Diet Minus 60 proper nutrition, permitted and prohibited foods

According to Ekaterina, the impetus for starting the diet was the terrifying figures on the scales - more than 120 kg. Having tried all available methods, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, the girl created her own nutrition system, the one that today is called the "Minus 60 kg" diet for lazy people. His example was an excellent motivation for nearly 3 million users. Thanks to Katya's advice, they were also able to start a new life.

Millions of women around the world start every morning with the hope of starting a new life, losing weight, becoming slim and desirable. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of them actually achieve their goal. Others, alas, are stopped by a poorly developed sense of will, fear or self-doubt. According to nutritionists, the problem for most people is that they simply cannot choose the right carrier of nutrition and, most importantly, motivate themselves sufficiently to achieve the desired goal.

Principles of the "Minus 60" diet:

1. Surprisingly, anything goes in this food system. That is to say absolutely everything: cakes, sausages, cheeses, chocolate, lard. There is one big but: all this can be consumed strictly before 12: 00! That is, in the morning you are allowed to eat a large and unhealthy meal, so that in the evening you can get rid of everything. Many will scream in horror or smile with contempt, because you can't lose weight like that! But Ekaterina Mirimanova claims that forbidden foods are more harmful than fatty foods. Knowing that sausages are taboo, you will get up at night and eat only these.
2. The last meal should take place three hours before bedtime. Basically, if you go to bed at 11: 00 p. m. , a light dinner is possible at 8: 00 p. m. ;later it is not recommended. The sooner the body digests food and rests, the better the results will be.
3. Physical activity is required. No one is forcing you to spend hours at the gym, but doing basic exercises at home is essential. Daily exercise not only accelerates metabolism, but also increases skin elasticity.

Katya Mirimanova's diet does not give immediate results. To feel and see changes, you have to try and, above all, believe in yourself. By the way, the motivating moment in Catherine's books takes almost a central place. After all, she has experienced this herself: fear that nothing will work, self-doubt, lack of support from others, etc. So, before starting to consider the nutritional system, it is worth devoting a special chapter to the stage of preparing the body and itself for future changes.

Psychological preparation

Today, in addition to books and lectures, several groups have been created on the Internet, the participants of which adhere to the "Diet minus 60".

The system has received mixed reactions from professional nutritionists. Some have accused the author of being unsystematic, lacking medical research, and generally not recommending this approach to weight loss. Other experts reacted quite favorably to the diet, seeing in it only a revision and a slightly different interpretation of already known methods.

But what really sets Katya Mirimanova's system apart are the real-life examples and great motivational tips. The woman herself experienced all the horrors of a shapeless body and was able to formulate important advice on psychological adaptation. Author's recommendations:

1. Don't wait for "tomorrow"! It will only come if you want it to. Many expect motivation from the outside, but no one, except the person himself, can complain about his laziness and lack of initiative.
2. Don't lose weight for someone or something. It's about your health and your body, the first thing you should be interested in is reducing that terrible number on the scale.
3. Remember that no task is impossible. Don't think that I already weigh 100 kg, I will never be thin at 50-60 kg. Everything is possible! The body is plasticine, with the right commands it will obey and change under your direction.
4. Check the time, always look at the clock. Correct planning will allow you not only to train your body, but also to adjust your life and work.
5. Be prepared for the fact that results will not appear instantly: healthy weight loss takes from 2 months to 1. 5 years, depending on your weight. Only in these conditions, the pounds will not come back in a few weeks.
6. Do not blame or scold yourself for minor breakdowns or unexpected weight gain. Remember that you should always have a positive attitude: negative emotions will deteriorate your mood and can undo all previous attempts.

In terms of external characteristics, Ekaterina Mirimanova's "Diet -60" is similar to the principles of proper nutrition, with the exception of a few points, such as the possibility of eating flour, sweets and fatty foods.

The absence of prohibitions is relative, because this rule only applies in the morning, strictly until 12 p. m. But it turned out that such a small slowdown has positive results. We go to bed on an empty stomach, but thinking that tomorrow in the morning we will eat something tasty and this will not affect the course of the diet in any way. It is this factor that largely influenced the success of all Catherine's disciples.

Reorganization of the electrical system

When you start Ekaterina Mirimanova's "Diet -60", remember that your lifestyle will have to change radically. Habits born over the years need to be rebuilt and some need to be completely eliminated. Only the first month will be difficult. According to psychologists, it takes about 21 days for a person to get used to any phenomenon, this also applies to nutrition.

You need to enter a diet gradually, so that changing your diet and habits does not become a shock to the body. Here the author proposed several techniques:

1. First of all, you need to systematize and understand the existing food system. In other words, write down all meals daily, preferably indicating the weight of the portions and the time allowed for eating. After a week, analyze the discs, sometimes we don't even know what is really happening in our mouth. And visual information will help you eliminate excess food and, most importantly, build a new nutritional system.
2. The diet should be changed gradually. Replace one product each day or systematically move evening meal times to an earlier time. For example, today you ate sausages and an omelet for breakfast, washed down with coffee and sugar, and for lunch you ate a bowl of soup with mashed potatoes and saladwith mayonnaise. Tomorrow you can replace the first course with a piece of chicken fillet with the same salad, and leave the morning meal the same. On the third day, include oatmeal, cereal, or something else.
3. Introduce physical exercise gradually. You can start with squats, arm swings and planks, add a new exercise each day or week and increase the pace of the ones you already know.

One of the main comments for those who decided to follow Ekaterina Mirimanova's "Minus 60 Diet" is not to set such serious goals as losing 30, 40 kg. It's not the numbers that matter, but the general condition. You should strive to get rid of excess weight, weight that has a detrimental effect on the entire body. For some, losing just 5 to 10 kg will be enough to feel comfort and harmony with themselves. It is recommended to divide your goal into 6 stages: first I want to get rid of 5 kg, if this has already been done, I strive to reach 7 kg, etc.

The main rules of the "Minus 60" diet

On the Internet, next to the description of Katya Mirimanova's diet, there is always a note that in this system you are allowed to eat everything. But this statement is only partially true. Everything is possible, but in certain quantities and within a strictly prescribed time frame.

Here are 5 main rules for successful weight loss:

1. From 7: 00 to 12: 00 you can eat fried, salty, floury and sweet foods, with the exception of milk chocolate (it should be replaced with dark chocolate). That is, you can easily boil 2 eggs, a few sausages or make a sandwich, but if everything is together, it is better to divide the consumption into 2-3 times.
2. But for lunch, nothing fried is allowed. Only baked, boiled or grilled foods. Until 2: 00 p. m. it is allowed to use a teaspoon of sour cream instead of sauce. Ekaterina Mirimanova's "Diet -60" menu provides for the separate consumption of proteins and carbohydrates. This means that you should not eat fish or meat with pasta, buckwheat or potatoes. Such a meal in the stomach will be digested twice as long and less efficiently. You can supplement the menu with fruit.
3. The afternoon snack and dinner should contain even fewer calories. Choose meat, fish with vegetables or rice/buckwheat with the same vegetables, but do not mix cereals with proteins. Fruits are also allowed.

Thus, the diet is built on the principle of an inverted pyramid. The day begins with heavy, high-calorie foods and ends with light, stomach-friendly foods. The main thing is not to take a horizontal position after each meal, the body will work worse in a resting position and digestion can even lead to heartburn.

10 steps to your ideal weight

For the "Minus 60 Diet" you do not need additional fasting for 1-2 days, you do not limit yourself, but reorganize your diet so that the body can function properly and gradually get rid of excess fat. The diet teaches the main thing: to monitor your actions, analyze and control your diet. Important steps on the way to a slim body:

1. Never skip breakfast. Firstly, in the morning everything delicious is allowed, including sausages and sweets. Second, the body functions much better in the first hours of the day, after having rested. Third, you put yourself in the right frame of mind during the busiest time of the day.
2. If you have a sweet tooth and it's not possible to give up sugar in your tea or a piece of cake, you don't need to torture yourself. Before 12: 00, drink hot drinks with a substitute, methodically and gradually reducing the portion. Alcohol during the diet is allowed with dry wine in reasonable quantities.
3. You can have chocolate, but only bitter chocolate, in no case milk chocolate, this composition is very difficult to break down and gives you extra grams even during the day.
4. Among all the accompanying cereals, choose rice, first steamed, then wild or brown. It is best to eat buckwheat for lunch, not dinner.
5. Surprisingly, bread is also allowed, but only before midday and in small quantities.
6. Potatoes and pasta are also allowed and even recommended, but only before 12: 00 p. m. or at lunch until 2: 00 p. m. It is better to eat these side dishes separately or with vegetables, but you should not eat them with meat or fish. You should also exclude these foods from your evening meal.
7. Dinner must take place no earlier than 5: 00 p. m. and no later than 6: 00 p. m. ;ideally, if you are a night owl, the last meal can be eaten at 8: 00 p. m. , but something light, like cottage cheese, salad with yogurt dressing.
8. But on the issue of water, Ekaterina Mirimanova has a different point of view than other nutritionists. It does not require its followers to drink a specific amount of water. His principle: if you want, drink, if you don't want, don't.
9. When cooking, consider the weight, size and calorie content of the portion. If in the morning it is a plate of omelet with a sandwich, then for dinner a small plate of salad with a light dressing is enough.
10. Fried food can only be eaten until noon, the rest of the time we cook, steam and bake everything.

Mirimanova's "Diet -60" has deservedly become widespread. The author herself has become an excellent example for hundreds of thousands of women. It is enough to look at numerous albums with before and after photos to understand that the system works and gives real results.

Physical exercise

Despite the fact that the "minus 60 diet" is usually called "lazy", you still need to work hard to achieve an ideal figure. Daily exercise helps improve metabolism, strengthens the immune system and makes the skin elastic, which is very important for losing weight. Moreover, the main thing in physical education is not intensity and heavy loads, but systematics and regularity. What activities are recommended when changing your diet:

Recommended series of exercises "Diet -60":

1. Swing your legs with emphasis on a chair. 15 to 20 times on one side and the other.
2. Cat pose. Standing on outstretched arms and kneeling, lean completely forward, return to the starting position, and so on 10 to 15 times.
