The curd diet is not suitable for everyone. This is the best choice for those who love this product. For those who do not like cottage cheese, it will be very difficult to eat only such a dish for a few days.
Features and principles of cottage cheese diet
Curd 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 metabolism. Short-term diet on cottage cheese does not bring stress to the body, because it provides all the necessary substances. Curd is rich in vitamins and easily digestible protein, and quickly gives a feeling of satiety.
Rules:
- low percentage of fat in fermented milk (not more than 5%), otherwise you will not be able to lose weight. However, eating completely lean cottage cheese is not worth it, it will not work;
- During the diet you need to drink enough water - at least one and a half liters.
It is very convenient to organize fasting days on cottage cheese. They will not only help you lose some weight, but also cleanse your body and speed up your metabolism.
If you do not trust a store product, you can make cottage cheese from village milk:
- Put the fresh product in the refrigerator to separate the milk from the cream.
- Stack the cream.
- Put the milk in a warm and dark place so that it is sour.
- Pour the resulting whipped milk into a saucepan and heat, but do not boil. The product will start to curl.
- When cool, strain the mass through a sieve. The curd is ready.
The serum can be used for other purposes.
