Anna Johansson, a nutritionist in Sweden, is the author of the 6 petal diet. To date, 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 initial weight.
The author of the diet draws our attention to a diet based on the principle of mono-diet. A certain product is provided for each day, while the days must pass clearly one after another, as prescribed by the principles of this method of weight loss. Anna claims that by alternating mono-diets for 6 days, you can achieve the desired results in a short time.
In addition, the author of the diet took into account the psychological side of people losing weight. She suggested representing the principles of the diet 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 on it: fish, vegetable, chicken, cereal, cottage cheese and fruit. In the same order, a diet of 6 petals should be followed, and at the same time, at the end of each day, a petal with the appropriate name should be cut. So you can psychologically prepare for the fact that the day was successful and the willpower overcame the temptations.
