Prohibited foods for athletes

The essence and requirements of the Mirimanova diet minus 60

• Breakfast is a must. Since after waking up, with its help, all metabolic processes of the body are launched. It is recommended to have breakfast no later than an hour after waking up.
• Until 12 noon, you can eat almost everything, including sweets and flour products. The main thing is to ensure that the portions are approximately the same in volume and saturation in all 3 meals.
• It is not recommended to have dinner later than 18:00, the deadline is 19:00. If at first it doesn’t work out because you are used to having a late dinner, then gradually shift it to an earlier one. Still, this is a matter of habit.
• The best part is that you don't have to count calories for any of your meals. This is especially noted by adherents of the minus 60 system.
• Can I have sugar, jam and honey? Of course yes, but only until noon. If it’s really hard for you without sugar, replace it with sweeteners, for example, xylitol.
• Salt and spices are not prohibited, but it is worth remembering that salt retains water in the body and you should not over-salt your dishes.
• Snacks are not welcome, only if you are very hungry, permitted fruits or vegetables (1 fruit per meal), low-fat kefir or sugar-free yogurt are allowed.
• You can drink water if you wish and a little dry red wine (1-2 glasses).
• There are no painful and monotonous fasting days. The menu during the day resembles separate meals. There are no strictly prohibited foods (only milk chocolate cannot be eaten; it is better to choose bitter chocolate or avoid it altogether).

The minus 60 system diet implies strict adherence to these simple rules in order to lose weight comfortably and maintain weight for many years.

Who is it suitable for?

First of all, the Mirimanova minus 60 diet is suitable for those who have a sweet tooth. People who, for medical reasons, are contraindicated from sudden weight loss and adherence to stricter diets, including mono-diets. Elderly people and teenagers, pregnant women can also eat according to the system.

For people who are professionally involved in fitness, whose goal is to have an athletic, sculpted figure, and those who like drastic, quick weight loss, they are unlikely to like the long wait for visible results. The minus 60 system diet is designed for the patient and does not give quick results.

The main tasks of proper nutrition for weight loss

If you decide to lose a couple of kilograms or lose a fair amount of weight, you need to set yourself several goals. Nutrition, which must perform several functions and meet a number of requirements and criteria, can help in this matter.

• The main condition is undeniable benefits for the human body and adherence to the principle of “giving more than taking away.” The fact is that there are foods that take a lot of energy to digest, but do not provide the required amount of nutrients. For example, this is meat, dairy food.

• Composition balance. It is foolish to eat food of a monotonous nature. It is important that every day the menu contains a complete composition of substances - carbohydrates for energy, proteins for building cells, fats for better absorption of substances.
• Diversity. If you need protein, it is foolish to eat only meat; you will need to eat other foods. Lentils, beans, and beans are rich in protein. At the same time, these products help improve overall health.
• Normalizing the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is another main task of proper nutrition. It should ensure normal stool and no retention in the body. After all, this leads to the accumulation of toxins and the formation of cholesterol, which, as usual, is a clear cause of obesity.
• Improved metabolism. One of the main reasons for the appearance of excess weight is a violation of the metabolic processes of various substances. Normal nutrition should ensure good metabolic processes and timely release of food debris from the body.

Taking into account all the principles of proper nutrition guarantees a solution to any issue and a slim figure.

Basic rules of the minus 60 system

• Fried in oil is prohibited. Therefore, we stew, bake, cook, grill.
• We prepare soups strictly without potatoes.
• Do not mix pasta and potatoes with meat and fish products. Replace your usual pasta with whole grain or shirataki pasta or wild rice. Avoid mayonnaise and sauces.
• After dinner only tea. Hot tea dulls the feeling of hunger. Go to bed on time. It is a scientifically proven fact that after getting enough sleep, you then want to eat less often during the day.
• It is necessary to adhere to strict time frames, having breakfast, lunch and dinner at specially designated hours. Breakfast until 12, lunch until 14 and dinner until 18.
• When visiting, ask the hostess to prepare you an appetizer of low-fat cheese in advance and take with you a bottle of wine (dry red) to avoid the temptations of mouth-watering food and high-calorie alcohol.

System efficiency minus 60

According to nutritionists and doctors, the minus 60 diet is considered quite effective and safe. Due to the free and varied menu, the diet can confidently be classified as balanced. There are no direct contraindications or duration restrictions. And also an important advantage is the absence of the need to cook and eat separately.

But, nevertheless, despite the large number of advantages, there is something to pay special attention to and warn supporters of the minus 60 system.

For people prone to overeating and poor self-control, it is especially important to monitor the size of portions, because with fairly loose nutrition rules, there is a risk of eating more.

We must not forget that a smooth reduction in the number of calories is still expected and plan your menu wisely.

There are no specific portion sizes; it is important to eat enough, but not to overeat. According to the creator of the diet, you should not switch to saucers, but you should also avoid huge plates. The portion should be approximately the same in the morning, lunch and evening, equal in saturation. You need to remember about daily exercise and skin care while losing weight.

Skin care for weight loss

1. Sudden weight gain or loss can harm your skin . Excess weight stretches the skin and when you lose weight quickly and dramatically using various diets, the skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag.
2. Being overweight requires careful selection of diet and exercise that promotes slow and steady weight loss. Gradual weight loss will be relatively less harmful to the skin. The minus 60 system diet took care of this too. There are several ways to keep your skin looking better even after losing weight.
3. Maintaining a healthy weight is key to maintaining skin elasticity and thus preventing sagging skin. Although this is quite difficult to do, especially if you are trying to lose weight. As mentioned earlier, the skin loses its elasticity due to rapid weight loss and therefore loses its ability to adjust to the new weight. However, following Mirimanova’s weight loss plan exactly, this will not happen. During the diet, you will be able to take care of your skin to increase its elasticity and therefore allow it to adapt to your new weight.
4. Working out promotes muscle building and weight loss . An appropriate exercise plan will help burn fat and calories, build strong muscles that will make your skin look more attractive and your figure sexier.
5. Gradually moisturize your skin with lotion or oil on a regular basis . Consume watery foods and plenty of water. Massage also helps make the skin firmer. Exfoliating your body at least twice a week will help keep your skin smooth and firm and will also prevent the appearance of stretch marks.

Recommended Exercises

1. If you decide to implement exercise to lose weight, start slowly, with the understanding that it will take some time to see results. Don't be discouraged if your goals are not achieved after the first week. The one who follows slowly but surely wins.
2. Check and record your weight before you start a new exercise cycle, and then try limiting yourself to checking only once a week. If you monitor your weight changes frequently, you will be disappointed if you don't immediately see drastic changes.
3. When you notice changes, reward yourself. No, not treats, chocolate or candy. Reward them with a trip to the cinema on a day off or shopping.
4. You can and should take a day off from training every week. Make it part of your workout. Your body needs a break from strenuous exercise, so be sure to schedule it.
5. Try gathering information about exercise and fitness or researching different types of exercise.
6. Try to get someone to do the exercises with you. This could be someone who is also trying to lose weight. Another benefit is that you can discuss your successes and fears with another person. A great way to motivate yourself and lose weight faster.
7. Listen to your body and don't exercise too often to avoid harming yourself.
8. Stick to your workout program. For some people, this is easier said than done. Most of us have such busy schedules that it is quite difficult to find a time to workout. But your body, your whole body, it needs exercise and fitness. Choose a template to suit your lifestyle. Try following workouts that are right for you. And even age is not a hindrance.
