The "six petals" diet implies that it is necessary to alternate different mono-diets for six days. Thus, the first advantage of this diet is its short duration.
Its authors promise that with this diet you can lose up to one kilogram.
In addition, the diet on such a diet is quite varied, and the feeling of hunger does not cause suffering due to the fact that it is assumed that meals will be frequent.
But there is also a downside.
Due to the imbalance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates that inevitably occurs as a result of a mono-diet, the body becomes stressed and can react with headaches and deterioration of health.
In addition, those losing weight using this principle often encounter problems with digestion. Due to an excess or lack of nutrients, the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and internal organs is disrupted, which can be associated with bloating, heartburn and diarrhea.
Another disadvantage is the low energy value of protein periods. 100 grams of chicken contains about 165 calories, so to achieve the minimum daily norm of 1500 kcal, you need to eat almost a kilogram of meat, which is physically difficult to achieve. In addition, consuming such an amount of protein can cause protein poisoning.
Finally, if you have chosen the "6 petals" as a way to lose weight, be prepared to face the lack of freedom of choice of products. Due to strict restrictions, you cannot replace some products with others, even if they have the same calorie content.
