More than 80% of girls around the world face this problem excess weight, having a slight or significant deviation from the norm. The reasons for the appearance of hated kilograms are different - improper and irregular eating, lack of sports, sedentary sedentary work, stress, the period after pregnancy. For girls who want to lose weight without harm to their health, cleanse the body, and consolidate the results, the “Lose Weight in a Week” program has been created. Leovit products were developed by professional nutritionists to provide the body with the necessary substances during the weight loss process.

Nutrition system “Lose weight in a week” from Ksenia Borodina

The weight loss program advertised by Ksenia Borodina has become widespread. A huge advantage of this complex is that a girl who is losing weight almost doesn’t have to cook on her own, weigh food and count calories - everything is done in advance, packaged in convenient sealed bags and distributed over time. Low-calorie foods, which are the basis of the nutrition system, are consumed in small portions, which allows you not only to lose weight, but also to get used to eating food in small quantities.

It is important to understand that the daily calorie intake while following this regimen will not exceed 500, so the creators of the program advise additionally preparing some foods for the main dishes of the “chests” (weight loss kits). Cooking foods (some boiled meat, eggs, etc., depending on the type of menu) will increase your daily energy level to 1000 kcal. Before starting a dietary course of nutrition for weight loss, you should definitely consult with your attending physician to avoid undesirable consequences.

Stage 1 – Cleansing the body

Nutritionists who have developed products for the Leovit company advise starting with the first stage of losing weight in a week - cleansing. You should not skip it, because before burning weight it is important to get rid of harmful substances and toxins that have accumulated in the body for a long time. The cleansing process will begin from the intestines, so many girls may experience an increased urge to defecate in the first days. Then liver function is normalized by reducing cholesterol levels. The result will be a significant cleansing of the body, as a result – an improvement in the condition of the skin.

All “chests” represent a five-day course of nutrition for every day, the remaining two days you need to consume food with plant components and protein. If after completing the course you did not feel significant changes or did not strictly follow the cleansing phase, you should repeat the program again before starting weight loss. It is advisable to take a break while using the “Lose Weight in a Week” system for seven to fourteen days. When there is a pause between courses, you need to eat small portions of healthy food 5-6 times a day. A probeless tube promotes cleansing, see photo:

In this case, the girl is asked to choose from four types of menus containing different dishes: this is traditional Russian cuisine, a set of various main dishes, a Mediterranean complex with meals European countries and a non-strict vegetarian menu. During this stage, thanks to the fat-burning elements of the “chest”, you will be able to effectively lose weight and get rid of excess weight.

We are losing weight together with Ksenia Borodina. About diets, pills, sports, style and... women's happiness

"Hello! Help me lose weight!” – my acquaintances and friends exclaim every now and then when they meet. This is instead of the usual question: “How are you?” It’s no secret that I had problems with excess weight even before pregnancy, and during it, with my huge belly, I gave the impression of a real fatty. Therefore, when after giving birth I lost a lot of weight, I immediately created a sensation. She excited many, starting with Yana Rudkovskaya and ending with my mother, who once, having called me from Italy for what seemed like a different reason, at the end of the conversation still could not resist: “Ksyusha, so what should I do to lose excess weight? ?.

Quite slender women were also interested in this, which once again proves: THE ISSUE OF WEIGHT LOSS is a painful one, it concerns IF NOT EVERYONE, THEN ALMOST EVERYONE.

At some point, I began to think of myself as a person standing at the subway with a sign: “Do you want to lose weight? Ask me “how”?”

And then I thought about the book. Taking up pen was hardly easier than losing weight: like many mothers, I am torn between having a child and working. Nevertheless, I decided.

Moreover, there were scammers who began to deceive people in my name.

“Ksenia Borodina’s mysterious way of losing weight” interested more and more people. It got to the point that many actresses, singers and TV presenters turned to me for help, although not directly, but through mutual friends

Yes, they were also involved in the birth of this book. As soon as the media trumpeted the “miracle of Ksenia Borodina,” unscrupulous citizens unknown to me filled the Internet with various banners and all sorts of false blogs. For a fee, they offered to reveal the secret of my diet. Frankly charlatan proposals appeared like: “Oh God! All nutritionists in the world are shocked! Click the link, pay 50 rubles, and you will learn how to lose 10 kilograms in two hours.”

I saw banners advertising some kind of “Borodina’s cucumber diet” and other strange recipes that boggled the imagination. What really shocked me was a message in one of the supposedly “official” blogs: Ksenia Sobchak revealed to Ksenia Borodina her secret “enema diet,” which (if you do enemas every evening) promises instant weight loss. Because of these damn enemas, I became an object of ridicule. But Ksyusha and I have never discussed the topic of losing weight, much less through enemas!

When I became a TV presenter, the label “fat” stuck tightly to me. I know plumper actresses and silver screen stars, but for some reason no one calls them fat. But journalists constantly wrote about me: “Ksenia Borodina, constantly experiencing problems with excess weight...”.

I am short, only 165 centimeters tall. For people like me, every extra kilogram is noticeable: unnecessary centimeters are visible at the waist, “hanging” sides catch the eye. But it’s not just that: the TV screen visually “adds” about seven kilograms. In the image, the body stretches in breadth, and any person seems fuller than he really is. I looked like an overly plump girl. People who were only familiar with my on-screen image, seeing me in real life, were surprised: “Wow, you’re not fat at all!”

I hate that swindlers, hiding behind my name, mislead people

And yet, at various periods of my life, I really experienced problems with excess weight. I was able to solve them successfully. I love that now I am so slim and petite. I want to remain like this in the future. The main thing is that I came to my current weight naturally, while remaining a healthy person. I did not resort to express methods, cucumbers, or enemas. After all, losing weight is work, a system.

I want to help women get in shape, like I did, and at the same time stop the ugly tricks of scammers. In this book I will share my knowledge about proper nutrition And physical activity. I’ll tell you which methods are really effective and what you absolutely should not do. Excess weight problems are largely psychological problems. Therefore, I write not only about my struggle with extra pounds, but also about how I lived after becoming a TV presenter.

I. Psychology

The story of the pills

Before starting the story of my weight loss, I must tell you how the problem with extra pounds arose in the first place. This story happened to me several years ago, at the beginning of my television career.

All my adult life I dreamed of becoming a TV presenter. I dreamed of this work in my dreams and in reality, sent offers of cooperation to all well-known TV channels. My letters remained unanswered, no one was interested in my resume, and going to castings did not bring the desired result.

At some point, I despaired and decided to move to Italy - my parents live there - and, perhaps, find myself in the specialty that I received at the Institute of Hotel Management and Tourism. I am a certified tourism manager. And suddenly, at the moment when my plane was boarded, I received a phone call that turned out to be fateful. On the other end of the line was a TNT employee who announced that I had passed the casting for presenters and I should come to the channel’s office.

Of course, I didn’t fly to any Italy, but rushed towards an old dream. My parents were not happy with the changeability of my decisions, but knowing what this proposal meant for me, they resigned themselves.

When I finally got to the Dom-2 project, I was truly happy. I had to host the show with Ksenia Sobchak herself and I didn’t want to lose in front of her. I tried to demonstrate professionalism: not only to be a great presenter and an interesting conversationalist, but also to look good on camera. And this is where the problems began.

I've always been great in photographs. And I couldn’t even imagine how much the video camera “dislikes” and distorts my appearance. No matter how thin I actually was, I always looked large and well-fed on camera. In general, the TV clearly does not decorate the TV presenter. Something urgently needed to be done about this.

And then I decided to try to lose a couple of kilograms. Now I clearly know: in order to lose weight, you need to work hard. But then, like many girls, I believed that you could lose weight without making any serious efforts.

One of the easiest weight loss options offered on the Internet is pills. And I chose this path.

I went to the pharmacy and bought very popular and, by the way, expensive Chinese pills to reduce appetite. It is believed that this is a completely harmless remedy for the body. So I also thought: nothing bad will happen if I take them. And I was cruelly mistaken: this drug really ruined my life.

The first couple of days I took the pills and felt absolutely nothing. Soon the feeling of hunger began to subside, then disappeared. In the mornings it seemed to me that my stomach was full and I didn’t feel like eating at all. I was happy: the weight began to drop rapidly. In just a week I lost four to five kilograms. That is, even more than I originally planned.

But I’ve been so sick all this week!

First of all, I couldn't sleep. As it turned out, the pills they gave were very sweet by-effect– acted like energy drinks.

I lay in bed all night with my eyes open and counted not the elephants or even the lost kilograms, but the minutes until I got up. Every morning I had to go to work and broadcast. Since I couldn’t fall asleep on time, I didn’t get enough sleep. I tried going to bed earlier. Useless. In the evenings I was overcome by a wave of some kind of insurmountable and inexplicable fear. I couldn't do anything to calm myself down. It was terrible!

Secondly, during the entire period of taking the pills and for several days after I stopped, I was in such a nervous state, as if I had stable, incessant PMS. At work, I constantly lost my temper and shouted at everyone. In short, she turned into a hysteric and became disgusted with herself. What can I say about those around me - I tormented them with my fits! Perhaps someone thought that “star fever” had awakened in me, but this was not so: the pills were the reason for everything. And I was no longer happy with the weight I had lost, I just wanted to get some sleep and stop being nervous.

I stopped taking these pills. Only a week after this, my appetite returned and normal sleep was restored. Everything would have been fine, but then I was overtaken by retribution for what I had done: the kilograms that quickly left me returned just as quickly, taking my friends with them. No matter what I ate, I still gained weight: I could, for example, sit all day on water and apples, and wake up in the morning and step on the scales to find more and more kilograms.

I was “unraveling” before my eyes. It seemed that nothing could stop the merciless weight gain. And with my height and the “television effect”, each extra kilogram was visually multiplied by two.

Problems started at work. The producer of the project drew attention to my appearance: “Ksyusha, the contract states that you should not weigh more than 50 kg, but you have clearly gained weight. We need to work on ourselves." I didn’t do anything extra that would cause me to gain weight: after I stopped taking the pills, I didn’t overeat and didn’t allow myself to eat fast foods. But there is nothing to argue with: there really was excess weight.

It was obvious that something had to be done. I joined a fitness club, went swimming, tried different diets.

Because of the pills, some changes occurred in the body, and I could not win this unequal battle with the damned kilograms...

It was as if they were tightly attached to me. In addition, a new problem appeared - my face began to swell! It was impossible to drink even a glass of water at night: in this case, in the morning I would wake up swollen and terribly ugly.

Now I only remember it as nightmare, but then it seemed to me that I would live in this hell forever. I didn't know what to do. And then I began to figure out what was the reason for the negative impact of diet pills on my body. To be honest, I was horrified.

It turns out that in many countries, thanks to the efforts state committees By medical drugs, medications that suppress the feeling of hunger are massively banned.

At the end of the 20th century, a drug for the treatment of obesity, which provokes acquired heart defects and pulmonary hypertension, was withdrawn from sale in the United States. We included it in the list of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, the circulation of which is prohibited. In Britain, due to serious side effects, two drugs that can cause cardiovascular problems, depression, insomnia, mood swings and even mental disorders. Simultaneously with the ban on sales, more than two dozen anti-obesity drugs ready for clinical trials were put on the shelf by manufacturers.

In the USA, as in Russia, such tablets can be bought with a prescription in pharmacies and freely on the Internet.

However, gullible customers are largely to blame for the current situation. By shifting all responsibility for our weight loss to pills - and there are quite a lot of drugs based on sibutramine - we are trying to deny human nature itself.

Of course, you want to believe in a miracle that will instantly solve your problem, but this is unlikely to happen. In addition, no one is stopping us from carefully studying the instructions, where the manufacturer honestly writes about all possible side effects. No one is stopping you from visiting a doctor before taking miracle pills that belong to the anorectics group.

Some data indicate that sibutramine is contained in high concentrations (significantly exceeding the permissible limit) in the very tablets that I took at the start of my television career. The manufacturer describes the composition of the drug as natural: supposedly it contains crushed Indian lotus leaves, seeds and roots of other plants that improve well-being and metabolism, tonic cola fruits and guarana.

Maybe this is deceit, or maybe I once came across a fake that contains components different from the original composition. It’s difficult to judge now, but the fact remains: you need to be extremely careful with pills. Those who lose weight with their help experience dry mouth, heart pain, and increased blood pressure. Bad breath gets worse. Considering all this, you should resort to drug treatment for excess weight only if you are already desperate to lose weight using traditional methods. In this case, consultation with a doctor is required.

You need to understand well: many appetite regulators contain psychotropic substances that suppress the feeling of hunger by affecting the satiety center in the brain. Such drugs affect the psyche and mood, and unnaturally stimulate the body’s tone. One of the side effects is a depressed, even depressed state.

The tablets reduce appetite due to the main component – ​​it is an antagonist of endocannabinoid receptors. That is, in essence, the drug is hemp (cannabis) in reverse: a person does not want to eat, and he is in a bad mood. They wrote that there were even several suicides while taking the drug. It is not surprising that such tablets are prohibited in the United States - the advice of the American Food and Drug Association (FDA) made appropriate recommendations.

You yourself understand that the result depends on many factors, including the strength of your appetite, diet and amount of physical activity.

In some cases, such pills can be recommended for emergency weight loss. Then the duration of taking the drug should not exceed two weeks. To protect your sleep at this time, you can take the medicine only in the morning, as well as eliminating caffeine-containing products from your diet - coffee, tea, chocolate. But remember that, as a rule, after you stop taking it, the lost kilograms return. This is how the body takes in everything that it did not receive when the appetite was artificially suppressed. Indeed, in the process of forcibly reducing the feeling of hunger, there was a sharp

the supply of everything that the body is accustomed to is limited.

The consequences of a sharp change in the mental status of a person who has resorted to such a medicine cannot be underestimated. Unfortunately, science has not yet fully explored human body, his reactions and instincts. Scientists are identifying more and more new mechanisms for controlling appetite and, at the same time, the consequences of their use. That is why one cannot be completely confident in the safety of the effects of anorectics on appetite, especially in the long term.

The safest are “hunger suppressants” made from plant components and enhanced with vitamins. If the package or instructions in the “Composition” column list birch buds and leaves, burdock root, garcinia cambogia fruits, poria coconut, ascorbic acid and other vitamins and herbs, the drug will most likely not cause harm.

If you run into a fake or an unscrupulous manufacturer who mixes herbs with chemicals, then no one will compensate for the damage caused to health

However, there is no guarantee that capsules containing powder from plant leaves and roots will be effective.

In addition to appetite suppressant pills, there are a lot of drugs on the market that block the absorption of fats and carbohydrates. It is also easier for people who are unable to consciously limit themselves to overly nutritious and very tasty foods to lose weight with such drugs. However, such treatment for obesity has the same disadvantages as editorial diets that exclude certain groups of nutrients from the diet.

There is a fairly popular remedy, the principle of which is to prevent the body from absorbing all the fats that come with food, and therefore fat-soluble vitamins, for example, A, D and E. The drug also contains microcellulose, which is obtained from processed cotton. In some ways, it is similar in properties to fiber; in particular, it creates the illusion of satiety by swelling in the stomach and removes toxins.

However, microcellulose collects and removes from the body both harmful and useful substances - both vitamins and microelements. Pure microcellulose gives good weight loss, but women who consume it begin to develop anemia due to the depletion of the body. Girls I know who took this drug noted that it did not have the most favorable effect on stool: they had to run to the toilet more often and endure bloating. Widely advertised calorie blockers that interfere with the absorption of carbohydrates also have similar side effects to varying degrees.

Another broad category of drugs that promote weight loss are the so-called fat burners. Of course, they do not burn nutrients in the literal sense of the word, but to some extent activate metabolism and accelerate the breakdown of fats supplied with food. You need to be aware that most of these pills will only work effectively (!) in combination with diet and physical activity.

One of the powerful fat burners is the aggressive triiodine thyronine, produced in the body by the thyroid gland. Preparations with this substance, which accelerates metabolism, are even used by bodybuilders who actively lose weight before competitions. It helps athletes increase muscle relief, but also puts additional work on the heart.

Let me emphasize once again: regulars on weight loss forums do not have the proper qualifications to give advice. Be sure to consult your doctors!

Although if you look at the figures of bodybuilders between competitions, you can understand how quickly the lost weight comes back.

It is also worth remembering that the techniques and tricks used in professional sports are completely unsuitable for ordinary people: the lifestyle and challenges are too different.

Many nutritionists recommend that those losing weight take medications with bromelain. This substance is found in pineapples and papaya, but in tropical fruits the concentration of the substance is not very high, so it makes no sense to eat even kilograms of them. Drinking several liters of pineapple juice a day also seems to me to be ineffective, so it is much easier and more convenient to take the plant extract in medicinal form.

Bromelain is a catalyst metabolic processes, improves protein absorption and blood quality indicators, reduces tissue swelling and even has an anti-inflammatory effect. It also has the ability to have a positive effect on the pH, that is, the acidity level of the stomach and small intestine. If after tests you and your doctor see that the body does not synthesize enough protein-digesting enzymes pepsin and trypsin, you will most likely be prescribed medications with bromelain. It is sold in pharmacies and is available without a prescription.

A lot of them are sold in Russia food additives, having the status of biologically active additives (BAA) and not being medicines. Unfortunately, dietary supplements also cannot be considered a panacea for excess weight. According to professional nutritionists, most of these products are completely ineffective and even dangerous.

For example, many weight loss teas have diuretic and laxative effects. Instead of helping the body process nutrients efficiently, they simply expel water. Naturally, up to a certain point, a person drinking this tea will experience weight loss. But at what price does it come and what can it lead to? Even a short “medicinal” tea course is accompanied by constant diarrhea and endless trips to the toilet.

If the intestines are quickly freed from most of the contents, if all the tissues give up fluid and it leaves the body with urine, from 3 to 5 kilograms will be lost per day. But these are not the kilograms that you need to get rid of - while losing weight, the body needs more water than usual. As soon as the digestive tract is filled with food and the body begins to replenish its moisture reserves, the lost pounds will return again. The deprived body will urgently replenish the losses.

The kidneys and intestines, accustomed to external stimulation, will begin to become lazy, the body will swell and become clogged. Due to the desire to lose weight with the help of poor quality tea, you can bring yourself to the same state as that of an exhausted patient with dysentery. So be sure to gather information about the tea you are going to buy, discuss it with your weight loss buddies and, of course, with your doctor.

In case of prolonged use of tea, there is a serious risk of complications in the digestive tract and organs regulating water metabolism.

The ancient art of aromatherapy can also help in getting rid of extra pounds. The action of weight loss sprays is partly based on it.

In my opinion, in our thoroughly chemical times, it is worth making the most of natural aromatic oils, which are sold in pharmacies and specialized stores.

Here is a list of the aromas we need that have a positive effect on the well-being of those losing weight: these are anise, orange, basil, bergamot, valerian, verbena, cloves, geranium, grapefruit, oregano, spruce, jasmine, ylang-ylang, ginger, hyssop, cajuput, cedar, cypress , cinnamon, lavender, frankincense, leuzea, lemon, marjoram, mandarin, lemon balm, myrrh, myrtle, juniper, nutmeg, mint, neroli, patchouli, chamomile, rosemary, rose, as well as rose and tea tree, sandalwood, pine, thyme , sage, fennel, eucalyptus.

In addition, aromatherapy improves the quality of life, but it directly affects our mood!

If you want to help your body with aromatherapy, remember that real essential oils are not a cheap pleasure. In order to get a drop of this product, you need to process mountains of valuable plant materials. In the film based on Patrick Suskind's novel "Perfume" this process is demonstrated very clearly.

Cheap ampoules costing 50-100 rubles at best contain simple vegetable oil with a drop of ethereal, or even a synthetic analogue of smell. It is not difficult to bring the manufacturer to clean water: if the real essential oil drop onto paper and wait for it to evaporate; it will not leave a sticky, greasy stain.

Appreciate and love your body, your life, understand the nuances, ask for advice from professionals, and good news about the lost kilograms will not take long to arrive!

I can say that the sad story associated with taking popular diet pills at the beginning of my television career gave me important experience. You need to remember such things not only when losing weight, but also during any other qualitative changes in life: if you choose the simplest path, get ready for cruel retribution.

The first rule of my method can be formulated this way: forget about pills and other easy paths to normal weight and a beautiful figure.

Remember: your health is at stake!

Ksenia Borodina is known to most as an actress and host of the reality show “Dom-2”. She took part in the projects “Dancing with the Stars” and “Cruel Intentions”. The star looks great both on the floor and in sports competitions. Which is not surprising, since she is the author of a book about weight loss by Ksenia Borodina. The opus is called “Losing Weight with Ksenia Borodina.” This is not just a dry statement of facts. The book describes many everyday situations in which the reader could find himself.

The famous TV presenter had no intention of becoming a writer. She came to this decision after false information appeared on the World Wide Web about how she managed to quickly put herself in order. Scammers tried to profit from overweight women.

Stellar tips on how to start a diet:

• Consult a nutritionist to determine your ideal weight and determine how many pounds you need to lose.
• Do not make sudden changes in the nutrition system. Eat small portions, but more often. Count calories, the optimal amount per day is 1500.
• Even during fasting days Don't let yourself go hungry.
• Exercise regularly: running, walking, cycling, if you don’t have time to go to the gym.
• Listen to how you feel. Mild malaise and complaints about the digestive system indicate that it is time to reconsider your diet.
• Drink 2-2.5 liters of water per day.
• From alcoholic drinks You can only allow dry wine or mojito.
• Be confident in yourself and positive results. Develop a motivation system that works for you.

Borodina's book about losing weight - read

Borodina made the same mistakes as most girls losing weight. She took pills to satisfy her hunger, did not eat for days, tried different diets. As a result, the TV personality analyzed the mistakes made and formulated her own methodology:

• Eat crushed food saturated with water. This way the feeling of hunger will leave you for at least 4 hours. Prepare puree soups vegetable stew and meat, liquid porridges.
• Replace your usual foods with those that take longer to digest. Protein foods are especially useful.
• If you don't have time to cook healthy food, ready-made power systems will help.
• Remember the glass rule. Your portion should not be more than 200 ml.
• Forget about white bread, mayonnaise and other harmful things.
• If you can't completely give up chocolate, adjust the amount of calories from other foods.

Weight loss and modern technologies

It is important for a public person to look good. To achieve her goal, Borodina also tried some medical procedures.

Aesthetic mesotherapy has a positive effect on the health of hair and facial skin. Shallow subcutaneous injections successfully fight cellulite.

Colon hydrotherapy is indicated for severe obesity, pain in the intestines, and dysfunction of bowel movements. It's basically a very big enema.

LPG massage is an expensive pleasure, but effective. According to Borodina’s book on weight loss, which can be downloaded on the Internet, ridding the patient of excess fat deposits is not a problem for the device.

The writer has a negative attitude towards helminth therapy, as well as towards plastic surgery.

For a fee, they offered to reveal the secret of my diet. Frankly charlatan proposals appeared like: “Oh God! All nutritionists in the world are shocked! Click the link, pay 50 rubles, and you will learn how to lose 10 kilograms in two hours.”

I saw banners advertising some kind of “Borodina’s cucumber diet” and other strange recipes that boggled the imagination. What really shocked me was a message in one of the supposedly “official” blogs: Ksenia Sobchak revealed to Ksenia Borodina her secret “enema diet,” which (if you do enemas every evening) promises instant weight loss. Because of these damn enemas, I became an object of ridicule. But Ksyusha and I have never discussed the topic of losing weight, much less through enemas!

When I became a TV presenter, the label “fat” stuck tightly to me. I know plumper actresses and silver screen stars, but for some reason no one calls them fat. But journalists constantly wrote about me: “Ksenia Borodina, constantly experiencing problems with excess weight...”.

I am short, only 165 centimeters tall. For people like me, every extra kilogram is noticeable: unnecessary centimeters are visible at the waist, “hanging” sides catch the eye. But it’s not just that: the TV screen visually “adds” about seven kilograms. In the image, the body stretches in breadth, and any person seems fuller than he really is. I looked like an overly plump girl. People who were only familiar with my on-screen image, seeing me in real life, were surprised: “Wow, you’re not fat at all!”

I hate that swindlers, hiding behind my name, mislead people

And yet, at various periods of my life, I really experienced problems with excess weight. I was able to solve them successfully. I love that now I am so slim and petite. I want to remain like this in the future. The main thing is that I came to my current weight naturally, while remaining a healthy person. I did not resort to express methods, cucumbers, or enemas. After all, losing weight is work, a system.

I want to help women get in shape, like I did, and at the same time stop the ugly tricks of scammers. In this book I will share my knowledge about proper nutrition and exercise. I’ll tell you which methods are really effective and what you absolutely should not do. Excess weight problems are largely psychological problems. Therefore, I write not only about my struggle with extra pounds, but also about how I lived after becoming a TV presenter.

I. Psychology

The story of the pills

Before starting the story of my weight loss, I must tell you how the problem with extra pounds arose in the first place. This story happened to me several years ago, at the beginning of my television career.

All my adult life I dreamed of becoming a TV presenter. I dreamed of this work in my dreams and in reality, sent offers of cooperation to all well-known TV channels. My letters remained unanswered, no one was interested in my resume, and going to castings did not bring the desired result.

At some point, I despaired and decided to move to Italy - my parents live there - and, perhaps, find myself in the specialty that I received at the Institute of Hotel Management and Tourism. I am a certified tourism manager. And suddenly, at the moment when my plane was boarded, I received a phone call that turned out to be fateful. On the other end of the line was a TNT employee who announced that I had passed the casting for presenters and I should come to the channel’s office.

Of course, I didn’t fly to any Italy, but rushed towards an old dream. My parents were not happy with the changeability of my decisions, but knowing what this proposal meant for me, they resigned themselves.

When I finally got to the Dom-2 project, I was truly happy. I had to host the show with Ksenia Sobchak herself and I didn’t want to lose in front of her. I tried to demonstrate professionalism: not only to be a great presenter and an interesting conversationalist, but also to look good on camera. And this is where the problems began.

I've always been great in photographs. And I couldn’t even imagine how much the video camera “dislikes” and distorts my appearance. No matter how thin I actually was, I always looked large and well-fed on camera. In general, the TV clearly does not decorate the TV presenter. Something urgently needed to be done about this.

And then I decided to try to lose a couple of kilograms. Now I clearly know: in order to lose weight, you need to work hard. But then, like many girls, I believed that you could lose weight without making any serious efforts.

One of the easiest weight loss options offered on the Internet is pills. And I chose this path.

I went to the pharmacy and bought very popular and, by the way, expensive Chinese pills to reduce appetite. It is believed that this is a completely harmless remedy for the body. So I also thought: nothing bad will happen if I take them. And I was cruelly mistaken: this drug really ruined my life.

The first couple of days I took the pills and felt absolutely nothing. Soon the feeling of hunger began to subside, then disappeared. In the mornings it seemed to me that my stomach was full and I didn’t feel like eating at all. I was happy: the weight began to drop rapidly. In just a week I lost four to five kilograms. That is, even more than I originally planned.

But I’ve been so sick all this week!

First of all, I couldn't sleep. As it turned out, the pills had a very nice side effect - they acted like energy drinks.

I lay in bed all night with my eyes open and counted not the elephants or even the lost kilograms, but the minutes until I got up. Every morning I had to go to work and broadcast. Since I couldn’t fall asleep on time, I didn’t get enough sleep. I tried going to bed earlier. Useless. In the evenings I was overcome by a wave of some kind of insurmountable and inexplicable fear. I couldn't do anything to calm myself down. It was terrible!

Secondly, during the entire period of taking the pills and for several days after I stopped, I was in such a nervous state, as if I had stable, incessant PMS. At work, I constantly lost my temper and shouted at everyone. In short, she turned into a hysteric and became disgusted with herself. What can I say about those around me - I tormented them with my fits! Perhaps someone thought that “star fever” woke up in me, but this is not so: the pills are the reason for everything. And I was no longer happy with the weight I had lost, I just wanted to get some sleep and stop being nervous.

I stopped taking these pills. Only a week after this, my appetite returned and normal sleep was restored. Everything would have been fine, but then I was overtaken by retribution for what I had done: the kilograms that quickly left me returned just as quickly, taking my friends with them. No matter what I ate, I still gained weight: I could, for example, sit all day on water and apples, and wake up in the morning and step on the scales to find more and more kilograms.

The publishing house "Eksmo" published a book-revelation of the popular TV presenter and socialite Ksenia Borodina. As it turns out, Borodina’s “mysterious method” is based primarily on common sense. Unlike numerous Internet sites that attracted audiences by illegally using Ksenia’s name, Ksenia herself does not promise miracles. After all, in essence, a good figure is sanity and working on oneself. In order to be convinced of this, it is enough to read the chapters from the new book “Lose Weight with Ksenia Borodina.” We thank the publishing house "Eksmo" for providing readers of the site with the opportunity to be among the first to become acquainted with the contents of the book!

"Hard no!"

I often come across advertisements on the Internet like “To lose weight dramatically, you need to give up just three foods!” It is usually suggested to remove bread, sugar, and, for example, butter from the diet. These advertisements look very tempting: it would seem that you eat as much as you want, all the other foods, and lose weight. But, believe me, it doesn’t happen like that. A person loses weight by getting less energy from food than he needs, and not by choosing sources of this energy.

In all the diets that I recommend in the application, some foods are excluded that have a particularly detrimental effect on the body and contribute to rapid weight gain. But you cannot completely limit yourself, for example, in fats, so that you can eat a lot of sweets that contain carbohydrates. Without fats, the body will not be able to function normally; a person will simply get sick if he eats like this!

I watched as my friend Masha tried to eat, completely eliminating all flour and sweet foods from her diet. She decided that she would not eat chocolate, candy, cookies, spaghetti, dumplings, dumplings, buns, bread and many other terribly tasty things. And Masha, I must say, has a terrible sweet tooth!

When we were going to a restaurant as a group, she could order, for example, a creme caramel dessert and a milkshake, and then wait and order a second dessert - Napoleon or blueberry pie (I even remembered what she liked). Therefore, you can imagine what Masha doomed herself to. I asked her how she was going to maintain the necessary balance of carbohydrates in the body, Masha replied that she only had vegetables, fruits and cereals for this.

After some time, we met again, and Masha looked, although unhappy when she chose salad and tea in the cafe, but a little thinner. “It’s hard for me to resist eating a whole bar of chocolate. “I can’t limit myself to one piece,” she explained. “And when it’s completely impossible, then you don’t need to fight with yourself, no means no.” I was happy for my friend, but it turned out that it was premature. After some time we saw each other again and she had regained her previous weight. Moreover, she developed many problems from the food system she invented. Masha really did not eat sweets and starchy foods all this time. It was difficult for her at first, but she persevered. And then the cunning organism itself suggested ways to solve the problem posed to it.

Firstly, Masha is “addicted” to nuts. She did not forbid herself to eat them, because they are not floury or sweet. So one day she decided that nothing bad would happen if she ate only 50 grams of almonds. But instead of 50, I ate 100. But in terms of calories, 100 g of almonds is more than 100 g of Masha’s favorite chocolate. The same thing happened with cereals. At first, Masha ate porridge only for breakfast, and at lunch and dinner she tried to fill herself with meat and vegetables. But she lacked her favorite taste; Masha, unlike me, does not like meat at all. As a result, she also began to cook porridge for dinner, and in between meals, eat a bag of oatmeal. It is not difficult to guess that the amount of calories came out almost as much as from her double portions of desserts. She generously poured butter over the porridge (after all, that was also “possible”!), which made them even more satisfying.

Secondly, Masha constantly had a stomach ache. From an excessive amount of fruit (“it’s okay”), from Coca-Cola Light, from chewing gum with sweetener, which a friend chewed two packs a day without noticing. Ultimately, Masha had to stop this “diet” and switch to a normal diet - she began to work on eating less sweets, rather than giving them up completely.

Despite my friend’s sad experience, I don’t think that forbidden foods are not the answer. An alternative just needs to be invented.

Readers probably won’t believe me, but I adore the Tarragon drink. I know it’s disgusting and you shouldn’t drink it, but what can I do? I love it. I used to also be fond of Coca-Cola and Sprite, but decided to give them up. “Tarragon,” it seems, is also a chemical, but it doesn’t make your stomach swell so much, it doesn’t make you feel bad, and nothing hurts, like “Cola” and “Sprite.” Of all the carbonated evils, I chose the lesser. I also believe that it is quite possible to give up a product such as mayonnaise forever, especially if we are talking about its store-bought version. And instead, complement the food with ketchup, since you can’t live without sauces. Ketchup has much less fat than mayonnaise. Sweet tooth, try switching with chocolates to fruit ones. Meat lovers and sausages, replace the bold “Moscow” raw smoked sausage for boiled “Doctorskaya”. Fans of flour, switch from wheat bread to rye bread.

If you love chocolate - and it contains a lot of fat - and cannot give up this product, try limiting yourself to something else, for example, using a minimum of oil when cooking. Then you can regulate the amount of fat that enters your body daily. In order to learn how to replace some products with others, you need to know your tastes well (this is not difficult) and the properties of the products, and for this you have my book in your hands.

About emergency diets

I roughly divide diets into regular and emergency. I differentiate them by the number of calories the nutritionist suggests I consume per day. And also the time required for the diet to take effect.
An emergency diet is a few days of extremely moderate eating. A person eats enough every day to get only 1000 calories. This is very little, two times less than what even the smallest woman needs, and catastrophically little for a large lady.

Foods for an emergency diet can only be low-calorie - kefir, apples, those same notorious cucumbers that Internet scammers attribute to me, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, spinach, seaweed, and so on. With such a diet, the body rapidly loses weight, burning accumulated fats. And this, it would seem, is wonderful! But. Several problems appear at once.

Problem #1. No tone

If the body does not receive just 10-20% of the calories it needs, but the entire 50%, it becomes clearly unwell. A person who is losing weight feels lethargic, sleepy, and finds it difficult to concentrate. This is very bad, especially if the profession involves mental work. This effect can be slightly neutralized with coffee or energy drinks, but not for long.
In the first two or three days of a low-calorie diet, a cup of coffee will perk you up for a while, but from the third day you can at least take a shower with energy drinks - there will still be no effect. Complete lifelessness and pale appearance. One of my friends even fainted on the third day of such a diet!

Problem #2. No immunity

On the fourth to sixth day of a 1000-calorie diet, the immune system of a person losing weight weakens. Everyone knows that from food we get not only energy, but also many necessary elements - phosphorus, iron, magnesium and so on. Therefore, people on a low-calorie diet need to take additional vitamins. I insist - this is a must! Buy at least “ascorbic acid” at the pharmacy, or better yet, a full-fledged complex of vitamins.
Low-calorie diets are a very popular weight loss system. I didn’t keep statistics, but many of my friends and I myself tried one of them. And there were many cases when a girl, because of such a diet, caught a cold in the middle of the summer heat and for no particular reason, and as soon as she stopped losing weight, she recovered.

Problem #3. No result

After all the torment, when for a whole week you can’t really eat anything other than kefir, apples or cabbage, when you missed a birthday and a corporate party in order to lose weight, when your boss has already made two comments about how you’re not working well, the “X” moment comes. You step on the scales, and it turns out that the weight is taken - minus 4 kilograms, as ordered.
The next day you, so radiant, put on a tight dress, and at afternoon tea allow yourself a s-a-a-a-scarlet cake to celebrate the end of the diet. Well, nothing like that - the figure after him is in place, everything is fine. The next day, again satisfied with your moderate appetite, you again allow yourself one cake. And suddenly something crazy happens: you want more. You, knowing that you can’t, buy it, and then another one. Moderate appetite disappears as if by hand, and the next day you eat cakes, chocolates, spaghetti, dumplings, pies and buns.

Where does this come from, what kind of misfortune is this? Why did the weight lost over the previous week return within five days, and not only the 4 kilograms that were lost on the crash diet, but also an additional 2 kg suddenly settled on the hips? Oh horror, because the goal was completely different!

In addition, if the emergency diet works flawlessly for the first time, then after a few repetitions, the body gets used to such shocks and generally refuses to lose weight. All the symptoms are present, but the weight remains the same.
To lose weight urgently or not to lose weight? Well, we have to conclude: an emergency diet is only suitable in exceptional cases. If you are preparing for a beauty contest, or getting married, or going to the seaside with friends, one of whom you care about, then, of course, try it.

Yes, after a week of kefir or apple asceticism you will lose 4-5 kilograms. But then ask those around you not to be surprised that the beauty queen suddenly gained weight, warn your new husband that he married a future fat woman, and also that guy from the group of friends whom you seduced at sea, it’s better not to see him at all later show yourself.

I'll also add this. An emergency diet is better suited for girls whose work does not require enormous mental stress. Such weight loss measures are completely contraindicated for female students during the session. If you are a financial analyst, accountant, journalist, postpone the low-calorie diet until vacation or long weekend. A little the easier it is who works as a salesperson in a boutique, secretary, administrator in a store or club. You will feel lethargic, but you will be able to work, and there will be no problems with your boss.
Despite my rather negative attitude towards emergency diets, I will still give a couple of 1000-calorie diets that I or my friends have tried, which allow you to quickly lose up to 5 kg. See these diets in the “Appendix to the second part.”
