Diet Minus 60 proper nutrition, permitted and prohibited foods

According to Ekaterina, the impetus for starting the diet was the terrifying numbers 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 the lazy. Her example served as excellent motivation for almost 3 million users. Using 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, 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 vector of nutrition 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. That is, absolutely everything: cakes, sausages, cheeses, chocolate, lard. There is a big but: all this can be consumed strictly before 12. 00! That is, in the morning you are allowed to eat a heavy and unhealthy meal, so that by the evening you can shake everything off. Many will scream in horror or smile contemptuously, because you can’t lose weight like that! But Ekaterina Mirimanova claims that prohibitions are more harmful than fatty foods. Knowing that sausages are taboo, you will get up at night and eat only them.
2. The last meal should be three hours before bedtime. Roughly speaking, if you go to bed at 23. 00, then a light dinner is possible at 20. 00; 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 forces you to spend hours in the gym, but doing basic exercises at home is a must. Daily exercise not only speeds up 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. By the way, the motivating moment in Catherine’s books occupies almost a central place. After all, she herself went through this: fear that nothing will work out, 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 the futurechanges.

Psychological preparation

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

The system was met with mixed reactions by professional nutritionists. Some accused the author of being unsystematic, lacking medical research, and generally not recommending this approach for losing weight. 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 shapeless body and was able 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 motivation from the outside, but no one except the person himself can give a kick to his laziness and lack of initiative.
2. Don't lose weight for someone or something. It is your health and body, first of all, you should be interested in reducing this terrible number on the scale.
3. Remember that no task is impossible. You don’t need to think that I already weigh 100 kg, I will never be slim at 50-60 kg. Everything is possible! The body is plasticine, with the right commands it will obey and change under your leadership.
4. Control the time, always look at the clock. Correct planning will allow you 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 kilograms will not return in a few weeks.
6. Don't reproach or scold yourself for minor breakdowns or unexpected weight gain. Remember that you should always have a positive attitude; negative emotions will worsen your mood and can cancel out all previous attempts.

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

The absence of prohibitions is relative, because this rule applies only to the morning, strictly until 12 o’clock. But, as it turned out, such a small slack has positive results. We go to bed hungry, but with the thought that tomorrow, in the morning, we will eat something tasty 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 power system

When starting the "Diet -60" by Ekaterina Mirimanova, remember that your lifestyle will have to radically change. Habits that have been born over the years need to be rebuilt, and some need to be eliminated altogether. 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 into a diet gradually, so that changing your diet and habits does not become a shock to the body. Here the author has provided several techniques:

1. First of all, you need to systematize and understand the existing food system. That is, write down all meals daily, preferably indicating the weight of portions and the time allotted for eating. After a week, analyze the records, sometimes we don’t even know what’s actually going into our mouths. And visual information will help you remove excess products and, most importantly, build a new nutrition system.
2. The diet should be changed gradually. Replace one product every day or consistently move meal times from the evening 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 salad with 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 every day or week and increase the pace of the ones you already know.

One of the main notes for those who decided to go on the "Diet minus 60" by Ekaterina Mirimanova is not to set such serious goals as losing 30, 40 kg. It is not the numbers that are important, 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, getting rid of just 5-10 kg will be enough to feel comfort and harmony with oneself. It is recommended to break your goal into 6 stages: first I want to get rid of 5 kg, if this has already been done, I strive for 7 kg, etc.

The main rules of the "Minus 60" diet

On the Internet, next to the description of the diet from Katya Mirimanova, there is always a note that in this system you are allowed to eat everything. But this statement is only partly true. Everything is possible, but in certain quantities and at a strictly allotted time.

Here are 5 main rules for successful weight loss:

1. From 07. 00 to 12. 00 you can eat fried, salty, flour and sweet foods, except for milk chocolate (it should be replaced with dark chocolate). That is, you can easily boil yourself 2 eggs, a couple of 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 baked, boiled or grilled foods. Until 14. 00 it is allowed to use a teaspoon of sour cream instead of sauce. The "Diet -60" menu by Ekaterina Mirimanova 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 long and less efficiently. You can supplement the menu with fruits.
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 grains with proteins. Fruits are also allowed.

Thus, the diet is built on the principle of an inverted pyramid. The day begins 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 in a resting position, and digestion may even result in heartburn.

10 steps to your ideal weight

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

1. Never skip breakfast. Firstly, in the morning everything delicious is allowed, including sausage and sweets. Secondly, the body works much better in the first hours of the day, having rested. Third, you put yourself in the right mindset during the busiest time of the day.
2. If you have an avid 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 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. Of all the cereals for a side dish, choose rice, first steamed, then wild or brown. 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 12. 00 or at lunch until 14. 00. It is better to eat such 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 your evening meal.
7. Dinner should be no earlier than 17. 00 and no later than 18. 00; ideally, if you are a night owl, the last meal can be consumed at 20. 00, but something light, like cottage cheese, salad with yogurt dressing.
8. But on the issue of water, Ekaterina Mirimanova takes a different point of view than other nutritionists. She does not force her followers to drink any specific amount of water. Its 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 might be 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 consumed until 12. 00, 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.

Sample menu

The main factor in Ekaterina Mirimanova’s method is the absence of clear boundaries. This also applies to the list of permitted foods. It is practically unlimited; there are only certain rules for eating food.

Physical exercise

Despite the fact that the "Diet minus 60" is usually called "lazy, " you still have to work hard for the sake of an ideal figure. Daily exercise helps improve metabolism, strengthens the immune system and makes the skin elastic, which is very important when losing weight.

Recommended set of exercises "Diet -60":

1. Swing your legs with emphasis on a chair. 15-20 times on one side and the other.

But you don’t need to jump into exercises right away. The author claims that you yourself will feel when the time comes to start physical activity. The body itself will require increased work on itself.
