The 6-petalled diet is a set of monodiets that replace each other for six consecutive days. The author of this method of dieting, Anna Johansson, tried to minimize the feeling of hunger and mental discomfort in those who lose weight during the diet, while ensuring fast results. According to reviews, a diet of 6 petals allows you to lose 3-5 kilograms of excess weight in a given period.
Consistent adherence to fish, vegetable, chicken, cereal, cottage cheese, and fruity monodiets allows you to limit yourself to not just one set, but a varied diet not only during the 6-petal diet, but on each day as well.
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 your diet, it’s a good idea to draw a six-petalled flower, each corresponding to a particular day. This flower should be hung in a conspicuous place, it is best to have a refrigerator door and tear off the petals corresponding to the last day every night, pre-writing on the weight cast for the current day. Reviews of the 6-petal diet confirm the stimulating and motivating aspect of the game.
6 petal diet menu
The effectiveness of the 6-petal diet is due to the thoughtful alternation of protein-carbohydrate days, which allows not only to provide a separate meal, but also to speed up the fat burning process. To this day, it is reliably known that all monodiets are effective only during the first 25 hours of adherence, as with prolonged use, the body adapts to changes in nutrition and enters an energy-saving mode. In the case of petals, the diet 6 menu is designed so that the body does not have time to get used to it, and therefore the weight goes almost evenly every day.
6 petal diet menu:
- Fish.The diet of the first day should be limited to fish dishes, which can also be prepared by cooking, steaming or frying. On this day, the use of mild spices, herbs, salt and fish soup is allowed. For the first day, the fish was chosen because of its digestibility and low calorie content. In addition, the polyunsaturated fatty acids in the product can saturate the body and "numb" its alertness. On the first day, the 6-petal diet recipes focus on the total amount of fish weighing 300 to 500 g;
- Vegetable.The goal of the second day is to enrich the body with carbohydrates while burning some of the fat. Such a double effect can be achieved if we also include plant carbohydrates on the menu, the energy value of which is much lower than what the body spends on digestion. On the second day, you can eat about 1-1. 5 kg of any vegetables, including potatoes, cooked in any way except frying;
- Chicken.On the third day, 500 g of white chicken meat can be consumed with the addition of a small amount of salt, spices and herbs. As with all 6 petal diet recipes, the chicken does not involve frying. Usually, after the third day, there is a significant weight loss, which can be explained by insufficient intake of carbohydrates, as a result of which the body begins to use its own fat cells for energy;
- Grain.On this day, the 6-petal diet menu includes consumption of cereals (200 g of cereals), bran, seeds, cereal breads and fiber. With the complex carbohydrates obtained with these products, the body replenishes its glycogen stores and regains energy from its own adipose tissue;
- Aludttej.On day 5, the 6-petalled diet recipes may contain 500 grams of low-fat or low-fat cottage cheese and a small amount of low-fat milk. Consuming these foods allows your body to get high quality proteins and replenish certain minerals.
- Fruit.On the last day, 1-1. 5 kg of fruit is allowed to be consumed, while it can be used raw, fried and in the form of juice.
Additional recommendations
It’s no secret that the effectiveness of any diet increases significantly if dietary changes are supported by increased physical activity. Proper fluid intake is also the key to successful weight loss - with a 6-petalled diet, two liters a day is the optimal amount of water. In addition, gas-free mineral water, green and herbal teas and rosehip brew are allowed between meals.
Adhering to a few rules during and after the 6 petal diet will not only achieve good results, but will also strengthen them:
- preference should be given to quality and fresh products.
- on appropriate days it is advisable to choose whole grains, low starch vegetables, to remove the skin of the chicken;
- you must completely eliminate all sweets, chocolates, sugars, bread and preservatives during the diet and limit your consumption as much as possible after the end of the diet;
- after six "petal" days, for some time the same foods should be consumed as during the diet, combining them, gradually increasing the caloric content of the daily diet to 1500-1800 Kcal;
- it is recommended to use this weight loss method again after one week at the earliest.
The 6-petal diet focuses on maximum results and minimal stress on the body, however, even with a number of positive reviews, the safety of this weight loss method can only be confirmed by a doctor in all cases.
