The 6-petalled diet is a set of mono-diets that alternate with each other for six days. The author of this method of weight loss, Anna Johansson, tried to minimize the feeling of hunger and psychological discomfort for those who lose weight during the diet, but at the same time to provide quick results. According to reviews, the 6-petalled diet allows you to lose 3 to 5 pounds of excess weight during the specified period.
Consistent adherence to monodiet with fish, vegetables, chicken, cereals, cottage cheese and fruit allows you to not be limited to just one set of foods, but to eat a variety not only during the 6-leaf diet, but also in each individualday.
To eliminate psychological discomfort, reduce nervousness and maintain a positive attitude, Anna Johansson proposed to turn weight loss into a kind of game. So, before you start 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 prominent place, the refrigerator door is the best for this and every night to tear off the petal that corresponds to the last day, having previously written on it the weight lost for the current day. Reviews of the 6-petalled diet confirm the stimulating and motivating aspect of this game.
Diet menu with 6 leaves
The effectiveness of the 6-petalled diet is due to the careful alternation of protein and carbohydrate days, which allows not only to ensure a separate diet, but also to speed up the process of burning fat. To date, it is well known that all monodiet are effective only in the first 25 hours of their observance, because with prolonged use their body adapts to changes in diet and goes into energy-saving mode. In the case of petals, the menu of diet 6 is designed in such a way that the body does not have time to get used to it and therefore the weight disappears almost evenly every day.
Diet menu with 6 leaves:
- Fish.The diet on the first day should be limited exclusively to fish dishes, which can be prepared by cooking, stewing or baking. On this day it is allowed to use soft spices, herbs, salt, as well as the use of fish broth. 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 "calm" its alertness. On the first day, the recipes for a diet with 6 petals are focused on the total amount of fish in the range of 300-500 g;
- Зеленчукова.The second day is designed to enrich the body with carbohydrates, but at the same time burn some fat. It is possible to achieve such a double effect by including plant carbohydrates in the menu, whose energy value is much lower than the cost that the body spends on their digestion. On the second day you can eat about 1-1, 5 kg of all kinds of vegetables, including potatoes, cooking them in any way except 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, as a result of which the body begins to use its own fat cells for energy;
- Cereal.On this day, the 6-petal diet menu includes the use of cereals (200 g of cereals), bran, seeds, whole grain breads and fiber. The complex carbohydrates obtained with these products, the body replenishes glycogen stores and again receives energy from its own adipose tissue;
- Cottage cheese.For Day 5, 6-leaf diet recipes may include 500 grams of low-fat or low-fat cottage cheese and a small amount of low-fat milk. Eating these foods will allow your body to get high quality protein 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 both raw, baked and in the form of juices.
