   And a little about secrets ...

   The story of one of our readers Alina R .:

   My weight was especially depressing for me. I gained a lot, after pregnancy I weighed like 3 sumo wrestlers together, namely 92 kg with an increase of 165. I thought my stomach would come off after giving birth, but no, on the contrary, I began to gain weight. How to deal with rebuilding hormonal background and obesity? But nothing disfigures or makes a person younger as his figure. In my 20s, I first learned that overweight girls are called "WOMAN" and that "they don't sew that size." Then at 29, divorce from her husband and depression ...

   But what can you do to lose weight? Laser liposuction surgery? Recognized - not less than 5 thousand dollars. Hardware procedures - LPG massage, cavitation, RF lifting, myostimulation? Slightly more affordable - the course costs from 80 thousand rubles with a consultant nutritionist. You can of course try to run on a treadmill, to the point of insanity.

   And when to find all this time? And it's still very expensive. Especially now. Therefore, I chose a different way for myself ...

Many nutritionists argue that it is necessary to exclude carbohydrates from the diet in order to lose weight quickly and effectively. But it turns out that carbohydrates in foods can be completely different.

There are fast (and more harmful) carbohydrates, and there are slow, healthy ones. And they are contained in cereals, which means that you can lose weight on them in a short time!

Today the site "Beautiful and Successful" will tell you what a diet of 7 cereals for weight loss is, what its menu will be, how to follow it correctly and what result it will give.

What is the Seven Porridge Diet?

Diet on different cereals for 7 days refers to those diets in which protein and fat are cut, and the emphasis is on eating foods containing a large amount of complex carbohydrates - cereals and cereals.

What cereals to include in the menu to lose weight? As it already became clear from the name, there are 7 of them in total, and the diet is designed, respectively, for seven days.

So, we go to the store and buy wheat, millet, oatmeal, pearl barley, buckwheat porridge and rice.

Diet 7 cereals by day for weight loss

It is necessary to distribute the use of cereals in the following sequence:

Day 1: Wheat

It is with her that you need to start this diet. It is high in calories to make a smooth transition to other, less high-calorie cereals, and therefore will allow the body to adjust to losing weight without stress.

Among other things, "wheat" contains a lot of zinc, magnesium, selenium and even silver - important trace elements shown to everyone during physical activity. So, if you also go in for sports in parallel with your diet, be sure to include it in your diet.

Day 2: millet

Bright yellow millet groats (by the way, the brighter and richer the shade, the more useful it will be) undergoes minimal processing, and therefore it retains a maximum of fiber, which allows you to remove toxins and toxins from the intestines and even decay products of antibiotics, if you have used them before ...

The second day of the cereal diet of all 7 days will be exactly cleansing. In addition, millet has only 90 calories per 100 grams and a large amount of vitamins and minerals.

Day 3: oatmeal

It is very important to approach the right choice of oatmeal for the third day of the diet. The fact is that oatmeal fast food will not fit. They contain a lot of artificial colors and sugar.

It is better to choose oatmeal, in extreme cases - flakes like "Hercules", which must be cooked for at least 5 minutes. Oatmeal is ideal for anyone with gastrointestinal problems and is also rich in biotin, pectin, fiber, B vitamins and minerals.

Day 4: rice

The benefits of rice for weight loss are well known in Asian countries - just look at the tiny and incredibly slender Japanese women! It contains many useful carbohydrates, B vitamins, vitamin E, PP, K and many others.

And if you are still worried about calorie content, you can include in the diet not white polished rice, but brown or brown, unpolished. Although on the 4th day of the "Seven Porridge" diet it is quite possible to eat a little more high-calorie white rice compared to other cereals.

Day 5: pearl barley

Barley porridge is not very popular, but completely in vain. This is a real storehouse of nutrients, it is not for nothing that soldiers in the army are fed with it. Barley contains a lot of protein, so it provides a feeling of fullness for a long time.

And by the way, after long physical activity and playing sports, it is barley that will help to perfectly restore strength and fill you with energy. It contains almost all the known B vitamins, as well as manganese, selenium, copper and other useful trace elements.

Day 6: buckwheat

Did you know that initially, before processing, buckwheat has a green pale color... The brown hue familiar to all of us and the rich aroma of this cereal is given to it by roasting. Do you want to eat exceptionally healthy? Then include green unroasted buckwheat in your diet. Although fried, it has a minimum amount of calories and will allow you to quickly lose weight.

Buckwheat is often called the "queen" of cereals, and all because it has a daily rate of iron and silicon, many vitamins and a sufficient amount of protein.

Day 7: mix of all 6 cereals equally

On this day, you can mix all 6 cereals in equal amounts and make cereal porridge from them, or prepare several cereals separately and alternate them for lunch and dinner. For example, eat oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, rice with stewed vegetables for lunch, and buckwheat with low-fat kefir for dinner: this will be an approximate menu for the 7th day on a 7-porridge diet.

How much can you reset on this power system? For 7 days, nutritionists promise a long-awaited "deliverance" from 5-6 kilograms.

How to cook porridge?

Diet on cereals for 7 days does not imply classical boiling of cereals, but a special, specific preparation of it - the site will tell about it.

First, pour boiling water over the cereal and put it on fire. Bring the porridge to a boil, boil for only 5 minutes, then remove from the stove and wrap the pan with a towel or blanket. Leave the porridge overnight, it should steam well. In the morning it is ready to eat, but be prepared for the fact that your breakfast, lunch and dinner will be the same during the same day.

What can you add to porridge?

You will have to forget about sugar and butter. If you want to sweeten the porridge, use a quality sweetener or natural honey, but in small quantities. The same applies to salt: when cooking, it is better not to salt the cereals at all, but before use, you can add quite a bit of soy sauce there.

You can combine porridge with fruits and berries (in the morning), and vegetables (in the afternoon). In parallel, you can use low-fat kefir and yogurt, freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices, sugar-free, plain water.

This simple and nutritious diet will allow you to lose 4 to 6 kilograms in just a week. Plus, it won't be as stiff as sitting on protein foods and fresh vegetables, and you will feel full from the complex carbohydrates in cereals.

Expert opinion

Certified nutritionist. Work experience 5 years.

Nutritionist advice. Losing weight on porridge alone is dangerous, since a person cannot provide the body with all the necessary substances, but, most importantly, his diet will not contain enough protein, and this is very important for losing weight. Indeed, with a lack of protein, muscles will be actively lost. Deficiency of other nutrients also does not have the best effect - when following diets on porridge, after a week, nails begin to break, skin deteriorates and even hair falls out. To this picture is also added irritability and constant lethargy.

To lose weight on porridge, it is enough to consume them once or twice a day. Of course, this will not do without other rules - do not overeat in other meals, monitor fat content, consume fewer fast carbohydrates and enough protein. Thus, cereals will really help to reduce weight, and not lose beauty and health. Moreover, a person will lose weight without starving, because cereals perfectly regulate appetite.

Healthy recipes, way out of the diet

The recipes for the diet are listed below.

White cabbage salad. It cleanses the body well. Ingredients: 150 g cabbage, herbs, a little salt, a drop olive oil... Chop the cabbage and knead it well with your hands. Chop greens, salt, add oil and serve.

Sprouted buckwheat. The most useful buckwheat is green. It is not fried and retains the maximum amount of nutrients. To germinate buckwheat, you need to pour 100 g into a container, pour a glass of water and cover with plastic, put in a well-lit place. Sprouts will appear within a day - buckwheat is ready for use.

The diet is not considered complete and balanced, therefore, if you immediately return to the previous diet, a person will gain the lost pounds very quickly. The next repetition of the diet is possible no earlier than 2 months later. It is recommended to spend fasting days on porridge.

First, you can add vegetables, fruits, low-fat cheeses, eggs to the diet. Later - lean meats and fish. You need to continue to eat fractionally, do not forget about the drinking regimen. It is highly undesirable to abuse sweets and fast food.

Fundamental rules

To lose weight on porridge, first you need to learn how to cook properly. If you are used to having breakfast delicious dish on milk, with a lump of butter, sugar and fruit, forget about this pleasure. The diet involves the use of a completely different product.

1. On the eve, arrange a fasting day (for or, for example), do an enema. This will prepare the intestines for the change in diet and will increase the effectiveness of weight loss in the future.
2. Drink plenty of water: start with it every morning. The daily volume should not be less than one and a half liters.
3. For great results, drink a glass of water half an hour before your main meals.
4. If you are not confident in your abilities, choose a mixed diet. It involves the use of different cereals. A variety of foods will cheer you up.
5. Exercise: A carbohydrate diet allows you to do this.

Some points are worth highlighting in more detail.

How to cook properly?

The same method is used to prepare any dietary porridge. Start doing this in the evening so that the next morning everything is ready for use.

1. rinse the cereal;
2. pour it with cold water 1: 3;
3. bring to a boil, cook over medium heat for 5 minutes;
4. remove from heat;
5. wrap in a warm towel;
6. leave blame for the night.

Of course, for the most pampered there is a diet on milk porridge, but with it, losing weight will no longer be as effective.

What portion sizes should i be?

• in the morning - no more than 150 ml;
• lunch - a small unsweetened fruit;
• in the afternoon - 300 gr;
• afternoon snack - a glass of low-calorie unsweetened drink (, fresh juice, smoothies, lactic acid products);
• dinner - 200 gr.

What results to expect?

As the results of losing weight show, the porridge diet is not suitable for those who are in a hurry to lose a lot of kilograms in the shortest possible time. For example, if the option for 7 days is chosen, it will be possible to part with only 3-4 kg. But at the same time, you will not feel any discomfort (loss of strength, bad mood, exhaustion). But on such a diet, you can "sit" as long as you want. And here it is already quite real and minus 10 kg, and even more if you can refuse the list of harmful products.

Each of them can become a staple for a diet. So study their properties, how effective they are for losing weight - and choose the option that suits you more than others. The assortment is huge.

Mixed

Combination diets are good because they differ in a variety of diets. Every day you need to eat a dish made from a certain cereal. The sequence is not important: you can rearrange the days in places as you like.

• three-porridge diet: buckwheat, oatmeal, barley;
• 5 porridge: millet, oatmeal, rice, buckwheat, barley;
• 6 porridge: wheat is added to the previous ones;
• 7 porridge: "Suvorovskaya" is added to the previous ones, from various cereals.

The duration of each of them is also determined by you: it is not necessary that a diet of 3 cereals should last 3 days. You can repeat this alternation over and over until the balance shows the desired result.

Selected

In addition to combined diets, there are those that are based on a single porridge, the use of which is emphasized. How to find one among this variety that will help you lose weight effectively? First, be guided by your taste preferences. Love oatmeal - "sit" on a Herculean diet.
