The author of the 6 petal diet (alternative name "Flower") is the nutritionist Anna Johansson of Sweden.The food system she developed is structured so that a person gets all the necessary microelements within six days.This diet does not promise high results in the sky, but promotes sustained weight loss without harm to health.And if all the rules are followed, the lost pounds will never return.
The essence of the diet
The basic principles of diet are foods separated by alternating protein and carbohydrate days.All foods are divided by principle: 1 day - a food group or product.
Thus, the 6 petal diet consists of six days:
- Rybny.
- vegetable
- Chicken
- Cereal
- Curd cheese.
- Fruity.
The menu daily is based on the specified group of products.You cannot mix the food.During every day, the body gets the substances needed for life: vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc.
Despite the fact that every day it meets the body with useful substances, you must remember that many of them must be completed daily, and not once a week.What do you mean?Everyday the body needs a certain amount, for example, a vitamin.But you can't "eat" in fruits rich in them for a week.
All vitamins entering the body are consumed on the day of admission, and the surplus is excreted by the body.The next day you should eat fruits/vegetables again.Therefore, during the diet, make sure you get a vitamin-mineral complex.The same is true with proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
Considering the need to recharge the body important every day, follow the recommended periods of the diet.Remember that this is a temporary measure and not a permanent nutrient system.The 6 petal diet, though attractive with its variety, remains a form of mono-diet;After finishing, climb to a balanced diet.
regulations
The main rule of the diet is to follow a sequence of days.You cannot change them or mix products with each other.According to the developed system, it is the alternation of days of carbohydrates and proteins that help accelerate the process of burning accumulated fat.
To make the food interesting, and the 6-day diet not so heavy, the author suggests making a flower with six petals yourself.You can simply find it, crush it and cut it, but it is best to draw it yourself.
On each petal you have to set the day number and enter the name, for example, "Day 1 - Fish".Any day can be colored with a different color that you associate with the product.After completing each stage, you will remove the desired petal.
The diet includes only a cycle of 6 days, then come out of it and rest for at least 2-3 months.But you can increase the duration in 4 cycles/circles.So, after you have finished the fruit day, you start again with the fish day.
You cannot diet for more than four repetitions.This can significantly damage your health.And in the case of a long-term diet, rest should not be 2-3 months, but at least 6.
In addition to those mentioned, there are other rules that must be followed to get maximum effect:
- All food must be completely chewed.
- It is important to drink a lot of juice, but not during the meal, but in the middle.
- Food should not only be special but also partial.It is better to divide the entire amount of food into small portions and eat them throughout the day.
- The last meal 2-3 hours before bedtime.
- At the end of the diet, you need to get out of it correctly, and then climb into a balanced diet.
- Throughout the cycle (or some), take minerals and vitamins and monitor your well -being.If you feel unfair or have problems with intestinal movements, you should meet the diet.
- Combine your nutritional system with physical activity.This will increase the number of pounds you lose and will also make your body fit and thinner.But it is better to slow down the training pace and make it medium intensity.Following a mono-diet can lead to the loss of force.
- It is better to boil, simmer, bake or feed on steam.Grilling and raw eating are allowed.Avoid frying and boiling using oil or fat.
results
The author of this diet does not promise great weight in weight immediately.The petal diet results are quite modest, but very true - from 3 to 5 kg to 6 days.Each day you will lose from 0.5 to 0.8 kg.

The pros and cons
The benefits of a flower diet are:
- Diversity menu thanks to the daily change of the main product;
- true, accessible and stable result;
- light entry and exit from the diet;
- short period (you can be limited to a circle every 6 days);
