Is it possible to lose weight with kefir: the conclusions of nutritionists will surprise many
Many have heard that kefir is supposedly one of the best products for rapid weight loss.
There are even special kefir diets.
Some people arrange fasting days on this fermented milk drink, counting on quick results.
Is it possible to lose weight with kefir?
Experts believe that the drink itself does not have the effect of losing extra pounds, so it must be introduced into the diet correctly when losing weight.
Keep in mind that a liter of kefir can contain 500 kcal, depending on the fat content. This can be compared to eating a portion of dessert.
Therefore, when losing weight, you should limit yourself to one glass of low-fat drink during the day. It is best to enrich it with greens or prepare vegetable smoothies based on it.
If the diet corresponds to the calorie deficit, then weight loss will occur quickly. After all, the drink helps cleanse the body and has a positive effect on the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
But kefir diets are unlikely to be effective. Many are mistaken when they believe that kefir protects against overeating. On the contrary, the drink can cause hunger pangs.
If you arrange a fasting day on kefir, then this will not only not create a calorie deficit (in the absence of other food, you will have to consume about 2-3 liters of the product), but will also only "irritate" the appetite.
