General rules

The homeland of kefir is the foot of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a great health resort. It is very true 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 very legend of the appearance of this fermented milk product in our country is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful and young graduate of a dairy school and an employee of a Moscow dairy company N. Baldanova Irina Makarova(and in marriage - Sakharova) went to the north of the Caucasus, accompanied by her partner Vasilyev, to find out the secret of making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, the Karachai prince fell in love with the girl Bekmurza Bakchorov... For a whole month, Makarov and Vasiliev stayed in his mansions, traveled to auls and tried to get kefir fungi. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the researchers decided to go home, but their way was blocked by the horsemen, who kidnapped Irina. She came to herself in an unfamiliar sakla, when Bekmurza was already standing next to her with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to become his wife. But it was not there! Vasiliev turned to the guardians of order in Kislovodsk, and the case of Irina's abduction went to trial. But the local judge did not want to spoil the relationship with the noble kefir magnate and begged Irina to forgive him. She forgave, but in return for 4.5 kg of dry kefir fungi.

And very soon in Botkin hospital the first batch of medicinal kefir arrived in Moscow, and a couple of months later it was already on sale in stores.

What kind of kefir is good for you?

In order for the kefir diet to be successful, you need to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its properties are the same as that of 2.5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and the fat content and calorie content are lower, which, of course, is only beneficial to us.

In Russia, the production of kefir is controlled by the interstate standard (GOST), according to which 100 g of a 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 during its production, additives were used that prevent microorganisms from developing. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen gets into it. Therefore, such fermented milk products with a long shelf life, upon opening, lose all their valuable properties and deteriorate 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 yoghurt without additives, ayran - all this is an excellent alternative to kefir and is always available 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 yourself decide to stick to the diet for a while, you should build 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 breakdown, fainting , then you need to change your diet.

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

On the question of how to properly follow a kefir diet: choose the highest quality, fresh products in which you are 100% sure. Stock up on starter cultures if you decide to make kefir yourself, or find a store nearby that will sell kefir that meets the dietary requirements, so as not to buy the first one that comes along.

How to cook diet kefir?

In addition to regular kefir, you can and even need to prepare various kefir cocktails so that the process of losing weight is more effective. In addition, these cocktails can be drunk according to their classic, non-dietary menu.

Kefir with cinnamon and ginger

To make such a fat burning shake, you will need:

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

Kefir with a secret

The secret of such kefir lies in your imagination. You can add anything: cucumber, herbs, oatmeal, fruit, dried fruit. Ingredients can be chopped in a blender, you can simply chop and add 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 varieties and duration options. Only you yourself are able to choose the best one for your body. But, believe me, all the proposed options are effective and useful in their own way.

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

Diet "Chicken, apples and kefir"

A simple and very popular diet variation is based on the fact that you consume all of these foods separately every 3 days:

First stage

For three days you eat only chicken meat, no more than 500 g per day. Frying chicken is not recommended, it is best to bake it, without oil and salt, of course, or to 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. Here green sour apples are recommended for consumption: they contain less carbohydrates.

Third stage

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

Kefir diet for 3 days

This diet option helps to get rid of 3-5 kg ​​of excess weight and gently cleanse the body in a short time. For 3 days, you need to drink 1.5-2 liters of kefir daily, distributing it over several meals. If your body does not tolerate such a monotonous diet, you can add no more than 1 kg of vegetables or fruits to the menu.

A 3-day diet on kefir has one drawback - there may be slight discomfort and bloating.

If the side effects seem insignificant 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 for 5 days.

A 4-day diet may look the same as a 3-day diet, but a 5-day diet should already 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 the reviews about its benefits are only positive. It is 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 fell in love with kefir, consistently once a week I do a fasting day on it, and I also often use a kefir diet for 3 days: with its help I lost 2.5 kg, my body cleared up perfectly! "

Kefir diet for 7 days

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

• the main product is kefir, additional products are low-calorie protein products;
• you must 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 for the sixth day) you need to drink 1.5 liters of kefir 1%.

Protein kefir diet

It is built according to the same scheme, but two fruit days will need to be replaced with meat days: you will eat 400 g of steamed chicken or turkey fillets, 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), herbs.

Of course, you can turn to the "hungry" version of the seven-day diet. Here you need to drink up to 2 liters of kefir daily, and reduce the portion size of additional products to 100 g.

Thus, it is very simple to transform in just a week, losing up to 10 kg with the help of a kefir diet.

• “… After the birth of a child, I have noticeably recovered. It was then that my friend advised the kefir diet. I read the reviews and immediately started working on it. She turned out to be very comfortable and light 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 is both healthy and tasty, and it does wonders for the figure. I highly recommend it! "

Kefir diet for 9 days

Do not 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 excellent forms in a short time.

First stage

The first three days, your menu consists of kefir 1% fat in any quantity and 100 g of buckwheat porridge cooked 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 can not limit yourself to sour green apples and kefir.

• “… I read good reviews on the Web about the 9-day diet on kefir, chicken and apples, and I decided to definitely 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 tough, but on the first apple day I fell through, and 3 days on chicken gave absolutely no results, there is nothing to brag about ”;
• “… I decided to try a variant of the diet, where, in addition to kefir, you can eat buckwheat, chicken, and apples - mixed. All 9 days passed quite easily, the main thing is to keep yourself occupied 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 guidelines for a healthy and balanced diet.

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

With such a long diet, your diet needs to be revised and, in addition to healthy kefir in large quantities, include fresh vegetables and fruits in your menu and get rid of harmful smoked meats, alcohol, white bread, purchased sweets, fried and fatty foods.

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

Simply put, the number of calories per day should not exceed 1500 kcal. And then it's up to you to choose: dine 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 shape, and, having started to eat according to such a system, you get used to it, and you no longer want to quit.

Allowed 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, ayran. Yogurt, by the way, can also be drunk, but make sure that it is free of sugar and additives. Buy natural and on your own, if you wish, add cereals, fruits, dried fruits there - as you wish.

In addition to kefir, if you hate the monotony of your diet, you can include additional healthy foods. You can eat plenty of vegetables and fruits (excluding bananas and grapes). In moderation, you can eat poultry and fish - dishes that you steam, boil or bake without salt, oil, hot spices. But you can use aromatic basil, rosemary, mint, oregano and so on.

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

Fully or partially limited products

Carbonated drinks are in the first place among the products that are banned during both the kefir diet and the classic non-dietary diet: they change the acid-base balance of the body, so that the use of kefir will be useless, if not dangerous in this combination.

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

Forget about sausages, smoked meats, dried and canned food, purchased sweets for one simple reason: you will NEVER know their actual composition, the amount of salt, sugar, fat, do not trace the quality of raw materials. Simply put, forget about the foods that were prepared for you.

And the last thing you should give up is alcohol. It is harmful to your body as it is high in calories and dehydrates your body.

Diet dishes from kefir

Of course, most of the dishes where kefir is used are baked goods. With it, it turns out to be airy, light, less high in calories than when using sour cream.

You will need:

• 300 ml of kefir 1% fat;
• 100 g raisins;
• 300 g oatmeal;
• 20 g 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 it with kefir for 40 minutes so that it swells. Next, pour boiling water over the raisins for 20 minutes to soften, dry the raisins with a napkin. When the oatmeal is done, add the raisins, cinnamon, vanilla, honey and mix thoroughly.

Shape the cookie: it shouldn't be too flat. Place on a greased baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Ideal for breakfast, these pancakes can also be made with chopped oatmeal instead of flour to reduce calories.

You will need:

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

Mix chopped oatmeal with kefir and let it brew for 20 minutes. Then add baking powder, honey and mix thoroughly. Fry the pancakes in a non-stick skillet without adding oil until golden brown.

Recipe for diet pancakes on kefir

You will need:

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

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

You can serve such diet pancakes without additives, or you can stuff them with low-fat cottage cheese with raisins or fruits. The result is an excellent low-calorie dessert!

At breakdown

In order not to break off the diet, you need to properly prepare for it. Nutritionists advise, a week before the start of the actual diet, to begin to gradually reduce the number of calories consumed: no more than 1400 kcal per day. Also, for the successful passage of the diet, it is required to exclude unhealthy foods from the diet in advance, so that the abrupt transition to dietary nutrition does not become a huge stress: baked goods, sweets, fried and salted foods.

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

Nevertheless, if there was a breakdown during the kefir diet, you certainly should not panic. Suppose you ate a sandwich with butter, sausage and cheese, and washed down with sweet tea. You can always stop and pull yourself together, and the best way to do this is through physical activity. Go jogging or walking, and then drink a glass of kefir and return to the diet on the condition that you extend it for one more day.

In addition, on 5, 9 and 21-day kefir diets, you can arrange for yourself the so-called "cheatmill": a pre-planned day when you can afford a little weakness, be it a piece of chocolate, sausage, a handful of chips - that you are very love, but because of the diet give it up. But it is not often possible to organize such days. If you lose weight for 5 and 9 days, then the "cheatmill" will be only once, but if it is 21 days, then there will be no more than three such days. In addition, if you decide to add "cheatmills" to your diet, it is strictly forbidden to intercept "harmfulness" on other days.

How to get out of the kefir diet?

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

In no case should you relax while admiring the transformed figure! It would be best to very gradually increase the calorie content of the food you eat by introducing new foods, and also strictly control the portion size.

Contraindications

The diet is prohibited for people suffering from high acidity of the stomach, duodenal ulcer and , and also a contraindication is adolescence.

During pregnancy and lactation

Kefir diet, pros and cons

As with any diet, there are benefits and harms. However, kefir brings definitely more benefits than harm, with its reasonable use.

Kefir diet, reviews and results

The method of losing weight on kefir is now very popular, as evidenced by numerous reviews of those who have lost weight, both positive and negative. Basically, of course, both men and women say that this is an effective way to lose weight, without harming, and even improving the body.

• “… The reviews I heard about the kefir diet for 3 days were very positive. Nothing complicated: you drink kefir and lose weight. And, indeed, you are losing weight perfectly! 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 sit on it is to cook kefir exclusively on my own. After all, the diet is based on the fact that you need live bacteria that help the stomach to work properly. Once every 2 weeks I always unload on kefir. I decided to try the weekly one, where it is promised minus 10 kg in 7 days. I did everything according to the description, difficulties, honestly, did not arise at all. Sometimes, of course, I was hungry, but washed down hunger with kefir or water. As a result, when I got on the scales in the morning, after the end of the diet, the results were, of course, not minus 10 kg, but only 5 kg. But I did not despair and decided to extend the diet to 9 days. After graduation, I lost 7.5 kg in weight. In general, I liked the result, plus I did not strain much during this diet. Therefore, I advise this system of weight loss ";
• “... I read a lot about the effectiveness of losing weight on kefir, tried to unload and sit on it for 9 days. Has achieved negligible results. And one forum advised fasting on kefir: excellent for losing weight on the abdomen, hips, sides, legs, arms, and for general recovery and cleansing of the body. The principle is that for 4 weeks you consume only kefir, sometimes with fruits, vegetables, cereals. The diet on one kefir, especially for a month, did not suit me, I just changed my mind about doing this after 1 week. I decided that I could not feel weakness, malaise, and avoid activity all month. Therefore, I advise you to sit on kefir for no more than 9 days. "

The kefir diet is very healthy and low in calories. It has been proven that kefir improves metabolism, quick elimination of toxins and accumulated metabolic products from the body. Kefir improves the work of the cardiovascular system and the gastrointestinal tract. It has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.

In addition, kefir is considered one of the prophylactic agents for vitamin deficiency, liver cirrhosis, diabetes, and cancer.

Fermented milk products, unlike milk, rarely cause allergic reactions, and also practically do not cause symptoms of lactose deficiency, because in the process of fermentation, the protein is broken down into amino acids, and is more easily absorbed in the body.

Also, lactic acid products contain a fairly large number of bifidobacteria, which normalize the intestinal microflora, and have a positive effect on immunity, and actively fight obesity. But even such a useful product has contraindications.
