Diet “minus 60” by Ekaterina Mirimanova – menu for the week, recipes

In this article I will tell you what the minus 60 system is and how you need to eat according to it; as examples, I will give you a menu for every day. It is worth noting that this is not a diet, but a nutrition system, the author of which lost 60 kilograms with its help. I, in turn, used the minus 60 system to maintain my figure after losing 20 kilograms. From my own experience, I will say that strict diets have an extremely negative effect on health, but this method of eating, on the contrary, benefits the body and easily helps you lose extra pounds.

The essence of the -60 system is that you can afford absolutely everything for breakfast. Would you like some toast? Please. Piece of cake? Welcome. But only for breakfast, and only until 12. For lunch and dinner, we use certain combinations of products, which are shown in the pictures below.

The essence of the “minus 60” diet

The “minus 60” diet involves eating at certain times. Breakfast is mandatory; it is necessary to activate metabolic processes in the body. If you are not used to having breakfast, then you should reconsider your decision. Until 12 noon, you can eat any foods you like, regardless of their calorie content and portion size. Smoked meats, sweets, pasta, potatoes are allowed - but only until noon. Only milk chocolate is excluded, which can be replaced with dark chocolate.

High-quality drinking water can be consumed in unlimited quantities; drink as much as your body needs. You can add salt to taste, but it is not recommended to add too much salt to your food. Sugar must be replaced with brown or unrefined sugar and consumed only before noon. It should be noted that if you are preparing food for other family members who adhere to a regular diet, then if possible, try not to taste the food.

You should have lunch around one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Some restrictions apply during lunch hours. Fried foods should be avoided. Consumption of mayonnaise and sour cream should be limited to one teaspoon (and only before 14.00); other sauces, spices and seasonings are not limited. Soups are good during lunch - without using potatoes they are boiled in meat broth, and with them - only in water. It is better to eat fish and meat of low-fat varieties and boiled. It is not advisable to mix meat with pasta and potatoes.

During lunch, it is recommended to add fruits to your diet: pineapples, citrus fruits, watermelon, prunes, plums, kiwis and apples. But you shouldn’t get carried away with bananas and grapes. You should also definitely eat boiled or stewed vegetables.

Dinner must take place before 18.00. If you are used to having dinner, for example, at nine o’clock, then you need to gradually accustom your body to the new meal time, having dinner half an hour earlier every day. Portions should not be excessively large; salt and spices are added in limited quantities. The consumption of mushrooms, peas, corn, eggplants, potatoes, as well as any fried foods is excluded. It is better to stew fish and meat in water; adding a small amount of soy sauce is allowed.

You can also consume fermented milk products. It is worth noting that if you follow this nutritional system, it is not at all necessary to overload your body with intense sports, but you need to devote some time to exercises or gymnastics. Choose the type of physical activity you like - walking or cycling, exercise equipment and others. Before following this diet, you should seek medical advice.

The principle of the “minus 60” diet is quite simple, although it requires compliance with some rules:

To achieve success in losing weight, it is very important to prepare yourself psychologically, not to put off this decision until tomorrow or in a week, but to start right now.
It is necessary to consistently rebuild your eating habits, introducing healthy foods into your daily diet and eliminating junk foods. You should also avoid large portions.
Products should be selected depending on the time. Almost all foods are allowed to be consumed up to 12 o'clock. But starting from lunchtime, a number of restrictions are introduced, compliance with which is mandatory.

How many kilograms can you lose weight using the “Minus 60” system?

Each person is individual, depending on how strictly you approach your diet, the loss of extra pounds will depend. On average, you can get rid of 2–7 kg in a month. Ekaterina lost 60 kg in six months and got rid of another 10 within six months.

Remember, this is not a diet, this is a nutritional principle that you must follow constantly. At first it will seem difficult, but gradually you will understand what your body requires of you. Don't expect the scales to show the desired number in just two days.

Rules of the minus 60 diet

Rules of the “minus 60” diet:

You need to eat food at least 3 times a day.
The plate should be large enough to fit two fists.
Sweets should be removed from the menu. You are allowed to eat 2 squares of dark chocolate, two cookies, or one marshmallow. You can also have fruit for dessert.
The diet provides for three main approaches to the table. You can't have a snack.
There are no recommendations regarding drinking regime. They drink water whenever they want and in any quantity.
Salt is not excluded from the diet, but its amount is kept to a minimum. It is better to use sea salt for cooking.
You cannot eat after 18-00. If you haven’t been able to have dinner before this time, then you simply refuse the last meal, waiting for breakfast.
Provided that a breakdown occurs and the person has eaten too large a portion, there is no need to take any special measures. It is important to try to avoid such situations.
If the specified serving size is not enough to fill you up, it should be increased. Products can only be taken from the list of permitted ones. In the future, portions should be reduced.
You definitely need to play sports. Daily workouts should last at least half an hour. This will allow you to lose weight more intensively and prevent it from “getting up.”
When a person loses weight quickly, they may develop stretch marks and sagging skin. To prevent this from happening, you need to use special creams and scrubs and massage problem areas.

Do's and don'ts

As has already been said, absolutely anything is possible. The only rule is in the first half of the day.

Important! It is better to exclude some foods if you feel that they make you sick. For some it may be dairy products, for others meat.

Below you will learn in a little more detail about the most controversial products and whether you can eat them or not, as well as under what conditions.

Alcohol . Drinking alcohol is not advisable, this is completely understandable. However, you can drink one or two glasses every two weeks. But it’s best not to drink everything and limit yourself to dry red or white wine. Strong drinks can harm not only your figure, but also your nervous and cardiovascular systems.
Sweet and floury. You can eat your favorite treats for breakfast. But remember that first you should eat normally, and only then move on to dessert. It is also better not to drink sweets with tea or coffee.
Pasta and potatoes . These products can be called neither useful nor harmful. But it’s still better to either exclude them or eat them for breakfast or lunch.

Principles of the Mirimanova diet

All advice can be found in books and on the official website of the author of the “System minus 60” program. Mirimanova shows everything from her own experience. What attracts everyone to this technique is that you don’t have to give up your favorite foods to lose weight. Do you want something fried? Please. Sweet? To your health. Can't live without coffee? And it is not necessary. The main thing is to know the fundamental principles that Ekaterina Mirimanova developed for “Minus 60 kg.”

You can't skip breakfast. It should start the work of the gastrointestinal tract. If you get up early and don't want to eat, you can easily eat a slice of cheese, for example. But then you need to make a second, hearty breakfast according to this system.
You can drink tea, coffee and alcohol, no matter how strange it may seem. There is no need to forbid the body from enjoying its favorite drinks. So you can only irritate him, and then you will break down anyway, it will be much worse. So don't skip these drinks, but drink wisely. Instead of sugar, add honey to tea. In coffee, replace regular sugar with brown sugar and reduce the dose. For alcohol, drink dry red wine. It is considered very useful in small quantities for blood vessels and the stomach.
You can eat sweets using the “Minus 60” system! If you really can't live without it. But only until 12:00. And butter cakes and milk chocolate should be avoided. Switch to dark chocolate. Learn aesthetics and sophistication. By gradually increasing the level of cocoa in chocolate and its quality, you will learn to feel the delicate taste of solid desserts.
You need to eat porridge throughout the day. Buckwheat and rice will be especially useful. Buy quality rice. Try the steamed one first; it tastes almost no different from the long-grained one. And then try brown, the healthiest, and wild.
In the menu for every day of the “Minus 60” system, it is not recommended to give up bread. Eat white bread in the morning. In the second, replace it with rye crackers or bread. And don't combine it with meat or potato dishes. That's the whole secret.
Diet Mirimanova considers potatoes and pasta to be dangerous foods. Accordingly, it is better to eat them in the morning, if you cannot refuse them at all. If you eat these dishes for lunch or dinner, you should clearly distinguish them from heavy foods, such as meat and fish or legumes.
Dinner should be early. No earlier than 17.00 and no later than 20.00, even if your schedule allows you to go to bed only in the middle of the night. This will allow you to feel light in the body in the morning and reduce swelling after sleep.
The “Minus 60” system in Mirimanova’s nutrition table offers suitable products. But you also need to calculate the lightness and volume of the portion. There is no need to combine several of these products if together they make a heavy dish.
The minus 60 diet includes recipes where fried foods can be included in the diet, but only for up to 12 hours. After this, other types of food processing (boiling, stewing, grilling, etc.) are suitable.

As for water, you don’t need to “pour” liters of it into yourself. You drink as much as your body requires. Of course, you shouldn't make yourself thirsty. But forcing fluid intake will not help you lose weight.

Psychology and motivation for losing weight

A person perceives the “minus 60” diet with a positive attitude, since it does not imply any prohibitions. Most foods are allowed to be eaten, but only at certain times. Author of the weight loss method E.

Mirimanova advises her followers to pay attention to the following postulates:

The main thing is to act consistently. Will is not the most important thing in this diet.
You need to lose weight for yourself, not for others.
You need to start losing weight right now, not later.
The diet does not require fanaticism, the proposed menu does not need to be cut down.
It will not be possible to achieve lightning-fast results.
Those who want will always find an opportunity, and those who do not want will always find a reason.
You need to forgive yourself for the weight you've gained.
The phrase “I can’t” must be forgotten.
You must always love yourself, even as you are now.

How to get out of a diet

You need to end any diet gradually. However, the big advantage of this particular diet is that you don’t have to quit it. You can get used to this lifestyle and diet and simply continue to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Note! In fact, the only rules that can be removed when you have already achieved results are to eat after 18:00. Or rather, take your last meal not strictly at this time, but several hours before bedtime.

To finally complete the diet, you will need:

gradually increase physical activity;
gradually add prohibited foods to your diet or allow yourself to eat them at any time (except in the evening, preferably);
drink a little more water than usual;
spend more time in the fresh air.

Self-care and exercise

In addition to following a diet, a person must take care of his body.

Here are some tips from the author of the technique:

It is necessary to play sports. There is no need to visit the gym at all. You can completely study at home. You should choose any convenient time for this; classes can take place even at night. The main thing is to train daily. This allows you to tone your muscles, increase your own performance and organization. Exercises should be chosen only those that you like. You can squat, jump rope, pump up your abs, and do bends. Let the workout last only 5 minutes. It is better to exercise at home with pleasure, but little by little, than to force yourself to go to the gym with an incredible effort of will. There will be much more benefits.
It is necessary to take care of your skin. Twice a week you should use a coffee scrub, treating your entire body, not just your face. It is necessary to use creams to moisturize the dermis and increase its tone. Shilajit is good for stretch marks.

Tips from Ekaterina Mirimanova

Ekaterina Mirimanova advises:

During the diet, you should not observe fasting days or perform any special cleansing of the body.
Fruits are not eaten at night. Preference should be given to vegetables.
You can eat cheese with red wine.
During the diet, you can take complexes - sources of vitamins and minerals.
You should not eat fried foods at lunch.
There should be at least 3 main meals during the day. If you are hungry, you can have a snack.

What to do if you break your diet

A breakdown is usually called overeating, a deviation from the rules of the system. For example, a person went to a party and started eating and drinking prohibited foods at a late time. Sometimes the breakdown lasts for several days, and there is no way to return to the eating regimen.

If you have a breakdown during the minus 60 diet, you don’t need to reproach yourself, call yourself bad names, go hungry or have any other fasting day. This is just a nuisance, you need to accept the problem, try not to do this again and immediately return to the diet. If the breakdown occurred in the evening, then have breakfast in the usual way. If the consumption of forbidden food happened during the day, then you can exclude dinner or make it as light as possible in terms of calories (a glass of kefir or a couple of cucumbers, a tomato or a little cottage cheese).

About the advantages of the chosen method of losing weight

It’s hard to find a minus in Katya Mirimanova’s diet. But there are many advantages here:

All women can follow the diet, regardless of age.
Even with identified health problems, such a diet will not worsen the condition, but, on the contrary, will help strengthen the immune system. After all, an important part of the digestive system, the intestines, is responsible for it.
Here you won’t have to waste time counting calories, and you won’t have to limit yourself to 12.00 at all.
Throughout the entire period of eating according to Mirimanova’s recommendations, the body does not experience exhaustion. Also, women and men are not at risk of nervousness, overstrain, weakness, or apathy. This allows you to constantly adhere to the tips described in detail by the author.
The diet rules do not conflict with the requirements of the World Health Organization and the domestic Ministry of Health. In both cases, a full dinner must be completed before 18.00.
The amount of liquid drunk is determined individually, according to the body’s requirements.

It’s worth trying for at least one week to eat according to the listed rules in order to significantly improve the condition of your body and start losing weight, as Ekaterina Mirimanova did.

Contraindications

The “Minus 60” diet cannot be followed in the following cases:

During pregnancy and breastfeeding.
For diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
If you have diabetes.
For pathologies of the liver, gall bladder, gastritis and stomach.
Under the age of 18.
During periods of acute infectious diseases.
During the recovery period after surgery or after an injury.
For metabolic disorders that require medical attention.

Advantages

Despite the fact that all diets are restrictive in some way, they all carry certain benefits. For example, the minus 60 diet according to the system of Ekaterina Mirimanova is famous for the following advantages:

balanced and correct diet;
you lose weight gradually, so your body does not experience stress;
There are practically no prohibited foods on this diet;
breakdowns are possible, but not terrible (sometimes you can even deliberately break the rules and give yourself a “fasting” day from the diet);
in the morning you can eat almost anything you want, including flour and sweets;
no need to count calories;
an effective and efficient diet that actually works.

Reviews and results of losing weight

This nutrition system is great for those who have patience and do not crave results immediately. Although the “minus 60” diet is quite long, the achieved result lasts much longer, and with proper nutrition, the lost kilograms do not return at all. The advantages of the minus 60 diet include its softness and balance. Reviews can be found to the contrary - both positive and negative.

Ekaterina: “At first I decided to try this diet, but I gave it up very quickly. I don’t understand this approach where you can eat whatever you want before lunch. What happens - you can have 10 plates in the morning? I don’t see the point.”

Elena: “This diet really helps you lose weight. I not only got rid of 10 kg, but I have also been maintaining my weight for six months. At the same time, I don’t limit myself too much, but I don’t accumulate fat.”

Veronica: “The author of the diet suffered from excess weight since childhood, and after giving birth she gained a lot of weight. But the diet helped not only Catherine, but also many of her followers to lose weight. I'm one of them. In six months I managed to lose 10 kg, a very good result. I’m not in a hurry to lose weight quickly – that’s right. It seems to me that this diet is the best and is not harmful to health.”

Irina: I started following this diet, but after a while I stopped. I absolutely do not understand the fact that you are allowed to eat everything up to 12 o’clock, and then observe some restrictions. That is, you can eat ten plates of food in the morning? In my opinion, this is pointless.

Victoria: Personally, I don’t lose weight using this system, but I follow it when I need to maintain weight. It seems to help, no weight gain. I especially like the extensive diet.

Svetlana: I lost about 20 kilograms in seven months using this system. Either this technique is so effective, or it’s just perfect for me.

Cons of the diet

You will need to rearrange your daily routine and schedule for all meals by the hour, workouts, and self-care.
On evening dates and celebrations you will have to limit yourself to a glass of wine and a light snack.
Contraindications are diseases with certain therapeutic dietary restrictions. Also, during pregnancy, it is better to consult a doctor.
This system is not a recommendation from a professional nutritionist. Nutritionists criticize allowing sweet, salty, fried foods. They consider pasta and potatoes to be normal food. The same goes for legumes and canned vegetables. Many professionals condemn three meals a day, and such that you can eat as much as you want. They vote for multiple meals in small portions. In general, the nutrition system contradicts many established canons in the world of weight loss.

But no matter what the critics say, this diet helped Mirimanova lose as much as 60 kg! And now there are many positive reviews from followers of this diet.
