It is possible to get rid of the extra ten or even twelve kilograms of weight in a short time. In this we are assured by fans of a hard diet. Such results are given by the popular buckwheat diet for 7 days. She found her fans among Russian and Ukrainian women. Losing weight on this program really gives excellent results. However, you will have to figure out how useful it is to use the same product for seven days. How to cook buckwheat porridge to lose weight? These and other nuances of the diet will be considered in the article.
The unique composition of cereals
All cereals are about the same in calories. But this one stands out from the entire list with a lower carbohydrate content and a useful composition of vitamins and minerals. If buckwheat is prepared on water, it delivers fiber, B vitamins for a good mood, as well as iron, calcium, copper, potassium and magnesium to the human body. All these components have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, liver, intestines and have a strengthening effect on the hair and nails.
This product is considered dietary and only with a balanced diet is able to benefit the body. Therefore, the buckwheat diet for weight loss for 7 days should not consist of one cereal crop. Nutritionists recommend including greens, vegetables, yogurt and necessarily water in the diet.
The benefits of buckwheat weight loss system
Before people who choose another dietary restriction in order to lose extra pounds, there are a huge number of different diets. It used to be fashionable to lose weight according to recipes of world stars, now there is a tendency to a healthy diet with no exhausting diets.
But still there are situations when it is necessary to put the figure in order in a short time. So, a buckwheat diet for weight loss for 7 days is the best choice in this case, because it has several advantages:
- Lack of hunger due to long digestible carbohydrates in porridge.
- Intestinal cleansing due to fiber.
- The lack of sugar and salt in the diet aggravates the senses of taste buds, which in the future, after the cessation of the buckwheat nutrition system, reduces salt intake. And this helps to avoid many cardiovascular diseases and fluid retention in the body.
- The result of a diet from three to seven days is a weight loss of three to twelve kilograms.
- The main product of the diet is buckwheat. The price of cereals per kilogram averages 90 rubles. A day is enough 500 grams of product. Therefore, another advantage of the diet is its cost.
Contraindications
Having familiarized themselves with the results and benefits of a buckwheat diet, many will want to use it. However, as with any dietary restriction, you need to know the features of your body, or rather the presence of diseases. Buckwheat diet for 7 days is prohibited for use by people with diseases of the liver, blood vessels, heart, gastrointestinal tract, diabetics, as well as women during lactation and bearing a child. If there are no contraindications from the above, but after the start of the buckwheat weight loss program, the health condition worsened, then this is also a signal to stop the diet.
Do not rely on good health. Such experiments should be preceded by consultation with a physician or nutritionist. In general, such a cereal nutrition system is difficult to tolerate psychologically; literally on the second or third day, those who lose weight cannot tolerate buckwheat by smell.
Menu
If until this moment the reader thought that the diet implies, in addition to cereal, the presence of at least chicken breast in the diet, then he was mistaken. Everything is much tougher. The menu of the buckwheat diet for 7 days is porridge, tea, water. But in order to avoid a breakdown, it is still allowed to eat one apple a day, drink a glass of low-fat kefir and supplement the side dish with greens, cucumber and tomato. You can make kefir and buckwheat soup, and add fermented milk drink to steamed porridge and season everything with herbs.
Losing weight morning begins with a glass of water, after which 1/4 or 1/3 of the buckwheat prepared in advance is eaten. The remaining servings are distributed throughout the day.
Tea can be varied with mint, or on a hot day it can be replaced with a menthol plant. If weakness occurs, nutritionists recommend adding one teaspoon of honey to water or tea.
Buckwheat-kefir diet: 7 days of losing weight
One of the modifications of the cereal nutrition system is the buckwheat diet with the addition of a dairy product to the diet. Yes, and in a limited buckwheat diet, kefir is present to make up for the missing protein in the body, but not in that quantity. In the kefir variety of the cereal diet of the fermented milk product per day, it is allowed to drink from one to one and a half liters.
Nutritionists talk about the benefits of such nutrition. The fact is that a source of protein appears in the diet, which is not enough in buckwheat, and due to this, the metabolism is accelerated. As a result, losing weight loses more calories and at the end of the diet, following the recommendations, does not gain lost kilograms. The menu of the kefir-buckwheat system is the same as in the cereal version, only the amount of fermented milk product consumed increases.
When there is no desire to eat porridge at all
According to reviews of people who have experienced the features of buckwheat diet, there is a tendency to intolerance to cereal crops on the third day. Therefore, in order not to ruin the plans for losing weight, you can prepare a casserole of buckwheat and vegetables for a change. To do this, ready-made porridge must be placed in a glass baking dish, pre-treated with a small amount of olive oil. Also for the dish you will need chopped tomatoes, boiled and grated carrots and, if desired, slightly stewed cabbage.
Vegetables are laid out on top of the porridge, first carrots, and then tomatoes and cabbage. Next, the diet food is sent to the oven until ready. If you cook such a casserole at least every other day, then the buckwheat diet for 7 days will pass with minimal psychological stress.
When steamed buckwheat and casserole are bored, there is porridge with vegetable broth in the menu of the cereal diet for such a case. Preparation consists of two stages: the broth is cooked separately and the cereal crop is poured with boiling water. Then the two components of the food are combined before use. The broth is prepared using whole onions, carrots and tomatoes or any other vegetables of your choice.
Purchase and preparation of cereals
Deciding to correct the figure with buckwheat porridge, it is important to choose the right cereal. It must be whole grain. It is such buckwheat that has an intact shell, and this is a sign of the presence of B vitamins, which should not be discarded during a limited diet. These substances, as already mentioned, are responsible for a good mood.
How to cook porridge? Classical cooking of buckwheat is not suitable in this case. The cereals are steamed. Nutritionists here provide the right choice: cook porridge with kefir or water. In any case, buckwheat should be washed and filtered. Then, in a 1: 2 ratio, it is necessary to pour the cereal with boiling water, or just kefir. If cooking is done using water, then buckwheat is wrapped for at least 4 hours. In the case of using kefir for swelling, simply leave the product at room temperature.
General rules during the diet
- For a couple of days, the body should be prepared for dietary restriction. To do this, the total calorie content of the diet is reduced, bad habits are rejected, and the last meal is set three hours before bedtime.
- A daily serving of finished buckwheat is 800 grams. It is divided into 4-5 receptions and is eaten during the day.
- The last intake of porridge occurs 3 hours before bedtime.
- Since the cereal nutrition system intensively removes fluid from the body, from 1.5 l to 3 l of pure water should be drunk on a slimming day.
- Buckwheat cooking is replaced by steaming cereals.
- Dishes are not seasoned with salt, sauces, sugar, milk and butter. The exception is some foods that require a small amount of olive oil to make.
- In case of irritability and a feeling of psychological discomfort, it is allowed to eat an apple a day and drink water sweetened with honey.
- Buckwheat diet “7 days - 10 kg” requires replenishment of the body with the missing vitamins and minerals. Therefore, a multivitamin complex should be selected with a doctor.
- It is forbidden to drink alcohol.
- Monodiet should not last more than a week.
- Minor physical activity 2-3 times a week is allowed during cereal weight loss.
How to readjust to a normal diet?
A buckwheat diet for 7 days is only halfway to the desired result. Weight quickly lost in a week can return just as quickly if you do not adhere to proper nutrition in the future. The way out of such a diet should be gradual. That is, on the first day after the cereal diet, you can not load the body with butter, sweet and fatty foods.
By volume, the amount of food should correspond to a standard glass (200 ml). Meals should be fractional, 4-5 times a day. Dinner is also taken three hours before bedtime, and it’s nice to leave the same buckwheat on it. But now you can safely supplement the side dish with vegetables. It is advisable to include meat products and fish in the diet on the third day after the cereal diet.
Fasting days
When the result is achieved, that is, centimeters on the waist and hips are satisfied, and the kilograms on the scales are pleasing, it is important to consolidate this success forever. In order not to start the body until the moment requiring a strict restriction in nutrition, it is necessary to adhere to a healthy lifestyle all the time. But there are times when it is impossible to give up sweets, so fasting days allow balancing the situation.
Nutritionists advise to arrange "easy days" 1-2 times a week. The menu for unloading is already familiar - it is buckwheat. The price for health is undeniable. If some nutritionists condemn mono-diets for a week, then they respond positively to fasting days on buckwheat with kefir . Firstly, the intestines are cleansed, weight is lost, and secondly, volitional qualities develop that contribute to the transition to proper nutrition.
Doctors opinions
In the list of effective, but irrational methods of losing weight, according to nutritionists, there is a buckwheat diet (7 days). The result of minus 8-12 kg, according to doctors, is an intermittent achievement. The inappropriateness of such a system of getting rid of extra pounds is that it consists only of carbohydrates. Long-term lack of protein affects the loss of muscle tissue and a decrease in metabolism.
Nutritionists say that the maximum term for a cereal diet is three days. And they add about the rationality of buckwheat days. Among the monodiet modifications, buckwheat-kefir is considered full-fledged. Doctors insist on observing the limited cereal nutrition to include fruits, herbs, vegetables and kefir in the diet. And any ailment should be a signal for a conscious refusal of a diet.
Buckwheat diet for 7 days: reviews
Analytics reviews that out of ten losing weight for two, the diet is not suitable. Someone says that after three days he lost 1 kg, and someone on the fifth day worsens his health and overcomes weakness.
Of the positive aspects, people highlight the availability of the cereal nutrition system, effectiveness and lack of hunger. But almost every review has a conclusion about the superiority of a healthy diet, rather than overeating, after which it takes a lot of willpower to throw off intolerable kilograms.
As for weight loss, it is different for everyone. On average, 5 kg is lost, not 10, as stated in the diet. In most cases, in a discussion of the results, people write about the return after a while of lost centimeters at the waist and hips. And this suggests that maintaining a stable optimal weight is possible only with constant observance of proper nutrition.
The disadvantages of the cereal system of weight loss
- Due to the restriction of energy received from food during the diet, active physical activity is prohibited. Allowed only walking and swimming.
- A meager menu is depressing and can lead to breakdowns. And this is overeating and extra kilograms.
- Fast weight loss, of course, is an indisputable plus, but if the results are not properly fixed, the return of lost weight is possible.
- Inferior diet. A prolonged lack of salt, protein and sugar affects the well-being of losing weight.
