It is important to follow certain rules for taking buckwheat with kefir.

• Starting the day with the consumption of this dish will be a great habit for the body, because with this porridge you can activate and start all metabolic processes in the morning.
• Properly prepare a dietary product is very important. That is why nutritionists always calculate individual doses of cereals and kefir for each patient.
• Choose quality products. For example, it is better not to use buckwheat fast food, since it has undergone heat treatment and has lost many useful and necessary properties.
• Before cooking, grits should be filled with cool water for 2 minutes so that foreign impurities float to the surface of the liquid.
• Kefir must be taken either fat free, or 1-2%. It is important to remember that one of the goals of the diet is to limit fat.

Do not forget that any diet has a certain period. As cleaning procedures can disrupt metabolic and digestive processes. Buckwheat with kefir is usually consumed in several courses, between which the gastrointestinal tract “rests” from cleansing. For a start, buckwheat with kefir can be consumed for 5 days followed by a break of 3-4 days. After that, the course can be increased to 7 days, and a break to make 10 days.

• If you are planning to dine with buckwheat and kefir, then you need to boil 1 cup of cereal in boiling water for about 10 minutes. Then drain the water, cool porridge and pour a glass of kefir.
• If you have a sweet tooth and the taste of buckwheat with kefir, you are not very happy, adding berries, dried fruits or spices, which also have a beneficial effect on metabolic processes and will delight your taste buds, is welcome.
