Proper buckwheat diet for weight loss

If a French woman or a Japanese woman could not imagine how to cook just buckwheat every day, then a resident of our country would not see anything reprehensible or horrible in this idea. Buckwheat diet for weight loss has been known for a long time and also helps a lot. True, like all mono-diets, it has many contraindications. . .

What would such a diet provide

Due to the nutritional value and vitamin composition of buckwheat, this mono -diet (although it is not enriched with other components) is considered as harmless as a diet based on the use of a single product - rice, bananas, kefir.

Weight loss is achieved quickly. True, if you do not get out of the diet properly, the work will be in vain.

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

But there are also known dietary options where porridge can be supplemented with vegetables, fermented dairy products (low-fat kefir, sugar-free yogurt), fresh juices without sugar, honey and dried fruits.

Desired output:- 10 kg per week. . .

How buckwheat works

These grains containcomplex carbohydrates. . . Once in the gastrointestinal tract, these carbohydrates are broken down for hours. Therefore - a feeling of satiety, which comes quickly and lasts 3-4 hours.

But the caloric content of buckwheat is minimal (110 kcal, if cooked in water). For the adult body, a portion of 50-100 grams of porridge will be energetically small, so it will draw energy from reserves, breaking down accumulated fat.

Important: in the first 2-3 days, the results may not be visible (the body will successfully "disrupt" the carbohydrates contained in buckwheat). But on the 4th day, the effect will be noticeable. Moreover, the more weight a person gains before the diet, the faster this person will lose weight.

The main rule for weight loss on buckwheat diet

1. Finish your last dinner before 18: 00. At night - no, no (even buckwheat).
2. If the steamed cereal comes out hard, mix it with kefir (fat -free).
3. It is necessary to leave the diet smoothly, otherwise the "burn" will return in the next 2-3 weeks.
4. Buy a multivitamin. No matter how useful this porridge is, "everything" is not in it. If you ignore this rule, you can endanger your own health.
5. Daily meals should be 4 or 5.
6. Between courses of such a diet, it is necessary to rest six months, eat fully and balanced. The body must have time to replenish the supply of substances needed for vital activities, which have been lost on a mono-diet.
7. Drinking water. Continuously, but no more than a glass at a time. The water must be clean, without gas (mineral water or drink from a filter). The daily water minimum is from 1. 5 liters (if you have high growth and an impressive amount, drink more, from 2 liters). Coffee and tea are allowed, but not sweet and without fanaticism.
8. Eat each portion of buckwheat slowly, chewing spoon by spoon carefully.

Only cereals need to be cooked

Preferably yes, a diet based only on buckwheat steamed in boiling water.

But strong men also rarely manage to withstand such a diet (let alone women, meek and weak). Therefore, nutritionists are allowed to make indulgences in the form of fresh vegetables (lungs-cucumbers, tomatoes), vegetable marrow boiled without oil, and nuts.

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

Is it possible to cook buckwheat for diet improperly

Yes, if you don't want towapand cook.

Weigh the buckwheat before cooking. Do not sprinkle cereal "with eyes".

Do the following: 1 part buckwheat (say, 200 g is the average portion per day), pour 2. 5 parts 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: salt or sugar should not be added! Also banned oils, 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 methods

Buckwheat should not be boiled, because it is believed that, due to boiling, the grain loses many useful properties.

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

Why cereals should not be marinated

Salt has no calories and does not affect the caloric content of food. However, salt helps our bodies store water.

If the "white poison" stops entering the body, subcutaneous water reserves will be released. This is an addition in the treatment of cellulite and express weight loss before the holidays (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 threatens dehydration and other dangerous conditions.

Advantages of buckwheat diet

1. The diet does not dehydrate the body like other mono diets. Buckwheat contains more protein than other grains. And the 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 amount of money (only for new clothes, because after a significant weight loss, many can not wait to buy smaller clothes eventually).
3. The diet will impress busy women - they don’t have to cook on it.
4. This diet is suitable for people who are gluten intolerant, because this ingredient is not in buckwheat.

Weaknesses, contraindications

This is still a single power supply - with all that implied. Diet is 100% contraindicatedpregnant and lactating women, after complex illnesses and also during the spring beriberi periodwhen the body is weak and in need of maximum vitamins and minerals.

Also, the diet is not suitable for athletes and manual workers - they do not have enough strength for their normal way of life with 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 stomach before the holidays, for which you want to wear "very" tight clothes.

You can’t lean on a pork cake and pan, then "take communion" with dried buckwheat for three days, and then go back to the cake. Without efficient entry and exit, the diet will carry nothing but extra pounds (after all, the body "scared" by a abruptly cut diet will decide that a hunger strike will happen again, and will rush to store any incoming calories. into the body in fat).

Menu for this week

Get ready for a diet

Three weeks before the start of the planned buckwheat diet, gradually reduce portions. . . . Cook foods that require heat treatment, and leave foods completely fried.

A week before starting a diet, try not to salt your food (or at least add a little salt). Also cut the sugar.

So that the body gets used to the future diet and it does not become stressful for him, make a serving of kefir-buckwheat food.

We sat on buckwheat

Traditionally, the diet is not written for 3, 7 days (menu for each day) - this is a period of "trial" buckwheat diet. Such a meal can be repeated for another week, stretching the buckwheat day for 14 days. But not anymore!

Daily intake of cereals is from 150 to 250 g(dry weigh, not ready -to -use buckwheat). You can cook fried buckwheat (chocolate) and greens.

To last for 2 weeks, add 100 g of dried fruit (daily intake) to buckwheat, a portion of green vegetables, 2-3 unsweetened fruits, one teaspoon of honey, juice, low-fat kefir. For lunch, you can cook 100 g of boiled beef.

Important: for milk to be beneficial, buy kefir and yogurt not with 0% fat, but 1%. Nutritionists have already proven that calcium is not absorbed from "empty" sour milk.

Here's how to put one together for use with your daily diet. . .

1. Breakfast: a portion of 50 g of steamed buckwheat + a cup of black coffee without sugar.
2. snack: a handful of dried fruit (it can be different each day, but if you prefer variety, use a mix). Or: a glass of nonfat yogurt without sugar, kefir.
3. dinner: 100 g portion of buckwheat + a cup of tea.
4. Second snack: light, but non -starchy vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers). It can be replaced with a glass of tomato juice (homemade, without salt) or low -calorie fruits: apples, plums, pears, grapefruit, oranges.
5. dinner: 50 g of steamed buckwheat, seasoned with low -fat kefir (kefir - optional).

Important: if in 5 days of diet (without interruption on forbidden foods) you do not notice any changes, this diet does not suit you according to body characteristics and you should try other weight loss. However, this is very rare.

Hackers buckwheat diet life for two weeks

First, not everyone agrees to eat buckwheat without salt, so they add salt while steaming. Do not do this, it is better to cook the cereal as described above, andadd salt before serving. . . So buckwheat will "take" more or less "white poison" - at the tip of the knife. By the way, it is better to use sea salt, it is healthier.

An alternative to salt is soy sauce. But it’s important to buy natural fermentation products from soybeans, rather than the "ode to the periodic table" offered by most stores.

Second, if a 100% buckwheat diet is not an option for you, you can try this option:

• fresh tomatoes + feta (or fetax) cheese + coriander stalks + 3-4 drops of live olive oil in buckwheat;
• half a boiled chicken breast + a small fresh cucumber + a sprig of dill;
• mushrooms, boiled with onion (without oil) + a sprig of parsley;
• grated carrots, flavored with drops of lemon juice;
• fresh bengal pepper + feta.

In this case, steamed 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 100% buckwheat. In addition, do not hate either these cereals, or yourself in the bargain. And a nice bonus: the weight lost with such a diet will not return so quickly.

Get out of the diet

This is also a whole science.

It’s still too early for you to see the cake and baked calves.

In the first 4-5 days, leave one meal 100% buckwheat. . . In other methods, add meat to the diet (boiled or steamed is better - organisms that have become accustomed to fat may not like fried), lean fish. Also buy vegetables and fruits (more), dairy products, cook eggs.

Eat diet soup. You may stop liking buckwheat. Replace with other grains (rice, corn, oats).

And still drink lots of fluids, mostly pure water!

Real women's opinions

Buckwheat diet is shared on forums, review sites, in social networks. It is believed that such a diet is effective, but this is a last resort, because mono-nutrition is often harmful.

Joy and the right to boast

The diet works (still, with a meager diet). And this is confirmed not only by the few and long "odes" of praise, but also by the "before and after" photos. But not everyone can withstand it.

Satisfied women (and men too) recorded the following results:

• rapid weight loss, return to prenatal, pre-holiday form-people actually lose 10 kg on buckwheat;
• in addition to weight loss, leaving cellulite is also noticeable;
• there was the experience of girls adhering to a diet (+ raw vegetables) and successfully attending strength training;
• diet helps with biliary dyskinesia (with exacerbation);
• no need to count calories, squeeze your brain, produce new diet foods every day (especially if there are no funds for non -seasonal products like celery or asparagus).

And here is a video review of a contented 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 hate buckwheat for years and refuse to touch it in any form.

Also, reviews complain that:

• if you lose weight quickly with a weight of up to 70 kg, you can face dangerous complications - kidney prolapse (which sometimes leads to pyelonephritis);
• not everyone on this diet loses weight by 10-20 kg, some almost do not manage to lose 5 kg (and this is on a buckwheat two weeks, without additional products);
• they suffer from constipation, which lasts for 2 weeks of diet (kefir is more or less stored than them, but not 100%);
• For most women, weight quickly returns after weight loss.

By the way: it is believed that a woman will have more chances of being spoiled if you go on a buckwheat diet before the start of the critical days, when your whole body is already sick from "you want something sweet. " Weight loss should be planned in such a way thatcalendar red days are left "too much", once you’re out of the diet (when sweet fruits, dried fruits and honey are allowed).

And what’s wrong with this product (and, in particular, why the buckwheat diet is banned in case of anemia, because cereals seem to contain iron)? Popular medical TV program tells:

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