General rules
The birthplace of kefir is the foot of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a great health resort. It is very fair that this invigorating and healing drink appeared there. For a long time, the secret of making kefir was known to few and was passed down in the family from father to son in the same way as, for example, French cheese makers passed on the secrets of making their signature cheese. That is why kefir began to be produced in Russia quite recently - only at the beginning of the 20th century. And the legend of the appearance of this fermented milk product in our country is very exciting!
In 1908, a beautiful and young graduate of the dairy school and an employee of the Moscow dairy company N. Baldanova Irina Makarova(and in marriage - Sakharova) went to the north of the Caucasus, accompanied by her partner Vasiliev, to discover the secret of making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, the Karachai prince fell in love with the girl Bekmurza Bakchorov. Makarova and Vasiliev stayed in his mansion for a whole month, traveled around the villages and tried to get kefir grains. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the researchers decided to go home, but their way was blocked by horsemen who kidnapped Irina. She came to her senses in an unfamiliar hut, when Bekmurza was already standing next to her with a lush bouquet of flowers and offered to become his wife. But it was not there! Vasiliev turned to the guards of order in Kislovodsk, and the case of Irina’s kidnapping came to court. But the local judge did not want to spoil relations with the famous kefir magnate and begged Irina to forgive him. She forgave, but in exchange for 4.5 kg of dry kefir grains.
And very soon in Botkin hospital The first batch of medicinal kefir arrived in Moscow, and after a couple of months it was already sold in stores.
Which kefir is healthy?
For the kefir diet to be successful, you need to use 1% kefir (40 kcal per 100 g). Its properties are the same as those of 2.5% (55 kcal per 100 g), and its fat content and calorie content are lower, which, of course, is to our advantage.
In Russia, kefir production is controlled by an interstate standard (GOST), according to which 100 g of a quality product must contain:
- 2.8 g protein;
- from 0.5 to 8.9% fat.
The shelf life of kefir is one of the indicators of its quality. The long shelf life indicates that additives were used in its production that prevent microorganisms from developing. The bacteria in this kefir sleep until the bottle is opened and oxygen enters it. Therefore, such fermented milk products with a long shelf life, when opened, lose all their valuable properties and spoil in less than a day, even if they are in the refrigerator.
How can you replace kefir in your diet?
The easiest option to replace kefir is a fermented milk drink with a similar composition and production method: fermented baked milk, natural yogurt without additives, ayran - all this is an excellent alternative to kefir and is always available on store shelves.
How long can you stay on the kefir diet?
Of course, only your attending physician can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide to stick to a diet on your own for some time, you should rely on your own feelings and well-being. First and foremost, the diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet makes you suffer from hunger, there is a loss of strength, fainting , then you need to change your diet.
In turn, the safest duration for the kefir diet is 3-5 days, provided that you carefully monitor your well-being.
On the question of how to properly follow a kefir diet: choose the highest quality, fresh products that you are 100% confident in. Stock up on starter cultures if you decide to make kefir yourself, or find a store nearby that sells kefir that meets dietary requirements so you don’t have to buy the first one you come across.
How to prepare diet kefir?
In addition to regular kefir, you can and even need to prepare various kefir cocktails to make the weight loss process more effective. In addition, you can drink such cocktails while sticking to your classic, non-diet menu.
Kefir with cinnamon and ginger
To prepare this fat-burning cocktail, you will need:
- 200 ml kefir 1%;
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon;
- a pinch of red hot pepper;
- 2 teaspoons chopped ginger root.
Kefir with secret
The secret of such kefir lies in your imagination. You can add anything: cucumber, herbs, oatmeal, fruit, dried fruit. The ingredients can be ground in a blender, or you can simply cut them and add them to kefir. Here you can experiment as you please, the main thing is with permitted and compatible products.
Varieties
The kefir mono-diet has a huge number of menu options and duration options. Only you can choose the best one for your body. But, believe me, all the proposed options are effective and useful in their own way.
This diet is intended and indicated for both men and women, if they do not suffer from diseases gastrointestinal tract, diseases of the kidneys, liver, heart, high acidity of the stomach, chronic diseases.
Diet "Chicken, apples and kefir"
A simple and very popular variation of the diet is based on the fact that every 3 days you eat all these foods separately:
First stage
For three days you eat only chicken meat, no more than 500 g per day. It is not recommended to fry chicken; it is best to bake it, without oil and salt, of course, or boil it. Divide into several portions to make 3-4 meals.
Second phase
Here you only need to eat apples in any form: you can fresh, you can bake. Green sour apples are recommended for consumption here: they contain less carbohydrates.
Third stage
At the last stage of the diet, you need to drink exclusively 1% fat kefir in any quantity. It will be ideal if you drink a kefir cocktail with cinnamon and ginger at least once a day, the recipe for which is presented above.
Kefir diet for 3 days
This diet option helps you lose 3-5 kg excess weight and gently cleanse the body in a short time. For 3 days, you need to drink 1.5-2 liters of kefir every day, distributing it over several meals. If your body cannot tolerate such a monotonous diet, you can add no more than 1 kg of vegetables or fruits to the menu.
The 3-day kefir diet has one drawback - slight discomfort and bloating may occur.
If side effects will seem insignificant to you, but the result will satisfy you, we recommend that you try a longer kefir diet in the future, for example, for 4 days or 5 days.
A 4-day diet may look the same as a 3-day diet, but a 5-day diet should be more varied. During the day you can eat boiled meat, vegetables, eggs, dried fruits, fruits in small quantities. And, of course, drink up to 2 liters of kefir daily.
- “... I consider kefir to be a real salvation for those who are overweight, and reviews about its benefits are only positive. It’s easy to lose weight with kefir, because 100 g contains no more than 50 kcal, and you can get enough of it very well. In general, over the past few months I have fallen in love with kefir, I regularly do a fasting day on it once a week, and also often use a kefir diet for 3 days: with its help I lost 2.5 kg, my body was cleansed perfectly!”
Kefir diet for 7 days
Losing weight by 10 kg in 7 days on a kefir diet is quite possible. The main thing is to follow the basic principles of this method of rapid weight loss:
- the main product is kefir, additional products are low-calorie protein products;
- it is necessary to follow a strict daily routine - 5-6 meals every 2 hours;
- You cannot limit yourself to simple purified water and green or herbal tea.
Here are some possible meal plans that the 7-day kefir diet offers:
Every day (except the sixth day) you need to drink 1.5 liters of kefir 1%.
Protein kefir diet
It follows the same pattern, but two fruit days will need to be replaced with meat days: you will eat 400 g of chicken fillet or turkey fillet, steamed, boiled or baked. It is worth remembering that you cannot use salt, but you can improve the taste of dishes with the help of aromatic herbs (basil, rosemary, mint), and herbs.
Of course, you can also turn to the “hungry” version of seven daily diet. Here you need to drink up to 2 liters of kefir daily, and reduce the serving size of additional products to 100 g.
Thus, it’s very easy to make a great transformation in just a week by losing up to 10 kg with the help of a kefir diet.
- “...After the birth of the child, I gained noticeable weight. It was then that a friend recommended a kefir diet. I read the reviews and immediately started working on it. It turned out to be very comfortable and easy for me! Such weekly diet allowed me to get rid of 4 kg! Then I took a break for a week, went on a diet again and lost another 3 kg. This is an excellent result for me! And in general, I love kefir: it’s healthy, tasty, and does wonders for your figure. I highly recommend it!”
Kefir diet for 9 days
Don't be alarmed that you have to sit on kefir for 9 days. This variation of the kefir diet allows you to say goodbye to 3-7 kg and achieve great shape in a short time.
First stage
For the first three days, your menu consists of 1% fat kefir in any quantity and 100 g of buckwheat porridge, prepared without adding salt.
Second phase
Here you also drink 1% fat kefir, and buckwheat replaced by boiled chicken fillet, 100 g per day.
Third stage
At the last stage of the diet, you don’t have to limit yourself to sour green apples and kefir.
- “... I read it good feedback on the Internet about a 9-day diet on kefir, chicken and apples, I decided to try it. The first stage is 3 days on chicken, the second on apples, the last on kefir. What can I say: it’s unbearable. Either my body is not adapted for such torture, or, indeed, the diet is strict, but on the first apple day I lost it, and 3 days on chicken did not give absolutely any results, nothing to brag about”;
- “... I decided to try a diet option where, in addition to kefir, you can eat buckwheat, chicken, and apples, mixed together. All 9 days passed quite easily, the main thing is to keep yourself busy and not think about food. And the result was very pleasing: minus 5 kg in 9 days is excellent for me!”
Kefir diet for 21 days
As such, such a long-term diet does not have a menu for 21 days. Rather, it contains general recommendations on proper and balanced nutrition.
Kefir 1% fat is the key product here, which should be consumed in a glass 5-6 times a day.
With such a long-term diet, you need to reconsider your diet and, in addition to healthy kefir, include large quantities of fresh vegetables and fruits in your menu and get rid of harmful smoked foods, alcohol, white bread, store-bought sweets, fried and fatty foods.
In addition, it is necessary to reduce the amount of red meat in the diet to 1 time per week, and consume no more than 100 g of poultry and fish per day.
Simply put, the number of calories per day should not exceed 1500 kcal. And now you have a choice: have lunch with a kilogram of vegetables or a sandwich with sausage.
They say about such a diet that it has a great effect on digestion and figure, and once you start eating according to such a system, you get used to it and don’t want to quit.
Authorized Products
Of course, the most important and necessary product for this diet is kefir and its variations. If a sour drink is not to your taste, you can also drink fermented baked milk or ayran. By the way, you can also drink yogurt, but make sure that it is without sugar and additives. Buy natural and, if desired, add cereals, fruits, dried fruits, whatever your heart desires.
In addition to kefir, if you do not tolerate monotony in your diet, you can include additional healthy foods. You can eat plenty of vegetables and fruits (excluding bananas and grapes). You can eat poultry and fish in moderation - dishes that you steam, boil or bake without salt, oil, or hot spices. But you can use aromatic basil, rosemary, mint, oregano and so on.
In some cases, on a kefir diet, you can eat cereals, but not just any grains: replace white rice with brown rice, and regular, unprocessed instant oatmeal.

Fully or partially limited products
In the first place among the products that are prohibited during both the kefir diet and the classic non-diet diet are carbonated drinks: they change the acid-base balance of the body, so consuming kefir will be useless, if not dangerous, in such a combination.
Eliminate white bread and replace with whole grain or cereal bread. Within a week you will notice external transformations of your skin, and after 2 months you will notice changes in your figure.
Forget about sausages, smoked meats, dried and canned goods, store-bought sweets for one simple reason: you will NEVER know their actual composition, the amount of salt, sugar, fat, or track the quality of the raw materials. Simply put, forget about the food that was prepared for you.
And the last thing you should give up is alcohol. It is harmful to your body due to its high calorie content and dehydration.

After all, the diet is based on the fact that live bacteria are needed to help the stomach work correctly. Once every 2 weeks I always unload on kefir. I decided to try the weekly one, which promised minus 10 kg in 7 days. I did everything according to the description, and honestly, there were no difficulties. Sometimes, of course, I felt hungry, but I washed down my hunger with kefir or water. As a result, when I stepped on the scales in the morning, after finishing the diet, the results were, of course, not minus 10 kg, but only 5 kg. But I didn’t despair and decided to extend the diet to 9 days. Upon completion, I lost 7.5 kg in weight. Overall, I liked the result, plus I didn’t strain myself too much during this diet. Therefore, I recommend this weight loss system”;
- “... I read a lot about the effectiveness of losing weight on kefir, I tried both unloading and sitting on it for 9 days. Achieved minor results. And one forum recommended fasting on kefir: excellent for losing weight in the abdomen, thighs, sides, legs, arms, and for general healing and cleansing the body. The principle is that for 4 weeks you consume only kefir, sometimes with fruits, vegetables, and cereals. A diet on kefir alone, especially for a month, did not suit me, I just changed my mind about doing it after 1 week. I decided that I couldn’t feel weak, unwell, or avoid activity for the whole month. Therefore, I advise you to stay on kefir for no more than 9 days.”
