Kiwi is no longer considered an exotic overseas product, as it was before. The sweet and sour taste of these shaggy brown fruits captivated our compatriots. By the way, the widespread belief that kiwi is a fruit is wrong. Kiwi is a berry that grows on a bush-like liana with very strong branches. The berry was named after a bird that lives in New Zealand. These unusual fruits were bred by a New Zealand agronomist who cultivated an ordinary Chinese vine. Residents of some countries call kiwi “Chinese gooseberries”.
Kiwi berries weigh from 75 to 100 grams and consist of a whole range of useful elements. Today there are many kiwi-based diets. Let’s focus on the most popular and effective ones.
Kiwi diet requirements
The shortest method of losing weight with the active use of kiwi continues 2 day, for which you can throw off 1-2 extra pounds and expel excess fluid from the body. This is a great way to correct your figure before some important event or after a hearty meal. For two days you need to adhere to a strict diet, which implies the use of 1,5-2 kg of kiwi daily. It is advisable to follow the principles of fractional nutrition. Meals should be the same size and evenly distributed over time. You can spend one day on such a diet.
If you need to lose weight more tangibly, you can ask for help to diet, which is recommended to sit on 7 days… As a rule, during this time, the body leaves at least 3-4 kg of excess weight. With good health and the desire to transform the figure a little more, this version of the kiwi diet can be extended. But experts categorically do not recommend dieting in this way for more than nine days. The list of foods that should be discarded include sugar and all sweets, baked goods, fast food, convenience foods, alcoholic beverages, coffee and black tea, soda. And to base the diet, in addition to kiwi, is recommended on skinless chicken meat, sprouted wheat, semolina, fish, chicken eggs, milk and low-fat cottage cheese, empty yogurt, fruits and vegetables (preferably non-starchy), various herbs, green tea and herbal decoctions. Drink enough clean water daily. Choose the food you like from the listed food and consume it over 5 daily snacks. Do not overeat or eat for the next 3 hours before bed. The rest of the products that are not listed in the forbidden list, you can allow yourself a little, choosing the most useful. Since it is forbidden to add sugar to food and drinks, you can use a small amount (1-2 tsp) of natural honey.
A similar result regarding weight loss is given by the second option of the weekly diet on kiwi… The diet of this method also involves five meals a day. But in this case, a specific menu is prescribed, the basis of which, in addition to kiwi, is the following products: oatmeal, buckwheat, rice, lean meat, apples, berries, vegetables, low-fat kefir and yogurt, dried fruits. The developers of this method of weight loss allow those who find it difficult to do without these drinks to drink a second cup of coffee or black tea, but they strongly recommend doing this before lunch and not adding sugar, cream and other high-calorie additives to them.
3-4 extra pounds (and when sports are connected – up to 7) can be thrown off using two-week kiwi diet… According to its rules, you need to alternate daily rations with a specific list of foods. On the first day, the menu consists of 9-10 kiwis, a sandwich made from whole grain bread and a slice of hard unsalted cheese, boiled chicken breast, low-fat cottage cheese (up to 250 g) and a portion of non-starchy vegetable salad. On the second day, it is allowed to eat up to 10 kiwi fruits, a slice of rye bread, boiled or fried chicken eggs (2 pcs.), Up to 300 g of boiled or steamed lean fish, several small pieces of chicken breast (we do not use oil when cooking), 2-3 fresh tomatoes. Before going to bed, with a strong feeling of hunger, you can drink a glass of low-fat kefir or eat a few tablespoons of cottage cheese with a minimum fat content.
If you are not in a hurry to lose weight, and you are quite satisfied with the gradual, but maximally beneficial for health, excess weight withdrawal, you can just slightly adjust your diet in the direction of usefulness. Limit the use of fatty and frankly high-calorie foods, eliminate snacks before bedtime and introduce more kiwi into your diet. According to the reviews of many people, this practice, with the existing excess weight, allows you to lose from 3 to 9 kg in the first month. Eat kiwi in pure form, add to various salads, make delicious smoothies and you will surely soon be pleasantly surprised by the result.
It is very important to learn how to choose the right kiwi. Ripe fruit should not be hard. If you press lightly on the kiwi, a slight indentation should remain. Also a sign of ripeness is the light aroma of berries, banana or lemon emanating from the kiwi. Correct (i.e. not overripe or green) fruit should have a slightly wrinkled skin. If you still purchased underripe kiwi, the situation can be saved. To do this, place the berries in a dark place to “rest”. This method will allow you to get ready-to-eat kiwis soon.
