The diet "6 petals" was developed by dietician Anna Johansson. It is based on the alternation of single-component diets, with which you can lose weight every day by 0.5-0.8 kg.
The essence of diet
The diet lasts only six days, for each day there is a mono-diet, and they must be observed strictly in this order:
- 1 day - 1 petal - only fish
- 2 day - 2 petals - only vegetables
- 3 day - 3 petals - only chicken
- 4 day - 4 petals - only cereals
- 5 day - 5 petal - only cottage cheese
- 6 day - 6 petal - only fruits
The "6 petals" diet is based on observing the principle of a separate diet, in this case one-component foods are trapped in the stomach, carbohydrates do not mix with proteins, so fats are split.
In most cases, people start to lose weight exactly when they eat monotonously, so the body has to digest food in anticipation of other products as if it were idle, and it begins to draw on additional energy from its own reserves.
Moreover, with mono-diets, the body is accustomed to get used to such a diet and to switch to energy saving, but in such a short period of time it will not have time to do it. Since you alternate proteins with carbohydrates and thanks to this scheme you lose weight every day.
The European Weight Loss Center conducted an investigation that showed that a diet that lasts no more than 25 hours, most effectively helps to burn excess weight.
During this diet, you will not feel the feeling of hunger, because it is very easily tolerated, unlike other weight loss systems.
The psychological basis of the diet
The author proposed the idea of six petals for a reason.
Anna Johansson says that even the most effective and effective food systems will be inactive if during this period a woman feels depressed and uncomfortable.
Anna suggests drawing a flower with six-petals to those women who chose this diet and are going to stick to it. This flower should be hung in the most prominent place. On each leaf, write the name of the day, for example, fruit. And every day on the corresponding petal write how many grams lost, and tear it off. So you will be able to turn an ordinary boring process into an exciting game and it will stimulate.
Those women who have already lost weight on this diet, advise such a flower with petals to hang on the refrigerator.
Many women have heard that mono-diets affect the body in a negative way, and therefore treat them with special caution. But the body does not have time to spare vitamin and mineral reserves during the "petal" technique.
Polandites
Monodiet alternate with each other. Food with the protein content is replaced by carbohydrate food and fiber. In those days when the body receives only proteins, it remains deprived in carbohydrates and glucose, and these are the main sources of life and energy. Of course, in order for all the systems in the body to work properly, proteins are needed, because they supply the amino acids by digestion in the body. Those amino acids that are not used for synthesis are converted into glucose. And in the period of fasting, when the muscle mass of a person is a source of energy, it is especially important to consume proteins, otherwise you will lose your non-fat, and your own musculature. And this does not suit anyone.
Therefore, Anna Johansson thought through everything to the smallest detail, because of the diet, the weight of the body decreases and the amount of muscle mass is minimally affected. Thus, the body will not be depleted either physically or psychologically.
Menuets "6 petals"
So, as mentioned earlier, in this diet you must strictly observe the order of the days and thus alternate carbohydrates and proteins. Otherwise, you can not wait for the result. For each day you have to make a menu, following these principles:
The first day is a fish one, so you only need to consume fish, and you should know that you can cook it in different ways, if only the dish was dietary. So, you can not fry fish, you better give preference to cooking in the oven, steamer, stew or use the grill. You can consume salt, but in moderation. In addition, you can safely eat fish broth with herbs and seasonings.
The second day is vegetable, which means that only vegetables are allowed to be eaten, while they can be raw, stewed or boiled. Eat all vegetables, even potatoes, in which the starch is contained, not again, do not overdo it. It is best to combine it with other vegetables, which are lighter, for example, cook the veal. In addition, drink vegetable juices, add greens, seasonings and salt.
The third day is chicken - the carbohydrate day is replaced by a protein one. You need to eat only chicken breast without skin. You can cook it, bake it in the oven and extinguish it. Protein has the property of easy digestion and unwrapped in fats. You can also eat chicken broth with herbs, salt and spices.
The fourth day is cereal. You can eat absolutely any porridge, cook them only on the water, you can add greens and a little salt. In addition to kashvah, you can eat sprouted grains, bran, seeds and grain loaves. Because they are complex carbohydrates, they need additional energy for processing and digestion, moreover, they make up the level of glycogen, which the body lost on the protein day. You can drink kvass and tea without sugar.
The fifth day is curd, so you need to consume cottage cheese, replenishing the body's mineral reserves. Use cottage cheese with a fat content of less than 5% - it's quite low in calories, so the body will have to split its fats to work well. You can drink milk.
And finally, the sixth day is fruity, it is filled with vitamins and minerals. In the last day of the diet, you can eat any fruit in a baked or raw form. It is possible to drink fruit juices, but it is better to dilute them with water, you can add vanillin and cinnamon.
If you still did not achieve the desired result, then on the seventh day you can start to observe the diet from the very beginning or, if this day falls on the day off, then you can build up the unloading.
If you follow a diet every day you can drink black or green tea, 1-2 cups of coffee and you should definitely drink water without gas. It is impossible to consume sugar.
