Kefir is called a healthy fermented milk product, and it is also very popular among people who are losing weight and on a diet.
At the same time, the drink is simple and inexpensive, but this does not mean that you can buy the first kefir you come across.
We will tell you what points you should definitely take into account when choosing kefir. This is important for weight loss.
Compound
Kefir should contain nothing but milk and starter (the so-called kefir fungus).
If the starter is not listed in the ingredients, then it is not kefir at all.
Fat content
In addition to the composition, you need to pay attention to the percentage of fat. It is logical that for weight loss it is worth buying a low-fat product.
But it will be healthier to buy a fermented milk product with a fat content of at least 3.2% or 2.5%.
The fact is that without fatty acids, vitamin D is not absorbed, and without it, problems with calcium absorption arise.
Best before date
The shelf life of kefir in the refrigerator should not exceed 7-10 days.
Anything above that indicates heat treatment or the addition of preservatives. All of this has a negative impact on the usefulness.
And finally, to get the most benefit for weight loss, you need to consume kefir separately from other foods, and also drink kefir warmed to room temperature, but not heated in the microwave.
