Kefir-buckwheat diet for 10 days
No less effective is the kefir-buckwheat diet for quick weight loss, which is one of the strict mono-diets and allows you to lose 10 kg of excess weight in 10 days of weight loss.
The method of making porridge from buckwheat is borrowed from raw foodists, so you don't have to cook cereals. The night before, you need to sort and rinse 250 grams of buckwheat, pour 500 ml of boiling water over it and cover with a lid. By morning, buckwheat groats will swell and become crumbly, fragrant, porridge that has retained all its beneficial properties.
The entire volume of steamed buckwheat is divided into five servings. The first and second days of the diet should only eat buckwheat. From the third day, 500-1000 ml of low-fat kefir per day is added to it. In order for the diet to be as productive as possible, you need to drink kefir half an hour before eating buckwheat or half an hour after. The last meal should take place 4 hours before going to bed. In addition to buckwheat and kefir, you need to drink 1.5 liters of pure water per day.
Especially effectively extra pounds "leave" during the first two days, this happens due to the body getting rid of the accumulated fluid in the tissues. From the third day, this process noticeably slows down, but from that moment, along with the fluid that has not yet gone, excess fat deposits begin to disappear. They leave slowly but surely, since the body has no choice but to replenish energy reserves at the expense of them.
Kefir diets for fast and effective weight loss, involving the use of buckwheat, apples and kefir, “work” like a soft “brush” that cleanses the intestinal walls. The fiber contained in buckwheat and apples contributes to the removal of all excess, and kefir gives a mild laxative effect.
