Features and principles of the curd diet
Diet on cottage cheese has its own characteristics. It not only allows you to lose extra pounds, but also helps to strengthen the skeletal system, teeth, hair, nerves and speed up metabolism. A short-term diet on cottage cheese does not bring stress to the body, since it is provided with all the necessary substances. The cottage cheese has a lot of vitamins and easily digestible protein, and it also gives a quick feeling of fullness.
Rules:
- a fermented milk product should have a low fat content (not more than 5%), otherwise it will not work to lose weight. But eating completely fat-free cottage cheese is also not worth it; it will not give a result;
- during the diet you need to drink enough water - at least one and a half liters.
It is very convenient to arrange fasting days on cottage cheese. They not only help to lose weight a little, but also cleanse the body and speed up metabolism.
If there is no confidence in the store product, cottage cheese can be prepared independently from village milk:
- Refrigerate the fresh product so that the milk separates from the cream.
- Collect the cream.
- Put the milk in a warm and dark place to make it sour.
- Pour the resulting yogurt into a saucepan and heat, but do not bring to a boil. The product will begin to fold.
- When it cools, strain the mass through cheesecloth. Curd is ready.
Serum can be used for other purposes.
Options for this method of weight loss
Curd diet for weight loss can be multi-product or single-component.
Therefore, everyone can choose for themselves the most optimal option:
