The 6-petalled diet is a complex combination of different daily mono-diets. The unusual, bright, "floral" diet system, developed by nutritionist Anna Johansson from Sweden, is designed to help not only lose excess weight, but also to create a pleasant, positive atmosphere and a great emotional mood during weight loss. The magical "six-colored flower", according to the author's plan, with colorful petals and the inscriptions of the day of the allowed product, symbolizes the desire, dreams and aspirations for weight loss.
Description of the child
Monotonous mono-diets, which have lasted for weeks and even months, lead to exhaustion due to lack of minerals, nutrients, vitamins. Adding to that physical activity, the loser feels that the only desire is not good mood = good health, but a wild desire to take a horizontal position and. . . sleep, lie down, sleep again. The essence of the one-component method of weight loss "6 petals" differs among others:
- optimally balanced change of mono menu petals: protein and carbohydrate dishes, foods low in healthy amino acids and unsaturated fats;
- psychological support and the color of emotional release by creating your own "flower for weight loss" with petals for 6 days diet. By tearing off the petal at the end of the day, you confirm yourself, rejoicing in the results of weight loss;
- Having received positive reviews from nutritionists, the six-petalled diet lasts less than a week, and the recommended recurrence rate is no more than once a month.
Combined into one diet system, one-component diets have the best efficiency during the first days of use. The 6-petalled diet is based on the principle of replacing protein days with carbohydrates, when the body does not have time to reorganize to accumulate a certain type of food "for hard times", while consuming energy obtained from food or consuming previously accumulated reserves of subcutaneous fat.
The order of petals mono diet is not randomly selected: enriching the body with fatty amino acids through the fish menu, the next day you replenish glucose reserves with plant delicacies. Chicken meat will maintain muscle tone, cereal carbohydrates will normalize energy balance. The fresh cheese of the next petal will restore the child's mineral reserves, and fruit delicacies will start metabolic processes.
The sequence of alternating child petals is calculated in 6 days:
- Fish petal.Choose the fish you love. Finished weight - 300-500 grams. Fish soup or fish jelly is allowed.
- Vegetable petals. . . All vegetables are allowed, without exception, regardless of the starch content.
- Chicken petal. . . For the diet is suitable chicken fillet without skin, with a total weight of half a kilogram of finished product at the exit. The use of broth or soup with herbs and chicken is allowed.
- Cereal petal. . . The low glycemic index of cereals gives a feeling of satiety, stimulating digestion. Bran is useful. It is good to add flax, sesame and sunflower seeds to the 6-petal diet menu.
- Curd petal. . . It saturates the body with calcium, and proteins maintain muscle tone, stimulating the consumption of fat reserves.
- Fruit petal. . . It saturates the body with the necessary sugars and carbohydrates.

Nutritionist reviews
Nutritionist: A diet with 6 petals is an option for those who want to lose a few pounds before an important event or holiday without strict restrictions, fasting. Perfect for busy young ladies due to the simplicity of the menu, the availability of products and the duration of preparation. And yet, low calorie content in the allowed portions, lack of carbohydrates on protein days can cause headaches, lethargy. To remove the limiting factors, I recommend taking vitamin complexes enriched with trace elements.
Nutritionist: I am not a supporter of the mono diet. A reasonable combination of a healthy diet and physical activity, believe me, does no less miracles than the super popular kefir and apple diet. The 6-petal diet is one of the balanced ones for existing weight loss programs. If you choose this weight loss option, try to follow the nutritional guidelines at the end of the diet.
Reviews of those who have lost weight
Woman, 32 years old: Beloved invited me to rest at sea. I decided to get in perfect shape, but the crowds at work did not leave time for the gym and pool. A friend advised a 6-day diet with the funny name "6 petals". In a week, I lost 3 kg 200 g, and the main weight loss fell on Friday and Sunday - the day of fasting. Satisfied with the result! And on the beach it wasn’t just my loved one peeking at me!
Girl, 20 years old: I bought a cool dress for the New Year, but somehow it fits me upside down. The girls in the group talked about the 6-petalled diet, where you can eat only one type of food a day. I drew a flower and admired it. With 56 kg I wanted to throw the promised three, but it turned out 1. 8 kg! I was upset. But when I tried on the dress, it turned out that the weight went where it was needed - on the sides and bottom. Now I know a way to lose weight fast!
Woman, 29: The 6-petalled diet is not mine. I’ve never been so hungry: either this diet isn’t appropriate, or I eat a lot. I lost weight (it took 2. 8 kg), but since Sunday I was ready to eat more and more. I could hardly wait for the weekend to arrange a vacation. After 2 weeks, my lost weight came back, although I followed a proper diet and did not eat in large portions.
