Principles and rules of the 6 petals diet
The diet is based on three principles:
- Alternating proteins and carbohydrates.
Protein days must alternate with carbohydrate days. It is this principle that allows you to effectively lose weight and not harm your health. Protein stages: day 1, day 3 and day 5. Carbohydrate stages: day 2, day 4, day 6. Fat will begin to disappear due to carbohydrate starvation on protein days, but a deficiency in glucose the body will not experience it, since they are replaced by carbohydrate days. Fats are also present on the menu. They are represented by cottage cheese, fish and meat components. Therefore, the diet menu can be called balanced.
- Every day one mono-diet replaces another.
Since a person eats foods that have the same chemical composition throughout the whole day, this allows him to lose weight.
- The principle of separate nutrition.
All products are compatible with each other. If you do not follow this principle, the speed of digestion will be reduced. Fats, carbohydrates and proteins that enter the body at the same time will not be able to be digested, which will lead to the accumulation of fat. Therefore, the principle of separate meals during a diet is fundamental.
The 6 petals diet requires compliance with the following rules:
- The days should go in the suggested sequence: fish, vegetable, chicken, cereal, curd, fruit.
- You need to eat food in small portions, but not less than 5 times a day. Before swallowing, food should be chewed thoroughly.
- You need to drink a lot of water. Up to 2 cups of tea per day are also allowed. Alcoholic drinks are prohibited. Do not drink water during meals.
- Sugar should be excluded from the menu.
- A week after the diet, it can be repeated.
- While dieting, you need to exercise.
We lose weight while playing
Turn meals into a ritual: set the table, eat without a book or TV. Chew your food thoroughly, slowly and thoughtfully. Imagine that your beloved man is sitting in front of you! And if he sits, you must try even more so that the diet does not go in vain.
To make losing extra pounds more fun, we suggest introducing elements of play and positive psychology into it. Attach a paper flower of 5 petals with the names of the main product in a visible place, or better yet, on the refrigerator. After the next diet day, tear off the corresponding leaf. This is a great motivator (together with the “BEFORE and AFTER” photos) and also clearly demonstrates progress.
Don't forget to weigh yourself in the morning and evening of every day; these results can be recorded on the petals. In the final, you will be left with a core circle, where you will put a number - the number of kilograms that managed to say “goodbye”.
Sequence of days of the 6 petals diet
The menu is based on 6 mono-diets. Sugar and fats, including honey, are removed from the diet. Giving up sweets allows you to start the process of losing weight, while the body will draw energy from fat reserves. There is no shortage of complete proteins or carbohydrates on the menu. All products are combined with each other, so the weight comes off as quickly as possible.
1 day
The first day is a fish day. The menu allows you to saturate your body with proteins, as well as Omega-3 fatty acids. The products are low in calories and are easily digestible. The liver does not experience stress and works as usual.
The average serving weight is 150 g.
Products for fish day:
- Fatty fish: mackerel, herring, eel, salmon, pink salmon, carp, horse mackerel, sea bass, halibut.
- Dietary fish: pike perch, trout, hake, cod, flounder, tilapia, tuna, pike perch, river perch, pike.
- Other seafood: shrimp, squid, octopus, seaweed, mussels.
Day 2
The second day is vegetable day. It involves eating vegetables, which are sources of complex carbohydrates and vitamins. They eat up to 2 kg of vegetables per day.
Foods that can be eaten:
- Any varieties of cabbage.
- Root vegetables: carrots, radishes, turnips, radishes, beets. You can eat potatoes, but the portion should be small.
- Salad vegetables: spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, asparagus.
- Other vegetables: pumpkin, zucchini, eggplant, sorrel.
- Greens: onions, dill, garlic, cilantro, parsley, etc.
The calorie content of vegetables is small, and often it is completely “negative”, that is, the body spends more energy on digesting the product than it receives. For example, this is true for cucumbers, whose calorie content is 15 kcal per 100 g.
Day 3
The third day of the diet is chicken. At this time, the body receives an impressive portion of proteins and B vitamins, which helps prevent muscle burning during the weight loss process. Energy will be drawn from fat.
Products that are acceptable on this day: chicken breast, chicken fillet. If there are any difficulties associated with eating chicken, it can be replaced with turkey. Lean cuts of beef or veal also work well. You need to eat 0.5 kg of meat products per day.
4 day
The fourth day of the diet is cereal. On this day, the body receives a complex of vitamins and microelements, as well as vegetable proteins. Carbohydrates contained in cereals are digested slowly, which allows you to not feel hungry for a long time, and also continue to lose weight.
Foods that can be eaten during the fourth day of the diet:
- Bran.
- Cereals: pearl barley, oatmeal, couscous, millet, buckwheat, rice.
- Raw seeds, fresh nuts.
- Bread.
In their raw form, the total daily intake of cereals is equal to 200 grams. To prevent overeating, you need to use household scales.
5 day
The fifth day of the diet is cottage cheese. On this day, the body is saturated with lactic acid bacteria, amino acids, and microelements. Fats continue to be used as the main source of energy.
Foods that can be eaten on this day:
- Low-fat cheese (fat content of the product should not exceed 5%);
- Such types of cheese as: ricotta, feta cheese, chechil, oltermani, feta, gaudette;
- Cottage cheese in grains;
- Eggs;
- Milk.
The total weight of all products per day is 0.5 kg.
Day 6
The last day of the diet involves eating fruit. Their total daily weight is 1-1.5 kg. The menu for this day is designed to speed up metabolism and saturate the body with vitamins.
Fruits that can be eaten:
- Apple, pomegranate, kiwi, pear.
- Berries: watermelons, cherries, plums, raspberries, cherries, strawberries, cranberries, wild strawberries, currants, plums.
- Dried fruits.
You won’t have to starve on a diet, but the process of losing weight will be very intense.
Water should be the main source of fluid during the diet. You need to drink at least 2 liters per day. You can also drink green tea and herbal infusions, but do not add sugar to them. You need to forget about carbonated drinks.

Harm or benefit?
According to the author of the diet, the effectiveness and safety of such a diet lies in the strict alternation of protein and carbohydrate foods, based on the physiological characteristics of the human body. But many doctors say that depleting the diet of some nutrients and replacing them with others causes the body to experience metabolic stress, causing bowel problems, headaches, weakness, and vomiting. Therefore, this tactic is strictly prohibited for people with problems with the liver, kidneys or gastrointestinal tract. In this case, consulting a doctor is a mandatory procedure, since if there are contraindications, you need to choose another option for losing weight.

Expert's conclusion
It would seem that we can only rejoice and start recommending this next “miracle way to lose weight” to everyone. But we know too well that, firstly, any diet must be prescribed by a specialist, taking into account the individual data of each patient; and, secondly, that weight loss as a result of any diets is not for long. Temporarily. Even for a short time. This is because physical dietary restrictions can only be a means of losing weight, but cannot be a means of keeping it normal.
To summarize all of the above, let us recall the old wisdom of professional fighters against obesity: “excess weight is in the head.” No diet changes the patient’s eating habits, does not form the right attitude towards food and cannot last forever. This means that soon after leaving it, a person will be doomed to look for more and more new ways to get rid of the extra pounds that are gaining. Lucky are those who meet a weight loss psychotherapist on their difficult path. For it is psychotherapeutic techniques that bring the patient, exhausted by diets and hunger strikes, the long-awaited stability of weight loss results, health, beauty and confidence in the future. This is a fact of life, confirmed by statistics.
Contraindications
Contraindications to the 6 petals diet:
- Chronic diseases of the digestive system.
- Undergoing treatment with hormonal drugs.
- Diabetes.
- Undergoing chemotherapy.
- Low level of hemoglobin in the blood.
- The period of bearing a child and breastfeeding.

Reviews and results
Elizaveta Sergeevna, nutritionist:
“I do not consider the 6 Petal Diet to be a nutrition program that could be harmful to health. But you can’t stick to it more than 3 times a year. If you do not observe such frequency, you can provoke the development of gastritis or stomach ulcers, reduce your own performance, and more.”
Tatyana Vladimirovna, nutritionist:
“Any diet has its contraindications and may not be suitable for a particular person. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the body. Therefore, before starting the weight loss process, I strongly recommend consulting a specialist.”
Ekaterina Anatolyevna, therapist:
“For kidney pathologies and diseases of the cardiovascular system, any mono-diets are prohibited. Thus, protein days can provoke an exacerbation of diseases of the urinary system, and carbohydrate days will cause a jump in blood sugar. “I believe that if a diet can harm the body, it cannot be called safe.”
Venera Vasilievna, nutritionist:
“Although I am not a supporter of mono-diets, I can call the “6 Petals” weight loss program one of the most balanced. However, just proper nutrition and regular exercise will allow you to lose weight no worse than any, even the most wonderful diets. If you have decided to lose weight with the help of “6 petals,” then you should follow the rules for leaving the diet, gradually switching to your usual diet.”
Mechanism of action
As already mentioned, the essence of the diet is to alternate between protein and carbohydrate days. Skeletal muscles receive sufficient amounts of protein and therefore continue to function normally. Protein prevents the breakdown of muscle tissue, which improves your ability to exercise. Physical activity, in turn, increases energy costs.
A person observes carbohydrate days, but the glucose received is still not enough. The calorie content of the diet is low, which contributes to a deterioration in well-being and decreased performance. To compensate for energy costs, the body begins to consume internal reserves.
First, glucose, useful substances from the blood that come with food, is consumed. Next, the breakdown of liver glycogen begins, which was planned to create new fat cells. At a critical time, when the last reserves are depleted, the body has nothing left to do but destroy fat deposits around the organs and inside the subcutaneous tissue.
Carbohydrate days of the diet contain a diet rich in plant products. Dietary fiber from such food is not completely digested in the small intestine, so passing through it, they cleanse the tract of toxins and harmful substances.
Carbohydrates are simple and complex. The latter are digested slowly, so once they enter the stomach, the fiber begins to absorb liquid. The fibers swell, occupying all available space. Thanks to this, a person feels full for a long time. It turns out that the amount of food consumed is significantly reduced.
