How I lost 4 kg thanks to the okroshka diet in 5 days - I’m sharing!

I am not a fan of quick mono-diets. During my student years, I suffered from gastritis, so healthy eating is my everything. But there may be events in life that require you to lose a couple of extra pounds in a short period of time. This is what happened to me: my best friend’s wedding is coming up, and my favorite evening dress is a little tight. The time-tested, delicious, but no less effective okroshka diet came to the rescue.

Is okroshka considered a dietary dish?

There are a wide variety of recipes for making okroshka, a cold summer soup. But if you want to lose weight, you need to pay special attention to the amount of kcal. The highest calorie content will be okroshka, which contains sausage, pork, mayonnaise, and fatty sour cream. These foods contain a lot of fat, so eating them as part of a meal will not help you lose weight.

Dietary cold soup is prepared on a low-calorie basis - whey, ayran, kvass. You can add any vegetables to the dish:

You can add protein-enriched foods to your vegetable dish. This is chicken meat, boiled eggs, beef, lean ham.

100 grams of dietary okroshka contain only 60 calories. At the same time, eating a medium portion of the dish allows you to quickly satisfy your hunger.

Who is the diet suitable for?

A method of weight loss is indicated for people with an acute feeling of hunger. Eating involves drinking a large volume of liquid, which fills a significant part of the stomach. This creates the illusion of fullness, and a person eats much less.

This diet has no clear time limits. It can be used by men and women with equal effectiveness. At the same time, there are contraindications. These include metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disorders, and chronic gastrointestinal pathologies.

The okroshka-based food system is of the fast type. This means that weight loss is achieved due to gastrointestinal disorders, i.e. diarrhea. This condition can lead to the loss of large volumes of fluid. To avoid dehydration, nutritionists recommend drinking plenty of any non-carbonated liquid.

The okroshka diet plan differs from the “soup” diet in that it involves the consumption of protein-enriched foods. This is suitable for people who lead an active lifestyle, which can certainly be called a plus. It is important to remember that strength training should be postponed while you are on a diet. In combination with an unbalanced diet, they can cause disturbances in the functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. It is better to give preference to breathing exercises, Pilates, and yoga. It is recommended to replace cardio exercise with leisurely bike rides.

Is it possible to lose weight on it?

By consuming okroshka instead of high-calorie fatty foods, you can significantly reduce the energy value of your diet. Cold soup made from vegetables and dietary meat can also be combined with other low-calorie foods, the consumption of which promotes weight loss.

Attention! Okroshka can be eaten with whole grain bread, toast or crispbread. These products go well with vegetable soups. To lose extra pounds, okroshka should be eaten in moderation. The volume of one serving should not exceed 250 milliliters. This amount of food is enough to get rid of hunger.

Interesting fact. It is believed that the recipe with fish appeared thanks to barge haulers on the Volga. For lunch they were usually given bread kvass and roach. The latter was so hard that they began to pre-soak it in the drink, and then crumbled the vegetables that were at hand into it and ate it all together.

Calorie content

The fewer calories there are in okroshka, the better the weight loss results will be. So that you can get an idea of ​​how this indicator changes depending on the composition of the dish, we bring to your attention a comparative table. Let's take the classic recipe as a basis, but the dressing will be different.

• beef meat (no fat, boiled, no salt);
• potatoes (new, boiled);
• onions (green feathers);
• cucumbers (small, fresh);
• radishes (fresh);
• dill, parsley (greens);
• egg (chicken, hard-boiled, whole).

Calorie content and nutritional value per 100 g of dish for different types of dressing:

* Tan is a Caucasian fermented milk drink made from cow or goat milk, a starter culture of lactic acid bacteria, lactic yeast, salt and water.

Now you know whether okroshka made with kvass and kefir is high in calories: yes, the first option turns out to be more dietary, but why does everyone advise choosing lactic acid dressings for weight loss? The fact is that you will have to consume exclusively this dish for 5-7 days. Kvass is a drink made on the basis of fermentation; it contains gases, so regular consumption of it in large quantities will negatively affect digestion. Colic, flatulence, and diarrhea may begin. Kefir, on the contrary, is famous for its beneficial properties for the gastrointestinal tract.

So choose your recipe wisely, from the main salad ingredients to the dressing.

Russian folk recipe. Okroshka with kvass is a Polish national dish. When it migrated to the Russians, they remade the recipe and began to cook it with cucumber and cabbage brine.

• 200 grams of boiled mushrooms. We recommend adding boiled mushrooms to dietary okroshka made with kvass. They contain a minimum of calories, but are quite nutritious.
• 2 green cucumbers

How much kvass to put in this okroshka depends on your preferences. For thicker okroshka, use a liter; if you like it thinner, you can use 1.5 liters. Cut mushrooms, cucumbers, and whites into pieces. Mix chopped greens with yogurt. Mix everything and fill it with kvass.

Recommendations

When planning to lose weight on okroshka, take on board a few tips that will help make it more healthy, tasty and low-calorie.

The ideal time for such weight loss is summer. This should be a vacation, since at work it is unlikely that there will be an opportunity to eat okroshka for several days, and even strictly according to the clock.

It is recommended to first try different types of dishes to understand 2 things:

1. Which one do you like best in terms of taste?
2. Which one does the stomach react to more calmly?

Prepare for the laxative effect of the diet, but be extremely careful in this matter. Diarrhea should be mild and should not be accompanied by stomach pain. If side effects bother you, you should choose another recipe or abandon this method of losing weight.

Prepare fresh okroshka every day: cut the main vegetable mass in the morning, and before eating, pour in the required volume of cold liquid dressing.

An old recipe. In the cookbook “Russian Cookery” by V. Levshin (18th century) a recipe for okroshka was found, which included: fried meat of various types, onions, fresh or pickled cucumbers, pickled plums, vinegar, cucumber or plum brine, kvass. Judging by the ingredients, it turned out to be a vigorous dish!

Recipes for dietary okroshka - an ideal dish for safe weight loss!

It's hot, it's hot... It's time to prepare something light, cool, that quenches hunger and thirst at the same time for a sun-tired body. This should definitely be pp-okroshka - a dietary yummy, the recipe of which is indispensable both when losing weight and simply when planning a pp menu.

You may ask, is it possible to eat okroshka on a diet? Why not? Okroshka, beloved by many, will not only not harm, but will also help in the fight against excess weight! And losing weight will definitely be delicious - okroshka made with kefir, whey, sorrel decoction or kvass, without sausage and potatoes, with plenty of vegetables and herbs. This is a pp guy's dream!

General rules

• Prepare a dish with kefir. First of all, the benefits of kefir as an easily digestible protein product are taken into account. Secondly, kefir has a positive effect on digestion in general and intestinal microflora.
• You should not include high-calorie and unhealthy foods in the soup: fatty meat, sausage, smoked meats, fatty sour cream and mayonnaise.
• If you wish, you can diversify the composition of the classic cold soup by adding radishes and green peas, but you need to keep in mind that the calorie content of the dish will increase. The same applies to sour cream - if you include it in a cooking recipe, then no more than two tablespoons for the daily amount of soup. The calorie content of two tablespoons of 15% sour cream is 64 calories.
• In addition to the traditionally included cucumbers, potatoes and radishes, the version of cold vegetable soup can also include boiled cauliflower. It is better not to use boiled carrots as they have a high glycemic index .
• The number of eggs in a daily serving is no more than two.
• It is useful to diversify your diet by eating meat, vegetable and fish hash.
• Meat or fish ingredients may be present in the daily serving of cold soup in the amount of 200-250 g.
• Minimize the use of salt and seasonings. This also applies to mustard powder sauce, which is often added to soup to add heat and piquancy. When losing weight, it is better to exclude it when preparing a dish, since mustard stimulates the appetite, which is undesirable while on a diet.
• During the day, consume only this cold soup. If desired, you can additionally include an unsweetened apple or fresh vegetable salad in your diet.
• Drink still water, green and herbal tea; coffee lovers can afford one serving of natural coffee.
• Avoid sweets, baked goods, smoked and fatty foods.

As with most diets, there are several variations on this diet:

• Hard, in which the amount of cold soup is limited to 1.2-1.5 liters.
• Without limiting the consumption of cold soup.
• Eating food prepared according to the same recipe every day.
• Alternate every day okroshka, including different ingredients.

The diet lasts one week and during this time you can lose from 3 to 5 kg. The first results will be noticeable in 2-3 days. The choice of option and recipe for preparing the dish is yours. The main thing will be caloric content, the most useful composition, as well as adherence to certain products. Vegetarians will choose the meat-free option. Lovers of fish and seafood can easily make okroshka with them.

We present a diet option with the use of different types of okroshka on each subsequent day of the diet.

They start the diet by eating the least high-calorie vegetable okroshka with kefir (38 kcal/100 g). It does not include sour cream and meat products, but contains only fresh cucumbers, green onions, boiled potatoes and eggs. For a liter of base (kefir is diluted with boiled water in a 1:1 ratio) take 1 pc. potatoes, a bunch of greens, a bunch of onions and one egg. During the day, eat 1.2 liters of cold soup in 200 ml portions.

On the second day, dietary okroshka is prepared, prepared with diluted kefir with the addition of 200 g of boiled meat, eggs, vegetables and herbs. Choose lean veal or beef (with veal you get 78 kcal). The entire amount of cold soup is also divided into 6 equal parts.

On the third day, vegetable okroshka is used again as on the first day, but the egg is removed from the recipe, and boiled water is replaced with mineral water (such as “Borjomi” or “Essentuki”). Due to the absence of an egg, the calorie content of 100 g of soup will be slightly lower - 35 kcal.

Cold soup on the fourth day of the diet differs from vegetable soup in that two chopped tomatoes (200 g) are added to it, but an egg is excluded. Since the calorie content of 2 tomatoes and one egg is almost the same, 100 g of soup will contain 38 kcal (or even less).

On the fifth, sixth and seventh days, the diet of the first - third days is repeated. On all days you need to drink a lot of water (1.5 liters per day).

In our opinion, this food option is low-calorie and contains little animal protein (on the third, fourth and seventh days, the dish is prepared without eggs and five days a week - without meat). Therefore, if you follow it, you may experience a constant feeling of hunger. At the same time, a small amount of boiled potatoes is present in the diet every day, which is usually excluded in weight loss programs. This option is not balanced and is only suitable for people not engaged in physical labor.

You can choose more acceptable options for preparing okroshka - more satisfying and healthy, but nevertheless not very high in calories. Everyone will love this cold, refreshing soup. For example, with boiled chicken, squid, shrimp, fish, recipes for which will be given below.

The diet can be repeated no earlier than after 1.5-2 months, provided it is well tolerated and there are no contraindications. If desired, it can be practiced as one fasting day.

Okroshka is an ideal dish for a pp-schnik

There are a great many classic recipes for okroshka. Many of them can be taken immediately in finished form - they are ideal for proper nutrition. Some will have to be adapted - it’s easy. The main thing is that there is no sausage in it and, of course, that the recipe is without mayonnaise.

Okroshka when dieting is as easy as shelling pears, just replace taboo foods with permitted ones.
Instead of sausage, take chicken, beef or even fish (river and sea fish will do).

Mayonnaise will give way to sour cream with a low fat content, let's forget potatoes altogether - without them the dish turns out no worse.

PP-okroshka is a quick dish to prepare. The components are finely chopped or crushed using a grater, liquid is added - kefir, whey, tan, ayran, mineral water, kvass, sorrel decoction. Mix thoroughly, season with sour cream (low-calorie, of course!), and serve.

For this cold first course, eggs, meat, and fish are first boiled. The latter can be baked in the oven - in foil, in a sleeve, or simply in a mold, for example, this is how you can prepare chicken. But the main thing in a pp dish remains greens and vegetables. Green onions and dill, spinach, lettuce, sorrel, cucumbers, radishes or radishes - the more of them, the tastier it is. When losing weight, okroshka prepared according to all the rules will even help you get rid of several unnecessary kilograms!

Recipe with chicken breast and whey

Okroshechka made with whey (my grandmother in the village said it was made with cheese) is, in my opinion, the most delicious and lightest! You just need to find a real dairy product! Then, in addition to taste, we will also get a lot of benefits - there are no less of them in whey than in other fermented milk products.

Everything is prepared quite quickly if the eggs and chicken fillet are already boiled.
