Many women are exhausted by 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 extra pounds as quickly as possible. The image of the diet she invented - a flower consisting of 6 petals, allows ladies to lose weight effortlessly. By tearing off day after day on a paper petal, you can "tear off" extra pounds from yourself.
The essence of diet
The Swedish diet of 6 petals has one feature - every day (and there are only 6 of them) a new product appears on the table, but apart from the permitted dishes, nothing else can be eaten 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 has to take energy from stored subcutaneous fat. At the same time, he cannot get used to the daily change of food, which also does not give him the opportunity to store some fat in reserve.
The chamomile diet consists of a cycle of 6 days, each of which contains a certain product - fish, vegetables, chicken, cereals, cottage cheese, fruit.
There are no exact limits in the system. Nutritionists only suggest following certain recommendations - eat vegetables and fruits in an amount that does not exceed 1. 5 kg per day, fresh cheese, chicken and fish - about ½ kg, cereals - a maximum of 300 g.
Products distributed by day cannot be exchanged. The mono diet menu must be strictly adhered to.
The main criteria for compliance with the dietary nutrition system:
- One product for one day.
- It is forbidden to drink liquids during meals. Between meals you can drink juices, teas, herbal infusions and water.
- It is not recommended to eat pastries, sweets, add spices to food.
- You must eat in small portions, but often.
- Food must be chewed thoroughly.

To me
The six-petal diet has its advantages in terms of the possibility of diversifying the daily menu. The main thing is to cook food properly - steam, boil, bake and, in extreme cases, use the grill.

On this diet day, only cereals are used that can be "sweetened" with nuts and other additional ingredients from the list that will not affect weight loss due to satiety.

This concludes the petal diet for rapid weight loss.
Circles
In nutrition, each 6-day cycle is called a circle. The Swedish nutritionist recommends a course of no more than 4 rounds. It is necessary to determine the duration of the stay on the diet, based on well-being and physical health in general.
How long can you stay on a diet?
The frequency of diet repetition is one of the most popular questions. The diet creator recommends 2 cycles, lasting 2 weeks. Every seventh day you can eat any of the recommended options:
- Make a day of fasting, during which you can drink only non-carbonated mineral water.
- Eat as you did before the diet, only removing all "harmful" foods from your diet.
How much weight can you lose?
If you follow all the rules of nutrition, you can say goodbye to a rather large number of kilograms. On average, a woman can lose about 500-800 g per day.
It is important to understand that the weight may not come off for the first few days. The results will be visible in the middle of the cycle, when the arrow of the scale immediately drops by 2 or more kilograms.
Getting out of the diet
With any weight loss system, it is important to complete the process correctly. Exiting the 6-petal diet should be smooth. To do this, you must gradually add others to the allowed products, expanding the diet and increasing the calorie content of the dishes.
If during the circle it was pleasant to eat only healthy food, then you should not give up such a correct habit and start eating fast food. The less fat, smoked meat and other prohibited ingredients in the diet, the longer the result will last, and possibly improve.
Contraindications
Despite all the advantages of the 6-petal diet, it also has some contraindications. These include:
- kidney problems;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system in a severe form;
- liver pathology;
- diabetes;
- stomach ulcer;
- the period of lactation and birth.
In any case, it is worth consulting with your doctor about the possibility of a diet. Six petals - a system that does not foresee a complete rejection of food. Therefore, even with the above problems, the expert may allow it to be carried out if the need to lose weight is a priority.
You can get rid of excess weight in a short period of time. But if you do not follow a healthy lifestyle in the future, the lost pounds will quickly return.
