Many women wear out with hunger and physical exertion, trying to correct their figure at least a little. The 6-petal diet is an opportunity to eat cookies and meatballs, but not to gain weight, but, on the contrary, to lose weight.
The petal diet, developed by Swedish nutritionist Anna Johansson, is the dream of every girl who wants to lose those extra pounds in the shortest possible time. The image of a diet invented by her - a flower consisting of 6 petals, allows women to lose weight effortlessly. By tearing day after day on a paper petal, you can "snap off" extra pounds from yourself.
The essence of the diet
The Swedish 6-petal diet has one feature - every day (and there are only 6 of them) a new product appears on the table, but apart from the allowed dishes, nothing else can be consumed on this day. The menu consists of alternating carbohydrates and proteins, so it can be safely attributed to a healthy and balanced diet.
Since you have to eat the same food all day, the body needs to get energy from stored subcutaneous fat. At the same time, he can't get used to the daily exchange of food, which also doesn't give him the opportunity to store some reserve fat.
The chamomile diet consists of 6-day cycles, each of which contains a specific product - fish, vegetables, chicken, cereal, cottage cheese, fruits.
There are no exact restrictions in the system. Nutritionists only suggest following certain recommendations - eating vegetables and fruits in an amount of not more than 1. 5 kg a day, cottage cheese, chicken and fish - about ½ kg, cereal - a maximum of 300 g.
Products scheduled per day cannot be exchanged. The mono-diet menu should be followed without question.
The main criteria to fulfill the diet nutrition system:
- A product for a day.
- Drinking liquids during meals is prohibited. You can drink juices, tea, herbal infusions and water between meals.
- It is not recommended to eat cakes, sweets, add spices to food.
- You need to eat in small portions, but often.
- Food must be chewed well.

circles

It is important to understand that in the first few days the weight may not disappear. Results will be noticeable in the middle of the cycle, when the arrow on the scale immediately drops to 2 kilograms or more.
going off the diet
With any weight loss system, it is important to complete the process correctly. The output of the 6 petal diet should be smooth. To do this, you need to gradually add others to the allowed products, expanding the diet and increasing the calorie content of dishes.
If during the circle it was comfortable to eat only healthy foods, you should not give up such a correct habit and start eating fast food. The less fat, smoked meats and other prohibited ingredients in the diet, the longer the result will last and possibly improve.

You can get rid of excess weight in a short period of time. But if you don't follow a healthy lifestyle in the future, the lost pounds will quickly return.
