British scientists have proven that oat bran in the diet is an excellent prevention of malignant tumors of the colon.
Oat bran absorbs liquid 25-30 times its “dry” volume. In the stomach, swollen bran creates a feeling of fullness. Further, moving through the intestinal tract, bran works as a natural adsorbent and removes accumulated toxins from the body. Gently stimulate intestinal motility, establishing its regular functioning. The fiber contained in oat bran is an excellent nutrient medium for beneficial intestinal microflora.

Recipes with bran for weight loss as a diet replacement
The vast majority of articles about bran for weight loss are based on two ideas:
- bran is wildly useful. They contain fiber, cleanse the intestines, relieve constipation, and supply B vitamins necessary for rapid metabolism. Therefore, eating them when trying to lose weight is a natural and normal solution;
- Most people do not want to rationally approach their diet, that is, take into account the amount of macronutrients and control themselves in a “mathematical” way. Indeed, for many people in everyday life it is more convenient to replace one high-calorie meal with a low-calorie one and give up dessert a couple of times a week in order to lose weight. That’s why recipes with bran often contain words like “replace breakfast or dinner with bran.”
The only problem is that these two theses can become mutually exclusive. This is especially evident when a person, believing in the benefits of bran food recipes, almost refuses normal food. Or he is trying to make an already significantly calorie-deficient diet even lower in calories. For example, the following strategy is more likely to be harmful than beneficial: replace dinner with kefir with a spoonful of bran, if the rest of the diet is something like oatmeal without anything for breakfast, an apple for a snack and a piece of chicken breast with vegetables for lunch. The miracle diet will provide a maximum of 1000 kcal. For most healthy women, such a “diet” will lead to a slowdown in metabolism and the inability to lose weight, no matter how many healthy recipes for weight loss they use, and no matter what bran they buy.
To use bran correctly, you should calculate the calorie content of your current diet and try to reduce it, for example, by 100 kcal. Sit on this caloric intake for a week, look at the dynamics of weight. Isn't it decreasing? You can cut it a little more. Reduced by 400-500 g? Great. Eat bran baked goods or drink bran kefir when convenient and continue.

Traditional recipes for weight loss with bran
The following practice is common on our forums:
- drink a glass of kefir 0-2.5% fat with a teaspoon of “powdered” bran instead of dinner. It is usually advised to eat “normally” all day and skip only this meal;
- It is often advised to drink kefir with a spoonful of bran half an hour before meals, before lunch and breakfast. Many people advise doing this only when you are very hungry, others advise doing this all the time. The purpose of such manipulations is precisely to reduce appetite;
- replace your usual breakfast of, for example, sandwiches and sweet tea or coffee, with bran with kefir; for this purpose, take crispy bran, reminiscent of breakfast cereals. For sweetness, you can cut an apple into a dish or throw in a handful of berries. It is strongly recommended not to eat this with sweet yoghurts or add regular white sugar. There is also advice for “quick weight loss” - to refrain from eating until lunch after eating bran for breakfast.
Usually, bran and recipes with it work as long as a person remembers that bran must be limited (no more than 2-3 teaspoons of powdered bran or 30 g of “crispy” bran per day), and do not forget to wash it down with water. If you ignore these requirements, eat too much bran and hardly drink, instead of the desired “cleansing of the body,” you can get quite severe constipation.
