Diet for hemorrhoids. Is there a need for it?

General rules

Buckwheat and apples are rich primarily in iron - the most important microelement for the human body, which is involved in the processes of hematopoiesis and is part of the hemoglobin and more than 20 known enzymes . It is involved in the processes of cellular respiration and carbon dioxide removal, the first line of defense against anemia , maintaining redox balance and, as a result, preventing cancer processes.
The daily requirement for an adult is at least 10-30 mg (this is at least 100 g of buckwheat and 2-3 red ripe apples). In addition, the combination of apples with buckwheat guarantees saturation with nutrients and vitamins , strengthening the immune system and cleansing the body of toxins .

But in addition to the health benefits, buckwheat and apples turned out to be very effective for weight loss. In just a week of mono-diet - 1 glass of soaked buckwheat and 2-3 apples you can lose 3-4 kg. Lenten and ascetic menus may have slight differences, which are the varieties of the buckwheat-apple diet.

Attention!

Doctors do not recommend following the buckwheat-apple diet for more than 2 weeks and you must ensure that weight loss does not exceed 10 kg. Success can be repeated no earlier than six months later.

What foods should you avoid?

The first thing you should give up during a diet is salt. Its absence will contribute to better removal of fluid from the body, which, in turn, will speed up weight loss. The ban, accordingly, also applies to salted and pickled foods. The next prohibited product is sugar.

Once in the body, it is converted into glucose, from which fat is synthesized and stored in cells. You need to forget about sweet soda - it is not recommended to drink it, not only while on a diet, but in general. The “fizzy drink” contains a heavy dose of sugar, which will in no way contribute to weight loss. In addition, when soda enters the body, it provokes a large release of insulin into the blood, provoking a feeling of hunger. It is very important to avoid fried, fatty and smoked foods.

In addition to their high calorie content, they have an aroma that stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid in the body, which too quickly digests all food that enters the stomach. This increases the amount of substances absorbed. And finally, alcohol should be prohibited. Alcoholic drinks are quite high in calories, and they also put a lot of stress on the liver, which needs to work more actively. In this case, fat burning processes are less efficient.

Varieties

• Supplementing the menu with kefir - you can drink up to 0.5 liters of it per day, the main thing is that the fat content is 0% or 1%.
• The kefir version can also be more satisfying due to apples, when you are allowed to eat 100 g of buckwheat and not 2-3 apples, but a whole kilogram per day.
• The “delicious” buckwheat-apple method is distinguished by the ability to flavor buckwheat porridge with soy sauce, dried fruits, every other day with vegetable or butter, and bake apples with honey and cinnamon.
• Striped diet - you can alternate days on buckwheat and apples.

Authorized Products

As the name implies, this diet is based on buckwheat and apples. All the additions of kefir, vegetable oil and spices are just a way to make the task easier for people who cannot limit themselves to everything for two whole weeks. Regarding recommendations for preparing and choosing buckwheat and apples, you should remember:

• Buckwheat should be natural and of high quality, preferably not chopped, but kernels, which have undergone a minimum of processing, for example, roasting or grinding. Before cooking, you need to rinse it well and steam it overnight - pour boiling water over it, wrap the pan with a blanket and leave it in a warm place until the morning.
• Red varieties of apples are richer in iron, for example, sweet and sour varieties such as Idared, Jonathan, Melba are ideal. It is best to choose medium-sized, juicy, not crushed fruits from a domestic producer, because imported ones, although they look great, are most often grown artificially and treated against pests, for example, covered with paraffin.

How to cook buckwheat with apples for a diet

To prepare dishes for a diet based on buckwheat and apples, you can use numerous recipes posted on the Internet, or try experimenting on your own. An interesting fact is that buckwheat can be prepared without cooking. To do this, pour the cereal into a jar in the evening and fill it with water, and it is not at all necessary to take boiling water - it can be a liquid (water or low-fat milk), slightly heated to a temperature of no more than +20°C. By morning, the buckwheat will “cook itself” and become ready to eat. To diversify the taste, before pouring the cereal, you can add pieces of fresh or dried apple to it.

Cooking cereals without cooking will help save many useful substances that are destroyed by high heat treatment, but for variety you can stew buckwheat, steam it, or lightly fry it before cooking. For dietary nutrition, it is best to cook buckwheat without salt - thanks to the large amount of carbohydrates, it will guarantee a feeling of satiety. If you just can’t eat unsalted porridge, try adding a little soy sauce. It’s very useful to use 1% kefir during a diet - you can simply drink it as a stand-alone drink, or pour it over buckwheat.

Important! During the diet, you need to drink at least 1.5 liters of fluid per day to prevent dehydration.

Apples can be eaten in any form. If you're tired of raw fruits, try baking them in the oven or grilling them. It’s okay if once a week you allow yourself to add a little honey and cinnamon to the apples - you need to cut out the core of the fruit, fill it with honey-cinnamon additive and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. This greatly diversifies the flavor potential. You can simply grate the apple and leave it for 1-2 hours - this way the chopped fruit will darken and acquire a soft sweet taste. You can also squeeze healthy juice out of apples, which can also curb your appetite.
