The beauties from advertising convince us that losing weight in 2 weeks is simple, just purchase the Fitness 14 Days cereal and eat them for breakfast. Is the advertising slogan true? Let's try to figure it out.
First of all, find out the composition of the flakes themselves. There is a sufficient amount of carbohydrates (including sugar), and preservatives, and flavor enhancers. That is, a priori healthy such food can not be called. Regular corn or oatmeal porridge on the water will be much cheaper and more beneficial, but the result is the same. But the Nestle company strongly encourages the public to sit on it’s developed cereal-based diet.
Diet. Flakes "Fitness 14 days"
Breakfast: 8 tablespoons of cereal pour skim milk. It is also allowed to eat 1 fruit, drink coffee or green tea.
Lunch: 2 low-calorie fruits, kefir or yogurt, tea.
Lunch: fresh vegetable salad, meat or fish, broth, coffee.
Snack: fruit, cottage cheese or yogurt, cereal bread, tea.
Dinner: similar to breakfast without adding fruit.
As you can see, the nutrition is quite balanced, the diet is not the most strict. If you are not an athlete or a builder, then this charge of energy is more than enough for a day. You definitely won’t starve, especially in the summer. Keeping on this diet for 2 weeks is also easy, but will it be effective? According to experts, only people with a BMI of more than 30, that is, those who are obese, will get rid of extra pounds. If your weight is normal, then you will be able to lose a maximum of 2 kilograms during these weeks. The calorie content of the flakes themselves is by no means low. They have a lot of sugar and carbohydrates, which makes us think about the effectiveness of the event. In addition, the cost of cereals does not live up to expectations, because 100 rubles for a small pack is quite a lot compared to the fact that a kilogram of groats costs about 50 rubles.
But Fitness flakes also have advantages. For example, the speed of cooking. If you do not have time for a full breakfast, 5 minutes - and you're done. A rich start to the day will allow you to stock up on energy until lunch. In addition, “Fitness” cereals have different tastes, which means that all your breakfasts and dinners will be varied, despite the diet. Children also love Nestle products, so dieting for 2 weeks is possible in a fun company.
Adhering to a diet based on Fitness flakes, or not, is your choice, but be aware that these 2 weeks can be saturated with much more wholesome and varied food than this one. For example, muesli or the same oatmeal with honey have a more extensive complex of vitamins and lower calorie content. Want to lose weight? Eat rye as well as buckwheat flakes. Wheat and corn have a higher glycemic index. Dried fruits, nuts, cereals, bran - all this is not only very tasty, but also healthy. By the way, muesli can be prepared independently. And how many recipes for culinary products with bran and cereals exist! Diversify your diet, create your own menu, which includes a sufficient amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
There is an active discussion on the Internet about how useful and effective Fitness flakes are. Testimonials of those who tested this diet on themselves are ambiguous. Some argue loudly that all this is a publicity stunt and it is impossible to lose weight over 14 days, others are surprised at the stunning result and ease in the body, others are skeptical of such experiments and prefer to abstain. To summarize, we can say that a cereal diet is not the most effective and interesting way to lose weight, but if you don’t have time to prepare breakfast, and you want to diversify the usual menu, then sometimes try to eat cereal. In limited quantities, they definitely will not hurt you.
