Diet Minus 60 proper nutrition, permitted and prohibited foods

According to Ekaterina, the impetus to start a diet was the terrible numbers on the scales - more than 120 kg. Having tested all available methods, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, the girl created her own nutrition system, which today is called the "Minus 60 kg" diet for lazy people. His example has been a great motivation for almost 3 million users. Using Katya's advice, they too were 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 part of them achieve their goals. The rest, unfortunately, are stopped by poorly developed willpower, fear or self-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. It's amazing that everything is allowed in this food system. That is, absolutely everything: cakes, sausages, cheeses, chocolate, lard. There is a big thing, but: all of this can be consumed strictly until 12. 00! That is, you are allowed to eat heavy and unhealthy food in the morning so that you can shake everything until the evening. Many will scream in horror or smile in disgust because you can't lose weight like that! But Yekaterina Mirimanova claims that bans are more harmful than fatty foods. Knowing that sausages are taboo, you will stay up at night and eat only them.
2. The last meal should be three hours before bedtime. Roughly speaking, if you sleep at 23. 00, a light dinner at 20. 00 is possible, later is not recommended. The faster the body digests food and rests, the better the results.
3. Physical activity is required. No one is forcing you to spend hours in the gym, but doing basic exercises at home is a must. Daily exercise not only accelerates the metabolism, but also increases the elasticity of the skin.

Katya Mirimanova's diet does not give immediate results. You have to try and most importantly believe in yourself to feel and see the changes. By the way, motivation is almost central in Catherine's books. After all, he himself went through it: fear that nothing will work out, self-doubt, lack of support from others, etc. So, before starting to consider the nutrition system, it is worth devoting a special chapter to the preparation phase. body and self change for the future.

Psychological preparation

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

The system received mixed reactions from professional nutritionists. Some accused the author of being unsystematic, lacking medical research, and generally not recommending this approach to weight loss. Other experts reacted quite positively to the diet, seeing in it only a review 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 went through all the horrors of the shapeless body and was able to give important advice on psychological adjustment. Author's recommendations:

1. Don't wait for "tomorrow"! It won't come unless you want it to. Many people look for motivation from the outside, but no one can beat their laziness and initiative except the person himself.
2. Don't lose weight because of someone or something. It's your health and your body that you should be interested in reducing that terrible number on the scale first.
3. Remember that nothing is impossible. No need to 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 guidance.
4. Control the time, always look at the clock. Proper planning will allow you not only to train the body, but also to regulate your life and work.
5. Be prepared that the results will not be visible immediately, healthy weight loss lasts from 2 months to 1. 5 years, depending on your weight. Only in this case, the kilograms will not return in a few weeks.
6. Do not berate yourself for small failures or unexpected weight gain. Remember that you should always have a positive attitude, negative emotions will worsen your mood and can cancel all previous efforts.

According to external characteristics, Yekaterina Mirimanova's "Diet-60" is similar to the principles of proper nutrition, except for a few points, such as the ability to eat sweets and fatty foods.

The absence of prohibitions is relative, because this rule applies only in the morning, until 12 o'clock. But it turned out that such a small gap gives positive results. We go to bed hungry, but thinking that tomorrow morning we will eat something tasty and that it will not affect the course of the diet in any way. It was this factor that greatly influenced the success of all of Catherine's followers.

Reorganization of the energy system

When starting Ekaterina Mirimanova's "Diet-60" program, remember that your lifestyle will have to change radically. It is necessary to rebuild the habits formed over the years, and some of them should 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, and this also applies to nutrition.

You should enter the diet gradually so that changing your diet and habits does not become a shock for the body. Here the author presented several techniques:

1. First of all, it is necessary to systematize and understand the existing food system. That is, write down all the daily meals, preferably indicating the weight of the portions and the time allotted for eating. Analyze the notes a week later, sometimes we don't even know what actually came into our mouths. And visual information will help to eliminate excess products and, most importantly, to establish a new nutritional system.
2. The diet should be changed gradually. Change one product every day or move meal times consistently to earlier in the evening. For example, today you ate sausage and omelet for breakfast, washed down with coffee and sugar, and for lunch you ate a bowl of soup with mashed potatoes and a 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. Gradually introduce physical exercises. You can start with squats, arm swings and planks, add a new exercise every day or week, and increase the speed of the exercises you already know.

One of the main notes for those who decide to go to Ekaterina Mirimanova's "Diet minus 60" is not to set serious goals such as losing 30, 40 kg. It's not the numbers that matter, it's the overall situation. You should try to get rid of excess weight, weight that has a harmful effect on the whole body. For some, just getting rid of 5-10 kg will be enough to feel peace and harmony with oneself. 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 work for 7 kg, etc.

Basic rules of the "Minus 60" diet

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

Here are 5 basic rules for successful weight loss:

1. From 07. 00 to 12. 00 you can eat fried, salty, floury and sweet foods except for milk chocolate (it should be replaced with dark chocolate). That is, you can easily cook yourself 2 eggs, a few sausages or make a sandwich, but if they are all together, it is better to divide the intake into 2-3 times.
2. But nothing fried is allowed for dinner. Only baked, boiled or fried foods. It is allowed to use a teaspoon of sour cream instead of sauce until 14: 00. Yekaterina Mirimanova's "Diet-60" menu ensures separate consumption of proteins and carbohydrates. This means that you should not eat a portion of fish or meat with pasta, buckwheat or potatoes. In the stomach, such a meal will be digested twice as long and less efficiently. You can complete the menu with fruits.
3. Afternoon snacks and dinner should contain fewer calories. Choose meat, fish with vegetables or rice/buckwheat with the same vegetables, but do not mix grains with proteins. Fruits are also allowed.

Thus, the diet is based on the inverted pyramid principle. The day starts with heavy and high-calorie foods and ends with light and easy on the stomach foods. The main thing is not to take a horizontal position after each meal, the body will work worse at rest, and digestion may even result in heartburn.
