General rules

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

In 1908, a beautiful and young graduate of the dairy school and an employee of the Moscow dairy company N. Baldanova Irina Makarova(and in marriage - Sakharova) went to the north of the Caucasus, accompanied by her partner Vasiliev, to discover the secret of making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, the Karachai prince fell in love with the girl Bekmurza Bakchorov. Makarova and Vasiliev stayed in his mansion for a whole month, traveled around the villages and tried to get kefir grains. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the researchers decided to go home, but their path was blocked by horsemen who kidnapped Irina. She came to her senses in an unfamiliar hut, when Bekmurza was already standing next to her with a lush bouquet of flowers and offering to become his wife. But it was not there! Vasiliev turned to the guards of order in Kislovodsk, and the case of Irina’s kidnapping came to court. But the local judge did not want to spoil relations with the famous kefir magnate and begged Irina to forgive him. She forgave, but in exchange for 4.5 kg of dry kefir grains.

And very soon in Botkin hospital The first batch of medicinal kefir arrived in Moscow, and after a couple of months it was already sold in stores.

What kind of kefir is healthy?

For the kefir diet to be successful, you need 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 its fat content and calorie content are lower, which, of course, is to our advantage.

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

• 2.8 g protein;
• from 0.5 to 8.9% fat.

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

How can you replace kefir in your 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 available on store shelves.

How long can you stay on the kefir diet?

Of course, only your attending physician can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to stick to a diet on your own for some time, you should rely on your own feelings and well-being. First and foremost, the diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet makes you suffer from hunger, there is a loss of strength, fainting , then you need to change your diet.

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

On the question of how to properly follow a kefir diet: choose the highest quality, fresh products that you are 100% confident in. Stock up on starter cultures if you decide to make kefir yourself, or find a store nearby that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements so you don’t have to buy the first one you come across.

How to prepare diet kefir?

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

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

To prepare this fat-burning cocktail, you will need:

• 200 ml kefir 1%;
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon;
• a pinch of red hot pepper;
• 2 teaspoons chopped ginger root.

Kefir with secret

The secret of such kefir lies in your imagination. You can add anything: cucumber, herbs, oatmeal, fruit, dried fruit. The ingredients can be ground in a blender, or you can simply cut them and add them to kefir. Here you can experiment as you please, the main thing is with permitted and compatible products.

Varieties

The kefir mono-diet has a huge number of menu options and duration options. Only you can choose the best one for your body. But, believe me, all the proposed options are effective and useful in their own way.

This diet is intended and indicated for both men and women, if they do not suffer from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, kidney, liver, heart diseases, high acidity of the stomach, or chronic diseases.

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

Second phase

Here you only need to eat apples in any form: you can fresh, you can bake. Green sour apples are recommended for consumption here: they contain less carbohydrates.

Third stage

On last stage diet, you need to drink exclusively kefir 1% fat in any quantity. It will be ideal if you drink a kefir cocktail with cinnamon and ginger at least once a day, the recipe for which is presented above.

Kefir diet for 3 days

This diet option helps you lose 3-5 kg excess weight and gently cleanse the body for short term. For 3 days, you need to drink 1.5-2 liters of kefir every day, distributing it over several meals. If your body cannot tolerate such a monotonous diet, you can add no more than 1 kg of vegetables or fruits to the menu.

The 3-day kefir diet has one drawback - slight discomfort and bloating may occur.

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

A 4-day diet may look the same as a 3-day diet, but a 5-day diet should be more varied. During the day you can eat boiled meat, vegetables, eggs, dried fruits, fruits in small quantities. And, of course, drink up to 2 liters of kefir daily.

• “... I consider kefir to be a real salvation for those who are overweight, and reviews about its benefits are only positive. It’s easy to lose weight with kefir, because 100 g contains no more than 50 kcal, and you can get enough of it very well. In general, over the past few months I have fallen in love with kefir, I regularly do a fasting day on it once a week, and also often use a kefir diet for 3 days: with its help I lost 2.5 kg, my body was cleansed perfectly!”

Kefir diet for 7 days

Losing weight by 10 kg in 7 days on a kefir diet is quite possible. The main thing is to follow the basic principles of this method of rapid weight loss:

• the main product is kefir, additional products are low-calorie protein products;
• it is necessary to follow a strict daily routine - 5-6 meals every 2 hours;
• You cannot limit yourself to simple purified water and green or herbal tea.

Here are some possible meal plans that the 7-day kefir diet offers:

Every day (except the sixth day) you need to drink 1.5 liters of kefir 1%.

Protein kefir diet

Lined up according to the same pattern, but two fruit day will need to be replaced on meat days: you will eat 400 g of chicken fillet or turkey fillet, steamed, boiled or baked. It is worth remembering that you cannot use salt, but you can improve the taste of dishes with the help of aromatic herbs (basil, rosemary, mint), and herbs.

Of course, you can also turn to the “fasting” version of the seven-day diet. Here you need to drink up to 2 liters of kefir daily, and reduce the serving size of additional products to 100 g.

Thus, it’s very easy to make a great transformation in just a week by losing up to 10 kg with the help of a kefir diet.

• “...After the birth of the child, I gained noticeable weight. It was then that a friend recommended a kefir diet. I read the reviews and immediately started working on it. It turned out to be very comfortable and easy for me! This weekly diet allowed me to lose 4 kg! Then I took a break for a week, went on a diet again and lost another 3 kg. This is an excellent result for me! And in general, I love kefir: it’s healthy, tasty, and does wonders for your figure. I highly recommend it!”

Kefir diet for 9 days

Don't be alarmed that you have to sit on kefir for 9 days. This variation of the kefir diet allows you to say goodbye to 3-7 kg and achieve great shape in a short time.

First stage

For the first three days, your menu consists of 1% fat kefir in any quantity and 100 g of buckwheat porridge, prepared without adding salt.

Second phase

Here you also drink 1% fat kefir, and buckwheat porridge is replaced by boiled chicken fillet, 100 g per day.

Third stage

At the last stage of the diet, you don’t have to limit yourself to sour green apples and kefir.

• “...I read it good feedback on the Internet about a 9-day diet on kefir, chicken and apples, I decided to try it. The first stage is 3 days on chicken, the second on apples, the last on kefir. What can I say: it’s unbearable. Either my body is not adapted for such torture, or, indeed, the diet is strict, but on the first apple day I lost it, and 3 days on chicken did not give absolutely any results, there is nothing to brag about”;
• “... I decided to try a diet option where, in addition to kefir, you can eat buckwheat, chicken, and apples, mixed together. All 9 days passed quite easily, the main thing is to keep yourself busy and not think about food. And the result was very pleasing: minus 5 kg in 9 days is excellent for me!”

Kefir diet for 21 days

As such, such a long-term diet does not have a menu for 21 days. Rather, it contains general recommendations for proper and balanced nutrition.

Kefir 1% fat is the key product here, which should be consumed in a glass 5-6 times a day.

With such a long-term diet, you need to reconsider your diet and, in addition to healthy kefir, include large quantities of fresh vegetables and fruits in your menu and get rid of harmful smoked foods, alcohol, white bread, store-bought sweets, fried and fatty foods.

In addition, it is necessary to reduce the amount of red meat in the diet to 1 time per week, and consume no more than 100 g of poultry and fish per day.

Simply put, the number of calories per day should not exceed 1500 kcal. And now you have a choice: have lunch with a kilogram of vegetables or a sandwich with sausage.

They say about such a diet that it has a great effect on digestion and figure, and once you start eating according to such a system, you get used to it and don’t want to quit.

Authorized Products

Of course, the most important and necessary product for this diet is kefir and its variations. If a sour drink is not to your taste, you can also drink fermented baked milk or ayran. By the way, you can also drink yogurt, but make sure that it is without sugar and additives. Buy natural and, if desired, add cereals, fruits, dried fruits, whatever your heart desires.

In addition to kefir, if you do not tolerate monotony in your diet, you can include additional healthy foods. You can eat plenty of vegetables and fruits (excluding bananas and grapes). You can eat poultry and fish in moderation - dishes that you steam, boil or bake without salt, oil, or hot spices. But you can use aromatic basil, rosemary, mint, oregano and so on.

In some cases, on a kefir diet, you can eat cereals, but not just any grains: replace white rice with brown rice, and regular, unprocessed instant oatmeal.

Fully or partially limited products

In the first place among the products that are prohibited during both the kefir diet and the classic non-diet diet are carbonated drinks: they change the acid-base balance of the body, so consuming kefir will be useless, if not dangerous, in such a combination.

Eliminate white bread and replace with whole grain or cereal bread. Within a week you will notice external transformations of your skin, and after 2 months you will notice changes in your figure.

Forget about sausages, smoked meats, dried and canned goods, store-bought sweets for one simple reason: you will NEVER know their actual composition, the amount of salt, sugar, fat, or track the quality of the raw materials. Simply put, forget about the food that was prepared for you.

And the last thing you should give up is alcohol. It is harmful to your body due to its high calorie content and dehydration.

• 3 tablespoons honey;
• 2 chicken eggs;
• a pinch of salt;
• ½ teaspoon of soda.

In case of failure

In order not to fall off the diet, you need to properly prepare for it. Nutritionists advise that a week before starting the diet itself, you should begin to gradually reduce the number of calories you consume: no more than 1400 kcal per day. Also, to successfully complete the diet, it is necessary to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance, so that a sudden transition to dietary nutrition does not become a huge stress: baked goods, sweets, fried and salty foods.

And one of the main points is water. Get used to the fact that it is advisable to extinguish hunger with a glass warm water or a cup of weak green tea, because often human body confuses the feeling of hunger with thirst.

However, if a breakdown occurs during the kefir diet, there is certainly no need to panic. Suppose you ate a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese, and washed it down with sweet tea. You can always stop and pull yourself together, but The best way for this - this physical activity. Go for a jog or walk, and then drink a glass of kefir and return to the diet with the condition that you extend it for another day.

In addition, on 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diets, you can give yourself a so-called “cheat mill”: a pre-planned day when you can allow yourself a little weakness, be it a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of chips - something that you really want you love it, but because of your diet you give it up. But such days cannot be organized often. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, then there will be a “cheat mill” only once, but if it is 21 days, then there will be no more than three such days. In addition, if you decide to include a “cheat mill” in your diet, it is strictly prohibited to eat “bad foods” on other days.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

Lost weight can quickly return to you, sometimes doubled, if you ignore the regime after a diet proper nutrition.

• “... The reviews I heard about the kefir diet for 3 days were very positive. Nothing complicated: drink kefir and lose weight. And, indeed, you are losing weight beautifully! My weight was 75 kg, on the morning of the fourth day - 72.3 kg. As for me, this is a good result!”;
• “... I am a fan of the kefir diet and my main principle when I am on it is to prepare kefir exclusively on my own. After all, the diet is based on the fact that you need live bacteria that help the stomach work correctly. Once every 2 weeks I always unload on kefir. I decided to try the weekly one, which promised minus 10 kg in 7 days. I did everything as described, and honestly, there were no difficulties. Sometimes, of course, I felt hungry, but I washed down my hunger with kefir or water. As a result, when I stepped on the scales in the morning, after finishing the diet, the results were, of course, not minus 10 kg, but only 5 kg. But I didn’t despair and decided to extend the diet to 9 days. Upon completion, I lost 7.5 kg in weight. Overall, I liked the result, plus I didn’t strain myself too much during this diet. Therefore, I recommend this weight loss system”;
• “... I read a lot about the effectiveness of losing weight on kefir, I tried both unloading and sitting on it for 9 days. Achieved minor results. And one forum recommended fasting on kefir: excellent for losing weight in the abdomen, thighs, sides, legs, arms, and for general healing and cleansing the body. The principle is that for 4 weeks you consume only kefir, sometimes with fruits, vegetables, and cereals. A diet on kefir alone, especially for a month, did not suit me, I just changed my mind about doing it after 1 week. I decided that I couldn’t feel weak, unwell, or avoid activity for the whole month. Therefore, I advise you to stay on kefir for no more than 9 days.”

On average, a kefir diet brings minus 10 kg for 7 days. Reviews from those who have lost weight indicate that this is one of the fastest mono-diets, designed for rapid loss of body fat. Due to the limited diet, a weekly diet is difficult to maintain for a long time, so nutritionists have set the upper limit - 7 days. During such weight loss, you can drink up to one and a half liters of kefir and up to one liter of regular drinking water per day. A few cups of weak coffee or tea are also allowed. It is important that the coffee is not granulated, but ground, because you need to get real nutrients to improve digestion.

Additionally, you are allowed to drink a glass of low-fat kefir before bed to help you fall asleep faster. You need to get out of such a strict diet over the next week, gradually adding various cereals and more vegetables, berries and fruits to your diet.

• Pregnancy and lactation;
• Cancerous tumors;
• Stomach or duodenal ulcer;
• Inflammation of the gallbladder;
• Acute form of gastritis;
• Kidney or heart failure.

Kefir-apple diet

This is also one of the most effective mono-diets, during which you can lose up to 3 kilograms of excess weight in 3 days. Apples, like kefir, contain many beneficial substances for the human body and are an excellent product for weight loss due to their low calorie content. After such a three-day unloading, the body is cleansed, there is lightness in the body, a surge of strength, and extra pounds are gone.

Kefir-buckwheat

In search of the optimal way to lose weight, you should pay attention to the kefir-buckwheat diet, which is fashionable today, designed both for one fasting day and for 1-2 weeks. Only lovers of boiled buckwheat porridge with milk should know that the recipe for preparing cereal for weight loss is radically different. For the diet, buckwheat is doused with boiling water and drained. Then it is again filled with new boiling water, after which it is left overnight, wrapped in a warm towel. The next morning the porridge is ready to eat, but, naturally, without oil, salt or sugar. The last time buckwheat porridge is consumed is 4 hours before bedtime, and kefir can be drunk immediately before bedtime.

Sample daily menu for a kefir-buckwheat diet:

• Breakfast - kefir, buckwheat, honey (1 tbsp).
• Lunch - fruit salad (1 apple + 1 orange).
• Lunch - 2 slices of whole grain bread, buckwheat porridge, kefir.
• Afternoon snack - vegetable salad (cabbage, beets, cucumber, carrots), tomato/apple juice or herbal tea.

Diet for 9 days (3+3+3)

The nine-day kefir-apple diet has two options: hard and gentle. With the first option, you can lose (according to women’s reviews) up to 9 kilograms of weight. It consists only of eating low-fat kefir (the first and last 3 days) and green apples (the second three days). Products are allowed to be consumed in unlimited quantities. You can repeat this diet only after a month. But not everyone will be able to withstand such a strict diet, so we suggest taking a closer look at the second, more gentle option, in which the menu is more nutritious and varied:

• The first 3 days - rice, kefir. Throughout the entire period, you are allowed to drink kefir without restrictions, but the daily portion of rice is 100 grams.
• Second 3 days - boiled chicken, kefir. Here, too, you don’t have to limit your consumption of fermented milk products, and you can eat only 100 grams of boiled chicken without salt, spices and skin per day. 3.
• Third 3 days - green apples and kefir. You should not limit yourself to either kefir or apples.

Curd-kefir diet

This weight loss option is tough, so nutritionists do not recommend sitting on it for more than five days. It is more suitable for people who are not severely obese and who need to lose no more than 6 kilograms. This express diet contains only 2 components: kefir and cottage cheese, which quickly remove excess fat from the body. During each day of the diet, the products should be used in 5 doses. The daily ration for the cottage cheese-kefir diet consists of 1-1.5 liters of kefir and 250 grams of low-fat cottage cheese (no more than 9%).

Some people will have a question: is it worth drinking water on this kefir diet? Water and herbal teas must be included in the daily diet. You are allowed to drink unlimited quantities of the following drinks:

• Mineral water, for example, “Essentuki”, having previously released the gas;
• Green tea;
• Herbal infusions containing mint, rosehip infusion, lemon balm and other plants.

Striped kefir diet for weight loss

According to women's reviews, the striped kefir diet gives amazing results. Its name does not mean that you will have to eat striped foods (Yalta onions or watermelon). The fact is that during the diet you will have to alternate between regular meals and kefir fasting days. The advantage of this diet is that you can lose weight without starving at all. How many kilograms can you lose, you ask. If you follow your diet correctly, you can easily “lose” up to 8 kilograms of excess weight in a month.

As a rule, the menu of ordinary days does not contain dietary restrictions. However, nutritionists still advise eating lean meats and fish, reducing the consumption of sweets, flour, and fatty foods, and giving up alcohol. Food should be eaten in small portions up to 6 times a day.

• Curd and fruit casseroles;
• Vegetable salads;
• Natural juices: watermelon, banana, orange, as well as cucumber, beetroot, pumpkin.

As for fasting days, they are done 1-2 times a week. During such a day, drink up to 2 liters of kefir, as well as green tea and plain water. If you are very hungry, you can eat one green apple, but it is better to do without it. Such a day will allow the body to burn old fat reserves without causing significant stress. The result, of course, is not immediate, but smooth weight loss occurs without grueling hunger strikes.

Fruit diet

If you want to say goodbye to kilograms without risk and easily, then the fruit-kefir diet is for you. A varied menu will not be determined by the variety of products, but fruits can be eaten in unlimited quantities (except for bananas and grapes). After finishing the diet, the main task will be to correctly enter the usual menu, but forever give up sweet, starchy and fatty foods in order to maintain the achieved effect. Any woman can lose 3 kg of excess weight in 3 days if she follows the following diet:

• Breakfast - 250 ml of kefir.
• Lunch - fruit salad dressed with low-fat yogurt, herbal infusion or green tea.
• Lunch - 200 grams of low-fat yogurt, fruit, non-carbonated mineral water no limits. P
• Afternoon snack - berries, fruits with kefir, tea without sugar.

The strict nutrition system is designed for 7 days, during which kefir should be drunk 0.5 liters daily. In addition to a low-fat fermented milk product, before each meal you should drink half a liter of any herbal infusion, which it is advisable to brew in the morning, in a volume for the whole day.

7. Sunday is a fasting day. You are allowed to drink 1 liter of mineral water (still).

Cons and contraindications of the kefir diet

The basics of dietetics are moderation, variety and balance. But it is difficult to follow them on a kefir diet, since it does not completely saturate the body with all the necessary elements. After such a strict diet, a person may gain even more kilograms than before. But if you add several fat-burning foods to your kefir menu for weight loss, for example, cinnamon, ginger, low-calorie and healthy bran, flaxseed and oatmeal, and replace high-calorie banana juice with green tea, then you can easily get rid of fat deposits without a strict diet.

The biggest downside of the kefir diet is that it is not suitable for people suffering from severe bile secretion and chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Everyone else who wants to lose weight on kefir should know that due to the fact that this drink does not contain carbohydrates, intestinal motility can easily be disrupted during the diet, which will lead to many days of constipation or diarrhea. Before you decide on a kefir diet, you should consult a nutritionist.

The kefir diet has been known to followers of a slim body for a very long time. Now it is impossible to say exactly when they began to use it for weight loss, but you can be completely sure that then no one had even heard of, or. In those days, everyone knew one thing - if you want to lose weight, you need to drink kefir. Over time, such popularity has led to the emergence of many variations of this diet, and today almost every girl has her own, most preferable option.

But how safe is this diet really and is it really that effective? Let's figure this out.

The essence of the diet

So, what is the so-called kefir diet? This is a very effective nutrition system that allows you to lose up to one kilogram of weight per day. However, most of this weight, especially on the first day, comes from excreted excess fluid. This is due to the high potassium content in kefir.

Another advantage of kefir diets is the large number of meals that occur every two to three hours. This allows you to speed up metabolic processes and effectively burn fat even after finishing the diet, if done correctly.

The general improvement of the body, which occurs due to cleansing the body and improving all digestive processes, also contributes to weight loss.




Advantages and disadvantages

The kefir diet, like any other, has many supporters and no fewer opponents. It is worth noting that the sheer number of different variations of this diet often lead to disputes about which one is the most effective or safe. Let's take a closer look at the positive and negative qualities they all have in common.

3. In combination with fruits, it can provoke an increase in acidity in the stomach.

Basic Rules

In order to achieve the best results with the kefir diet without harming the body, you should follow a few simple rules:

1. Kefir. Since the main component of this diet is kefir, its quality should be given special attention. You should strictly not use kefir whose shelf life is more than two weeks. Ideally, it should be within three to seven days. When making a purchase, try not to allow more than 2-3 days from the date of production.
2. Water. Some “experts” advise limiting fluid intake when on a kefir diet. Do not do this under any circumstances if you do not want to get many unpleasant consequences for the functioning of almost all body systems. You still need to drink fluids. The total volume, including kefir, should not be less than two liters. Please note that in this case, kefir should be treated as a full meal and not drink water half an hour before and half an hour after.
3. Cellulose. Since some variations of the kefir diet reduce the consumption of fiber-rich foods to almost zero, the use of pharmaceutical fiber or bran becomes extremely necessary. This will avoid problems with the gastrointestinal tract. It is necessary to consume at least a teaspoon on an empty stomach.
4. Vitamin and mineral complexes. Any diet, and especially mono-diets, cannot saturate the body with the necessary substances. So, if you want to make the diet as “painless” as possible for the body, then be sure to consume vitamins and minerals. This will avoid or at least reduce the likelihood of feeling weak and dizzy.
5. . The kefir diet involves not even five, but at least six meals a day. And some of its variations are designed for eight meals. This is very important point, which allows you to accelerate metabolic processes.
6. Sport. Of course, intense stress during diets is difficult for the body to tolerate. However, this does not mean that they should be completely abandoned. It is advisable to perform at least the most basic warm-up exercises every day. On our website you can choose not only those suitable for playing sports while on a diet, but also whole and.
7. Quitting the diet. If you want to maintain the results obtained, then leaving the diet should be gradual. Start by introducing more vegetables. Then the addition of cereals is allowed. It is better to postpone the consumption of flour products and sweets for two to three weeks. The same goes for alcohol.
8. Consolidation of results. Weekly kefir fasting days will help you maintain your desired weight for a long time.

Popular options

Today, there are almost a hundred different variations on the theme of kefir diets. Moreover, they are used not only on the European part of the continent, but also in Asia and even Africa. Listed below are the most popular types of kefir diets in the post-Soviet space. This choice is due to the fact that it involves familiar and easily accessible foods that are well absorbed by the body. This allows you to avoid unpleasant consequences for the digestive system and/or allergic reactions.

Classic version

The classic version of the diet is designed for 7 days. Every day you need to drink one and a half liters of low-fat kefir. In addition, the consumption of one product is allowed every day. All products are divided into equal parts and consumed throughout the day at regular intervals. This diet option is good because it is relatively satiating and allows you to lose up to one kilogram per day.

This type of diet is designed for 3-5 days and allows you to lose an average of 3-5 kilograms. This occurs by cleansing the body and removing excess salt and fluid. The diet consists of only apples and kefir in the ratio of 1.5 liters of kefir per 0.5-0.6 kilograms of apples per day. All products are divided into six equal parts and taken throughout the day. The last meal should be no later than two hours before bedtime. This type of diet is quite difficult for the body to tolerate. Therefore, if you have any problems with digestion, then it is better to avoid it.

Kefir-protein diet

This diet is one of the varieties of the “classic” kefir diet. The only difference is that fruit and vegetable days are replaced by protein days. A small “relaxation” can be considered permission to eat greens, lettuce and fresh cucumbers.

Kefir-buckwheat diet

This is one of the most popular types of kefir diet. You calculate the duration of the course yourself, however, it should not exceed two weeks. The minimum period is 3 days. The daily diet is one liter of kefir + 150 grams of dry buckwheat. Please note that buckwheat should not be boiled, but steamed in boiling water overnight in a ratio of one part cereal to two parts boiling water. This retains more fiber, so the calorie content is lower than boiled.

The main condition is that buckwheat and kefir should be eaten separately. That is, these should be separate meals. By the way, there is another option for this diet. In this case, there is an alternation of products. That is, one day you eat only buckwheat, and the second day only kefir.

“Striped” kefir diet

This type of kefir diet is most easily tolerated, since every other day you are allowed to include both protein foods and vegetables and fruits in the menu. Unlike other types, it does not lead to a lack of various microelements or vitamins. However, to achieve maximum results, it must be followed for at least 8-10 days. In some cases, the “strip” diet can be extended up to three weeks.

Kefir-cucumber diet

This diet option is loved by many for its simplicity and lack of hunger. To the already familiar one and a half liters of kefir, add a kilogram of cucumbers and 300-400 grams of boiled white fish. As in all previous types, all products are divided into six equal parts and eaten throughout the day.

"Strict diet

The “strict” kefir diet lasts 9 days. At the same time, weight loss is 7-10 kilograms during this period. However, it is quite difficult psychologically and physically to use. The diet itself is divided into three periods, each lasting 3 days. In the first period, only the consumption of kefir with one percent fat content is allowed, in the second - only apples, and in the third - again only kefir, but with three percent fat content.

“Comfort” diet

The “comfortable” kefir diet is designed for eight meals a day, so there is no feeling of hunger. This makes it relatively easy to carry. The only condition is strict adherence to the nutritional schedule and the order of food consumption. That is, the menu, with minor permissible changes, remains the same for each day. The duration of this diet is 7-10 days.

Express diet for 3 days

This is a kind of express diet. It allows you to quickly lose 2-3 kilograms and is ideal for preparing for some event where you would like to “shine off”. However, it is quite harsh, since you can only drink kefir.

What can and cannot be eaten?

Kefir improves the functioning of the nervous and circulatory system. But most of all it helps people with gastrointestinal problems. This fermented milk drink not only normalizes digestion, but also supplies the body with calcium and fast-acting protein.

The kefir diet has a diuretic property due to large quantity potassium in the product. It expels from the body not only wastes and toxins, but also excess liquid which causes swelling and overweight. The intestinal microflora is significantly improved under the influence of kefir.

Nutritionists note that a positive result is only possible if the kefir is of high quality and fresh. Suitable age is no more than two days. The best option is to prepare a fermented milk drink yourself. To do this, you need to boil and cool the milk. It is better to purchase it at the market or at a farm. When the milk temperature reaches 38 degrees, natural starter should be added. Kefir will be ready in five hours.

• nine-day (very tough),
• winter,
• therapeutic (21 days),
• "striped".

Like, there is a feature here - it can be combined with other products. This is relevant for people with an active rhythm of life and for those who have hard mental and physical work.

Consult your doctor if you have chronic illnesses. Consider the diet option in detail, since for a healthy person there is a norm for consuming kefir. It is one and a half liters per day. Therefore, you should not use a mono-diet, so as not to upset the balance in the body.

The best option would be to combine kefir with another product in your diet. For example, buckwheat with kefir in the morning for weight loss. Then the effect will last longer, and the metabolism will not be disrupted.

What result should you expect?

For beginners and those who have never tried the kefir diet, this is a serious question. Because you need to focus not only on losing weight, but also take into account the characteristics of your body.

Mono-diet on kefir

It can be observed for no more than three days. The essence of this diet is to drink fresh kefir every day. The daily portion varies from one to one and a half liters. No other products are used. You are allowed to drink only water and kefir. Reviews indicate that during these days you can lose from three to five kilograms of excess weight.

If it is difficult to endure three days on such a diet, try unloading the body gradually - once a week to start. Take a glass of kefir three times a day, adding apples and vegetable salads to your diet. A kefir diet for 7 days is useful after holidays and feasts. It prevents the appearance of toxins, excess weight, and relieves the stomach from the symptoms of overeating.

Nine minus nine

The kefir diet for 3 days is considered very strict, but effective. At the right approach and strong willpower, 7–9 kilograms disappear into oblivion in 9 days. It consists of three parts:

• three days - kefir with 1% fat content (up to two liters 5 times a day),
• three days - only apples (1.5 kg per day),
• three days - high-fat kefir (1.6 l).

In addition, cleansing enemas are done every day. Please note that this diet is not suitable for those who have high stomach acidity. Please note that apples are accepted both raw and baked. Sometimes kefir and grated fruit are mixed. No sugar is added.

You need to exit the nine-day diet gradually. Should not be included in your diet from the first days flour products or smoked meats. Add increasingly high-calorie foods to the menu, but do not overuse them.

5 days with kefir

This option will be easier: firstly, a small number of days of the diet, and secondly, in addition to kefir, other products are allowed. Lose about four kilograms if you stick to the main rule: eat at the specified time. The diet starts at half past six in the morning. Last meal – 20.30 pm. The break between meals is only two hours.

A sample menu looks like this:

• green tea with ginger,
• carrot salad with vegetable oil,
• lean boiled chicken meat (170g),
• kefir with cinnamon,
• baked or fresh apple,
• Hard boiled egg,
• raw apple,
• prunes (40 g),
• 300 g kefir.

The diet is suitable for people who do not have chronic diseases. Otherwise, you should discuss this step with your doctor.

Zebra principle

The striped diet is interesting because regular days of eating alternate with kefir fasting days. The first day they drink kefir and still mineral water. The quantity is selected individually. But the optimal ratio is one and a half liters of water and the same amount of kefir. IN summer period portions can be increased.

The next day they stick to their normal diet. If you want to receive desired result, then you should not indulge in buns or heavy high-calorie foods on “white” days. The striped diet is attractive because it is easy to follow and for a long time (up to 5 weeks).

The weight comes off gradually, so the body is exposed to minimal stress. You can lose about six kilograms in a month. If you add sports and any physical activity to the striped kefir diet, you can get rid of up to five kilograms in two weeks. By the way, reviews say that a properly formulated diet after following a diet normalizes weight for a long time.

Therapeutic kefir diet “21 days”

It was developed by the Institute of Nutrition and lasts exactly 21 days. During this period, 9–10 kilograms of excess weight are lost. There is no detailed menu with a step-by-step meal schedule.

But the calorie content of food is reduced as much as possible. Bread, sugar, potatoes, and any baked goods are prohibited. Vegetable fats predominate. Dairy products should be low in fat, meat and fish too. You are allowed to consume vegetables and fruits that do not contain starch in unlimited quantities.

The total amount of liquid allowed is one and a half liters. Kefir - 1 liter, and 500 ml should be obtained from prepared food. Food is salted before serving, no more than 7 g of salt per day. Fractional meals six times a day in small portions, preferably at the same time.

Kefir winter diet

This diet is followed only for three days once a month. The result depends on the body of each person.

Breakfast 1: omelet with sauerkraut, ginger tea with honey.

Breakfast 2: 150 ml kefir or apple.

Lunch: mushroom or chicken soup, vinaigrette.

Afternoon snack: baked apple or 200 ml of kefir 1% fat.

Dinner: fish casserole with carrots and unsweetened tea.

At night: 250 g of yogurt or kefir.

Seven days on the kefir diet: menu

The weekly kefir diet has many fans. Naturally, kefir is the main product of the menu. But the diet cannot be called heavy or strict, because the diet contains another low-calorie ingredient.

Nutritionists advise starting a seven-day kefir diet after the preparatory stage. It should take a week. And it might be something like this:

• reduce calorie intake to 1200–1400 per day,
• drink kefir once a day to prepare the gastric tract for dietary changes,
• give up sweets and animal fats,
• steam meat and fish, boil, bake, but do not fry,
• vegetables and fruits should make up at least half of the diet,
• do not forget to drink water (up to 2 liters) to activate your metabolism.

A similar diet can be repeated only after two or three months. The average weight loss result is 4–6 kilograms and is determined by the individual properties of the body.

Kefir diet schedule:

Monday

5 baked or boiled potatoes without oil or salt. Low-fat kefir – 1.5 liters or half a liter of biokefir.

Tuesday

150 g of boiled chicken breast and kefir (the amount is the same for each day).

Wednesday

5 green apples and low-fat fresh kefir.

Thursday

450 g of fruit (except banana and grapes) and 1.5 liters of kefir.

Friday

120 g of boiled lean fish and a portion of kefir.

Saturday

Two liters of kefir and vegetable salad (unsalted).

Sunday

Still mineral water (unlimited quantity) and 200 ml of kefir.

The daily portion of kefir should be divided into several doses and drunk at intervals of three hours. To avoid getting bored with kefir, you can alternate low-fat kefir with biokefir or fruit kefir throughout the day. If you don’t like pure kefir, you can add cinnamon or ground ginger to it.

Don't forget to drink water. You are not allowed to drink any kind of tea or coffee during the diet.

Since the kefir diet takes place without salt, there is a danger of quickly regaining lost weight if you exit it incorrectly. Avoid salt for another week and replace it with spices such as ginger or hot pepper. Don't take kefir off the menu. Buy fiber in powder form at the pharmacy and add 10 grams to a glass of kefir. Gradually, by the end of the week, return to your normal diet, gradually introduce cottage cheese, eggs, cheese, and nuts.

Listen to how you feel and focus on the scale arrow.

How to choose the right kefir in the store

A diet in which the main component is kefir is considered effective because it gives a quick positive result. But to get it, you should arm yourself with knowledge about how to choose the right kefir.

The starter used for kefir consists of twenty useful substances. Among them are yeast, bifidobacteria, dairy " fungi", which remain in the stomach for a long time and have a positive effect on its microflora. Therefore, our body receives benefits only from fresh kefir. The expiration date on a package of kefir indicates how high quality it is. After all, a long shelf life implies the use of preservatives, which means that there can be no talk of any living microorganisms in kefir. Such a product will quickly deteriorate if exposed to oxygen.

Therefore, when choosing kefir, pay attention to the following important points:

1. The composition should contain two main components - whole milk and sourdough;
2. The fat percentage should fluctuate from 0.5 to 1.5%;
3. The date of manufacture should not exceed three days at the time of purchase;
4. In the store it is located in a separate refrigerator ( temperature – 3–4 °C);
5. Long shelf life destroys probiotics;
6. Natural kefir leaves thick and dense marks on the skin;
7. The packaging must be intact and clean;
8. Locally produced kefir is often fresher than that delivered halfway across the country.

How to make kefir at home

If dairy producers do not inspire confidence in you, do healthy drink on one's own. To do this, you will need to purchase high-quality milk at the market or from a farmer. If you can’t find this in your city, then pasteurized store-bought will do. Add kefir starter. Mushrooms for kefir can be purchased at pharmacies, stores, and online. Add 4 mushrooms per liter of milk. Cover the container with a cloth napkin and hide it from sunlight. The fermentation process should take from 8 to 20 hours and depends on the room temperature. Ideally, it should be indoor. The appearance of bubbles on the surface indicates that the kefir is ready. We catch the fungi and strain. The starter needs to be washed and can be used for the next portion of milk.

A variant of kefir without the use of starter is possible. Place the milk in the refrigerator overnight to prevent bitterness. Remove the layer of cream from the surface, cover the jar with gauze and leave it in the kitchen. In one or two days the kefir will be ready. Cooking time depends on the room temperature. You can add a couple of tablespoons of ready-made kefir to the milk., then the process will go faster.

If the proposed options for the kefir diet frighten you with their monotony, then there are many other combinations. For example, buckwheat with kefir for weight loss is considered an effective method. Typically, such a diet lasts about 12 days and, according to reviews, is no less effective for weight loss. Kefir is also combined with oatmeal or rice porridge. The kefir-cucumber diet helps to forget about excess weight even for those who do not get results from other weight loss methods.

In order not to resort to constant diets and not to struggle with excess weight, you need to organize your nutrition wisely:

• count the number of calories consumed,
• create a menu with a predominance of vegetables, fruits, lean meat,
• be sure to add kefir to your diet to regulate stomach function,
• Wash down the feeling of hunger with water or eat fruit, but not chocolate bars.

The effect of proper nutrition will be greater if you exercise at least a little, not to the point of exhaustion, but for pleasure.

Remember that the kefir diet is not a panacea for excess weight, but one of the rather tough ways to improve your physical fitness!
