After all, kefir can be used as an assistant for losing weight and fighting excess weight. And tasty, healthy and effective is always the key to successful weight loss. Another additional plus of kefir is that it is absorbed much better than milk. Therefore, people who suffer from lactose intolerance and drink only kefir, this cocktail will help replenish the body with calcium.
When to enjoy kefir cocktails?
First of all, I note that it is impossible to eat only one cocktail for a long time. This drink will be beneficial if consumed within one fasting day a week. On ordinary days, it is advisable to drink it 15 minutes before the morning meal. This speeds up the work of digestion, so that food is better absorbed.
You can also drink a glass of the drink before meals during the day, which will “start” the work of the stomach, reduce the feeling of hunger, and, accordingly, the portions of food. These drinks also serve as a great alternative to a late dinner, because kefir is easily absorbed without leaving heaviness in the stomach.
