Like any cereal diet, the pearl diet for weight loss is quite easy and pleasant in terms of well-being. Anxiety can be felt only the first one or two days, while the body will be rebuilt for a new type of food.
Perl porridge: a diet for health
Pearl barley is a product made from a single barley core. The most important thing at the same time is the preservation of the shells of grain, and hence the fiber necessary for the human body and the mass of useful substances.
The pearl diet is good because it enriches the human body with all the microelements that this unique croup is rich in: vitamins A, E, D, a complex of vitamins B, iron, copper, calcium, iodine and phosphorus. Such a rich composition certainly improves the person's health, increases his brain activity, strengthens the immune system and heart muscle. A lysine - amino acid, which is rich in barley - contributes to the enhancement of collagen synthesis, which is necessary for youthful skin and joint health.
Diet on pearl barley is good and because the body receives a large amount of fiber for a long time, thanks to which there is an active cleaning of the intestine.
Of course, despite the abundance of positive properties of the pearl barley, the diet still requires additional adoption of the vitamin complex, since all the necessary pearl barley can not yet provide.
Diet on the barley for 5 days
Observe a pearl diet can be 5 days. During this time, you can lose about 7% of your body weight (usually 3-5 kilograms). This diet exists only for those who have great willpower: not every person will be able to eat porridge without salt, sugar and spices for several days!
The most famous version of it excludes all dishes, except pearl barley. Cook it as follows: in the evening, soak a glass of pearl barley in clean water - it should be a lot. In the morning, boil 5 glasses of water, add our soaked and strained pearl barley and cook on low heat until cooked. Salt, sugar and any additives are prohibited. Finished porridge - this is all you can eat for a day.
You need to eat porridge in equal portions 5 times a day. In addition, you can afford only green tea without sugar and additives or water. In addition, once a day, before going to bed, you can drink a glass of 1% kefir.
Pearl diet for weight loss for 7 days
There is another version of the pearl diet. In this case, the menu is not as strict:
- Breakfast : lean porridge porridge with steamed in boiling water prunes or dried apricots (per serving of no more than 5 pieces). You can replace dried fruits with apples.
- Lunch : pearl barley serves as a side dish, the second part - vegetables, and as the main dish - a piece of boiled meat or poultry.
- Dinner : you can have dinner with a portion of pearl barley and a glass of kefir, or you can replace the pearl barley with fat-free cottage cheese.
- For a second breakfast and a snack, you can drink a glass of green tea without sugar.
Such a pearl diet can use different recipes for dinner: for example, you can make stuffed pearl barbecue with mushrooms peppers or cabbage rolls with a similar filling. The main thing that the dishes were dietary, did not contain a lot of fat and were prepared without oil - or, at least, with a very small amount.
For 7 days on such a diet you can lose weight about the same as for 5 days on a more strict version. However, for many it is still more preferable, since a strict version requires addiction.
