Cleansing and losing weight with a fasting day on cottage cheese

It can be exhausting to recover after the holidays or house parties are over. At the same time, you still want to eat, but the realization that the extra pounds gained in just 2-3 days does not allow you to quickly put on jeans forces you to turn to various methods of cleansing the body and losing weight. One of them, very common, is used most often. This is a fasting day on cottage cheese.

The fasting day technique consists of only one product in the diet during the day. Cottage cheese is healthy, nutritious and tasty, so adherents of a healthy lifestyle often choose it for relief. This option is suitable for those who want to cleanse the intestines or lose weight.

Days when you consume only one product are necessary to “reboot” the body. During the day, our body launches processes that ensure changes in the structure of bone and connective tissue, cellular and fluid metabolism, liberation from excess and unnecessary things - in a word, everything without which a healthy existence is impossible. To ensure that all stages pass easily and unhindered, the body can be helped.

Fasting day on cottage cheese: benefits

Dairy products, in principle, contain a huge amount of a wide variety of useful substances, from proteins to vitamins and minerals that our body needs. Cottage cheese is considered one of the most useful milk products, because its composition is rich in useful substances:

  • Choline, lysine and methionine are amino acids that can support and normalize the functioning of internal organs. In addition, they are the very “building blocks” from which our body builds proteins. Amino acids promote better and faster absorption of minerals and vitamins.
  • The mineral composition of milk is rich in calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, iron and phosphorus. These substances are necessary for cartilage tissue, muscles and bones.
  • Vitamins of groups PP, A and B are directly involved in recovery processes. They significantly boost metabolism, bind and remove free radicals.

Cottage cheese is considered a dietary product, because its specific calorie content per 100 grams is only 105 kilocalories in low-fat form. For a fasting day on cottage cheese, a medium-fat version with approximately 150-160 calories is suitable.

Precautionary measures

Even the healthiest product can be harmful if used incorrectly. Cottage cheese should not be consumed in large quantities in an attempt to speed up the result. The recommended amount of product is about 200 g per day, which is approximately equal to one package if you prefer to buy food in the supermarket.

When carrying out a fasting day, the amount of cottage cheese consumed, as a rule, exceeds the norm, therefore, at the end of the “digestive weekend”, the fermented milk product should be abandoned for the next few days.

Curd fasting day: rules

Some people, wanting quick weight loss, neglect the rules set by nutritionists. Meanwhile, they were not developed by chance. Doctors believe that any diet is a strong stress for the body, so you need to approach it consciously and think about every step.

  • Unloading on cottage cheese or anything else should not be repeated more than once in seven days.
  • Physical education during unloading is not only acceptable, but also desirable. The main thing is to avoid excessive loads.
  • Overwork and stress are things that are best avoided.
  • At least 24 hours before the start of the fasting day, you should completely avoid alcohol, fatty, fried and heavy foods.
  • It is better to divide the daily intake of cottage cheese into 5-6 doses and eat small portions at regular intervals.
  • On this day, you can drink unsweetened tea (black, green, herbal) or a decoction of dried fruits.
  • It makes sense to start the next day, after fasting, with a glass of kefir, yogurt or fermented baked milk.

It is necessary to remember to maintain the water-salt balance. Therefore, it is worth drinking about 1.5-2 liters of water per day.

Useful advice from experts

In order for the fasting diet to be harmless, and for the results to last for a long time, you should follow a few tips.

Nutritionists recommend:

  • For variety, you can eat baked apples.
    It is necessary to unload strictly on certain days of the week for 100–120 days (for example, only on Thursdays, or only on Saturdays), so that there is a strict interval between the days of unloading.
  • In the evening, on the eve of unloading, train yourself to drink a glass of juice or kefir.
  • Alternating with eating apples, you should drink herbal tea and mineral water (still).
  • It is allowed to unload the body until 14-15 hours, and have dinner with low-calorie food.
  • The next day you should not overeat; avoid eating foods that are “heavy” for the stomach.
  • It is recommended to use choleretic herbal infusions to “drive bile through the ducts,” since it stagnates in the liver due to food restrictions.
  • It is necessary to avoid physical and mental stress all day. It’s better to walk more in the fresh air, and instead of a morning jog, go for a massage/sauna (the effect will be better).
  • Apple days are held in summer and autumn.

And here is pragmatic advice from all apple unloading practitioners:

If you don’t have the willpower to eat only fruit, leave only apples, kefir, and water in the refrigerator, so as not to provoke yourself again. So on previous fasting days, try to cook as little as possible. And we wish you to lose weight effectively!

Contraindications and possible harm

This type of cleaning is not universal. There are a number of contraindications:

  • Kidney failure.
  • Allergy (individual intolerance).
  • Increased “bad” cholesterol.
  • Pregnancy and lactation.
  • Pathologies of the genitourinary system.
  • The period of exacerbation of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Before implementing cottage cheese fasting, you should definitely consult with your doctor. If you have chronic or acute diseases of any etiology, you need to create a similar diet exclusively with a nutritionist.

Varieties of curd fasting days

There are many different options for such unloading with this fermented milk product. If the classic option suddenly seems too boring, then you can choose something else for yourself.

Classic version with cottage cheese

“Orthodox” or radical trash-unloading on cottage cheese involves consuming exclusively this product and clean water throughout the day. It is acceptable to include only a small amount of fresh herbs in the menu to diversify the menu.

You can eat no more than 0.6 kilograms of cottage cheese per day. You should drink at least 1.5 liters of water. Additionally, part of the water can be replaced with green tea or a light decoction of dried fruits without dyes or sweeteners.

Fasting days on cottage cheese and kefir

The second option involves consuming 0.4 kilograms of cottage cheese and 1 liter of kefir (low-fat). Both products can be consumed randomly, mixed together or alternated. Water is drunk as usual, that is, 1.5-2 liters per day. If the menu seems overly sour and dull, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of honey to it. The combination of kefir and cottage cheese, according to experts, will make unloading more effective and easy to implement.

Curd and berry unloading

To normalize digestive processes, the body needs fiber, which is found in abundance in fruits and berries. They are rich in minerals, vitamins and other beneficial substances. Therefore, you can add such “goodies” to cottage cheese to get the maximum benefit from this day.

Per day, 0.4 kilograms of low-fat cottage cheese and 0.8 kilograms of various berries and/or fruits are allowed. Experienced people advise dividing all foods into small portions and eating them when the feeling of hunger begins to overcome. Don’t forget about the normal dosage of water.

Apple-curd fasting day

The diet of such a day includes 0.4-0.5 kilograms of fresh low-fat cottage cheese and up to 1 kilogram of apples. As in previous options, you can divide the total volume into small portions, or you can alternate and mix products. Apples can be baked in the oven, or you can prepare curd and apple mixture. It is acceptable to add 1-2 tablespoons of honey. Don't forget to follow the correct drinking regime.

Cottage cheese and bananas

Another innovative option for curd unloading is adding bananas to the main product. They will help more effectively fight hunger pangs, replenish the lack of potassium in the body, and even improve your mood.

The diet includes 0.4 kilograms of low-fat cottage cheese and 4 ripe bananas. It is customary to divide into four parts and consume at approximately equal intervals. It is acceptable to add a little herbal or green leaf unsweetened tea.

Honey and cottage cheese

One of the most effective unloadings on cottage cheese is considered to be curd and honey. Honey goes well with various dairy and lactic acid products; it contains a huge amount of nutrients, microelements, vitamins, and the presence of large amounts of glucose and fructose will provide an energy boost throughout the day.

For a fasting day, take 0.5 kilograms of cottage cheese and 2-3 tablespoons of honey. It is optimal to simply mix them together, divide the resulting mass into 4-5 doses and eat during the day until 19 hours.

Cottage cheese with greens

For lovers of fresh greens, unloading with its introduction into the diet is well suited. Lettuce, arugula, basil, green onions and garlic, dill, wild garlic and cilantro - all this is simply a storehouse of useful substances necessary for the human body.

They usually take 0.6 kilograms of low-fat cottage cheese and 0.5 kilograms of greens of your choice or different types. You need to drink water within normal limits. It is not recommended to add sugar and spices to the above products; salt - in very limited quantities.

Cottage cheese with dried fruits

Nutritionists and experienced ones say that unloading on cottage cheese does not have to be difficult. This day can become enjoyable, nutritious, and the food delicious if you add dried fruits to the menu. During the day you can consume 0.5 kilograms of cottage cheese and 1-2 handfuls of prunes, dried apples, pears and other things, with the exception of dates. You can vary it at your discretion, or you can mix the selected products with cottage cheese and divide into 4-5 doses.

Fully or partially limited products

  • Since the diet is based strictly on low-fat cottage cheese and green apples, all other foods are prohibited.
  • Alcohol and any sweet carbonated drinks and sparkling mineral water are strictly contraindicated.

Fasting day on cottage cheese: reviews and results

Many positive reviews about such exercises indicate their popularity among those who want to lose weight.

Galina, Naberezhnye Chelny:

During pregnancy, I rapidly gained weight, which I could not get rid of after giving birth. The nutritionist recommended doing a fasting on cottage cheese once a week. I ate it with tea without sugar, sometimes adding berries or fruits. After 2 months, the weight has almost returned to normal, but I’m not going to give up fasting days.

Svetlana, Kaliningrad:

Previously, I always sat on cereals, but I decided to try cottage cheese as an alternative. I eat half a kilogram a day, I can add 2 bananas and a tablespoon of honey, dried fruits. I run and ride a bike every day, and I make no exceptions these days. I lose about 600 grams of weight a day, I’m very happy.

Liquid value

Drinking enough fluid is the key to success not only during fasting days, but also with any method of weight loss. Only by receiving nutritious moisture is the body ready to part with the fat deposits that it has saved for a rainy day. And all because the fat layer consists of a large amount of water. Receiving H2O in sufficient quantities, the body does not feel the need to accumulate it, so fat deposits are not deposited, but gradually melt away.
