The 6-petal diet is a set of single diets that replace each other for six days in a row. The author of this weight loss method, 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 ensure fast results. According to reviews, the 6 petal diet allows you to lose 3 to 5 pounds of excess weight during the specified period.
Consistent adherence to single diets with fish, vegetables, chicken, cereals, cottage cheese and fruit allows you to not be limited to a single set of foods, but to eat varied not only during the 6-petal diet, but also during eachindividual day.
To eliminate psychological discomfort, reduce nervousness and maintain a positive attitude, Anna Johansson suggested turning weight loss into a kind of game. So before you start the diet, it is recommended to design 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 it and every night to tear the petal corresponding to the last day of it, having previously recorded the weight lost for the current day in it. Reviews of the 6-petal diet confirm the stimulating and motivating aspect of this game.
Diet menu with 6 petals
The effectiveness of the 6-petal diet is due to the thoughtful alternation of protein and carbohydrate days, which allows not only the provision of separate meals, but also the acceleration of the fat burning process. To date, it is already well known that all mono-diets are effective only in the first 25 hours of their observance, since with their greater use, the body adapts to changes in diet and goes into energy saving mode. In the case of horseshoes, 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 removed almost evenly every day.
6 petal diet menu:
- Fish.The diet of the first day should be limited exclusively to fish dishes, which can be prepared by boiling, boiling or baking. On this day the use of mild spices, herbs, salt, as well as the use of fish broth is allowed. 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 "worry" its alertness. On the first day, the recipes for the 6-petal diet focus on the total amount of fish in the range of 300-500 g.
- Vegetable.The second day is designed to enrich the body with carbohydrates, but at the same time to burn part of the fat. It is possible to achieve such a double result, including plant carbohydrates in the menu, the energy value of which is much lower than the cost that the body spends to digest them. On the second day, you can eat about 1-1, 5 kg of vegetables, including potatoes, cooking them in any way other than frying.
- Chicken.During the third day, it is allowed to consume 500 g of white chicken meat with the addition of a small amount of salt, spices and herbs. As with the 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 the 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 diet menu with 6 petals includes the use of cereals (200 grams of cereals), bran, seeds, loaves of cereals and fiber. The complex carbohydrates obtained with these products, the body replenishes glycogen stores and receives energy again from its own adipose tissue.
- Yoghurt.For Day 5, 6-petalled 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 receive high quality protein and replenish certain minerals.
- Fruit.On the last day, the consumption of 1-1, 5 kilos of fruit is allowed, while it is possible to use both raw, cooked, and in the form of juice.
Additional recommendations
It is no secret that the effectiveness of any diet increases significantly if dietary changes are supported by increased physical activity. Also, the key to successful weight loss is adequate fluid intake - for a 6-petalled diet, two liters is considered the optimal amount of water per day. In addition, between meals, the use of mineral water without gas, green and herbal decoction, rose decoction is allowed.
