Anna Johansson, a Swedish nutritionist, is the author of the 6 petal diet. So far, the six-petal diet has positive reviews. It is used by many European women who have successfully lost weight. According to statistics, up to 800 g are lost per day, depending on the starting weight.
The author of the diet brings to our attention a diet that is based on the principle of mono-diet. A certain product is provided for each day, while the days should clearly be one after the other, as prescribed in the principles of this weight loss method. Anna claims that by alternating mono-diets for 6 days, you can achieve the desired results in no time.
In addition, the author of the diet took into account the psychological side of people who lose weight. She suggested depicting the diet's principles in the form of a colorful flower with six petals. To do this, you need to cut a flower with six petals, assign a color to each petal and write the following: fish, vegetables, chicken, cereal, cottage cheese and fruit. In the same order, a diet of 6 petals must be followed and, at the same time, at the end of each day, a petal with the appropriate name must be cut. So you can psychologically prepare yourself for the fact that the day was successful and willpower overcame temptations.
