Kefir-buckwheat diet

The kefir-buckwheat diet belongs to the category of low-carbohydrate mono-diets. On the one hand, it is a milder version of the well-known, effective, but very strict buckwheat diet. On the other hand, the combination of kefir and buckwheat in the diet is an even more effective method of weight loss. Indeed, in this case, the cleansing function, which is the main one in the kefir diet, is complemented by the function of saturating the body with important nutrients, vitamins and microelements contained in the cereal.

The duration of this diet is usually 7 days, and weight loss when using it is up to 10 kg, depending on the initial weight. In addition, it guarantees good bowel function, relief from heaviness in the lower abdomen and a feeling of lightness.

Features of nutrition on the buckwheat-kefir diet

Cooking buckwheat for this diet is of fundamental importance, since it is the main product. Pour boiling water over the cereal, drain the water and pour boiling water again at a ratio of 1:2, wrap and leave for 10-12 hours. This is usually done in the evening, preparing a portion of buckwheat for the whole next day. There is a method when buckwheat is poured with kefir for swelling, but for intestinal motility the first option is preferable.

Kefir, low-fat or 1 percent, is consumed separately or mixed with cereal. Particular attention is paid to its freshness. You should not use it if more than 3 days have passed since production, as this may cause constipation.

Kefir-buckwheat diet menu

The number of meals per day is 5-6.
