Many women are exhausted by hunger and physical strength, trying to at least slightly adjust their figures. The 6-petal diet is an opportunity to eat cookies and meatballs, but not to gain weight, but to lose weight.
The petal diet developed by Swedish nutritionist Anna Johansson is the dream of every girl who wants to get rid of those extra pounds as soon as possible. The diet image he invented - a flower with 6 petals allows ladies to lose weight without suffering. You can "tear off" extra pounds from yourself by tearing off a paper petal from day to day.
The essence of the diet
The Swedish diet of 6 petals has a feature - every day (and there are only 6 of them) a new product appears on the table, but nothing else can be eaten on this day, except for the permitted foods. The menu consists of alternative carbohydrates and proteins, so it can be safely attributed to a healthy and balanced diet.
Since you have to eat the same foods all day, the body needs to get energy from stored subcutaneous fat. At the same time, he cannot get used to the daily change of food, which does not allow him to store some fat.
Chamomile's diet consists of 6-day cycles, each of which contains a certain product - fish, vegetables, chicken, cereals, cottage cheese, fruits.
There are no exact limits in the system. Dietitians suggest following only certain recommendations - vegetables and fruits in an amount not exceeding 1. 5 kg per day, cottage cheese, chicken and fish - about ½ kg, cereals - a maximum of 300 g.
Products scheduled for the day cannot be changed. The mono-diet menu should be followed without doubt.
The main criteria for following the dietary nutrition system:
- One product for one day.
- Liquid intake during meals is prohibited. You can drink juices, tea, herbal infusions and water between meals.
- It is not recommended to eat bread, sweets, and add spices to food.
- You need to eat in small portions, but often.
- Food should be chewed thoroughly.

Circles
Each period of 6 days in the diet is called a circle. A Swedish nutritionist recommends a course of no more than 4 cycles. In general, based on well-being and physical health, it is necessary to determine the duration of the diet.
How long can you stay on the diet?
The frequency of diet repetition is one of the most popular questions. The creator of the diet recommends doing 2 cycles with a duration of 2 weeks. Every seventh day you can eat one of the recommended options:
- Make a fasting day when you can only drink still mineral water.
- Eat as before the diet, only remove all "harmful" foods from the diet.
How much weight can you lose?
If you follow all the rules of the diet, you can say goodbye to quite a lot of kilograms. On average, a woman can lose about 500-800 g per day.
You need to understand that the weight may not go away in the first few days. The results will be noticeable in the middle of the cycle, when the reading on the scale immediately decreases by 2 or more kilograms.
Quitting the diet
With any weight loss system, it is important to complete the process correctly. The exit from the 6-petal diet should be smooth. To do this, it is necessary to gradually add others to the allowed products, expand the diet and increase the calorie content of food.
If it was convenient to eat only healthy food during the circle, then you should not give up such a healthy habit and start eating fast food. The less fat, smoked meat and other prohibited substances in the diet, the longer the result will last and maybe even better.
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 severe form;
- liver pathology;
- diabetes;
- gastric ulcer;
- lactation and childbearing period.
In any case, it is worth consulting with your doctor about the possibility of a diet. Six petals - a system that does not ensure complete rejection of food. Therefore, even with the above problems, if the need to lose weight is a priority, a specialist may allow it to be carried out.
You can get rid of excess weight in a short time. But if you do not follow a healthy lifestyle in the future, the lost kilograms will quickly return.
