What is a 6 Petal Diet?

Diet 6 Petals have beautiful names that people are not familiar with flowers. In fact, each chamomile petal is a day from a specific mono diet, i. e. the use of only one specific type of product.

Thanks to this nutritional system, you can lose weight quickly and easily. It turns out to get rid of 500 g a day, and the result in 2 cycles will be very impressive - about 7 kilograms.

The essence of diet

Diet 6 Petal is made by Anna Johansson. He is a well-known Swedish nutritionist. Weight loss diet system approved by the Dietetic Association. Studies have shown that people lose 500 grams a day, and sometimes up to 800 grams. At the same time, their general health remains good.

Finally, an additional volunteer medical examination is performed. The results of the study showed that the health of the program participants improved. In other words, a 6-leaf diet can not only help to lose weight but also strengthen the body.

The duration of such a course is 6 days (hence the name of the diet). Its main principle is a separate diet, thanks to its slimming effect. For 6 days, you have to adhere to a different mono diet - one day. The sequence is indestructible, as it is a day replacement of carbohydrates and proteins.

In a day, you must eat foods that fall into the same food category. The order is as follows:

  1. Fish day.
  2. Vegetable day.
  3. Chicken day.
  4. Cereal day.
  5. Hari curd.
  6. Fruit day.

To avoid consuming more calories than you need, you should measure a portion of food each day:

  • fish - no more than 500 grams;
  • vegetables - up to 1. 5 kg;
  • meat - up to 500 grams;
  • cereals - up to 200 g;
  • cottage cheese - up to 500 grams;
  • fruits and berries - up to 1. 5 kg.

Anna Johansson advises making flowers with 6 petals to write a mono diet to keep motivation. Thus, the name associated with the plant appears, despite the fact that flowers and herbs are not used. You can hang homemade chamomile in a prominent place and see it whenever there is a high possibility of damage. Tearing the petals every day makes it easier to withstand hunger strikes.
