The right buckwheat diet for weight loss

If a Frenchwoman or a Japanese woman can not even imagine how to cook one buckwheat every day, then a resident of our country will not see anything understandable or terrible in this idea. Buckwheat diet for weight loss has long been known and even helped a lot. True, like all coin-diets, there are many contraindications. . .

What such a diet will bring

Due to the nutritional value and vitamin composition of buckwheat, this mono-diet (even if not enriched with other components) is considered less dangerous than a diet based on the use of a single product - rice, bananas, kefir.

Weight loss is achieved quickly. True, if you do not quit the diet properly, the work will be wasted.

The basic buckwheat diet is based on 100% nutrition of this grain.This refers to steam (fried) buckwheat, without butter, milk, frying, sauces.

But there are also known dietary options in which porridge can be supplemented with vegetables, fermented milk products (low-fat kefir, unsweetened yogurt), unsweetened fresh juices, honey and dried fruit.

Desirable output:- 10 kg per week. . .

How buckwheat works

This cereal iscomplex carbohydrates. . . Once in the gastrointestinal tract, these carbohydrates are broken down for hours. Hence - the feeling of satiety, which comes quickly and lasts 3-4 hours.

But buckwheat has a low calorie content (110 kcal, if cooked in water). For an adult body, some 50-100 porridge will be a little energetic porridge, so it will draw energy from the reserves, breaking down the accumulated fat.

Important: in the first 2-3 days, the result may not be visible (the body can "interfere" with the carbohydrates in buckwheat). But on day 4, the effect will be striking. Moreover, the greater a person's weight gain before the diet, the faster this person will lose weight.

The main rules for losing weight on buckwheat food

1. Finish your last supper before 18: 00. At night - no, no (not even buckwheat).
2. If the steamed cereal turns out greasy, mix it with kefir (fat - free).
3. It is necessary to leave the diet smooth, otherwise the "burnt" will return within the next 2-3 weeks.
4. Buy a multivitamin. No matter how useful this porridge is, there is "not everything". If you ignore this rule, you can do great harm to your own health.
5. Daily meals should be 4 or 5.
6. Between courses of such diets, it is necessary to take a six-month break, eating whole and balanced. The body needs time to replenish the supply of substances necessary for vital activity, which is lost on the mono-diet.
7. Drink water. Constantly, but no more than a glass at a time. The water must be clean, free of gas (mineral water or drinking from a filter). The daily minimum is water from 1. 5 liters (if you have high growth and significant volumes, drink more, from 2 liters). Coffee and tea are allowed, but not sweet and without fanaticism.
8. Eat all parts of the buckwheat slowly, chewing three tablespoons well.

Will only cook cereals

Ideally yes, the diet is based only on buckwheat steamed in boiling water.

But even strong men rarely manage to withstand such a diet (not to mention women, sweet and weak). Therefore, nutritionists are allowed to make indulgences in the form of fresh vegetables (lungs - cucumbers, tomatoes), oil - free stewed vegetable marrow, and nuts.

Add bran to buckwheat - this will diversify the taste of porridge and help cleanse the intestines.

Can buckwheat be cooked for diet incorrectly

Yes, if notsteamand cook it.

Weigh the buckwheat before cooking. Do not sprinkle cereals "by eye".

Do the following: 1 part buckwheat (say, an average of 200 g per day), pour 2. 5 parts of boiling water (in this case, 500 g of water). Cover the bowl with a lid (or other bowl), wrap this "structure" on top with a thick towel.

Cook in the evening, in the morning the buckwheat will be ready.

Important: no salt or sugar added! Also banned oil, seasonings. Once one tries to improve the taste of buckwheat, even with the help of non-high-calorie dill, curry, it "launches" the appetite, and one wants to eat more.

Alternative cooking method

Buckwheat cannot be boiled, as it is believed that due to boiling, cereals lose many useful properties.

You can save even more benefits of buckwheat,pour it not with boiling water, but with cold boiled water or milk. . . The vessels must be tightly closed, refrigerated for 14-16 hours. After that, the buckwheat will swell, move and be ready for use.

Why cereals should not be salted

Salt has no calories and does not affect the calorie content of foods in any way. Salt, however, helps our body store water.

If the "white poison" ceases to enter the body, the subcutaneous water reserves will be released. This is a plus in the treatment of cellulite and explicit weight loss before the holiday (after all, the figure is getting slimmer before our eyes), but it is dangerous for long - term nutrition, because salt is needed. Its persistent deficiency poses a threat to dehydration and other dangerous conditions.

Benefits of the buckwheat diet

1. The diet does not drain the body as much as other coin diets. Buckwheat contains more protein than other cereals. And porridge also contains fiber, iron (as well as magnesium, iodine, phosphorus, potassium), amino acids and B vitamins.
2. Savings - for 2 weeks of losing weight, women save a tidy sum (just for new clothes, because after visible weight loss, many can not wait to finally buy a smaller dress).
3. The diet will appeal to busy women - they do not have to cook it.
4. The diet is suitable for people with gluten intolerance, since buckwheat does not contain this substance.

Disadvantages, contraindications

This is still a coin-powered supply - and all that it implies. Diet 100% contraindicatedpregnant and lactating women, after a complex illness and even during the spring beriberi periodwhen the body is weakened and needs a maximum of vitamins and minerals.

Also, the diet is not suitable for athletes and manual workers - they are not strong enough for the normal way of life of such a diet.

Express weight loss

A three-day buckwheat unloading diet is rare. It is believed that it is ideal to lose weight on the abdomen before the holiday, do you want to fit that "tight" dress tightly.

Without a competent entry and exit, the diet will bring nothing but extra pounds (after all, the body that is "scared" by a sharply charged diet will decide that the hunger strike will happen again, and will go to Rush tostore any calories that enter the body (in fat).

Menu for the week

Preparing your diet

Three weeks before the planned start of the buckwheat diet, the portions gradually decreased. . . . Cook foods that need heat treatment, and give up fried food completely.

One week before you start the diet, try not to salt your meals (or at least add a little salt). Cut out sugar too.

So that the body becomes accustomed to future nutrition and does not become stressed, make one meal of the food kefir-buckwheat.

We sit on buckwheat

Traditionally, the diet is not written for 3, 7 days (menu for each day) - this is a "trial" era in buckwheat diet. Such food can be repeated for another week, extending buckwheat days for 14 days. But no more!

The daily intake of cereals is from 150 to 250 g(dry buckwheat weighing, not ready). You can cook fried buckwheat (brown) and green buckwheat.

To keep out for 2 weeks, add 100 g of dried fruit (daily intake) with buckwheat, some green vegetables, 2-3 unsweetened fruits, a teaspoon of honey, juice, low-fat kefir. For lunch, you can cook 100 g of cooked beef.

Important: To make milk beneficial, buy kefir and yogurt not with 0% fat, but 1%. It has already been proven by nutrients that calcium is not absorbed from the "empty" sour milk.

Here's how to build a daily diet. . .

1. Breakfast: 50 g portion of steam buckwheat + cup of unsweetened black coffee.
2. Snack: a handful of dried fruits (they can be different every day, but if you prefer variety, use mixes). Or: a glass of unsweetened fat-free yogurt, kefir.
3. Dinner: 100 g portion of buckwheat + a cup of tea.
4. The second snack: light vegetables, but without starch (cucumber, tomato, bell pepper). A glass of tomato juice (homemade, unsalted) or low-calorie fruit can be substituted: apple, plum, pear, grapefruit, orange.
5. Dinner: 50 g of steam buckwheat, seasoned with low - fat kefir (kefir - optional).

Important: if you have not noticed any changes in 5 days of the diet (without interrupting forbidden foods), this diet does not suit you according to the characteristics of the body and you need to try another weight loss. However, this rarely happens.

Life hockey on a two week buckwheat diet

First of all, not everyone agrees to eat unsalted buckwheat, so they add salt during steam. Do not do this, it is best to cook the cereals as described above, andadd salt before serving. . . So buckwheat will take "much less" white poison "- on the tip of a knife. By the way, it's better to use sea salt, it's healthier.

Soy sauce is an alternative to salt. But it's important to buy a natural fermentation product from soybeans, not the "ode to the periodic table" that most stores offer.

Secondly, if you do not choose a 100% buckwheat diet, you can try these options:

• fresh tomatoes + feta (or fetax) cheese + cilantro sprig + 3-4 drops of live olive oil in buckwheat;
• half cooked chicken breast + fresh small cucumber + dill sprig;
• mushrooms, stewed with onions (without oil) + sprig of parsley;
• grated young carrot, flavored with drops of lemon juice;
• fresh bell pepper + feta.

In this case, steam buckwheat is used as a side dish, and the additives described above are used as the main dish.

Yes, with such a diet you will not lose 10 kg, but you are guaranteed to lose weight and eat healthier than buckwheat 100%. In addition, do not hate this cereal, nor yourself in the market. And a nice bonus: the weight lost with such nutrition will not return as quickly.

Leaving the diet

This is also a complete science.

It's too early for you to look at the cakes and the baked shank.

In the first 4-5 days, leave buckwheat 100% of the meals. . . In other ways, add meat to a diet (preferably cooked or steamed - an organism that has grown accustomed to fried fats may not like it), lean fish. Buy vegetables and fruits (more), dairy products, also cook eggs.

Eat diet soups. You probably stopped loving buckwheat. Replace with other grains (rice, corn, oatmeal).

And yet drink plenty of fluids, mostly pure water!

Views of real women

Buckwheat diet is shared on forums, review sites, in social networks. Such a diet is believed to be effective, but this is a last resort, because mono-nutrition is often dangerous.

Rights of joy and bragging rights

The diet works (still, with such a scarce diet). And this is confirmed not only by the long laudatory "smells", but also by the "before and after" photos. But not everyone can stand it.

Happy women (and men too) noticed the following results:

• rapid weight loss, return to prenatal form, pre-leave - people actually lose 10 kg of buckwheat;
• in addition to losing weight, leaving cellulite is also noticeable;
• girls have experience adhering to a diet (+ raw vegetables) and successfully attending strength training;
• diet helps with biliary dyskinesia (with exacerbation);
• no need to calculate calories, racking your brains, coming up with new diet meals every day (especially if there are no funds for non - seasonal products like celery or asparagus).

And here's a video review of a happy woman who quickly lost 20 kg on traditional, fried buckwheat:

Criticism and unsuccessful weight loss

The main disadvantage of this diet is that you can add buckwheat grains for years and refuse to touch it in any form.

Reviews also complain:

• if you lose weight fast with a weight of up to 70 kg, you can have a dangerous complication - prolapse of the kidneys (which sometimes leads to pyelonephritis);
• not everyone on this diet loses 10-20 kg weight, some of them barely manage to lose 5 kg (and this is on one fortnight buckwheat, without extra products);
• they have constipation, which lasted 2 weeks of diet (more or less kefir was saved from them, but not 100%);
• for many women, weight returned quickly after losing weight.

By the way: a woman is believed to be more likely to break down if you go on a buckwheat diet just before the start of the critical days, when your whole body is already quitting "you want something sweet. "weight loss should be planned in such a way that the red days of the calendar are left "overboard", as soon as you quit the diet (when sweet fruit, dried fruit and honey are allowed).

And what's wrong with this product (and, in particular, why buckwheat diet is forbidden in case of anemia, because the cereal seems to contain iron)? A popular medical TV show tells:

Diet on buckwheat and kefir or ideal figure according to the simplest technique.
