The 6-petalled diet is an effective diet for Swedish nutritionist Anna Johansson. This diet has enabled thousands of European women to lose tens of kilograms! Johansson’s “flowers” technique still struggles with being overweight today, winning over more and more fans who dream of losing weight.
A diet that has helped thousands of women around the world!
The effect of dieting on extra pounds is really impressive! Statistics show that 8 out of 10 people who lose weight achieve maximum weight loss. The average daily height per day is 500 to 800 grams. In general, supporters of a diet with "6 petals" manage to lose "desired" 10-15 kg in just a few weeks!
6 days - 6 mono diet - 6 flower petals
The 6-petalled diet continues for six days, during which weight loss will be observed by 6 special mono-diets, successively following each other.
The first day is the first mono-diet, the second day is the second, the third is the third, and so on. The scheme of action of the six petals is based on a sequential change of mono-diet. According to nutritionist Anna Johansson, who created this method for weight loss, the 24-hour mono-diet is the food system that best alleviates weight loss.
The 6-petalled diet is the easiest and happiest diet
In fact, the 6-petal diet has earned the most praise from women for losing weight! And not just because of the high efficiency in relation to extra pounds. Swedish nutritionist Anna Johansson, developing this technique, sought to psychologically support women who were losing weight. She gave her diet a light floral look by visualizing her menu as a hand-drawn flower.
With this, Anna is trying to say that her diet will help her not only to get rid of extra pounds quickly, but also to maintain her health, mood and a positive outlook on herself. After all, even the most effective weight loss program will be ineffective if it brings a woman discomfort and depression, says Dr. Johansson.
In order to lose weight, she included a game in which each new day would bring him a sense of self-satisfaction and self-esteem, the nutritionist suggested cutting her own flower out of paper, like the one in the picture. Nor does the paper model need to look like a “chamomile”. At the end you can show a tulip, a lily, an orchid. . . The main thing is that your flower has 6 petals, which you will successively. . . to tear off.
Cut your flower out of paper and tear off one petal after each day on the diet!
Yes, yes, tearing off one petal of paper every day, you will feel that this day was not in vain for your figure, that your willpower overcame all the "delicious" temptations! Mark the petals according to the picture above so you don't get confused!
Of course, it's up to you whether to cut a paper flower or not. However, according to data among women surveyed who used a six-petal diet, the best results were achieved by those who hung their own carved flower on the refrigerator door.
So, we recommend that you follow the advice of the popular nutritionist Ana Johansson and plant a "diet" flower in a prominent place!
How diet works
How a 6-petal diet works on being overweight is easy! Its secret lies in the direct physiology of our digestion, - says Dr. Anna Johansson.
First, any mono-diet is basically following the rules of separate meals. By using a product prescribed in a certain "petal", ie given to a child, you do not mix incompatible elements that harm your figure.
For those who don’t know, we note: such “competitive” substances slow down the rate of digestion, resulting in the formation of proteins, fats or carbohydrates, which, without digestion time, are converted into subcutaneous fat. In the diet with "6 petals", there is no simultaneous use of different types of food, so - says Anna Johansson - the possibility of additional weight gain is excluded.
Second, says a Swedish nutritionist, daily mono-diets provoke rapid weight loss due to a monotonous diet throughout the day. Studies by the European Weight Loss Center show that a mono diet that lasts a maximum of 25 hours is the most aggressive on those extra pounds. This is due to some characteristics of our digestive system, more precisely, due to its specific organ - the liver.
As you know, the liver is a storehouse, a kind of refrigerator for the whole organism. It stores various substances that the body "does not need" yet. In other words, this digestive organ keeps a lot of nutrients “in reserve”. Remember, the main word here is "many".
Every day a child with "6 petals" follows a certain mono-diet, following which weight loss will be consumed by one particular product: chicken, cottage cheese, fish. The liver, which we talked about above, as well as the whole body, is fed up with cooked chicken meat even at breakfast and. . . begins to wait for a new food source with a different chemical composition. Do you remember that the key word for the liver is “a lot” of nutrients? But, friends, you will not use other products during the day, because this is a daily mono-diet!
This is how the following effect is achieved: the body, expecting something "new", almost "in vain" digests chicken meat (fresh cheese, fish, fruit), practically without using its energy value. However, in order to function, it needs a source of energy. Fortunately due to weight loss, this source will be his own fat stores, or extra pounds. Subcutaneous fat will be consumed quickly enough, starting in the middle of the day. So you can imagine how much body fat you can burn on just one “petal” or on one daily mono-diet using the “6 petals” method.
Third: Another important feature of the diet that allows you to lose weight effectively is the scheme of protein and carbohydrate exchange. Diet programmer, doctor Anna Johansson, claims that 50% of successful weight loss is on a 6-petalled diet precisely because of this scheme!
Judge for yourself:
- 1 day- mono-diet of fish - diet of pure protein;
- Day 2- mono-vegetable diet - diet with pure carbohydrates;
- Day 3- mono-diet of chicken - diet of pure protein;
- Day 4- mono-cereal diet - diet with pure carbohydrates;
- Day 5- mono-diet with cottage cheese - diet of pure protein;
- Day 6- mono-fruit diet - diet with pure carbohydrates.
Protein and carbohydrate changes are one of the keys to a 6-petalled baby's success!
As you can see, every day there is a change in the diet of protein into carbohydrates. This tactic allows you to “cheat” the body, forcing it to consume the fat stored in the body while not feeling carbohydrate (energy) hunger.
As for the fatty component of the 6-petal diet, it is represented by extremely useful monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (fish, cottage cheese, chicken), which cannot compensate for the human fat consumed in the diet. Therefore, such fats fall into the category of dietary, and are present in the diet solely for a balanced diet.
So, let's summarize the main features of a 6-petalled diet, allowing you to lose weight quickly and efficiently:
- The exchange of proteins and carbohydrates causes weight loss due to the use of subcutaneous fat reserves in the body.
- Separate diet principles that help accelerate weight loss.
- One-day mono-diets that allow you to effectively "burn" fat deposits.
- Lack of symbiotic digestion will prevent even the slightest weight gain.
Follow the sequence of petals!
The following mono-diet sequence is extremely important in a 6-petalled diet:
- Day 1 - Fish mono-diet.
- Day 2 - Plant mono-diet.
- Day 3 - chicken mono diet.
- Day 4 - mono-diet of cereals.
- Day 5 - Mono diet with curd.
- Day 6 - fruit mono-diet.
Swedish nutritionist Anna Johansson, who developed a 6-petalled diet, says the diet should be followed in the order in which it is indicated. You should not change the menu and, for example, on the third day, instead of chicken, follow a mono diet with cottage cheese!
The point is that each of the above mono-diets has its role in the weight loss process. In addition, the "6 petals" technique uses a protein and carbohydrate exchange scheme as an effective tool for removing excess weight. And this proves once again that in no case should you change days! Otherwise, you will violate the weight loss program provided by the 6-petalled diet and its famous creator, nutritionist Anna Johansson.
In addition, each previous menu prepares a body for the next day's menu.
The fish mono-diet on the first day slightly "sleeps" the body's alertness, supplying it with a significant amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega-3. These acids are actually healthy fats that due to their composition cannot be converted into subcutaneous fat deposits.
In addition, fish is the most digestible protein of all existing species. Even turkey proteins are inferior to it in nutritional properties.
Thus, a fish mono-diet, with a small amount of calories per day, will bring not only a significant drop, but also prepare the body for a plant-based diet due to the high content of high-quality proteins.
Herbal mono-diet prescribed for weight loss on the second day will further reduce the calorie content in the daily diet and enrich the body with useful plant carbohydrates, which due to their structure consume a small amount of energy with significant costs for their digestion. Because the body needs extra energy to process them, it reduces the number of its own fat cells.
So in one day a mono-child can lose up to 2 pounds of extra pounds. Plant mono-diets are even more effective if they were preceded exclusively by a protein diet. In the diet with 6 petals the previous day, only fish products were consumed, which corresponds to pure protein food.
A mono chicken diet will replenish the body’s protein stores. Since the previous day of weight loss followed a vegetable mono-diet, all proteins, "eaten" with chicken, without a trace will be spent on strengthening muscles and in no way will replenish body fat reserves. Feeling a lack of carbohydrates, your metabolism will again adjust to receiving energy from the body’s fat cells, resulting in significant weight loss in a given day.
A mono-grain diet is also rich in carbohydrates that help the body lose weight. Cereals, which have a fairly hard shell, are difficult for the stomach to digest. It takes a lot of effort and time for the digestive system to digest them. The body will, as in the case of a plant-based diet, make up for the lack of energy at the expense of its own fat stores.
Since the previous day thinner followed a mono-diet of chicken, the complex carbohydrates of cereals will almost completely replenish glycogen stores. Therefore, the body energy required for vital activities, again, will have to be taken up using subcutaneous adipose tissue.
A single diet with curd on the fifth day will replenish the missing mineral reserves, depleted in the previous 4 days. At the same time, cottage cheese, as a low-calorie source of high-quality protein, will be almost completely broken down into essential amino acids, because it is closest in composition to the "ideal" protein. Thus, the “cottage cheese” protein of the liver will not be converted into glucose which the body cannot supply with energy. As a result, your metabolism will again have to turn to the stored extra pounds that you want to get rid of so much.
The fruit mono-diet of the final, sixth day of the diet is designed to provide the body with complex carbohydrates - polysaccharides. The polysaccharides contained in the fruit are difficult to digest in the human gastrointestinal tract, and for that they release large doses of energy. Where do you think this energy will come from? Well, of course, from your fat reserves. Turns out you're losing weight again!
As you can see, every day a child with "6 petals" is thought through to the smallest detail! All 6 days - links of one chain, one consistent and effective weight loss program. "Therefore, in no case do not change them at your discretion! - warns nutritionist Anna Johansson.
