The 6-petal diet is a set of mono-diets that replace each other in a row for six days. The author of this weight loss method, Anna Johansson, tries to minimize hunger and psychological discomfort for those who lose weight during the diet, but at the same time ensures quick results. According to reviews, a 6 -petal diet allows you to lose from 3 to 5 pounds of excess weight in a specified period.
Consistent adherence to fish, vegetables, poultry, cereals, cottage cheese and fruit mono-diet allows you not to be limited to just one set of foods, but to eat varied not only throughout the 6-petal diet, but also on eachindividual days.
To eliminate psychological discomfort, reduce anxiety and maintain a positive attitude, Anna Johansson suggests turning weight loss into a kind of game. Therefore, before starting the diet, it is recommended to draw a flower with six petals, each of which corresponds to a particular day. The flower should be hung in a conspicuous place, the refrigerator door is best for this, and every evening to tear the petals corresponding to the last day of it, having previously recorded the weight lost for the current day on it. Reviews on the 6 petals diet confirm the stimulating and motivating aspects of this game.
6 petal diet menu
The effectiveness of the 6 -petal diet is due to the thoughtful daily replacement of proteins and carbohydrates, which allows not only to prepare separate meals, but also to speed up the process of fat burning. To date, it is well known that all mono-diets are effective only in the first 25 hours of its adherence, because with longer use, the body adapts to changes in diet and enters an energy-saving mode. In the case of petals, the diet menu 6 is designed in such a way that the body does not have time to get used to it, and therefore the weight is lost almost the same every day.
6 Petal Diet Menu:
- fish.The first day’s diet should be limited exclusively to fish dishes, which can be prepared by boiling, stewing or baking. It is permissible today to use mild seasonings, herbs, salt, as well as the use of fish stew water. For the first day, the fish was chosen because of its digestibility and low calorie content. In addition, the unsaturated fatty acids contained in this product can saturate the body and "resist" its alertness. On the first day, the recipe for a 6-petal diet focused on the 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. It is possible to achieve such a double effect by including plant carbohydrates in the menu, the energy value of which is much lower than the cost spent by the body for their digestion. On the second day, you can eat about 1-1. 5 kg of any vegetable, including potatoes, by cooking it in any way, except for frying;
- chicken.On the third day, it is allowed to eat 500 g of chicken white meat with the addition of a little salt, seasonings and herbs. Like all 6 petal diet recipes, chicken does not involve frying. As a rule, after the third day, there is a significant weight loss, which is explained by insufficient intake of carbohydrates, as a result of which the body begins to use its own fat cells for energy;
- grain.Today, the 6 -petal diet menu involves the consumption of whole grains (200 g of cereal), bran, seeds, whole grain breads and fiber. Complex carbohydrates received with this product, the body replenishes glycogen stores, and again receives energy from its own adipose tissue;
- Buttermilk.For Day 5, a 6-petal diet recipe may include 500 grams of low-fat or low-fat cottage cheese and a little low-fat milk. Eating these foods will allow your body to get high quality protein and add some minerals.
- fruits.On the last day, it is allowed to eat 1-1. 5 kg of fruit, while it can be used raw, baked, and in the form of juice.
Additional suggestions
It is no secret that the effectiveness of any diet increases significantly if changes in diet are supported by increased physical activity. Also, the key to successful weight loss is adequate fluid intake - for a 6 -petal diet, two liters is considered the optimal amount of water per day. In addition, between meals, it is permissible to use mineral water without gas, green tea and herbs, decoction of rosehip.
