The author of the diet “Minus 60” is Russian Ekaterina Miramanova.  After  two unsuccessful marriages followed by divorces, she began asking questions what the reason was. She found it in her figure. Ekaterina managed to lose her weight with 60kg. Her weight was  120 kg. Now Ekaterina is a  happily married woman who enjoys her new body. She called the diet which she had  created “Minus 60kg”. She says that it is not a diet but the  philosophy of life. Ekaterina took down 60 kg for 1 year as she  notices-without destroying the elasticity of her skin!

The diet “Minus 60” doesn’t pertain to the diets for quick slimming-sooner it is a way of life, which   must be kept forever. As the adherents of the diet say : it is not difficult at all because the organism   and  the loss of dinner at the usual time  don’t look fatal. Later on the problem disappears at all!

What  is important for this diet?

You can eat everything  what you want before lunch without limitation in quantity.So don’t think if you want to eat a cake or roast meat, tea or ice cream. To 12 a.m. your stomach can enjoy  its  life.

Lunch at this regime of nutrition is about 1-2 o’clock-at this time you can eat vegetables stewed in  a drop of vegetable oil  as well as  easy vegetable soups.

Mayonnaise  or sour cream are allowed to 2 o’clock in the afternoon . You can eat sushi or any  sour dairy  products.

Dinner is the most responsible nutrition of the day. Firstly it must be finished to 5.30-5.45. Secondly the meals must be boiled or stewed with water, it can’t be fried.Thirdly some food is  limited. They are divided into three groups of which you can choose one and combine it with a product from another group to cook your dinner. For example fruit is combined with dairy products : you can cut fruit salad and pour some yogurt in it making a wonderful dinner. Vegetables are combined with dairy products and grains: you can cook rice with vegetable salad: don’t forget that meat products  and eggs don’t combine with anything else, but they can be combined in the frame of the group: you may eat boiled chicken and an egg.

One of the quiestions gathered head for people who don’t dare to use the system “Minus 60”  is what to do if you go to be a guest after 6 p. m.
