who lost weight on a protein diet
Olga Buzova: Hello, Marina! Glad to see you again. The Seychelles has gained a lot since your arrival here. The beauty has definitely increased!
Marina Afrikantova: Thank you, Olya! I take your words as an assessment of my recent achievements. Believe me, in order to return to the project in this form, I had to spend a lot of effort.
Olga Buzova: Why did the breakup happen?
Marina Afrikantova: I don’t want to talk. It's very personal.
Olga Buzova: Sorry for the assumption. Maybe the gap occurred due to completeness?
Marina Afrikantova: No, on the contrary, I began to gain weight due to the fact that our relationship began to quickly deteriorate. Quarrels began to arise, scandals broke out. And like many women, I stupidly ate my stress. And if you consider that I am generally inclined to be overweight, the weight began to grow rapidly.
Olga Buzova: I noticed this. Just recently you were, to put it mildly, a donut.
Marina Afrikantova: You're right. This is putting it mildly.
Olga Buzova: And what happened next?
Marina Afrikantova: I was still worried for several months.
But then I pulled myself together and decided to return to the project. But I really understood that with such a weight, and I weighed 91 kg, there was nothing for me to do on the project. Even after flying to Moscow and trying many diets, Marina Afrikantova, despite desperate attempts, could not lose weight
Olga Buzova: And you decided to lose weight?
Marina Afrikantova: Well, yes. To be honest, at first I thought I would do it easily and simply. But it turned out that everything is not so simple!
Olga Buzova: How did you lose weight?
Marina Afrikantova: I tried a bunch of diets. I have now become such an expert on them that I can at least write a book or host a show. Blood diet, no carbohydrates, separate meals, mono diet, protein diet, kefir diet, fasting, all kinds of teas for weight loss.
Olga Buzova: And what were the successes?
Marina Afrikantova: As they say in the show environment, there were no successes, there was an exhaust, a whistle. That is, there is a lot of fuss and noise, but zero results. 4 or 5 kilograms, of course, were lost, but then they would definitely return to their place, sometimes there would be an additional addition on top. And this, of course, is very offensive, because when you limit yourself, you literally hate the whole world around you, and in the end - zero results... These are what diets are bad for, and I no longer trust them.
Olga Buzova: What about fitness, a gym?
Marina Afrikantova: I tried that too. I'll say this. You can really lose weight there if you really work hard and don’t do anything else, because you simply won’t have the strength left for anything else. I was not ready for such a sacrifice. And I think 95% of other people do too. After all, everyone has a family, a career, a personal life.
Olga Buzova: So clear. And then what happened?
Marina Afrikantova: There was just a little time left before the opening of the next season of DOM-2 in the Seychelles, and I was still sitting with my 90 kg! At least cry!
Olga Buzova: And how did you lose weight?
Marina Afrikantova: Chance helped! At one presentation I saw Alla Dukhova. And I was amazed! I knew and saw very well that it was full. Even rumors spread around Moscow that she was leaving ballet because of this. And here - a slender girl!
Olga Buzova: And she told you her secret?
Marina Afrikantova: Yes! A special weight loss drink, Chokolate Slim, . It is completely natural. It contains extracts of acai berries, goji, chia seeds, green coffee, lingzhi mushrooms and of course cocoa. This is not a dietary supplement! Since it is natural, it has no contraindications and is suitable for daily use.
Olga Buzova: And you started using it?
Marina Afrikantova: Alla gave me one package of Chokolate Slim For which I am very grateful to her. By the way, the drink is very easy to use. You just need to stir a portion of the powder with liquid after eating, following the instructions.
Olga Buzova: What causes such a strong weight loss effect?
Marina Afrikantova: The use of Chokolate Slim promotes the active production of gastric juice, which is why the digestive system begins to work harder. Thus, there is an active stimulation of metabolic processes. In general, the body turns into a fat processing machine! I don’t know all the physiological nuances, what’s important to me is that I started losing weight from it, but you can find out more on the website >> Chokolate Slim
Olga Buzova: And how did you lose weight?
Marina Afrikantova: Easy! You won’t believe it, but after LITERALLY THREE DAYS the weight began to drop. I felt much lighter, the feeling of heaviness after eating disappeared and it became noticeable in my clothes that the centimeters were disappearing! I jumped on the scales, and there it was 5 kg less! I couldn’t believe my eyes and my luck!
Olga Buzova: So the weight started to come off after three days?
Marina Afrikantova: Yes. Then another 3 kg suddenly disappeared. I was literally blown away! It seems that this drink penetrated my body and dissolved those extra pounds. It seemed to me that every morning my reflection in the mirror became thinner!
Olga Buzova: How much weight did you lose in the end?
Marina Afrikantova: On average, I lost 6-7 kg per week! And in the end, I lost 25 kg in a month! It happened so quickly that I had nothing to wear to the Seychelles! It’s good that now in Moscow buying good clothes is not a problem.
Olga Buzova: And not only clothes.
Marina Afrikantova: are you hinting at Chokolate Slim ? Yes, fortunately, it has received a certificate in our country and is approved for use. I already ordered the package that I took to the Seychelles just in case on the official website of Chokolate Slim << click
Olga Buzova: And what happened next?
Marina Afrikantova: And then you know everything.
I began to participate in the project again and almost immediately I began a relationship with Andrey Chuev. Old weight and new love - Andrey Chuev
Olga Buzova: What about the weight?
Marina Afrikantova: Fifty-six kilograms! Hasn't grown an ounce! Although here, you know, they offer a lot of tempting delicacies.
Olga Buzova: Well, good luck to you, Marina, in love and victory in our show. What would you like to wish your fans?
Marina Afrikantova: Thank you!
But I want to wish you one thing - don’t give up! No matter what, don't give up! You can always overcome circumstances! I am a living example of this. And if these circumstances are excess weight, you already know what to do!
Why can't you completely eliminate carbohydrates?
To make the weight loss process go faster, many women begin to use a shortened version of the diet, that is, 5-7 days exclusively on chicken, fish and eggs. Such a diet cannot be called healthy and healthy. First of all, the protein diet should be balanced, although to achieve results you will have to extend the course for another 7-10 days, but this will not harm you. We will briefly tell you about the consequences of such a diet so that you can draw your own conclusions. A complete absence of carbohydrates and a large amount of heavy food leads to the development of ketosis, that is, poisoning with ketone bodies, breakdown products. In addition, such a diet leads to eating disorders; a person gets used to eating large portions regardless of hunger. Therefore, very often after completing the course, the lost kilograms come back. To prevent this from happening, you need a proper protein diet for 10 days. Reviews from nutritionists say that if you create a balanced diet, you can achieve good results without harm to your health. However, 10 days is the minimum you can count on, so you need to think about your diet before the holiday in advance.
Reviews and results
In fact, it depends only on you whether a protein diet for 10 days will be effective. Reviews from those who have lost weight say that this is exactly the option when you can eat and lose weight. That is, exactly what most people dream of: you can lose weight comfortably, without suffering. However, you need to remember that the stricter the restriction, the shorter the duration of the diet should be. If you remove everything from your diet except pure protein, then this course should not last more than 3-5 days. But alternating protein and carbohydrate days makes it possible to extend the course and achieve better results. A standard 10-day diet allows you to lose 8-10 kg. However, before starting the course, be sure to consult a nutritionist.
Contraindications
Despite the fact that the vitamin and protein diet is quite balanced and is not stressful for the body, there are a number of contraindications that need to be excluded before you start losing weight. To do this, you need to consult a therapist or nutritionist.
It's fair to say that this list is much shorter than most diets. For this reason, this diet is ideal for those who care about their health and are in search of rational and gentle methods of losing weight.
The main contraindications are:
- kidney diseases;
- pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract;
- the need for daily intense physical activity;
- pregnancy;
- adolescence.
The main diet is lunch
The most important meal for which you need to thoroughly prepare. What does a protein diet offer us for 10 days? Reviews and results (photos of people who have lost weight can be found in large numbers on specialized forums) indicate that after a modest breakfast you look forward to this meal with great impatience. This meal is the main source of protein. The first option is boiled chicken breast and tomato salad. The next day, you can prepare fish soup from lean fish and cabbage salad dressed with mayonnaise. On the third day, treat yourself to boiled beef and cabbage and beet salad dressed with mayonnaise. On the fourth day, prepare 2 boiled eggs and a salad of grated carrots with vegetable oil. The next day - boiled beef and cabbage salad. It's time for the first course, beef broth and beet salad await you. The next day, prepare a fish stew with vegetables and add tofu cheese to it. On the eighth day, the authors offer boiled chicken with carrot salad, on the ninth day - fish soup and cabbage salad, and on the last day - boiled chicken breast and tomato salad.
Belly and waist fat: how to get rid of it
The belly before and after the protein diet also looks completely different. It is in this area that visceral and abdominal fat is located, which is the most difficult to get rid of. A protein diet allows you to achieve this in a short time, since the metabolism will draw energy from the body's own fat reserves.
If fat is located on the sides, then one of the fastest ways to get rid of it is also a protein diet. Reviews before and after following the nutritional rules indicate that fat deposits on the upper body disappear first, then on the lower part, and only then from the abdomen and sides. So you will have to be patient: the more visceral fat, the longer it will take to lose weight on your stomach and sides.
Judging by the reviews, if the total number of extra pounds is about ten, then it will take about three to four months to achieve a slim belly, and during this time you cannot eat only proteins. You will have to take breaks for two to three weeks in order to diversify your diet with complex carbohydrates.
Basic Rules
So, it’s decided, starting tomorrow you will have a protein diet for 10 days. Reviews of the menu call it quite gentle and simple, but from now on you should cook food without adding fat. The norm is 35 g of fat per day, that is, approximately 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. It is advisable to consume all carbohydrate foods before two o'clock in the afternoon. It can be buckwheat and oatmeal, but the serving should not exceed 7 tablespoons. Requires eating six times a day with breaks of 3-4 hours. After each meal, take a 30-minute walk.

Permitted and prohibited products
From the outside, the diet looks quite nutritious and varied, so at first it seems to a person that it is very easy to stick to it. In fact, the diet is quite monotonous, so you need to immediately become familiar with what a protein diet for 10 days is. The menu should consist of chicken proteins and beef, chicken and fish, green and tomato salad, and whole grain bread. This way, you can control which product you eat first and which food second.
Milk and all its derivatives are completely prohibited; the only thing allowed to be consumed is low-fat dairy products. It is prohibited to consume bread and flour products, sweets and sweet carbonated drinks, sugar and its substitutes. Eliminate vegetable oil and butter; you can use lemon juice to dress salads. Any alcohol is prohibited during the diet.
It is on these principles that a protein diet for 10 days is built. The reviews and results give us important information that the diet is completely unique. You are allowed to eat those foods that people who are losing weight usually avoid. This is meat and fish, including fatty varieties, eggs, sausages and even lard. At the same time, nutritionists require that protein be consumed in food separately from carbohydrates, thus they explain the absence of restrictions on the consumption of lard; it is impossible to eat a lot of it without bread. In this case, the diet can be supplemented with low-calorie foods in the form of cereals, vegetables and fruits. However, sweet bananas, peaches, pears and dried fruits should be excluded from the menu.
Afternoon snack and dinner
This is what the first half of the day looks like. In this case, it is allowed to supplement the diet with one small loaf of bread or a few spoons of porridge cooked in water. At the same time, the diet is easily tolerated, which is why it received the name “wonderful protein diet for 10 days.” Reviews say that you don’t feel hunger at all, that is, you won’t experience any discomfort. Let's see what the end of the day has to offer. On the first day, you will have two green apples for an afternoon snack, and for dinner - stewed cabbage and a piece of boiled fish. The next day offers grapefruit and a glass of kefir with black bread. The third day will be very enjoyable for citrus lovers. You can eat oranges in unlimited quantities, stewed vegetables and drink a glass of kefir. On the fourth day - two apples, tofu cheese and stewed fish with vegetables. On the fifth day we skip the afternoon snack, and have cottage cheese and a glass of milk for dinner. However, the next day is somewhat easier; you can have two grapefruits for an afternoon snack, and boiled breast with tomatoes for dinner. Before going to bed, add a glass of kefir. On the seventh day you can have unlimited apples and a vegetable salad with a slice of black bread. The next day - two oranges, three boiled eggs with tomatoes and a glass of kefir. The next day is a fasting day, you can only eat vegetables in unlimited quantities. On the last day you can have two apples, stewed cabbage with fish and a glass of kefir.

They all say that the only condition that is difficult to fulfill is the complete absence of sweets; even tea is recommended to be drunk without sugar.
