General rules

The birthplace of kefir is the bottom of Mount Elbrus, the Caucasus is a great health resort. It is only right that this invigorating and healing drink should be featured there. For a long time, the secret of making kefir was known to a few people and passed on in the family from father to son in the same way, for example, that the French cheesemakers had a secret of their signature cheese. to do. That's why kefir began to produce quite recently - only at the beginning of the 20th century. And the legend about the appearance of this fermented milk product is very exciting!

In 1908, a beautiful and young graduate of a dairy school and an employee of a dairy company traveled to the North Caucasus, accompanied by a partner, to discover the secret of making kefir. But before this secret was revealed, the Karachai prince fell in love with the girl. For a whole month they stayed in Fatima, traveled around the villages and tried to find kefir fungi. But their efforts were in vain. Desperate, the researchers decided to go home, but the riders who kidnapped the girl blocked their way. She came to her senses in an unfamiliar shrine, where the Prince was already standing beside her with a magnificent bouquet of flowers and offered to be his wife. But it was not there! The girl's partner turned to the law enforcement officers, and the kidnapping case went to court. But the local judge did not want to ruin a relationship with the noble kefir magnate and begged the girl to forgive him. She forgave, but in exchange for 4. 5 kg of dry kefir fungi.

What is useful kefir?

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 the fat content and calorie content are less, which, of course, is only to our advantage.

The production of kefir is regulated by the interstate standard (GOST), according to which 100 g of high quality product must be:

  • 2. 8 g protein;
  • from 0. 5 to 8. 9% fat.

The shelf life of kefir is one of the indicators of its quality. Long shelf life indicates that additives have been used in their production that prevent the development of microorganisms. 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, will lose all their valuable properties and deteriorate in less than a day, even if they are in the refrigerator.

What can replace kefir in the 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 a great alternative to kefir and is always onthe store shelves.

How long can you sit on a kefir diet?

Of course, only your doctor can prescribe the duration of any diet. However, if you decide for yourself to stick to a diet for a while, you should start from your own emotions and well-being. First of all, the diet is designed to benefit you. If the diet leaves you suffering from hunger, there is a breakdown,depression, dizziness, faintingthen you need to change your diet.

After that, 3-5 days is the safest duration for a kefir diet, provided you carefully control your fitness.

For the question of how to properly sit on a kefir diet: choose the freshest products of the highest quality of which you are 100% sure. Stock up on starters if you decide to make your own kefir, or find a store nearby that sells kefir that meets nutritional needs so you don’t buy the first one you see.
