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, depending on the initial weight, up to 800 g per day are lost.
The author of the diet draws our attention to a diet based on the principle of mono-dieting. A specific product is provided for each day, and the days should follow each other clearly, 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 a short time.
In addition, the author of the diet took into account the psychological side of losing weight. She suggested depicting the principles of nutrition in the form of a multicolored 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 them: fish, vegetables, chicken, cereal, cottage cheese and fruit. In the same order, a diet of 6 petals should be observed, and at the same time, at the end of each day, one petal with the appropriate name must be cut off. So you can psychologically adjust to the fact that the day was successful and the willpower overcame the temptations.
