Many representatives of the fair sex have been trying in vain to lose excess pounds for many years. Ekaterina Mirimanova proves from her own experience that everything is possible. The text provides complete information about the “Minus 60” diet and a table with permitted foods. It is also suggested to read the reviews. It is also worth adopting the “Minus 60” diet menu for a day, week or month. Its author, nutritionist and author of the book Ekaterina Mirimanova, believes that diet is a way of life, and not the introduction of temporary bans on the consumption of certain foods.
general information
The diet called “Minus 60” was created by a girl, Ekaterina Mirimanova. The power system received its name due to the result of its author. Ekaterina Mirimanova herself lost 60 kilograms. Her initial weight was 120 kg. It is worth noting that the girl is neither a nutritionist nor a doctor. According to Ekaterina Mirimanova, the diet was created thanks to her personal experiment. She herself tested various principles of nutrition and diet, and their combinations. This was the beginning for the development of this nutrition system and the creation of the optimal “Minus 60” diet menu. Ekaterina Mirimanova also advises gradually incorporating physical activity into your life. You can start with walking, gradually introducing fitness classes or some other sport.
System "Minus 60" during pregnancy and lactation
Many women during pregnancy are afraid to go on a diet, believing that excess stress is harmful to the mother’s body. There is also an opinion that women who limit themselves in food can harm the unborn baby, who will “starve” in the womb, not receiving enough nutrients.
Any diet is associated with a lack of vitamins and minerals entering the mother’s body, which will negatively affect her well-being and health after childbirth.
However, do not forget that excess weight is also harmful for women. The kilograms gained during pregnancy, when the mother “eats for two,” are difficult to lose after childbirth, when the mother returns to daily routine activities.
However, even more dangerous and unpleasant are the harmful eating habits acquired while expecting a baby , lack of self-control, chaotic snacking, and eating large amounts of junk food. After the period of pregnancy and breastfeeding, many women cannot give them up, and the accumulated kilograms remain with them for many years, if not forever.
The minus 60 diet, which is not associated with strict restrictions, is almost ideal for weight control during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Naturally, a woman can make some minor adjustments to the system. For example, breastfeeding requires the consumption of a large amount of liquid (tea with milk, compote, fruit juice), which according to the system is equivalent to a snack.
While breastfeeding, you are allowed to drink as needed. During pregnancy, the expectant mother can sometimes treat herself to forbidden foods that she really wants to eat. The absence of disruptions in the minus 60 system is also suitable for following a diet during pregnancy. The minus 60 system provides psychological comfort along with physical convenience, which is important during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Those losing weight who strictly adhere to a diet gain 4-5 kg during pregnancy. Repeated mothers report positive changes, less weight gain and better health. Doctors do not find any contraindications or reasons to prohibit the diet for pregnant women. Some obstetricians and gynecologists advise adhering to a reasonable nutrition system while expecting a child.
After stopping breastfeeding, women who do not change their diet and adhere to the minus 60 system during pregnancy and lactation can easily lose unnecessary pounds after returning to normal life. Physical activity on the “Minus 60” diet
An integral part of the minus 60 system is physical exercise.
With a relatively large weight, physical activity should be moderate; joints and ligaments should not be overstrained. Ekaterina Mirimanova presents her own system of exercises, combined with the lifestyle and nutrition of people losing weight.
The first rule of the “Minus 60” diet
The first rule of the diet is as follows: “Tune in to the process of losing weight correctly.” The author of the diet began to follow it without much preparation, in other words, the author advises not to put off your plans until tomorrow or next Monday. In addition, Catherine advises losing weight for yourself, and not for some upcoming event or for the sake of another person. Every woman should sometimes, in the routine of everyday affairs and problems, remember about herself and devote more time to her beloved. This applies to both proper nutrition and personal care in general: skin, hair, nails, and so on.
The second rule of the “Minus 60” diet
The second rule is as follows: “It is better to rebuild taste habits gradually, step by step moving towards a new life.” In other words, you need to switch to proper nutrition gradually and introduce healthy foods into your diet in doses. Also, the diet should teach you to choose adequate portions, not to overeat, and not to go looking for more.
It is better to remove large plates. It is also advisable to eat in silence, without watching movies or TV. Because in this case the person only swallows the food. Ekaterina also advises identifying your favorite unhealthy product, gradually trying to replace it with a more correct one that is similar in taste.
Ekaterina Mirimanova also warns that you should not expect instant results; you should not punish yourself if you do not see a quick effect. In addition, you need to remember that excess weight did not appear in one day, so it will not disappear so quickly either. Also, do not forget that for the fair half of humanity, eating behavior is directly dependent on mood, as well as directly dependent on the menstrual cycle, so it is important to listen to your body and be able to distinguish needs from your own whims. In general, the “Minus 60” diet is considered a fairly flexible and feminine method.
