or rather the legend - is very romantic. I think many have heard that the birthplace of kefir is the North Caucasus. About 100 years ago, it was discovered that the highlanders use special white grains to make a delicious fermented milk drink that has many healing properties. Several attempts were made to obtain this miracle starter. Forays into the "enemy camp" lasted for months, but to no avail. The residents of those places carefully protected the recipe from prying eyes. They claimed that these grains were given to them by Mohammed, who ordered them to keep the secret in the strictest confidence. According to the unwritten laws of the Caucasus, kefir starter was strictly forbidden to be given, sold or exchanged. And violators faced severe punishment. And so, in 1908, another attempt was made to unravel the mystery of kefir fungi. Irina Sakharova, a young Russian technologist, went to the Caucasus as part of the expedition. When this story happened, the expedition had already lasted a month. The charming girl was noticed by a local prince, who was engaged in the production of kefir. Having fallen in love, he, without thinking twice, took and stole the object of his passion. However, in the Caucasus this was considered quite normal. However, the girl had a different opinion on this matter and flatly refused to reciprocate the ardent highlander's feelings. In the end, the Russian government had to intervene in the love story. And although at that time the concept of "kidnapping" had not yet gained its current popularity, the prince's actions did not meet with approval. He was threatened with a decent prison term. The resourceful girl put forward her conditions - The Caucasian reveals to her the recipe for kefir starter and lets her go home, and in return she will drop all charges against him. What else could the unfortunate mountaineer do? He didn't want to go to prison... The terms of the agreement were fulfilled. Thus, thanks to the woman, one of the closely guarded secrets was revealed, and the first kefir grains appeared in Russia. However, it seems that enough lyricism. Let's return to the main topic of the conversation.

About the combination of products

In order for the kefir diet to bring resultsthe long-awaited effect and did not harm the body, it is necessary to remember about the correct combination of products included in its menu. The fact is that, like any other dairy product, kefir is not compatible with everything. That is why the occasional suggestions to simply supplement your usual diet with kefir - for example, to consume only this product after five in the evening - can only be called a diet with a very big stretch. For example, kefir does not go well with bananas and grapes. That is why, as a rule, the kefir-fruit diet does not involve the use of these fruits. But apples - especially green ones - are very suitable. The "relationship" between kefir and vegetables is a little simpler. There are practically no exceptions. This drink interacts very well with chicken and fish. Well, after we have sorted this out a little, it is time to move on to the most important thing - the kefir diet menu. Since there are quite a lot of diets, then, naturally, the menu will differ. However, there is a general rule - you can sit on a kefir diet no more often than once a month. Let's start in order.

Monodieta

"Mono" means "one".The recipe is very simple - as the name suggests, this diet involves drinking only kefir. And nothing else. It is recommended to drink from one to one and a half liters of the drink during the day. What should you pay attention to? The fact that the usual meal times should not be violated. The body, as before, should receive "fuel" at least three times a day. Just instead of a normal diet, you will drink kefir at this time. If you feel very hungry - add, for example, an afternoon snack. It, of course, should also consist of kefir. This diet is perhaps the strictest, but also the most effective. You can sit on it for no more than three days. And then, carefully monitoring your health. By the way, it is during this period that the most active weight loss occurs. Then the so-called "plateau" may occur - when the weight stops going away. Quite often the question arises - will it be a violation if during the mono-diet you give yourself a small indulgence and eat, for example, an apple. Unfortunately, in this version it is considered unacceptable. The only thing that can diversify the menu is green tea and still mineral water. You can drink them whenever you want and in any quantities. The fact is that solid and liquid food are not digested equally. The mono-diet is designed so that the body will spend its energy only on burning calories, and not on digesting other products. Then the results will be much better. By the way, this kefir diet is very effective for losing weight in one of the most problematic female areas - the abdomen. The course should be repeated no more than once a month.

Lose weight in winter

Winter kefir diet - this is also far awayis not the easiest option. That is why it is also designed for three days. You can sit on it no more than once a month. Although, compared to a mono-diet, the winter kefir diet is pure pleasure and just a "holiday for the stomach". In general, as always - everything is known in comparison. As a rule, this version of the diet brings very good results. But the exact number of kilograms lost directly depends on the characteristics of your body. So, the recipe:

• Breakfast. Sauerkraut. If desired, you can fill it with a drop of olive oil. Omelet. Coffee with milk, but without sugar.
• Snack. A glass of yogurt.
• Lunch. For the first course - mushroom soup. For the second - meat stewed with cabbage.
• Lunch. A glass of yogurt.
• Dinner. Tea without sugar. Baked potatoes. Fish fried in vegetable oil. An hour before bed - a glass of kefir.

Losing weight in summer

Why in summer?Yes, because summer is the best time to eat plenty of fruit. And the kefir-fruit diet is very conducive to this. You can stick to it - if you can endure it, of course - for no more than six days. The recipe is simple, like all ingenious things - you can eat up to one kilogram of fruit per day and drink no more than one and a half liters of kefir. However, lovers of bananas and grapes will be disappointed - you can't eat them. As you remember, these fruits "don't get along" with kefir. If you're really tired of fruit after six days, you can replace them with vegetables. Raw or stewed. Then it will be a kefir-vegetable diet. However, this is not a violation. The results will please - you can lose from two to four kilograms. Not bad at all, right? It is not recommended to repeat this diet more often than once a month. However, some nutritionists advise doing this much less often - once every two to three months.

Lose weight in five days

The five-day kefir diet has its ownfeature - you need to eat strictly according to the schedule. Every two hours. Therefore, it will be quite difficult for working women to sit on it. However, all the products included in the menu and the recipe for their preparation are quite simple. So, in extreme cases, everything can be prepared in advance and taken with you to the office.

• First meal - at 7:00. A cup of unsweetened tea.
• 9:00. Rub two small carrots on a grater and season with olive oil.
• 11:00. Boiled chicken breast or lean beef. 200 grams.
• 13:00. One green apple.
• 15:00 Chicken egg, hard boiled.
• 17:00. Again a green apple. One.
• 19:00. Prunes. Ten pieces.
• 21:00. A glass of yogurt.

Five-day kefir diet is enougheffective - if you strictly follow the diet, it will help you get rid of five extra kilos. It is especially good for getting rid of fat from the abdominal area. But you still shouldn't abuse it. No more than once a month! Or better yet - less often. After all, the main thing is not to harm your health.

Scientific diet

The Institute of Nutrition's kefir diet is perhapsthe most pleasant. It was developed by professional nutritionists. And despite the fact that it lasts almost a month - 21 days, to be more precise - it is quite comfortable to follow. The recipe is very simple - you choose the products yourself and make up the menu, following several simple rules. The main one is the maximum reduction in the calorie content of products. It is necessary to completely exclude such very tasty but harmful things as potatoes, pastries, sugar and bread. 50% of all fats should be of vegetable origin. Fish and meat are low-fat. Salt - no more than five grams per day. You need to add salt to your food on your plate. Cottage cheese and other dairy products are low-fat. Vegetables and fruits - only those that do not contain starch. True, in unlimited quantities. So it is easy to follow this diet - you won't faint from hunger. And, of course - kefir. One liter per day. The rest of the liquid - up to 500 ml - should enter the body with food. You should eat 5-6 times a day, at pre-set times. If you follow all the nutritional rules, this kefir diet will help you "lose" up to ten kilograms in a month.

How to get out of the diet correctly

Almost all short diets have one verya big disadvantage. You quickly get the desired result, but, unfortunately, all the “lost” kilograms come back very quickly. The kefir diet is no exception. How to avoid this? The recipe is simple - when leaving the kefir diet, do not rush and immediately pounce on all sorts of “goodies”. You need to exit smoothly and gradually. During the time you have been on the diet, your body has had time to get used to small portions, and your stomach has shrunk and decreased in size. Do not immediately overload it with fatty, sweet and high-calorie foods. Consolidate the result, for example, by sitting on rice or oatmeal for the next week. Do not forget about vegetables and fruits - your body really needs them after all the restrictions. After all, it is from these products that it gets most of the vitamins and nutrients. Only with this approach will you be able to maintain what you have achieved and enjoy the results for more than one month. As you can see, any kefir diet for weight loss is a fairly simple and quick way to get rid of extra, annoying kilograms. The main thing is to choose the type that suits you personally. And to do this, you need to understand how long you are ready to sit on a diet, and what combinations of products best suit your taste. Thanks to the young technologist Irina Sakharova - if, of course, the legend does not lie! - we got the opportunity not only to learn the taste of kefir, but also to use this drink "for personal purposes". After all, what could be more attractive than getting rid of extra pounds in one month! So - long live kefir! We advise you to read:
