General rules

The birthplace of kefir is the foothills of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a great health resort. It's only fair that this invigorating and healing drink was out there. For a long time, the secret of making kefir was known to a few people and passed down in the family from father to son, such as French cheesemakers who passed on their signature cheese-making know-how. surname. That is why kefir began to be produced quite recently - only at the beginning of the 20th century. And the legend of the emergence of this fermented dairy product is very interesting!

In 1908, a beautiful and young girl who graduated from dairy school and was an employee of a dairy company went to the north of the Caucasus, with a partner, to find out the secret to making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, prince Karachai fell in love with the girl. For a whole month, they stayed in his mansion, going around the villages and trying to get kefir mushrooms. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the researchers decided to go home, but the horsemen who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. She awoke in an unfamiliar temple, when the prince stood beside her with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to be his wife. But it's not there! The girl's partner turned to law enforcement officers, and the kidnapping case went to court. But the local judge did not want to spoil the relationship with the noble kefir tycoon and begged the girl to forgive him. She forgave, but in exchange for 4. 5 kg of dried kefir mushrooms.

What is useful kefir?

For a successful kefir diet, you need to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its properties are the same as 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat content and calorie content are less, which, of course, benefits us only.

The production of kefir is controlled by the interstate standard (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 its quality indicators. The long shelf life indicates that additives were used in the manufacturing process to prevent microbial growth. The bacteria in this kefir will sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters it. As a result, fermented dairy products with such a long shelf life lose all of their valuable properties when opened and spoil in less than a day, even when refrigerated.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest alternative to kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and production method: fermented baked milk, natural yogurt without additives, ayran - all this is a twist. Great alternative to kefir and always on store shelves.

How long can you sit on the kefir diet?

Of course, only your doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to follow the diet for a while, you should start with your own emotions and health. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet makes you hungry, there's a crash,depression, dizziness, faintingThen you need to change your diet.

In contrast, the safest time for a kefir diet is 3-5 days, provided that you carefully control your health condition.

As for the question of how to do the kefir diet properly: choose the freshest, highest quality products of which you are 100% certain. Stock up for starters if you decide to make your own kefir, or find a store nearby that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements so you don't buy the first one you see.

Products are fully or partially restricted

In the first place of prohibited products in both the kefir and the classic non-diet are carbonated drinks: they change the acid-base balance of the body, so theusing kefir would be useless, if not dangerous in this combination.

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

Forget about hot dogs, smoked meats, dry and canned foods, and ready-to-eat sweets for one simple reason: you'll never know their real ingredients, salt, sugar, and fat content and youthe quality of the material will not be traceable. Simply put, forget about the 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.

In the event of a problem

In order not to skip the diet, you need to properly prepare for it. Nutritionists advise a week before starting the real diet to begin to gradually reduce the amount of calories consumed: no more than 1400 kcal per day. In addition, in order to successfully complete the diet, it is necessary to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance so that the drastic transition to dietary foods does not become a major stress: cakes, sweets, fried foods and savory foods.

And one of the main points is water. Get used to the fact that you want to quench your hunger with a cup of warm water or a weak cup of green tea, because the human body often confuses hunger with thirst.

However, if something goes wrong during the kefir diet, you definitely shouldn't panic. Let you eat avocado sandwiches, hot dogs 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. Run or walk, then drink a glass of yogurt and go back to the diet as long as it lasts for an extra day.

In addition, on the 5, 9 and 21 day kefir diet, you can arrange for yourself the so-called "chitmill": a day is planned before you can afford a small weakness, whetherit's a piece of chocolate, a hot dog, a handful of chips - something you love so much but because of your diet you've turned it down. But organizing such days is rare. If you lose weight in 5 and 9 days the "treadmill" is only once, but if it is 21 days, it will not be more than three days. In addition, if you decide to include "treadmill" in your diet, it is strictly forbidden to prevent "harm" on other days.

How to get rid of the kefir diet?
