The 6-petalled diet is a set of mono-diets that are changed successively over six days. The author of this method of weight loss, Anna Johansson, tried to minimize the feeling of hunger and psychological discomfort in those who lose weight during the diet, but at the same time ensure quick results. According to reviews, the 6-petalled diet allows you to lose 3 to 5 kilograms of excess weight during this period.
Consistent adherence to a mono-diet of fish, vegetables, chicken, cereals, fresh cheese and fruit allows you to not be limited to just one set of foods, but to eat a variety not only through a 6-petalled diet, but also during each day.
In order to eliminate psychological discomfort, reduce nervousness and maintain a positive attitude, Anna Johansson suggested that weight loss be turned into a kind of game. So, before starting the diet, it is recommended to draw a flower with six petals, each of which corresponds to a specific day. This flower should be hung in a visible place, the refrigerator door is the best for that and every night you tear off the petal that corresponded to the previous day, and previously you write on it the lost weight for the current day. Reviews of the 6-petalled child confirm the stimulating and motivating aspect of this game.
Diet menu with 6 petals
The efficiency of the 6-petalled diet is due to the thoughtful alternation of protein and carbohydrates, which allows not only to ensure separate meals, but also speeds up the process of burning fat. To date, it is well known that all mono-diets are effective only in the first 25 hours of their holding, because with longer use, the body adapts to changes in diet and switches to energy-saving mode. In the case of petals, diet menu 6 is designed so that the body does not have time to get used to it, and therefore the weight goes away almost evenly every day.
6 petal diet menu:
- Fish.The diet on the first day should be limited exclusively to fish dishes that can be prepared by cooking, stewing or baking. It is allowed to use mild spices, herbs, salt, as well as the use of fish soup on this day. For the first day, the fish was chosen because of its digestibility and low calorie content. In addition, the polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in this product can saturate the body and "sleep" its alertness. On the first day, the recipes for the 6-petalled diet focused on the total amount of fish in the range of 300-500 g;
- Vegetables.The second day is designed to enrich the body with carbohydrates, but at the same time burn some fat. This double effect can be achieved by including plant carbohydrates in the menu, whose energy value is significantly less than the cost the body spends on their digestion. On the second day you can eat about 1-1, 5 kg of any vegetable, including potatoes, cooking it in any way other than frying;
- Chicken.On the third day, it is allowed to eat 500 g of chicken white meat with the addition of a small amount of salt, spices and herbs. As with all 6-petal diet recipes, chicken does not include frying. As a rule, after the third day there is a significant weight loss, which is explained by insufficient carbohydrate intake, which is why the body begins to use its own fat cells for energy;
- Cereals.On this day, the 6-petal diet menu includes the use of cereals (200 g of cereals), bran, seeds, cereals and fiber. Complex carbohydrates received with these products, the body replenishes glycogen stores and again receives energy from its own adipose tissue;
- Curd.For day 5, 6-petal diet recipes may include 500 grams of low-fat or low-fat cottage cheese and a small amount of low-fat milk. Consuming these foods will allow your body to get high quality proteins and replenish some minerals.
- Fruits.On the last day it is allowed to eat 1-1, 5 kg of fruit, and it is possible to use them raw, baked and in the form of juices.
