Expert opinion
Certified Dietitian. Work experience 5 years.
Nutritionist advice. Buckwheat belongs to slow carbohydrates and gives the body energy for a long time. Soup with buckwheat is quite high-calorie, but with all this it remains dietary, since it is not cooked in fatty broth. Boiled potatoes in its composition are not as harmful as, for example, fried ones, but still it should be used quite rarely. The best option would be to cook buckwheat soup with a lot of vegetables, and if desired, you can add raw or dried mushrooms.
This dish is ideal for breakfast or lunch, but it definitely needs to be supplemented. It can be whole grain bread, meat or fish dishes, vegetables.
Weight loss on buckwheat has its own characteristics. The product can be consumed in different forms: boiled, sprouted, baked, soaked in kefir. But the best option is to pour boiling water over it and leave it to languish.
There is a buckwheat diet for weight loss for 14 days, the menu for every day of which has its own differences and features. It all depends on the direction: rapid weight loss for weight loss or therapeutic weight loss for health improvement.
But in this case, we are talking about getting rid of unnecessary kg in a short time, respectively, the number of days for such a diet is 7.

Such a diet, with a properly selected menu, will allow you to lose a few kg in a week and improve your body. Excess weight goes away subject to all the rules described above.
You can follow a mono-diet, that is, eat only buckwheat, or you can add non-fat kefir or yogurt to buckwheat. I usually eat only buckwheat and drink water, my friend ate buckwheat and drank kefir.
Buckwheat should be consumed without salt, sugar, spices and oil. During the day, you also need to drink about 1.5 liters of water, but without gas.
To be honest, I tried to cook buckwheat for a diet in two ways, cook like porridge and “steam” with boiling water. I didn’t feel the difference, I still lost weight, only I like boiled buckwheat more, and it’s more familiar. I don’t know about anyone else, but my boiled buckwheat turns out to be a little damp, which I don’t like.
In the classic buckwheat diet, it must be poured with boiling water. A glass of sorted and washed buckwheat should be poured with boiling water, a glass of boiling water should be poured onto a glass of buckwheat.
I did this in a saucepan, covered the saucepan with a lid and wrapped it in a kitchen towel, left it overnight. Then you eat this buckwheat all day in small portions 4-5 times a day.
The last meal should be no later than 18 00 - 19 00 pm. That is, about 3 hours before bedtime, you don’t need to eat anything.
Perhaps this, of course, is not correct, but I just boiled buckwheat for myself two glasses of water for a glass of buckwheat. It turned out very tasty porridge, I did not add salt, sugar and butter to the porridge.
In general, I ate such buckwheat during the day. I didn’t feel the difference, since I ate both “steamed” buckwheat and boiled buckwheat for me there is no difference.
I lost 5 kg in 5 days. I lose a kilo a day.
But, I won’t say that everyone can lose weight like that, my friend loses 7 kg in 10 days, after all, each organism is individual.
If you decide to eat buckwheat with kefir, then for one day you will need about 1 - 1.5 liters of non-fat and fresh kefir. Kefir is best to take 1%. You can replace kefir with non-fat yogurt.
Which buckwheat is more useful green or brown
Buckwheat is the most useful, low-calorie product. Its calorie content is: 70 - 150 Kcal.
The effectiveness for weight loss lies in its composition. The high content of iron, potassium, vitamins and protein saturate the body with useful microelements and heal it. The product performs a kind of “cleansing” of the body and removes toxins and all kinds of “garbage” from the gastrointestinal tract.
Buckwheat diet is indicated not only for weight loss, but also for various diseases of the body. Weight loss is recommended by nutritionists and other medical specialists, because the product lowers blood cholesterol levels, cleanses the liver, and improves complexion. Also, the diet is indicated for various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
The effectiveness of the buckwheat technique lies in the fact that the product suppresses the feeling of hunger and saturates. This food can be eaten throughout the day, but dosed and at intervals. Menus and diet recipes must be carefully thought out so that the daily diet is rich and tasty.
How much weight can you lose?
A properly designed weight loss program on a buckwheat diet allows you to lose hated kg without reducing muscle mass. The system of weight loss described below from the simplest and most delicious product will allow you to lose weight by 7-10 kg per week.
Note that for efficiency, the following conditions must be met:

As you know, green buckwheat is much healthier than brown, according to nutritionists. Green buckwheat is not subjected to heat treatment, unlike brown buckwheat.
But, brown buckwheat is more familiar and tastier to me, but I always choose light brown buckwheat, it is less fried. I also always buy whole grain cereals, it is in such cereals that all useful substances and vitamins are stored.
But, there are no comrades for the taste and color.

Complexity: simple
Ingredients:
water - 800 ml

Cooking
Let's start with cereal. Let's go through it. 
As a rule, buckwheat is very dirty. Therefore, I strongly recommend washing it in several waters until the water runs clear.
Drain this water and pour new (as indicated in the recipe). We need to put the pot on the stove. Bring the water to a boil, cover the saucepan with a lid and cook.
Generally, at this stage I like to add onions, carrots, mushrooms, meat and all that. This time I changed myself. I did without these ingredients, but chose zucchini. Cut it into cubes.
Pour the zucchini pieces into the bowl.
Cover with a lid again (you can add a little salt), bring to a boil and cook for exactly 10 minutes. Yes, there was enough for buckwheat, and even more so for zucchini. Let them cool down so they can grind.
Next, I took a regular sieve and rubbed the solid ingredients, straining them from the broth. But we are not in a hurry to pour out the broth!
This is what happened when I topped up the broth. You can make the soup thicker or thinner, your choice.
Since buckwheat is a common and inexpensive product, buckwheat soup for weight loss is available to every person who has no contraindications to its use. There are many options for preparing this very healthy dish.

For systematic weight loss, the dietary intake should usually not exceed 1200-1700 kilocalories (kcal) per day. The exact figure depends on the individual indicators of a person: gender, height, initial weight, level of physical activity.
Peculiarities
The effectiveness of a mono-diet on buckwheat soup is due to the low calorie content of this dish. The principle of the diet is simple. A 3-liter pot of soup is cooked per day, the total calorie content of which does not exceed 800-900 kcal. For several days (4-5) you can only eat this dish (no more than the specified amount per day).
Since 900 calories a day is very little for almost any adult, everyone, with rare exceptions, loses weight significantly on buckwheat soup. Only for 5-6 days a little boiled chicken, fish and vegetables are added to the diet.
But doctors warn: mono-diets cause significant damage to health. In addition, smooth weight loss of no more than 4-5 kg per month is considered effective. Weight lost quickly returns after a while.
