The author of this diet is unknown. No one also knows who named her that way. It’s not clear why cheesecakes are funny. Although there is an assumption - perhaps this weight loss technique is called fun, since the menu suggests drinking wine.
The “Five Merry Processed Cheese” diet differs from the classic diet for weight loss - unlike most diets, it includes fatty foods (40-50% fat cheese).
The diet continues for five days, as a result your weight may decrease by three to four kilograms.
Feta – 290 kcal, fat content – 24%, proteins – 17 g
Let's start from the end: the top five low-fat cheeses is closed by feta - the one without which it is impossible to imagine a Greek salad. The fat content of feta can reach up to 50%; we are satisfied with the option with 24%.
Let me make a reservation right away: table No. 5 does not allow overtly salty cheeses, like feta cheese. Feta, although stored in brine, is tender in taste. Therefore, there is no strict ban on it.
Feta takes a lot from sheep's milk, which is its base. This cheese is rich in beta-carotene and vitamins A, E, K, D, group B, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, manganese, selenium, but most of all it contains calcium and sodium.
There are so many beneficial lactic acid bacteria in feta that they are quite enough to eliminate gastrointestinal disorders, including those caused by food poisoning. True, only feta made from natural and unpasteurized sheep’s milk has such properties.
Diet “5 cheerful processed cheeses”
Most of those who have already tried this diet on themselves were very satisfied. Its advantages include the availability of recommended products and their variety, which ensures the availability of the necessary vitamins and other valuable nutrients. This diet does not require any special refinements in preparing dishes. The maximum is to crumble the salad. Therefore, it is easily applicable both at home and at work. Well, a bottle of good white wine included in the “5 processed cheese” diet makes it really fun!
The “5 cheerful processed cheese” diet is designed for 5 days. In order not to tease your appetite during this time, it is best to stock up on the necessary products in advance.
For 5 days you will need:
– processed cheese – 5 pcs., – chicken eggs – 5 pcs., – tomatoes – 5 pcs., – apples – 5 pcs., – cucumbers (or sweet bell peppers) – 5 pcs., – low-fat cottage cheese – 1 kg, – white wine – 0.7 l, – greens to supplement the diet.
Choose tomatoes, apples, cucumbers and sweet peppers that are large enough. It is best to take apples and bell peppers in different colors; this is both healthier and more fun. Choose greens according to your taste: dill, cilantro, green onions, parsley, fennel.
Some gourmets combine cucumber and bell pepper (half a vegetable each) with herbs, getting a tasty and healthy salad. It can be flavored with a minimum amount of low-fat sour cream or vegetable oil. Or you can simply sprinkle with lemon juice.
It is recommended to boil eggs, but practice has shown that they can also be eaten fried. The main thing is not to use salt and oil.
You should not take completely low-fat cottage cheese: you will be tormented by hunger. In addition, the body does not absorb calcium and other nutrients from completely low-fat dairy products. It is better to take cottage cheese of medium fat content. You can add a small amount of sour cream (10% fat) and a drop of honey.
Processed cheeses, as you know, come in different varieties. Some take “Yantar”, others take the fatter “Druzhba”. One stocks up with Viola, and the other with Hochland. “Geometry” doesn’t fit in either. If one cheese is rectangular and the other is triangles, how much and what should you eat? One triangle seems to be significantly smaller than a rectangular block. So, you can eat two triangles and count them as one cheese? Everyone determines the answers to these numerous questions for himself. Obviously, this is why the results are also different: some lose 3-5 kg, while others remain the same weight. There is, however, one fact: no one has yet gained a single gram during the time spent on the “5 cheerful processed cheese” diet. And no one felt hungry or angry.
Mozzarella – 160-280 kcal, fat content – from 17 to 24%, proteins – 28 g
Italian mozzarella, purely formally, is in fourth place in our ranking. In fact, it shares the same position with feta, since its fat content can reach the same 24%. But if you try, you can find a more dietary product with 17% fat content.
What's good about mozzarella? This young, tender cheese goes well with almost all vegetables, herbs and even berries. Like any natural cheese, mozzarella is rich in phosphorus and calcium, contains easily digestible protein and healthy fatty acids. However, it is worth noting that mozzarella is not a source of beneficial lactic acid bacteria: milk for it is fermented using rennet enzymes, without additional microflora.
! Natural mozzarella has a very short shelf life - 5-7 days.
If the label indicates an expiration date of more than a week, preservatives have definitely been added to such mozzarella.
Products for 5 days
To lose weight on the “Five Processed Cheese” diet, you need to buy products from the list below and distribute them evenly over 5 days. It is recommended to eat food every 2 hours so as not to experience an acute feeling of hunger; the last meal is 1.5–2 hours before bedtime. During breaks, you can drink an unlimited amount of still drinking water, green, black and herbal tea without cream and sugar, and rosehip decoction.
Product list for 5 days
- 5 processed cheeses;
- 5 eggs;
- 5 large fresh tomatoes;
- 5 large apples;
- 5 bell peppers or cucumbers;
- 1 kg of cottage cheese with 5% fat content;
- 1 liter of kefir with a fat content of 3.2%;
- a large bunch of fresh herbs.
Important: processed cheese can be replaced with others, for example, Adyghe or Suluguni, but the weight of the piece should not exceed the weight of one block of processed cheese. It is also necessary to choose and buy a quality product.
How to choose a good processed cheese?
Before purchasing, you need to carefully study the label. The correct name of the product is “processed cheese”, in no case “cheese product” or other “analogues”. The composition should not contain flavors or dyes, production - in accordance with GOST. The packaging must be undamaged and the information on the label must be legible.
High-quality processed cheese has a uniform consistency, delicate cream color and a pleasant creamy aroma. The product does not have a pronounced taste or smell (if the opposite is observed, most likely, synthetic flavors were used during production). If there is mold or an unpleasant odor, the product should not be used. Store open packaging only in the refrigerator, after wrapping the cheese in parchment or cling film.
Adyghe cheese – 240 kcal, fat content – 14%, proteins – 19 g
Next in line is Adyghe cheese. In my opinion, this is an ideal option for breakfast. The previous two options are more likely associated with afternoon tea or five o'clock tea - this is more of a light snack. It’s easy to start your day with Adyghe. It, unlike mozzarella, is produced by introducing lactic acid bacteria into pasteurized milk. At the same time, the taste is almost the same as its Italian counterpart.
Adyghe cheese is an integral part of the diet not only of patients following diet No. 5, but also of everyone losing weight. It contains only 14% fat, 19 grams of protein and no carbohydrates at all.
Menu for 5 days
- 1 meal: 1 processed cheese, tea or coffee without sugar;
- Meal 2: boiled egg with tomato and herbs;
- Meal 3: apple;
- Meal 4: 200 g cottage cheese, bell pepper with herbs;
- 5th meal: 200 ml kefir;
- Meal 6: tea with lemon and ginger.
Total: no more than 888 kcal per day. This is enough for weight loss in a comfortable mode without fasting and training. All 5 days the food is the same.
Ricotta – 172 kcal, fat content from 8 to 24%, proteins – 11 g
Our rating of the lowest-fat cheeses is headed by Italian - ricotta. It's often called cheese, but let's be honest, it's more like cottage cheese. Ricotta is made from whey that remains after preparing other cheeses - mozzarella, for example. It does not contain ordinary milk proteins, only albumin protein, which is present in human blood (therefore its absorption occurs faster and easier).
What cannot be taken away from ricotta are useful microelements, vitamins and calcium. Cheese made from cow's milk has a lower fat content - 8% (for comparison, cheese from goat's milk - up to 24%).
! The soft variety of ricotta has a shelf life of no more than 3 days, while hard ricotta can be stored for up to two weeks.
Diet 5 cheerful processed cheeses
The whole TRUTH about how I sat on processed cheese! details inside......
Good day to all! 10 months ago I became the happiest woman - my son was born! I gained a lot of weight from 61 kg to 72,500 kg. This doesn't make me happy. After wandering around on my favorite website, I deliriously went on a diet of 5 funny cheeses.
Here is the diet for this diet: 5 cheerful cheeses: 10.00 coffee without sugar and processed cheese; 12.00 tomato, egg and greens; 14.00 one apple; 16.00 200 g. cottage cheese and cucumber; 20.00 glass of white wine.
my review:
Many sources write that to get results you need to keep a food diary. I decided to do it here. So, ladies and gentlemen, I will write everything that happens to me live! I weigh myself in the morning! I make notes here the next day...
I’m posting a photo of how I looked at the beginning of the diet! We'll see what happens next.
1 day 72,500 I do everything according to the standard. The only thing I didn’t risk was cottage cheese with cucumber; I ate an egg + cucumber, but didn’t eat a tomato that day. By the evening I was REALLY hungry and I snapped... I ate fried potatoes with mushrooms. Sorry......starting again.
Day 2 72,300 Since I am a young mother, I can’t eat on time. I write how I eat food. And having concluded from the first day, I swap the products. At the end, I REALLY want to eat, and cottage cheese at the end of the day did not suit me.
7.30 coffee without sugar + 3 small processed cream cheese PRESIDENT. 12.20 Cottage cheese Slavia. But not 200 grams, that’s a lot for me, but 100 grams. 14.40 Half an apple. I cut him. I create the illusion that there is a lot of it 16.15 Boiled egg + cucumber, tomato salad, a little salt. 21.20 Put the baby to bed. A glass of wine + half an apple. During the day I drink green tea without sugar and water!
Day 3 71 kg I do everything as in the second day, only the egg is not boiled, but fried in a drop of olive oil. And I don't eat tomatoes. Only cucumber. Meal time is approximately the same +- 30 minutes.
Day 4 70 450 The day passed as usual. Only a boiled egg. And without wine, since I spent the night without my husband, I was afraid that I wouldn’t hear my son at night. Saw green tea.
Day 5 69 800 The climax day has arrived. Eating as usual. And the same products. True, I didn’t eat a tomato. He didn’t enter, for some reason, not one of the receptions.
Day 6 68,500 Well, 5 days have passed. The diet really works. I'm adding a photo. Here I am after a 5-day diet. It really works. I will periodically control myself with the help of 5 cheeses
conclusion
My result is 4 kg. The diet really does work. We can say that it is not a hunger strike. It is varied - there are lactic acid products and fiber, and raw vegetables and fruits. I will recommend this diet and stick to it in the future. Perhaps I’ll just introduce soups, since eating hot food is very important for the proper functioning of the stomach.
Thank you for visiting me! I wish EVERYONE to achieve the desired results. But remember the main thing is health! Good luck to you!
Tofu – 72-90 kcal, fat content up to 5%, proteins – 8 g
I’ll also say something about soybean cheese – tofu. Yes, it has the lowest fat content among all the cheeses I have listed and should be in first place, but there is one “but”: tofu promotes excessive gas formation, and therefore in case of gastrointestinal diseases you need to eat it in very limited quantities.
For the rest of the tofu there is no price. It is an antioxidant that removes dioxin, which causes cancer, from the body, and also reduces the level of “bad cholesterol”. At the same time, tofu is not just a dietary product, but a super dietary product: calorie content - 73 kcal, proteins - 8 g, fats - 4.5 g, carbohydrates - 0.8 g. So occasionally, for variety, you can indulge in tofu. Adding it to salads is a nice thing, I tell you.
To summarize: Adyghe cheese and ricotta fit best into the criteria of the fifth diet. They are not salty, not fatty, do not contain much protein and are great for breakfast. Just what the doctor ordered. Just don’t forget to count calories every day (it’s easier to do this with our calculator) and take hepatoprotectors. Like diet, it is an integral part of a liver recovery program.
Recommendations and contraindications
Eggs are recommended boiled, but they can also be cooked in a non-stick frying pan without oil. Vegetables can be eaten raw individually or prepared into a salad seasoned with a drop of olive oil. To keep the cottage cheese from being dry, you can add a spoonful of honey or white yogurt for taste.
It is better to postpone intense training during the diet. During this period, the following are suitable for you: swimming and yoga, Pilates, long walks or bike rides, skating and skiing.
To prevent the lost pounds from returning, it is recommended to eat moderately in the next 2 weeks. During this period, it is recommended to avoid fried and fried foods, fast food, snacks, flour and baked goods, large amounts of sweets and store-bought sauces, smoked meats and pickles.
Contraindications: liver and kidney dysfunction, diabetes, pregnancy and lactation. The diet is also not useful for teenagers and older people, women and men during periods of intense mental and physical stress.
Is it possible to lose weight
People often doubt whether it is possible to lose weight on cheese, because most varieties have a high calorie content and a high percentage of fat. Nutritionists believe that it is possible to lose weight on cheese. Its composition does not interfere with getting rid of extra pounds. The cornerstone of the problem becomes the portion size allowed in a dietary diet. It is believed that in one meal you can eat a couple of slices with a total weight of 50-60 g. This snack contains up to 100 kcal, which is quite suitable for dietary nutrition.
Quick diet with cottage cheese and cheese
On a note. Nutritionists recommend paying special attention to low-calorie varieties with a high protein content.
Benefits of cheese for weight loss:
- Reduces the production of cortisol, the stress hormone. High levels of this hormone lead to emotional eating;
- Improves cellular metabolism, blood circulation;
- Charges with energy, gives strength;
- Enriches the body with calcium, protein, vitamins A, B12, C, E, D;
- Normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
- Removes toxins and impurities.
Important! Cheese contains linoleic acid, which converts fat deposits into energy.
With all the advantages, it is worth noting that cheese should be considered a delicacy in the diet. The maximum fat content is 20%. The optimal protein content is 30 g. In addition, you should not eat salty varieties, as salt retains water in the body, which causes swelling. Also, pickle varieties are strictly contraindicated for people with urolithiasis.
Processed cheese: what does it contain and is it useful during a diet?
In order for our body to absorb amino acids from an animal molecule, it must first be disassembled, then the necessary substance must be obtained, and only then it must begin to build its own molecule. Can you imagine what a long and illogical process it is? The remaining substances simply rot inside the body, releasing cadaveric poison. What immediately catches your eye is the fairly high cholesterol content, which is one of the main enemies of a person losing weight. You should also pay attention to starch, which is known to increase insulin levels in the blood.
What conclusion can be drawn based on the information provided? It is high in calories, harmful, and difficult to digest. All substances that could somehow interact with our body are killed during industrial processing. They should not be offered to children, as they contain harmful fats, salts and other foreign components. I note that this opinion was published on a full-fledged online publication; I will not mention the name. It is not customary to consume it in high strata of society, as it is believed to be hazardous to health.
Our caterers know firsthand that processed cheese is an expired cheese or cheese product processed in production, with the addition of other equally dangerous ingredients. And when the resulting mixture does not suit the taste, the processed cheese is also smoked in order to completely kill the taste.
TV advertisements convince us that eating these dairy products is healthy. It is also fashionable today to say that they help get rid of excess weight. Glazed cheese curd can hardly be called a real dairy product. If you go to a supermarket and read its ingredients, you may be truly horrified. Today, its composition is more reminiscent of a chemical laboratory than a healthy ingredient.
The glazed shell is usually made from chocolate with low quality fats, which a priori contains a lot of sugar. As I mentioned above, the product was first produced in Switzerland. The start of production dates back to the year.
The presence of calcium and protein is one of the benefits of any type of cheese, although it is often excluded from weight loss plans because the concentration of fat and calories does not contribute to achieving a negative caloric balance. Therefore, many people believe that cheese should not be consumed during a diet. The truth is that this food is a constant in any appetizer worth its salt, because when hunger strikes, people would rather kill a worm with a piece of Parmesan. So, let's figure out whether you can eat cheese while losing weight.
Two famous scientists Fritz Stettler and Walter Gerber, who worked for the Ministry of Defense, came up with a way to reduce production costs while increasing the company's profits.
During the First World War, James received the first major order for his patent. It was necessary to supply food to feed the entire French army. The main criterion was shelf life, so no one could vouch for the quality. This is still the case today. The consequence of an excessively low calorie diet is a slowdown in metabolism, so the return of lost kilograms after completing the diet is almost inevitable.
A poor diet can lead to deterioration of intestinal function; the diet is often accompanied by constipation. The classic diet with white wine is contraindicated for those who have had or have problems with alcohol.
Cheese is a product that can be both an enemy and a friend of a good figure. However, to the question is it possible to eat cheese while losing weight, the answer is unequivocal - yes! You just need to choose a low-fat product and regulate its quantity. For example, eat a sandwich for breakfast. This will give the body the necessary protein - the building material for muscles.
Consequently, the second controversial aspect of the diet is its composition. You can eat these varieties in the morning, afternoon and evening without fear of gaining weight. List of foods that you should not eat when losing weight What can you eat at night when losing weight, what foods can you eat pita bread when losing weight instead of bread, calorie content and types. There is little fat in feta cheese, but a lot of protein, as well as easily digestible calcium, vitamins C, E, B 1, B 2 and useful minerals.
