The weight loss method developed by Ekaterina Mirimanova already has many adherents both among those losing weight and among doctors - reviews of the 60 system for weight loss inspire and motivate to take active steps to lose extra pounds. The author of the program experienced the effect herself, losing 60 kg - exactly half of her own weight. That’s why the system is called “Minus 60”. The diet attracts many people because of its simplicity, varied diet, and easy-to-prepare dishes. This is not a short-term diet based on restrictions, but a long-term nutritional system.
Mirimanova diet: basic principles
The main principle of the proposed system is the focus on losing weight naturally. There is no need to exhaust yourself with periodic hunger strikes, completely deprive yourself of your favorite food, count calories, painfully worrying that you allowed yourself something extra.
Everything is much simpler if there is a clear goal to lose weight and follow certain nutritional rules:
- to have breakfast no later than 12 noon! If you have to get up very early, divide your breakfast into two parts: light and full.
- Gradually add less sugar to your drinks.
- Eat sweets only in the morning , give up milk chocolate, replacing it with bitter chocolate.
- Parboiled rice is preferable among cereals, since it contains more useful components compared to polished.
- Eat wheat bread only in the morning. At lunch, if there is no meat, chicken or fish dish, rye bread or crackers are allowed.
- For breakfast , eat pasta and potatoes with any ingredients, for lunch they are combined only with cheese and vegetables, and for dinner they are completely prohibited.
- You are allowed to drink as much water as you want , the body itself will give a signal. But it makes sense to keep water nearby, then it will be easier to remember about it. Try not to over-salt your food when cooking; it is better to add a little salt to the finished dish if necessary.
- Try to have dinner no later than 6-8 o'clock in the evening , gradually moving to an earlier time, but not earlier than 17 o'clock, otherwise sleeping on an empty stomach will reduce the efficiency of the system.
- Dinner is the lightest meal of the day . If you decide to cook something from meat or fish, then do not add anything else. Vegetable dishes and fruits are allowed to be supplemented with cereals or dairy products.
Of course, to achieve the desired result, rational nutrition alone is not enough; you also need to keep yourself in good shape every day with the help of simple gymnastic exercises and a positive psycho-emotional attitude.
Important to remember! The “Minus 60” system is not just another diet, but a change in the structure and schedule of nutrition, enhanced by motivation for success and physical support for the body.
Exercise and skin care
An important role in the success of the diet is played by physical exercise, which will keep the body in constant tone. It is not at all necessary to visit the gym: five minutes of gymnastics will be enough. But you need to practice every day.
You should also pay special attention to skin care. Despite the fact that the “Minus 60” diet is not as strict as other systems, if the success exceeds all your expectations and you lose tens of kilograms, the skin will still sag a little. That is why it is necessary to treat your skin with a scrub made from coffee grounds twice a week, and also regularly use moisturizers.
Diet “minus 60” by Ekaterina Mirimanova: advantages
The diet is not at all complicated; it is more of a lifestyle change. It is allowed to eat most foods, changing only the time of their consumption and combination. The system can be used by anyone regardless of age, even women during pregnancy and lactation.
The process of losing weight is gradual, which means the skin does not sag, and physical exercise helps keep it in good shape.
There is no return to the previous kilograms, since there is no stress for the body, it gets used to the new regime gradually. There is no fatigue, irritability, or headache, which are common on diets with severe food restriction. The psycho-emotional state improves due to successful weight loss , and motivation for results is further strengthened.
Disadvantages of the Mirimanova diet (reviews)
According to many women, the disadvantage of the diet is the difficulty in clearly organizing a diet. It is not always possible to follow instructions exactly, and failures lead to lost results. It is difficult for working women to set up a suggested meal schedule during the working day; the diet is more suitable for those sitting at home on maternity leave or with small children.
With insufficient intensity of physical exercise, the rate of weight loss decreases . It is necessary to carefully care for the skin (masks, peeling, massage), otherwise the effect of the diet will be reduced due to negative manifestations (flabbiness, stretch marks, folds, cellulite), and sometimes there is not enough time for care.
Since the system triggers some kind of restructuring of the digestive processes, people suffering from chronic diseases need to be more careful and prevent their aggravation.
Note! Even the most wonderful diet will not help if over time you stop adhering to its rules. Losing weight is easier than stabilizing the weight at the achieved level.
Results achieved and how to maintain weight
I strictly adhered to Mirimanova’s weight loss system for six months. During this time I lost 25 kg. My husband and I are very pleased with the result! The condition of the skin is also pleasing. She became fit and elastic, got rid of stretch marks on her stomach. Overall, the game is worth the candle.
Photos before and after weight loss
Mirimanova’s technique is not just a diet, but a nutritional system that can be followed for a long time. In six months I became so accustomed to this regime that I still follow it now. Of course, I often break it, especially on holidays. If I overeat, I immediately go to the stadium and burn off the extra calories. Every morning - on the scales. As soon as I start to gain weight, I immediately review my diet and intensify my training.

My favorite recipes
Having a small child in your arms, it is simply unrealistic to devote a lot of time to cooking. I chose a slow cooker. There is no need to stand over it and be afraid that the porridge will run away or the meat will burn.

In the summer, I like to treat myself to a grill menu. My husband and I cook on the grill at the dacha. We bake potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, eggplants and lean meat. It turns out incredibly tasty.
Mirimanova’s “minus 60” diet: reviews and results
According to people who use the system, it attracts with its freedom of choice and does not force you to control the number of calories consumed daily.
A full morning breakfast that provides a feeling of fullness, a less calorie lunch, and then an evening light meal do not force you to resort to additional snacks. In other words, this is a long-known way of life, not for nothing called healthy.
Of course, at first you have to adjust a lot in your diet, but the result is worth it. The process of losing weight is not fast; in a month you can lose an average of 6-8 kg, and with more intense physical activity, even more. In especially difficult cases, with constant adherence to the principles of the diet, the weight decreases to the desired level within 3-6 months and then stabilizes.
It is important to know! When losing weight, the body first loses water and muscle tissue, so the process goes quite quickly. And later, subcutaneous fat deposits begin to disappear and weight loss slows down somewhat. This is a completely natural process.
A little bit of my story
For as long as I can remember, I have been constantly losing weight. First - for the prom, then for the wedding, and so on. I've never been too thin. On average, the weight remained at around 65-70 kg.
Noticeable changes in the figure occurred after the birth of the child. My beloved son was born in December. In winter we did not walk much. Mostly we stayed at home and ate so we could have more milk. We ate bread and butter, cheese and washed everything down with tea with condensed milk. And here is the result by spring - 85 kg! No breastfeeding mother can fit into just jeans and a blouse. It’s scary to look at yourself in the mirror, my husband moved to sleep in another room (intimacy with a hippo does not appeal to him). So I decided to pull myself together and start fighting my wrinkles at the waist.
After studying the reviews of those who had lost weight, I chose the minus 60 system. My decision is very simple to explain. Firstly, you don’t need to completely give up any food. Secondly, grueling workouts in the gym are not required. Thirdly, it is gentle on the stomach (for my ulcer, a mono-diet is death). Anyone who has other health problems, such as diabetes, can read this article. The main thing is to lose weight correctly without harming yourself.

The role of psychological attitude
A proper psychological attitude is also an excellent help during a diet.
According to Ekaterina Mirimanova, first of all, you should love yourself even in your previous body with all the extra pounds, and only then get down to business.
Internal problems sometimes prevent you from reaching the finish line no less than food cravings. Motivation like “I want to fit into my favorite dress” is no good. When the dress is just right, the interest will disappear and the weight will return.
Additional recommendations
Before you go on the Minus 60 diet, you should get a kitchen scale. Mirimanova’s nutrition system really doesn’t require counting calories. However, in order to control the amount of food you eat and not torment yourself with thoughts that you have eaten more than you should, it is best to weigh the food before eating. In addition, it is recommended to purchase a vitamin complex, since even with such a variety of foods as in the “Minus 60” program, there will still be a shortage of nutrients.
