Most women at least once in their lives were sitting on cucumber, or on kefir diet - good, both of our products are common and available, and they have the fame of everything that is dietary. Actually, yogurt with cucumber for weight loss is a symbiosis of two products contributing to weight loss. The easiest and simplest way to sit on this diet is to mix kefir with cucumbers and eat. But we can not do without frills, can we?
Benefits of kefir and cucumber for weight loss
Losing weight on yogurt and cucumbers is so common not only because the press ascribes these methods of weight loss to Xenia Borodina and Alla Pugacheva (and many others), but also because these two products can really help out in a difficult moment when you need not just lose weight, but urgently lose weight.
We choose kefir and cucumbers because:
- kefir is easily digested, does not irritate the walls of the stomach;
- kefir accelerates digestion, normalizes the intestinal microflora;
- cucumbers are an "illusion of food", due to a peculiar "water" composition they create a feeling of satiety (albeit for a short while);
- the energy value of cucumbers is 17 kcal per 100 g, that is, 170 kcal per kilogram, recommended on a diet;
- cucumbers contain tartronic acid, which does not allow carbohydrates to turn into fat at the waist;
- Cucumbers contain enzymes that promote the digestion of animal proteins.
The illusion of "balance" of weight loss on yogurt with cucumber
Many sources convince us that losing weight on yogurt with cucumber is a truly balanced version of weight loss, because there is also fat (1% of kefir), and protein (26 g of protein per liter of kefir), and even carbohydrates (from cucumber , consisting of 90% of water). Everything is there, but it's also important - how much. Do not deceive yourself, this weight loss is not only not balanced, but also hungry. Most of the plumb line is due to the laxative (kefir effect) and diuretic (cucumber effect) effect, well, and, of course, due to the fact that you do not eat anything else.
Who is dangerous to use cucumbers and kefir for weight loss?
The use of cucumbers and kefir for weight loss does not just threaten the "hungry stress" of the whole body, but it can also lead to your
- uncontrolled eating of food after a diet. There are many dangerous factors that need to be considered:
- you are contraindicated with this weight loss, if you do not know how to tolerate hunger, and after a diet you tend to "eat off" and, even more so, if this happened to you three times already;
- if you have a tendency to diarrhea, heartburn, and, moreover, any chronic diseases, do not lose weight on yogurt and cucumber;
- if you actively train, stepping over yourself and your hunger, you will not have enough calories, and the damage to metabolism and muscles will be indescribable.
Application of yogurt with cucumber for weight loss
There are many weight loss options with yogurt and cucumber. As we have already mentioned, the simplest is the preparation of a kind of "okroshki" from kefir and cucumbers.
Okroshka from kefir and cucumbers
Ingredients:

Preparation
In one famous movie, it is said that okroshka - "this is when finely, finely chopped." This and guided - we cut cucumbers and greens, pour kefir and mix. All is ready!
This method of losing weight on yogurt with cucumber can not be used for more than 5 days. Our "okroshka" should be eaten during the day in small portions, do not cook for future use and every day use fresh products. In addition to "eating", do not forget about 2 liters of water - a prerequisite for all diets.
