By physiologists it was noticed long ago that the most effective in respect of weight reduction are monodiets. However they have an essential shortcoming: nutritious inferiority. Any product does not contain all set of nutrients necessary for the person, so, cannot become a basis of any long diet. Therefore usually nutritionists advise to spend fasting days, eating some one product within one day: apples, grapes, milk or kefir, etc. In this case the advantage is undoubted, and harm is absent, however if it is necessary to get rid of a large number of kilograms, fasting days can be insufficiently.

Anna Yukhansen, the nutritionist from Sweden, considered these moments, and developed the diet combining all advantages of a monodiet and deprived of its shortcomings, and also considering the principle of separate food, that is proteinaceous and carbohydrate alternation that is optimum from the point of view of load of the alimentary system.

The diet of 6 petals, namely so it called the method, six days last, each of which assumes consumption only of one product. Products are picked up so that to provide an organism to all necessary for a diet. In a diet of 6 petals it is very important to observe the sequence of "petals" - days with a certain set of products. It is not necessary to change products in it as their choice is not accidental, and it is carefully reasonable.

Every day in a diet corresponds to one petal, in general they make a flower with six petals. Anna Yukhansen suggested growing thin to make a flower of paper and to attach on the refrigerator, having signed each petal with a certain product and tearing off every day on one petal (the picture with 6 petals, for the press, is available according to this reference). It disciplines, allows not to get off, correctly alternating products, and adds a game element to serious business of normalization of weight that is always pleasant.

Average loss of weight on this diet makes from 2,5 to 5 kg for one six-day cycle.

Also profitability is important - for observance of this diet exotic products are not required, all set can be bought in the next supermarket and it will manage cheap, in any case, not more expensive than usual food.

Alternation of the products which are picked up taking into account their nutritional value completely covers needs of an organism in necessary macro - and microelements. Thanks to it there are no such unpleasant satellites of many diets as fragility of nails and hair, a skin aggravation of symptoms, decrease in immunity.

During the whole days of a diet it is possible to use salt, natural spices, sheet greens, to have tea or coffee without sugar.

Experience of followers shows that it is simple to keep to a diet of 6 petals. Limited product set is not perceived hard as there is no rigid restriction of amount of the eaten food, the painful feeling of hunger is absent.

Shortcomings of a diet and contraindication

This diet which is carefully developed by the professional practically has no shortcomings. Of course, as well as any diet, it can be transferred differently by people, and there is a small percent growing thin for which "6 petals" are not suitable. As a rule, it is connected with a set of products and undesirability of replacement of one product by another. So, if the person does not eat fish or chicken, then for him such diet will be improper.
