The essence of diet
Diet 6 Petals was created by Anna Johansson. He is a well-known Swedish nutritionist. Food system for weight loss approved by the Dietetic Association. Studies have been done that have shown that people lost 500 grams per day, and sometimes up to 800 grams. At the same time, their general health remained good.
Finally, additional medical examinations of the volunteers were performed. The results showed that the health of the program participants improved. In other words, the 6 petal diet not only helps you lose weight but also strengthens your body.
The duration of such a course is 6 days (hence the name of the diet). The main principle is the special food, thanks to which the slimming effect is achieved. For 6 days, you should adhere to different mono-diets - one per day. The sequence should not be broken, as it is an alternation of carbohydrate and protein days.
During one day, you will have to eat foods that belong to the same food category. The ranking is as follows:
- Fish Day.
- Vegetable Day.
- Chicken Day.
- Grain Day.
- Curd Day.
- Fruit Day.
To avoid consuming more calories than you need, you should measure portions of food each day:
- fish - not more than 500 grams;
- vegetables - up to 1. 5 kg;
- meat - up to 500 grams;
- cereals - up to 200 g;
- cottage cheese - up to 500 grams;

Anna Johansson advised to make a flower with 6 petals in which to write mono diet to keep motivation. Hence the name associated with the plant appeared, although in fact flowers and plants are not used.
