Recommendations before losing weight
When the singer got serious about losing weight, she encountered some difficulties. She needed to quickly lose 16 kg, but psychologically the girl was not prepared for dietary restrictions and drastic lifestyle changes. To make it easier for her fans to lose weight, the girl suggests preparing for the process in advance. For example, start gradually eliminating harmful foods from your menu in advance. Since it is quite difficult to suddenly stop enjoying your favorite fast food and sweets.
The singer also recommends understanding your main motivation. For example, buy yourself a dress a couple sizes smaller, new jeans or a swimsuit. Another interesting option is to promise yourself a reward for each new number on the scale. The main thing is that the prize is not forbidden food. This could be a trip to the spa, a new book, a meeting with friends, body care products.
You should immediately tune in to the result and forget about all the indulgences. The more confident the psychological attitude of the person losing weight is, the better the result he will be able to achieve.
To make the whole process more positive, it is worth purchasing beautiful small plates. Full dishes give the feeling of a large portion, which makes it easier to fill up. It is desirable that the plates be bright blue.

pros
The star diet has many advantages. First of all, this is the already noted lack of hunger. This plus distinguishes Ani Lorak’s nutrition from many other diet options. Eating is allowed even in the evening. Only dinner should be light and low in calories.
The diet has other advantages:
- The result of losing weight is very clear and noticeable quickly if all the basic rules are followed. It is important to try to avoid breakdowns and not to forget about physical activity.
- With such nutrition, the body is saturated with useful substances. If a person previously had a problem with vitamin deficiencies (they are difficult to get from fast food and sweets), now it will disappear.
- Diet improves well-being. After about 2-3 days, you will begin to get used to the new diet and become more energetic. The correct menu replenishes a person’s energy resources.
- In the process, the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract improves. This is primarily influenced by the absence of harmful products on the menu. As well as a large number of vegetables and herbs.
- Those who are losing weight will spend significantly less time preparing food. Often it is enough to send the meat product to cook and mix a light salad.
If you prepare light, healthy treats in advance, you will free up a lot of time. These could be containers with chopped vegetables, mixed nuts, healthy sandwiches. The main thing when preparing your meals is to strictly follow the principles of the diet.
Difficult childhood

Minuses
The diet also has some disadvantages. The main disadvantage is the exclusion of sweets and many favorite treats from the menu. You can’t eat flour, fried foods, or most desserts. But you can choose for yourself several options for permitted tasty treats. For example, based on berries.
There are several other disadvantages of the diet:
- you will have to carefully monitor your menu and prepare it in advance;
- You will need to constantly pay attention to the quality of products, try to choose everything as fresh, natural, and healthy as possible;
- in the first 1-3 days there may be discomfort without the usual dishes until the body begins to get used to it.
Diet rules
Ani Lorak’s diet, the 7-day menu of which is hearty and nutritious, consists of several basic rules.
You will definitely need to adhere to them:
- You will need to completely remove all high-calorie desserts, flour, fried foods, and fast food from your diet. You cannot drink alcohol during the singer’s diet. Especially any beer. Such foods and drinks have a detrimental effect not only on the figure, but also on the entire body as a whole.
- You need to strictly monitor your drinking regime. Without enough water in the body, the weight loss process will be incomplete. In addition, liquid is important for the normal functioning of the body, vitality and beauty of the skin. You will need to drink at least 2 liters of water per day. Then there will be enough fluid to efficiently remove waste and toxins from the body. Ani recommends drinking only before or after meals, and not during it.
- For drinks, you should only leave plain water. Or its mixture with citruses, cucumber, mint. Tea and coffee (especially in strong form) worsen the condition of human skin and accelerate the aging process in the body. Therefore, it is worth excluding them at least for the duration of the diet.
- To avoid puffiness in the morning, you should give up water and food about 3 hours before bedtime. And the last meal should be healthy, low-calorie. So, fermented milk products are perfect for this. For example, kefir.
- To strengthen the immune system, it is recommended to take high-quality multivitamin complexes along with the diet.
Meal after 2 hours
One of the main principles of Ani Lorak’s diet is fractional meals. The girl is sure that you can lose weight only by getting up from the table slightly hungry. There should be no heaviness in the stomach or a feeling of unpleasant excessive satiety. Meals should be according to a careful schedule. Breakfasts are the heartiest, and dinners are light and low in calories. There will be snacks between the three main meals. In general, you should eat every 2 hours.
The portions should be about the size of a handful, which you can scoop up with your own hand. The soup should be poured into small cups; for the second, choose miniature plates. This type of nutrition allows you to quickly lose weight. It normalizes metabolism and digestion.
One serving of Lorak itself does not exceed 70-100 g. But the girl recommends taking into account the initial weight of the person losing weight. Also, a man will need to increase portions so as not to feel very hungry after eating.
Fasting day
To make the diet as effective as possible, Lorak also arranges a fasting day once a week. His girlfriend also makes him satisfying. The menu for a fasting day is made up of dairy products and fruits/vegetables. For example, it could be kefir and apples or cottage cheese and assorted vegetables.
You will also need to eat in small portions approximately every 2 hours. One serving should not exceed 70 g. In total, up to 7 meals per day. Ani Lorak herself recommends eating porridge with fruit, boiled fish, grated vegetables and vegetable soups, apples, and cabbage salad during the fasting day.
