Dr. Bormenthal's signature diet was developed by specialists and is based on numerous studies. She explains the process of losing weight from a scientific point of view. This and the guaranteed result, which is usually calculated in tens of kilograms lost, makes it very popular. It is one of the few methods built on eliminating the psychological factors of excess weight, where nutrition plays a secondary role.
Scientific background
In 1992, psychotherapists M. A. Gavrilov and A. V. Bobrovsky began actively studying the psychology of overweight people. For several years, they tested various techniques for correcting eating habits, conducted scientific research, and eventually developed a training system on how to maintain the results achieved after losing weight.
In 2001, they patented and began conducting psychocorrection sessions for excess weight, published the book “How to Overcome Appetite,” and opened the first inpatient hospital in Russia (this is the main character of M. A. Bulgakov’s story “The Heart of a Dog”).
In 2003, Gavrilov, Bobrovsky and another psychotherapist, V.V. Romatsky, developed a diet called the center and described in detail in the books “An Effective Weight Loss Program in 7 Days” and “How to Lose Weight and Stay Slim.” Its main principle of action is getting rid of the psychological causes of overeating and correcting eating habits and diet. The new power system has received approval from the St. Petersburg Research Institute named after. V. M. Bekhtereva.
Since then, Bormenthal's diet has been constantly adjusted based on the results of ongoing research and in accordance with the realities of modern reality. All innovations are presented in additional books: A. Bobrovsky “Modern methods of weight loss” (2004), A. V. Kondrashov “Diet Doctor Bormental - the best modern method of losing weight in Russia”, “Give up and become slim” (2008), etc.
Today, training centers in large cities train specialists for the psychocorrection of excess weight using the nutrition system.

Basic principles
According to the developers of the method, a person must first of all understand the reason for overeating and understand that it has nothing to do with food. This could be fear, anxiety, stress, which you need to go to a psychotherapist and get rid of. At the same time, it is recommended to start creating a new diet. The basic principles of the Bormenthal diet come down to the following points.
Calorie counting
With a sedentary lifestyle, the daily caloric intake is reduced to 800-1,000 kcal, with average activity - to 1,200, with intense sports - to 1,500. During illness, the bar rises by 200 kcal.
Everything that is eaten is entered into a diary every day with calorie counting to correct the diet and work on mistakes.
For convenience, the center’s specialists have developed calorie tables for the most commonly consumed foods. It is advisable to print them out and keep them in sight when creating a menu.
Nutrition
A special feature of the diet is permission to eat absolutely any food. The main rule is not to exceed the daily caloric intake. And here everyone chooses for themselves: to eat half a kilo of beef brisket or more than one and a half kilograms of bananas per day for their thousand calories.
This approach eliminates breakdowns and constant thoughts about the forbidden. If you want a cake or fries, satisfy your desire. True, the portion sizes will be minimal, but the taste buds will get what they want, the production of endorphins will increase, which will make you not think about hunger.
- Meals should be fractional: often, but little.
- The intervals between meals are at least 3 hours and no more than 5.
- Breakfast - half an hour after waking up; dinner - 4 hours before bedtime.
- Daily calorie distribution: breakfast - 30%, lunch - 10%, lunch - 40%, afternoon snack - 10%, dinner - 10%.
- Protein products (full list) should be present in every meal.
- Be sure to eat hot foods to prolong saturation.
- It's better to eat sweets for breakfast.
- The basis of the diet is natural vegetables and fruits.
The developers themselves recommend not to get carried away with fatty and carbohydrate foods at first, even if you follow the daily caloric intake.
Duration
Dr. Bormenthal's diet is a long-term method of losing weight. It is observed until the weight returns to normal. Therefore, it is useless for those who need to lose only 5-6 kg to sit on it. It was originally developed for those who are on the verge of obesity or are already suffering from it.
The minimum course is 14 days, during which you can actually lose 10 kg. The best option is a month, and then, if results are achieved, the daily caloric intake level is increased by 200 kcal monthly to stabilize and maintain weight. Throughout the weight loss process, active work with psychotherapists is carried out.
Diet developers recommend setting a specific goal for yourself - for example, losing 20 kg in 7 weeks (on average, the Bormenthal method allows you to get rid of 3 kg every week).
Bormenthal calorie table
You can create your daily diet menu yourself based on the Bormenthal calorie table provided below.
The peculiarities of this table are that the calorie content is indicated in cooked form , and not in raw form, which is very convenient when preparing dishes. Only the calorie content of cereals is indicated in dry form.
Tip: When preparing any dish, write down its calorie content and the amount of ingredients in a notebook or notepad. This will be more convenient - if you suddenly want to cook the same dish, you won’t have to recalculate everything again

Advice: plan your diet in advance for the day, or better yet, several days in advance: how many meals you have per day, what you will eat. On weekdays, make breakfast more “energetic”, that is, eat carbohydrates in order to feel good at work and be active. Lunch should be less dense; it is better to eat proteins (for example, meat or fish with vegetables). And dinner should be light, for example, a salad of fresh vegetables.

Additional Tips
During the day you need to drink regular water (one and a half liters or more). But psychotherapists do not recommend replacing meals with it and suppressing hunger. After meals, you are allowed to drink hot tea to prolong the feeling of fullness.
It is better to avoid high-calorie foods in favor of low-calorie foods to make your diet more varied. And minimize the consumption of hot spices, sweeteners, alcoholic and carbonated drinks that stimulate the appetite. You only need to eat what you like, otherwise there will be no benefit.
To get faster results, it is recommended to arrange kefir, apple and other fasting days a couple of times a week.
Hunger is signals from the stomach to the brain, physiology. You only need to eat according to these “calls”. Appetite is born in thoughts, under the influence of mood. You can't give in to him.
There will be no benefit from grueling training. It’s better to replace morning jogging with walking in the evenings, and exercise machines with 15-minute exercises. Otherwise, due to a low-calorie diet, exhaustion cannot be avoided.
If you plan to lose 10 kg or more, take care in advance to prevent sagging skin. Use anti-cellulite creams, do body wraps, sign up for a massage.
The Bormenthal diet requires mandatory consultations with a psychotherapist who will help determine the causes of excess weight and find motivation. The risk of relapse can be reduced by enlisting the understanding of friends, family and like-minded people. Moral support within the framework of this technique is of great importance for the weight loss process.
It’s great if you have the opportunity to contact one of the Doctor Bormental clinics. They will provide informational assistance and guide you in creating a menu. You can use Internet resources where training in a special program is conducted online. The course is paid and lasts six months.

Exit
After you have lost the required number of kilograms, another task is set - to stabilize the weight so that it does not return. To do this you need:
- monthly increase the daily calorie intake by 200 kcal, bringing it to the desired level (calculated individually);
- continue to eat according to the rules of the Bormenthal diet (fractionally, without prohibitions, but in small portions);
- avoid overeating;
- cope with psychological reasons that can lead to weight gain;
- exercise.
The author's diet according to Bormenthal has an unusual approach to weight loss, which guarantees amazing results. With it you can not only lose weight, but also improve your mental health.
The essence of the Bormenthal diet
The author himself positions it as “weight loss without prohibitions . The concept of losing weight according to Bormenthal is based on a combination of a low-calorie diet with the influence of certain psychotherapeutic techniques designed to reveal and eliminate the psychological causes of overeating.
According to the author of the development, the cause of excess weight is always an eating disorder. Numerous problems and stress, which everyone has in abundance, cause a feeling of discomfort, which on a subconscious level is associated with hunger. To get rid of unpleasant feelings, people unconsciously begin to consume more food, especially pleasure-inducing foods such as sweet or high-calorie foods. This is how the habit of “seizing on troubles” is formed, which is then almost impossible to get rid of without the help of a specialist.
It is very important to take into account your body type, health status and other individual physical parameters. This must be done in order to calculate the optimal weight figure. In addition, a person must become aware of his underlying psychological problems. That is, understand what exactly leads to overeating. In many cases, this requires consultation with a psychotherapist.
