The 6-petal diet is a complex combination of a variety of daily mono diets. An unusual, bright and "floral" nutrition system, developed by Swedish nutritionist Anna Johansson, is designed to help not only lose excess weight, but also create a pleasant and positive atmosphere and excellent emotional mood while losing weight . The magical "six-color flower", according to the plan of the author of the diet, with multi-colored petals and the inscriptions of the days of the allowed product, symbolizes the desire, dreams and aspirations to lose weight.
Description of the diet
Monotonous monodiets, which last for many weeks, or even months, lead to exhaustion due to a lack of minerals, nutrients, vitamins. Adding to this physical activity, the slimming feels that the only desire is not good mood = good health, but a wild desire to assume a horizontal position and. . . sleep, lie down, sleep again. The essence of the one-component "6 petals" weight loss method distinguishes it among others:
- perfectly balanced alternation of mono menu petals: protein and carbohydrate dishes, foods with a small portion of healthy amino acids and unsaturated fats;
- psychological support and emotional release of color by creating your own "slimming flower" with petals for a 6-day diet. Tearing off a petal at the end of the day, you assert yourself, rejoicing in the results of weight loss;
- After receiving positive reviews from nutritionists, the six-petal diet lasts less than a week, and the recommended repeat rate is no more than 1 time per month.
Combined into a single nutritional system, one-component diets are most effective during the first few days of use. The 6-petal diet is based on the principle of replacing protein days with carbohydrates, when the body does not have time to reorganize itself to accumulate a certain type of food "for hard times", spending the energy gained from food or wasting previously accumulated reserves of subcutaneous fat.
The sequence of the petals of the mono diet was not chosen by chance: by enriching the body with fatty amino acids through the fish menu, the next day the glucose reserves are replenished with vegetable delicacies. Chicken meat will maintain muscle tone, carbohydrates from cereals will normalize the energy balance. Cottage cheese from the next petal of the diet will restore mineral reserves, and fruit delicacies will start metabolic processes.
The sequence of the petals of the alternating diet is calculated for 6 days:
- Fish petal.Choose your favorite fish. Ready weight - 300-500 grams. Fish soup or fish jelly is allowed.
- vegetable petal. . . All vegetables, without exception, are allowed, regardless of the starch content.
- Chicken petal. . . For a diet, skinless chicken fillet is suitable, with a total mass of half a kilo of the finished product at the exit. The use of broth or soup with herbs and chicken is allowed.
- Petal of cereals. . . The low glycemic index of cereals gives a feeling of fullness, stimulating digestion. Bran is useful. It is good to add flax seeds, sesame seeds, 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. . . Saturates the body with the necessary sugars and carbohydrates.
Basic rules of 6 petals
In order for the effectiveness of the petal diet to fully unfold and you have successfully lost 2-3 kg in 6 days (petals), follow the rules of the weight loss method:

Detailed menu for every day
The "6 Petals" sample menu includes a mono diet with natural spice additives for dishes, a small amount of salt and a drop of vegetable oil. The alternation of protein and carbohydrate diet days helps the body to effectively burn both the calories consumed from food and the excess fat "stored" on the waist, belly and buttocks.
Fish petal (the first in a 6-day diet series) involves consuming no more than 500g of fish. Hake or cod in the form of steamed meatballs are perfect for breakfast. You can cook fish soup with pieces of fresh zander and dill for lunch. Grilled or baked fish is the perfect end to the day.
For a petal of vegetables, the second of a series of 6 days of mono diet, an indicative menu is as follows: breakfast - fresh vegetable salad, coffee; snack - vegetable smoothie (pepper, tomatoes, a sprig of parsley, celery); soup for lunch; for dinner - a stew with herbs and mushrooms.
Start the 6-petal chicken diet with a lightly seasoned meat mousse and a cup of green tea. For lunch - broth and dinner "diversify" the grilled chicken breast.
The breakfast of the fourth, petal cereal of the diet for 6 days includes oatmeal, steamed in the evening, rosehip broth. Eat bran tortillas for lunch. In the evening, for dinner, serve the Greeks or regular buckwheat porridge.
Get ready to tear cottage cheese, the fifth petal of the diet, by making a casserole with cottage cheese and kefir for breakfast. Lunch - dessert with vanilla and cinnamon. Dinner: steamed cheesecake, tea. The total volume of cottage cheese is 500 g per day.
The fruit-based breakfast of the last, sixth petal of the diet begins with a fruit salad. Fresh fruit retains the maximum amount of nutrients, so eat a choice (no more than 1. 5 kg) of watermelons, berries, kiwis, citrus, pears, peaches all day. For dinner, make baked apples with pumpkin and cinnamon.

The one-component composition of the dishes of each petal will not get bored if you do not cook an ordinary boiled fish or a whole breast for a couple, but, showing imagination, you make a culinary masterpiece based on a product.

Reviews of nutritionists
Nutritionist: The 6-petal diet is an option for those who want to lose a couple of kilograms on the eve of an important event or holiday without strong restrictions, fasting. Perfect for busy ladies due to the simplicity of the menu, the availability of products and the duration of preparation. And, nevertheless, the low calorie content of the allowed portions, the lack of carbohydrates on protein days can cause a headache, lethargy. To remove the limiting factors, I recommend taking vitamin complexes enriched with trace elements.
Nutritionist: I am not a proponent of mono diets. A sensible combination of healthy eating and physical activity, believe me, works no less wonders than the hugely popular kefir and apple diets. Nutrition according to the 6-petal system is one of the balanced for existing weight loss programs. If you choose this weight loss option, try to stick to the nutritional guidelines at the end of the diet.
Reviews of those who have lost weight
Woman, 32 years old: Amato invited me to go and rest in the sea. I decided to get back in perfect shape, but the rush to work left no time for the gym and swimming pool. A friend recommended a 6 day diet with the funny name "6 petals". For a week I threw off 3 kg 200 g, and the main weight loss fell on Friday and Sunday - fasting day. Happy with the result! And on the beach, not only my beloved peeked at me!
Girl, 20: I bought a nice dress for the new year, but somehow it doesn't fit. The girls in the group talked about the 6-petal diet, where you can only eat one type of food per day. I drew a flower and admired it. At 56 kg I wanted to drop the promised three, but it turned out 1. 8 kg! I was angry. But when I tried on the dress, it turned out that the weight went where it was needed: on the sides and on the bottom. Now I know a way to lose weight fast!
Woman, 29: The 6-petal diet is not mine. I have never been so hungry: either this diet is not suitable, or I eat a lot. I lost kilos (it took 2. 8kg), but by Sunday I was ready to eat anything and everything. I was looking forward to the weekend to plan a vacation. After 2 weeks, my missing kgs returned, even though I adhered to the correct diet and did not eat large portions.
