The 6-petal diet is a set of monodiets that are replaced in succession over six days. The author of this method of losing weight, Anna Johansson, tried to minimize the feeling of hunger and psychological discomfort for those who lose weight while dieting, but at the same time guarantee fast results. According to reviews, the 6-petal diet allows you to lose 3 to 5 kilograms of excess weight during the specified period.
The constant adherence to the mono-diets of fish, vegetables, chicken, cereals, ricotta and fruit allows you not to limit yourself to a single set of foods, but to eat in a varied way not only during the 6-petal diet, but also during every single day .
To eliminate psychological distress, reduce nervousness and maintain a positive attitude, Anna Johansson suggested turning weight loss into a game of sorts. So, before starting the diet, she is recommended to draw a flower with six petals, each of which corresponds to a specific day. This flower should be hung in a conspicuous place, the refrigerator door is best for this, and every evening to tear off the petal that corresponded to the last day, having noted on it the weight lost for the current day. Reviews of the 6-petal diet confirm the challenging and motivating aspect of this game.
6-petal diet menu
The effectiveness of the 6-petal diet is due to the thoughtful alternation of protein and carbohydrate days, which allows not only to provide separate meals, but also to accelerate the fat burning process. To date, it is already reliably known that all mono diets are effective only in the first 25 hours of their observance, since with longer use of them, the body adapts to changes in nutrition and switches to a saving mode energetic. In the case of the 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 disappears almost evenly every day.
6 Petals Diet Menu:
- Fish.The diet on the first day should be limited to fish dishes only, which can be prepared by boiling, stewing or baking. On this day, the use of mild seasonings, herbs, salt and the use of fish broth is allowed. For the first day, fish was chosen for its digestibility and low calorie content. Furthermore, the polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in this product can saturate the body and "lull" its alertness. On the first day, recipes for the 6-petal diet focus 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 of the fat. It is possible to achieve such a double effect by including vegetable carbohydrates in the menu, the energy value of which is much lower than the costs that the body spends on their digestion. On the second day, you can eat about 1-1. 5 kg of any vegetables, including potatoes, cooking them in any way, except for frying;
- Chicken.During the third day it is allowed to eat 500 g of white chicken meat with the addition of a small amount of salt, seasonings and herbs. As with all 6 petal diet recipes, chicken does not involve frying. As a rule, after the third day, a significant decrease in weight occurs, which is explained by an insufficient intake of carbohydrates, 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, loaves of cereals and fibers. The complex carbohydrates received with these products, the body replenishes the glycogen stores and receives energy again from its own adipose tissue;
- Curd.For day 5, recipes for the 6-petal diet can 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.
- Fruit.On the last day it is allowed to eat 1-1. 5 kg of fruit, while it is possible to use them both raw, cooked and in the form of juices.
Further recommendations
It is no secret that the effectiveness of any diet increases significantly if changes in nutrition are supported by increased physical activity. Furthermore, the key to successful weight loss is sufficient fluid intake: for a 6-petal diet, two liters is considered the optimal amount of water per day.
