Diet minus 60 proper nutrition, permitted and prohibited foods

According to Ekaterina, the impetus to start the diet was the scary numbers on the scales - more than 120 kg. After trying all the available methods, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, the girl created her own nutritional system, the one that is now called the "Minus 60 kg" diet for the lazy. Her example served as excellent motivation for almost 3 million users. Following 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. The rest, unfortunately, is interrupted by a poorly developed sense of will, fear or doubt. According to nutritionists, the problem for most people is that they simply cannot choose the right nutrition vector and, most importantly, motivate themselves enough to achieve the desired goal.

Principles of the "Minus 60" diet:

1. Surprisingly, everything is allowed in this food system. In other words, 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 can have a heavy and unhealthy meal, so that in the evening you can get rid of it all. Many will scream in horror or smile with contempt, because you can't lose weight like that! But Ekaterina Mirimanova claims that bans are more harmful than fatty foods. Knowing that sausages are taboo, you will wake up at night and eat only them.
2. The last meal should be three hours before bed. Roughly speaking, if you go to bed at 11pm, a light dinner is possible at 8pm, later is not recommended. The sooner the body digests food and rests, the better the results.
3. Physical activity is necessary. No one forces you to spend hours at the gym, but doing basic exercises at home is essential. Daily exercise not only speeds up your metabolism but also increases skin elasticity.

Katya Mirimanova's diet does not give immediate results. To feel and see changes, you need to try and, most importantly, believe in yourself. In fact, the motivating moment in Catherine's books occupies almost a central place. After all, she went through this herself: fear that nothing would work out, doubts, lack of support from others, etc. Therefore, before you start thinking about the nutritional system, it is worth dedicating a special chapter to the stage of preparing your body and yourself for future changes.

Psychological preparation

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

The system was met with 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 is the real-life example and excellent motivational tips. The woman herself went through all the horrors of a deformed body and managed to formulate important tips on psychological adjustment. Author's recommendations:

1. Don't wait for "tomorrow"! It won't come unless you want it to. Many expect external motivation, but no one except the person himself can kick their laziness and lack of initiative.
2. Don't lose weight for someone or something. It is your health and your body, first and foremost, that you should be interested in 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 leadership.
4. Keep track of time, always look at the clock. Correct planning will allow not only to train the 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 under this condition the kilos will not return in a few weeks.
6. Don't blame or berate yourself for minor meltdowns or unexpected weight gain. Remember that you should always have a positive attitude; Negative emotions will worsen your mood and may nullify all previous attempts.

In terms of external characteristics, Ekaterina Mirimanova's "Diet -60" resembles the principles of proper nutrition, with the exception of some points, such as the ability to eat flour, sweets and fatty foods.

The absence of prohibitions is relative, as this rule applies only in the morning, strictly until 12 noon. But, as it turned out, such a small gap has positive results. We go to bed hungry, but thinking that tomorrow, in the morning, we will eat something delicious and this will not affect the progress of the diet in any way. It was this factor that largely affected the success of all of Catherine's followers.

Reorganization of the energy system

When starting Ekaterina Mirimanova's "Diet -60", remember that her lifestyle will have to change radically. Habits that were 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 a person around 21 days to get used to any phenomenon, which also applies to food.

It is necessary to diet gradually, so that the change in diet and habits does not become a shock to the body. Here the author provided several techniques:

1. Firstly, it is necessary to systematize and understand the existing food system. In other words, write down all your meals daily, preferably indicating the weight of the portions and the time allocated for eating. After a week of analyzing the records, sometimes we don't even know what is actually going into our mouths. And visual information will help you remove excess products and, most importantly, build a new nutritional system.
2. The diet must be changed gradually. Replace one product every day or consistently move your evening meal time to an earlier time. For example, today you had sausage and an omelet for breakfast, washed down with coffee and sugar, and for lunch you ate a bowl of soup with mashed potatoes and salad with mayonnaise. Tomorrow you can replace the first course with a piece of chicken fillet with the same salad, and leave breakfast 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 those you already know.

One of the main notes for those who have decided to follow Ekaterina Mirimanova's "Minus 60 Diet" is not to set goals as serious as losing 30, 40 kg. It's not the numbers that matter, but the general condition. You must strive to get rid of excess weight, weight that harms your entire body. For some, getting rid of just 5-10 kg will be enough to feel comfort and harmony with themselves. It is recommended to divide your goal into 6 steps: first I want to get rid of 5 kg, if this has already been done, I strive to get to 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 can eat everything. But this statement is only partially true. Everything is possible, but in certain quantities and at a strictly determined time.

Here are 5 main rules for successful weight loss:

1. From 7: 00 am to 12: 00 pm you can eat fried, salty, flour and sweet foods, except milk chocolate (it must be replaced with dark chocolate). That is, you can easily boil 2 eggs, some sausages or make a sandwich, but if it's all together, it's better to divide the intake into 2-3 times.
2. But for lunch, nothing fried is allowed. Only roasted, boiled or grilled foods. Until 2: 00 pm 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 a portion of fish or meat with pasta, buckwheat or potatoes. Such a meal in the stomach will be digested twice as much and less efficiently. You can complement the menu with fruit.
3. Afternoon snack and dinner should contain even fewer calories. Choose meat, fish with vegetables or rice/buckwheat with the same vegetables, but don't mix grains with proteins. Fruits are also allowed.

Thus, the diet is based on the inverted pyramid principle. The day starts with heavy, high-calorie foods and ends with light, easy-to-swallow foods. The main thing is not to stay in a horizontal position after each meal, as the body works worse in a resting position and digestion can even cause heartburn.

10 steps to your ideal weight

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

1. Never skip breakfast. Firstly, in the morning everything delicious is allowed, including sausages and sweets. Secondly, the body works much better in the early hours of the day, after resting. Third, you put yourself in the right mindset during the busiest time of the day.
2. If you love sweets and it is not possible to give up sugar in your tea or a piece of cake, there is no 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 dry wine in reasonable quantities.
3. You can eat chocolate, but only dark chocolate, in no case milk chocolate, this composition is very difficult to break down and gives extra grams even during the day.
4. Of all the cereals for a side dish, choose rice, first steamed, then wild or wholemeal. It is better to eat buckwheat for lunch, not dinner.
5. Surprisingly, bread is also allowed, but only before 12: 00 and in small quantities.
6. Potatoes and pasta are also allowed and even recommended, but only before 12pm or at lunch until 2pm. It is best to eat these side dishes separately or with vegetables, but you should not eat them with meat or fish. It is also necessary to exclude these foods from the evening meal.
7. Dinner should be no earlier than 5: 00 pm and no later than 6: 00 pm; Ideally, if you are a night owl, the last meal can be eaten at 8 pm, 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. She does not force her followers to drink any specific amount of water. Her principle: if you want, drink, if you don't want, don't drink.
9. When cooking, take into account the weight, size and calorie content of the portion. If in the morning it can be a plate of omelet with a sandwich, then for dinner a small plate of salad with a light dressing is enough.
10. Fried foods can only be eaten until 12pm, the rest of the time we cook, steam and bake everything.
