Kefir diet: reviews, results and opinions of doctors ^

Kefir diet refers to highly effective weight loss programs. The results of it are sometimes simply staggering - in fact, when it is observed, the real loss is 1 kg of excess weight daily. Although, of course, the final outcome will depend on the individual characteristics of the slimming and his willpower.

To lose weight on yogurt was more effective and did not lead to a deterioration in overall health, it is necessary to choose the right product for the diet and observe several important recommendations.

How to choose kefir for the diet

• When buying kefir, pay attention to its composition. It should contain two main ingredients - milk( preferably whole) and leaven.
• The fat content of the product should not exceed 0.5-1.5%.
• Carefully follow the date of manufacture on the label. You do not need to take the freshest kefir - if it is made today, it can be oversaturated with live crops, which will lead to excessive gastrointestinal function and excessive gas production.
• But the product with the date of manufacture later than three days, too, will not work - its useful properties will be greatly reduced.
• Probiotics intended for long-term storage are subjected to additional heat treatment, and therefore are not recommended for dietary nutrition.
• If the manufacturer of sour-milk products does not cause confidence, you can prepare yogurt yourself - the starter for it is sold in pharmacies.
• It should be noted that you can not drink kefir cold, because it is much less absorbed by the body due to the slowing down of the cleavage of nutrients.

Reviews about the kefir diet are more positive. The dietary program is fairly balanced and very effective. A greater result can be achieved if, on the way out of it, to switch to the correct diet and limit oneself to eating flour, fatty and sweet.

Nutritionists are wary of all mono-diets, and kefir has not escaped this fate. You can not drink sour-milk products in large quantities for more than three days in a row - this threatens the appearance of problems in the work of the digestive tract. It is believed that most kefir dietary methods are suitable for unloading days, and in this regard they can not be overestimated.

And remember - to force the body in any case impossible! If at the beginning of adherence to the dietary program you feel a sharp deterioration in health, weight loss should be stopped immediately.
