The curd diet is not suitable for everyone. This is the best choice for those who love this product. Those who do not like fresh cheese will find it difficult to eat just such a dish for several days.
Features and principles of the curd diet
The cheese diet has its own characteristics. It not only allows you to lose extra pounds, but also helps to strengthen the skeletal system, teeth, hair, nerves and speed up the metabolism. A short-term diet with cottage cheese does not stress the body, since it is fully supplied with the necessary substances. Curd contains many vitamins and easily digestible proteins, moreover, it gives a feeling of fullness quickly.
Rule:
- Fermented dairy products must have a low fat percentage (no more than 5%), otherwise you will not be able to lose weight. But it is not worth it to eat cheese that is completely fat-free, it will not yield results;
- during the diet, you need to drink a sufficient amount of water - at least one and a half liters.
It is very convenient to arrange fasting days with cheese. They will not only help you lose a little weight, but also cleanse your body and speed up your metabolism.
If you don't trust the store's products, you can make your own cheese sticks from the village's milk:
- Place fresh produce in the refrigerator to separate the milk from the cream.
- Collect ice cream.
- Place the milk in a warm and dark place to store the yogurt.
- Pour the resulting curd into the pot and heat, but do not boil. The product will begin to roll back.
- When it cools, stretch the block through the cheesecloth. The curd is ready.
Serum may be used for other purposes.
