The star of the Ural dumplings Ilana Yurieva lost much weight

– Humor is very important in my life, butI took my pregnancy very seriously! Perhaps it played a role, because the 9 months of waiting for Diana passed quite easily for me. I had time to rehearse, perform, and travel. In the third trimester, I stopped going on stage - but then a flurry of photo shoots for publications dedicated to expectant mothers began. I was happy to be filmed both for myself and for the press. I was a real beauty during this period, I felt comfortable, and everyone complimented me! But, like in the fairy tale about Cinderella, as soon as the chimes struck midnight, the magic dissipated. After giving birth, I showed all the signs of depression against the background of dissatisfaction with myself. The thing is that during pregnancy I ate everything my heart desired without restrictions: bread, cookies, and chocolate. I felt relaxed and peaceful. When I came to a restaurant, I said: "I would like a bread basket and some butter quickly, please." My husband laughed at me and said, "You're such a good wife, you can be taken to the most expensive restaurants. Just a basket of bread and you're happy." I didn't have a single day of toxicosis, probably because I ate well. But if I didn't eat a lot, I felt unwell. In the end, I gained 20 kilograms, but I wasn't worried at all, I knew I'd lose them anyway.A photo: @ ilana7788After delivery, it was minus 7 kilograms, although the stomach was reduced for a long time. Yes, and the state of the body as a whole ... In general, it was terrible! Whole 13 extra pounds! And after 3 months I needed to be shot, which means I needed to quickly regain my form. I was worried, I felt ugly, despite all my husband’s attempts to dissuade me of this. Since the first month of sport was strictly tabooed, I turned to the masseurs for help. Fortunately, I didn’t have a shortage of helpers - both newly minted grandmothers helped me tinkering with Diana, and dad often stayed with her. Of course, it wasn’t enough to revise my diet, and then I can confidently say that the best diet after childbirth is This is a nursing mom's diet! I had to be strict with myself, but this was the only way to return to the right form in a short time. Ate so that the baby had no colic. Refused fruit, ate vegetables, fish and chicken, steamed. In general, a fairly strict diet. And the most difficult was to refuse coffee. Saw only tea. But any diet is a temporary measure: when it ends, the weight returns even in larger size. And there is only one way out - always eat right. Now I eat five times a day in small portions and do not have a snack on the run. Refused sugar, replacing it with honey - good, the husband’s company produces 13 whole varieties of this useful product, and I have something to choose from. I carefully watch the amount of salt in the food: in our family, it is customary to take meals on purpose. In the evening we will have supper, but we choose light food.Photo:archives of press servicesIf you need to get in shape quickly, the best way for me is fasting days. I use protein fasting: you need to eat only protein products all day. For breakfast, two boiled eggs, for lunch - chicken breast, for an afternoon snack - cottage cheese, for dinner - low-fat yogurt. You can also eat cucumbers and tomatoes. In no case should you use spices, sauces, salt - all this retains water in the body. In this way, you remove excess fluid from the body. The next day, you can not immediately pounce on food: add 1-2 additional products to the protein set. On the third day, I gradually return to normal food, but try not to overeat. Taboo is imposed on all flour, sweet and salty. The next weekend I definitely go to the bathhouse: it gives an amazing effect! The Russian bath helps not only to consolidate the result, but also to remove excess fluid and lose up to 2 kg of weight. A pleasant bonus will be a sparkle in the eyes, a blush on the cheeks and good condition of the skin and hair. By the way, if you are going to the bathhouse for the first time, consult with the bath attendant and follow all his recommendations. And after that, you will most likely want to eat, but you need to control yourself: the maximum you can allow yourself is a vegetable salad and herbal teas. And there is another drink that I will recommend to you: hot water, grated ginger and lemon. When the drink cools down a little, add a spoonful of honey - it is important not to put it directly into boiling water, so as not to kill the beneficial properties of this sweet. As a result, you will get not only a healthy, but also a tasty remedy that will speed up your metabolism and support your immunity!
