The main part of his life, a doctor from Sweden A. Johansson devoted to the search for a solution to the problem of excess weight. As a result, she was created a diet of 6 petals with a menu for every day, able to help almost everyone who wants to bring their figure back to normal. Interesting? Today's article will reveal all the secrets of this technique.

Basic principles of a 6-petal diet

Anna’s technique is based on the inclusion of only one type of product in the diet throughout the day. In this case, all sweets will have to be excluded in order to force the body to draw energy from its own sources.

The name identifies the daisy flower with its petals, only painted in different colors, depending on the food chosen.

Here are the basic principles of Petals:

  • This is a mono-diet designed for 6 days, where during each of them you can consume only 1 type of product;

Important: you can not apply this technique for a longer time and no more than 2 times a year.

  • guaranteed daily weight loss from 500 to 800 grams. If you need to get rid of 3 to 5 kg, you will not be counted in a week;
  • during these 6 days it is important not to mix proteins with carbohydrates, that is, eat separately;
  • the number of products should be limited - not more than 500 g of protein, up to 1.5 kg of plant food and up to 300 g of grain;
  • it is strictly forbidden to add sugar to dishes, only salt and not too sharp spices are allowed. On days of protein nutrition, you can eat not only meat and fish, but also broths based on them;
  • liquid is allowed to drink in unlimited volumes, but not less than 2 liters of pure water. Tea is allowed up to 4 cups, and coffee can be drunk without adding cream and sugar.

You can independently develop a menu for the 6th day with the fulfillment of all dietary requirements. The dish must be divided into 5 equal servings, which you will need to eat during the day.

A positive effect is achieved by avoiding the interchange of proteins with carbohydrates.

The main advantages of the diet include the following:

  1. No need to starve.
  2. No need to count calories.
  3. There is no need to adapt to a specific time.
  4. The ability to get rid of a certain amount of excess weight in a short time, which depends on some factors - lifestyle, physical activity, gender and genetics. The only limitation is 2 hours before going to bed should be the last meal.
  5. A variety of products protects against addiction and boredom.
  6. No harm to the body due to a balanced diet.

But not all nutritionists agree with this because of the need to eat only one type of food during the day.

Now we will analyze the disadvantages and contraindications of the methodology for seeing the big picture and the right choice of diet:

  • it is not suitable for too busy people because of the need for frequent and fractional meals;
  • the diet requires sufficient cash, as the products must be of high quality and natural;
  • Do not apply the diet to women during pregnancy and lactation, as well as children and adolescents.

Another opinion of nutritionists agrees that extra pounds should leave the body slowly. A 6 petal diet leads to a quick weight loss process. But you should be aware that fat, even with the strictest diet, goes up to 150 g during the day. And the remaining grams are water, muscles and intestinal contents.

If you follow all the rules, exercise, do not smoke or drink excessive amounts of alcohol, and of course, this technique is not contraindicated for you, it will only benefit you without harm to health and appearance.

Daily menu

When deciding to go on a 6-petal daisy diet, it’s important to remember to eat only the recommended foods, and these include vegetables, cottage cheese, cereals, fish, chicken meat and fruits. In no case should you swap days - the main thing is the exact observance of all recommendations.

The first day - fish mono-diet

On this day, all varieties and types of fish are allowed, including oily, but not more than half a kilogram. At the same time, there are any cooking methods, except frying. Such nutrition will saturate the body with polyunsaturated fatty acids that have beneficial effects on the skin, hair and nails.

The second is vegetable day

On such a day, even potatoes are allowed to be eaten, including any other vegetables, stewed and baked, up to 1.5 kg, but without the addition of oil. Carbohydrates, slowly absorbed by the body, help to get rid of excess weight, and fiber activation of digestive processes.

Third day - chicken mono-diet

A maximum of 500 g of chicken is allowed per day. Especially good for this skinless breast. Without carbohydrates, your body will draw energy from available reserves of fat.

Fourth - Cereal Day

In the second round of the methodology (possible 7 days after the completion of the first), if such a need is ripe, other products can be included. However, they remain the same on designated days. For example, octopus, shrimp and seaweed are also included in the first fish one. It is allowed to include turkey, veal or beef in chicken.

You should not use this technique for weight loss in the postoperative period if the body temperature is elevated and you feel weak.

The moment of leaving the diet is also important for fixing the result and well-being. Firstly, do not immediately attack the fried and fatty foods - the first days try to eat balanced, and not overeating.

Secondly, the calorie content of dishes should not exceed 2000 Kcal per day if you are regularly engaged in physical self-improvement, and 1800 Kcal if you are far from the concept of fitness.

And thirdly, take time to visit the gym and long walks in the fresh air.
