general rules

The birthplace of kefir is the foot of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a wonderful health resort. It's only fair that this refreshing and healing drink appeared out 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, for example, when French cheesemakers pass on the secrets of making their signature cheese. 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 milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful young man who graduated from a dairy school and an employee of a dairy company went with a partner to the north of the Caucasus to learn the secret of making kefir. However, before this secret is revealed, the Karachay prince falls in love with the girl. They stayed in his mansions for a month, wandering the villages and trying to get kefir mushrooms. But his efforts were in vain. Desperate, the investigators decided to go home, but the horsemen who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. He came to his senses in an unusual temple, when the prince was already standing next to him with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to become his wife. But it wasn't there! The girl's partner appealed to law enforcement, and the kidnapping case went to court. But the local judge did not want to spoil relations with the noble kefir boss and begged the girl to forgive him. He donated, but only in exchange for 4. 5 kg of dried kefir mushrooms.

Which kefir is useful?

To make the kefir diet successful, you need to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its properties are the same as at 2. 5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat content and calorie content are less, which, of course, is only to our advantage.

The production of kefir is controlled by the interstate standard (GOST), which should contain 100 g of a quality product:

• 2. 8 g of protein;
• 0. 5% to 8. 9% oil.

The shelf life of kefir is one of the indicators of its quality. Its long shelf life indicates that additives that prevent the development of microorganisms are used in its production. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters it. For this reason, such fermented milk products, which have a long shelf life, lose all their valuable properties when opened and deteriorate in less than a day, even if they are in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the diet?

The easiest way to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and method of manufacture: fermented baked milk, natural yogurt without additives, buttermilk - all this is a great substitute for kefir and is always on store shelves.

How long can you sit on a kefir diet?

Of course, only your doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to stick to a diet on your own for a while, you must start with your own feelings and well-being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet makes you starve, there is a breakdown,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you need to change your diet.

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

To the question of how to properly follow a kefir diet: choose the best quality, freshest products that you are 100% sure of. If you decide to make your own kefir or find a store nearby that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements, don't buy the first one you see.

How to cook diet kefir?

In order for the weight loss process to be more effective, you can and even need to prepare various kefir cocktails in addition to ordinary kefir. You can also drink such cocktails, adhering to your classic, non-diet menu.

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

Diet "Chicken, apple 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 will eat only 500 g of chicken per day. It is not recommended to fry the chicken, of course, it is best to cook or boil it without oil and salt. Divide into several parts to make 3-4 meals.

The 3-day kefir diet has one drawback - there may be slight discomfort,diarrhea and bloating.

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

Dietary dishes from kefir

Most of the dishes in which kefir is used are, of course, pastries. With it, it turns out to be more airy, light, less calorie than using sour cream.

Oatmeal Biscuits

You will need:

• 300 ml of kefir 1% fat;
• 100 g of raisins;
• 300 g of oatmeal;
• 20 g of butter;
• 2 tablespoons of honey;
• a pinch of cinnamon;
• a pinch of vanilla.

First, prepare the oatmeal: pour the cereal into a deep bowl and pour kefir for 40 minutes so that it swells. Then pour boiling water over the raisins to soften them. Dry the raisins with a napkin for 20 minutes. When the oatmeal is ready, add raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix well.

Create a cookie: it shouldn't be too flat. Put on a baking sheet greased with butter and send to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Dietary pancakes on kefir

To reduce the calorie content of these breakfast fritters, you can also cook them with oatmeal instead of flour.

You will need:

• 50 g of oatmeal;
• 80 ml of kefir 1% fat;
• 1 chicken egg;
• ¼ teaspoon of baking soda;
• 2 teaspoons of honey.

Mix the crushed oatmeal with kefir and let it brew for 20 minutes. Then add baking soda, honey and mix well. Fry the pancakes in a non-stick frying pan without adding oil until golden brown.

Recipe for diet pancakes on kefir

You will need:

• 500 ml of kefir 1% fat;
• 1 cup of flour (oatmeal, buckwheat or rye);
• 3 tablespoons of honey;
• 2 chicken eggs;
• a pinch of salt;
• ½ teaspoon of soda.

Beat the chicken egg, add a pinch of salt, flour mixed with honey and soda. Stir and pour kefir. Mix well again so that there are no lumps and fry the pancakes in a non-stick pan without adding oil.

You can serve such dietary pancakes without additives or stuff them with raisins or fruit, as well as lean cottage cheese. You will get an excellent low-calorie dessert!

In case of a malfunction

In order not to fall out of the diet, you need to properly prepare for it. Nutritionists recommend that a week before the start of the actual diet, you begin to gradually reduce the number of calories consumed: no more than 1400 kcal per day. Also, for the successful completion of the diet, it is necessary to exclude harmful foods from the diet in advance, so that a sharp transition to diet food does not become a major stress: pastries, sweets, fried and salty.

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

However, if there was a malfunction during the kefir diet, you should definitely not panic. Allow yourself to eat a butter, sausage and cheese sandwich and drink sweet tea. You can always stop and collect yourself, and the best way to do that is through physical activity. Go for a run or walk, then have a glass of yogurt and go back to the diet for another day.

In addition, on kefir diets for 5, 9 and 21 days, you can arrange for yourself the so-called "chitmill": a piece of chocolate, sausage, a pre-scheduled day in which you can afford a small weakness, a handful of chips - something you love very much, but refuse it because of the diet. But it is rare to organize such days. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, then the "chitmill" will be only once, but if it is 21 days, then no more than three days. In addition, if you decide to add a "herb grinder" to your diet, it is strictly forbidden to exclude "harm" on other days.

How to get out of kefir diet?

If you ignore a proper diet after a diet, the pounds you lose can come back to you quickly, sometimes double.

In no case do not relax, admire the transformed shape! It would be best to increase the calorie content of the food eaten very gradually by introducing new foods, and also to strictly control the size of the portions.

Contraindications

Diet is prohibited for people with high stomach acidity,chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and stomach, as well as a contraindication is puberty.

During pregnancy and lactation
