Did you know that a mug of kefir a day isis this an invaluable help for the health of your body? That the benefits of drinking this fermented milk product are equivalent to taking a very necessary and valuable medicine, so necessary for your health? But this medicine, unlike medications sold in pharmacies, is completely harmless, it has no side effects or serious contraindications. Drinking a delicious, refreshing drink, improving your health and losing weight at the same time - how can you refuse such a pleasure? Thanks to its pleasant taste and amazing healing properties, kefir has become the main component of many weight loss diets. And there are many such diets: someone chooses simple fasting days on kefir, someone chooses a kefir mono-diet, and for someone the best option is a nine-day kefir diet. How can you lose weight with kefir? It's very simple: special yeast-like fungi increase metabolism several times, and lactobacilli simply burn calories that enter our body with food. It is for these two reasons that we feel an extraordinary lightness throughout the body after drinking kefir. But, despite all the beneficial properties, for most of us kefir is just an inexpensive fermented milk drink (by the way, another plus in favor of the kefir diet), sold in every grocery store. We are used to considering it a purely Russian product and have long ceased to treat it with any piety. Although believe me, this was not always the case, and it received the title of "Russian" product thanks to an incredible, almost detective story.

About how Russia extracted the secret of kefir starter

North Ossetia is considered to be the birthplace of kefir.According to an ancient legend, the first leaven (kefir grains) was brought in his staff by the prophet Mohammed himself. He gave the inhabitants of the Caucasus a source of health and longevity, forbidding them to pass on the "magic grains" to strangers, and especially to non-believers. It must be said that this order was carried out very reverently, the owners of the secret of the leaven carefully kept the kefir grains, not allowing them to spread beyond their land. You can smile as much as you like, listening to this legend, but the fact remains: even today, the only way to get real kefir is those same grains that spread from the territory of Ossetia. Well, scientists cannot artificially produce kefir leaven: the result is any fermented milk product, but not kefir! The Ossetians continued to keep the secret of the leaven like the apple of their eye. Neither orders nor persuasion could make the mountaineers break the covenant of Mohammed and lose the guarantee of health and longevity of their people. And here the most interesting part begins. The All-Russian Society of Doctors asks the famous dairy producer Nikolai Ivanovich Blandov to establish the process of making kefir in our country. Blandov, the owner of twelve cheese dairies in the Kislovodsk region, sends his best specialist, Irina Sakharova, to the Caucasus. Arriving in the Caucasus, she, without thinking twice, went with her assistant Vasiliev to visit the largest supplier of dairy products to Russia - Prince Bekmurza Baichorov. The prince and his son received the guests according to all the laws of Caucasian hospitality, but rejected the request to give them kefir grains. But the beautiful Irina did not give up and went with her assistant to the mountain villages in the hope of finding out the secret of kefir from the locals. It was there that she was kidnapped by armed horsemen. Frightened to death, Vasiliev rushes headlong to Kislovodsk and raises the alarm, the gendarmes set off to search for the captive. Meanwhile, Irina discovers that she is being held captive by the son of the very prince who did not give them the grains of kefir starter. It turns out that the young man fell in love with the beautiful Sakharova, which he immediately confessed to her and proposed to become his wife. However, Irina did not share his deep feelings and refused to marry, despite the mountain of flowers and gifts presented to her. Meanwhile, the gendarmes found the stolen Sakharova, freed her and brought her to Kislovodsk. There she immediately filed a lawsuit against Baichorov's son. And the poor fellow would have been sitting behind bars, if not for Irina herself: "I agree to forgive everything and stop the case if the prince gives me ten pounds of grains of kefir starter." The very next day, Sakharova received a huge basket of flowers and the long-awaited kefir grains. This is how kefir production began in our country. What other product can boast such a mysterious and romantic history? Isn't this a reason to turn your attention to this blessed drink in your search for the best diet?

Principles of a nine-day kefir diet

If only the beauty Sakharova knew that thanks to herresourcefulness and persistence, thousands of women around the world will gain not only good health, but also a slim figure! And in fact, today it is the kefir diet that is the most popular and most requested in Russian Internet search engines. We will talk with you about the nine-day kefir diet - an option for those who want to lose as much excess weight as possible in a fairly short period of time. In fact, this diet is quite strict, although very effective. You need to have considerable willpower to endure the entire period and not eat to the point of bursting on the third day of fasting. On average, it allows you to lose from six to nine kilograms in nine days. However, everything is strictly individual: someone easily loses a kilogram a day, while someone's weight stands still, as if bewitched. In any case, try to stick to the proposed diet - with proper nutrition, even the most "dead" weight goes away over time. The nine-day kefir diet does not at all call for you to eat nothing but kefir. After all, this is not a mono-diet, where one single product is allowed. In nine days, you will need proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins, so the diet is divided into three cycles - three days each. Of course, this diet cannot be called 100% balanced, but it allows you not to starve and eat enough food. So, the diet menu:

• The first three days. Low fat kefir in any amount, one hundred grams of boiled rice. Rice should not be cooked slightly, it can not be salted either.
• Second three days. Low fat kefir in any amount, one hundred grams of white meat boiled chicken (also not salt).
• The last three days. Degreased kefir in any amount, green apples in any quantity.

During the diet, in addition to kefir, you need to drinkless than two liters of water. It can be plain still water, green tea without sugar – your choice. It is equally important to choose the right kefir. There is no doubt that it brings enormous health benefits – it cleanses the intestines, strengthens the cardiovascular system, and enriches the body with all kinds of vitamins. But all this works if your diet is completely balanced and you do not sit on almost only kefir for nine days in a row. Believe me, even the best and most useful product in the world will harm the body if you do not know the limits when consuming it. To avoid any negative consequences, learn how to choose the right kefir for your diet. First of all, do not try to buy the one that was released today (on the day of purchase). Fresh kefir in large quantities can lead to excessive gas formation. Agree, not the most pleasant prospect for a woman leading an active lifestyle. Kefir released three or more days ago is no less dangerous – it can cause constipation. It is best to choose “yesterday’s” kefir, this is the best option for a long-term diet. The fact that you are on a diet does not mean that you need to abruptly change your diet. Drink kefir at your usual meal time. Do you have lunch at eleven? And then usually have a couple of snacks before dinner? Well, it is at these hours that you should satisfy your hunger with products allowed by the kefir diet. But if breakfast has never been a habit for you, then you should definitely start one! Scientists have long proven that women who skip breakfast eat much more food during the day than those who eat in the morning.

If you suddenly broke ...

Be that as it may, nine days is not a long timesmall, and not all women are able to withstand restrictions in food for such a long period. It happens that you suddenly break down and eat a huge piece of meat for dinner, and then wash it all down, for example, with red wine ... The first thought: "the diet failed", and you pounce on high-calorie food, torn apart by simply hellish pangs of conscience. Sound familiar? In fact, this happens quite often - women "stumble" and immediately give up, spitting on their work (and being on a diet is also work, and not a small one). It is for those who do not have the strongest willpower in the world that we will tell you about the products that are permissible to eat during the kefir diet. Of course, the effectiveness of the entire nine-day diet will decrease from this, but you will not give up losing weight halfway and will achieve certain results. Do not forget that kefir is still a fermented milk product, and it is not compatible with all products. So, if melancholy and hunger do not allow you to live in peace, then along with the kefir diet you can consume the following products:

• Muesli (you can pour the same kefir);
• Any vegetables (try to exclude potatoes - after all, there are a lot of calories in it, as well as cucumbers - in combination with kefir they have laxative effect);
• Seafood (fish, even marine, kefir does not like, but shrimp, mussels, octopus and other - please, at your service);

By the way, you can easily have a regular snackokroshka on kefir. This is a perfectly balanced dish that will not harm your figure (just avoid outlandish recipes - such as "mushroom okroshka" and the like). But you need to be careful with fruits: kefir does not like anything sweet at all. The exception is the same green apples that are included in the menu of the nine-day diet. In no case eat flour products - especially cakes and cookies. The fact is that due to some properties of kefir, when sweet pastries enter the stomach, fermentation begins, which will nullify all your attempts to lose weight at least a little. And please, do not abuse "third-party" products, you can eat them a couple of times in order to cheer yourself up, no more. Otherwise, the results of losing weight after nine days will leave much to be desired.

How to keep the result

So, the nine days of kefir are over.diet, and you proudly look at yourself in the mirror. Now you don’t have to limit yourself so strictly in food, you can finally open the refrigerator and… Stop! Think carefully, are you ready to be content with a one-day result, or do you want to stay so slim for a long time? If the second option suits you better, then you should think ten times before sweeping out the contents of the refrigerator. Any nutritionist will tell you how important it is to exit the diet correctly - especially from a nine-day one. Your stomach has already gotten used to reduced portions, so you shouldn’t stretch it out again: you are not your own enemy! The desire to eat until you burst is not dictated by hunger, but by various psychological factors that affect our subconscious. And if you were losing weight for a specific purpose, then you should overcome yourself and continue to eat right. There is a golden rule: the number of days the diet lasted is the same number of days you need to exit it. This does not mean that you will need to stick to the same diet for the next nine days after the diet. Just do not rely on flour and fatty foods, and do not stop eating fermented milk products under any circumstances. This is the whole trick of leaving the kefir diet: the body continues to receive beneficial bacteria from fermented milk products, which help to quickly digest food. As a result, extra pounds will no longer appear on your body, and you will continue to feel airy and light. We recommend reading:
