Anna Shulgina's diet: how to overcome excess weight and lose 25 kg

Anna Shulgina is a rising star of Russian show business. The 24-year-old beautiful daughter of the famous singer Valeria managed to make a career as a theater and film actress, singer and TV presenter, and also gained incredible popularity as an Instagram blogger.

Fans adore Anna not only for her acting and singing talents, but also for her incredible willpower, thanks to which the girl transformed from a plump simpleton into a seductive beauty with ideal forms in a matter of months.

Obesity has bothered Anna since childhood. The girl suffered from kidney problems, so she was forced to take hormonal medications, because of which her weight at the age of 12 exceeded 80 kilograms. As a teenager, Shulgina was terribly embarrassed by her excess weight, which, despite systematic training and proper nutrition, was very difficult to lose. It was during this period that the girl treated herself with strict diets and other weight loss tips from women’s forums, however, there was no significant result from such methods of losing excess weight.

At the same time, if fans considered the girl’s curvy figure attractive, her ill-wishers, on the contrary, criticized her for looking much older than her famous mother.

And so, two years ago, Anna shocked fans with an incredible transformation. The girl posted candid photographs online, in which the naked eye could see how much weight she had lost. The difference in the before and after photos really delighted the online community. Since then, many have wondered how Anna achieved such ideal forms? As it turned out, the key to Shulgina’s slimness is hard work on herself and systematic physical activity.

The secret of Anna Shulgina's impeccable forms

First of all, it should be noted that Anna is not one of those who go on strict diets and constantly try to control their weight. Thanks to her determination and the right approach to losing weight, the girl has become a real example for those who are taking their first steps towards a beautiful figure.

On the other hand, looking at Anya’s rather dramatic weight loss, envious people more than once accused her of using pills and other unsafe means for losing weight. In many interviews, the artist refutes the fact of using miracle pills, proving that the minus on the scales is only her merit!

Unfortunately, the exact figure for Shulgina’s starting weight is not known, but comparing her early photos, we can conclude that the girl has lost at least 20 kilograms.

As a teenager, Anna constantly tried in every possible way to get rid of excess weight, which she had despite regular exercise and proper nutrition.

Basic principles of losing weight by Anna Shulgina

1.Regular exercise

Sports come first for Shulgina; physical activity accounts for the bulk of Anya’s weight loss. From an early age, the girl was involved in all kinds of sports (acrobatics, dancing, fencing), so she was no stranger to working on herself in the gym. To lose weight and continue to stay in shape, the actress chose classes on a vibration platform and treadmill, as well as everyone’s favorite yoga.

At the same time, Anna has a unique approach to training. She rarely appears in the capital's fitness clubs, preferring home workouts with a personal trainer. Moreover, she trains regularly, but does not create a clearly structured system of training, pointing out that in no case should you force yourself to play sports, but you should do it only when you want and can do it!

2. High-quality body care

Anna understood that sudden weight loss could have a detrimental effect on the condition of the skin, so she paid due attention to body care - she visited massage and cosmetology rooms, and also took a weekly steam bath in the sauna.

3. No additional drugs - only sports and healthy eating

To ensure that the extra pounds go away forever, and at the same time, while losing weight, your health does not deteriorate, Shulgina is categorically against taking all kinds of advertised pills, dietary supplements and other unsafe means. And he forbids his fans to do this!

4. Correct psychological attitude

According to the star, losing weight is not only about external changes, so it is very important to properly psychologically tune in to the desired result. Anna practices autogenic training designed to help a person hear himself and his body.

Proper nutrition

Anna herself admits that while studying at a Swiss boarding house, she ate far from healthy food. Perhaps this is what led to the obesity, or maybe it was a hormonal imbalance, which is sometimes written about in the media. However, now in the life of a young girl there is no place for harmful foods and eating habits.

Diet

• Exclude flour, fried, fatty, smoked, sweets, soda, packaged juices, pickles, canned food and fast food from the menu. These products are harmful to the health of not only those losing weight, but also ordinary people, as they contain many substances that clog the body with toxins and waste. Sweets generally instantly turn into fat, which is why Shulgina had to give them up.
• Eat only healthy and low-calorie foods. This includes vegetable salads with olive oil or fresh lemon dressing (it’s better to throw sour cream and mayonnaise out of the refrigerator altogether), lean meats such as chicken, veal and beef. Cereal porridges are suitable for breakfasts, vegetable soups and mild chicken broth are suitable for lunches. You can snack on cottage cheese, unroasted nuts, natural yogurt without additives, fresh fruits or berries.
• Drink plenty of purified water and green tea. Anna adopted the beneficial properties of green tea for the body and replaced regular black tea and coffee with this drink. The girl also tries to drink at least 2 liters of purified, or better yet, melt water without gas, in order to remove toxins from the body and start metabolism. You should definitely drink a glass of water on an empty stomach, only after 40 minutes you can eat breakfast.
• Eat in moderation. Anna herself assures that Europeans do not have the habit of eating in company, and our people should adopt this good tradition. You need to eat in small portions, overeating is completely excluded. Particular attention should be paid to the evening meal; it should be as easy to digest as possible.

Anna Shulgina in the photo before and after losing weight looks like completely two different people. She admits that proper nutrition has become not just a diet for her, but a lifestyle. Now the girl weighs, according to various sources, from 53 to 59 kg with a height of 168 cm. These are ideal figures, given that she managed to simultaneously burn fat and build muscle mass.

Sport

Sports were always present in the life of the young star; she was fond of yoga and fencing. However, Shulgina reviewed her workouts and chose the most effective ones for losing weight. To lose weight and keep her body in shape, Anna chose the following complex for herself:

• going to the gym several times a week, Anna is losing weight with a personal trainer;
• home exercises on a strength training machine to strengthen muscles;
• cardiological loads on a treadmill;
• walking, which is good for both the figure and the whole body;
• autogenic trainings that help you instantly relax.

Anna argues that sport should be fun; torturing your body will never give the desired results. She only exercises when she feels like it, and recommends that everyone choose workouts that will bring pleasure, rather than muscle pain and fatigue.

It’s better to do less intense exercises, but regularly, than to overload yourself and exercise because you “don’t want to.”

Rules for healthy eating according to Shulgina

1. You need to eat small meals, do not overeat and do not fill yourself up at night

Three main meals and two additional snacks are the best food regimen, the observance of which will never awaken the feeling of hunger in someone losing weight.

2. Include only healthy foods in your diet, preferably low-calorie foods

The basis of the artist’s daily menu is: vegetables, fruits and berries, cereal porridges (whole grain), low-fat fish and meats, legumes, nuts, as well as fermented milk products with a low fat content (yogurt, kefirs, cottage cheese).

Prohibited for consumption: confectionery, baked goods, sweets, carbonated water, smoked meats, pickles, fried foods, as well as food waste such as crackers, chips and fast food.

3. The daily diet should always include liquid dishes and meat

Every day Anna eats vegetable soups and lean boiled meat (chicken, turkey, quail), but if the girl is haunted by an acute feeling of hunger, she snacks on low-fat natural yogurt and a handful of dried fruits.

4. Maintain water balance in the body

It is advisable to drink at least 2 liters of water a day, which not only removes excess fluid from the body, but also significantly dulls the appetite, filling the stomach.

Anna Shulgina about excess weight and nude shooting: “The fuller I was, the less complex I was”

Woman.ru: Anna, you took part in a candid photo shoot, what prompted you to take this bold step?

Anna Shulgina: For me it was a challenge - to myself, to those around me, to the public, to my family. Rebellion. I am against the fact that for some reason everyone considers me an “angel girl” who constantly wears floral dresses. And I'm completely different. No, I'm not a bad person. But I can’t be like my mother - I don’t want to be a copy of her. I have a different eye shape, appearance, even the music is different - I recently recorded an album. And, believe me, it has nothing in common with my mother’s work.

“Shooting for MAXIM is a bold statement about yourself and your individuality. And to some extent, I did this so that I would no longer be perceived as Valeria’s little daughter.”

But I think that this photo shoot is an isolated incident. There are no more reasons for now. I did what I wanted and am happy with the result.

Woman.ru: Were you comfortable during the shooting?

A. Sh.: The first couple of shots were wildly exciting, because there were only men in the studio - a photographer, a journalist, the editor-in-chief... And then the guys explained to me that they felt like doctors - what they had not seen during their work in the magazine.

And indeed, during the shooting process I did not feel any passion or lust from them. We just took beautiful high-quality photographs and made art. And I liked it.

Woman.ru: Do you call an erotic photo shoot art?

A. Sh.: I consider photography to be art. And only a photographer can turn erotic photographs into art. In my opinion, everything depends on him rather than on the model. Personally, I am not a professional in this matter. And it was important for me that the photographer helped me in the shooting. I've seen his other works - they're a sight to behold! Very beautiful, high quality and somehow European.

Woman.ru: How did Valeria and Joseph Prigozhin react to your action?

A. Sh.: They knew about the shooting in advance. Mom did not approve and was extremely unhappy. But I want to clarify one point right away: some journalists wrote that Anna Shulgina had a fight with Valeria, and now mother and daughter are in a quarrel and are not talking. So, this was not the case, this is a kindergarten.

“My mother simply told me: “Daughter, you are already an adult, you are 22 years old. If it is a mistake, it will be YOUR mistake." And I am grateful to her for this position, because I know that she did not like this idea. It's too much for her."

Joseph was less angry with me: “When should we do this, if not now? Why not try it? And I agree with him, this is not prostitution!

But for some reason, when girls, girls, women and even some media figures post photos on Instagram in which, excuse the frankness, they bare their butts and show their breasts, no one attacks them with criticism! In my opinion, it is better to have a professional shoot in a studio than to post home photos on social networks.

Woman.ru: Did men begin to react to you differently after the publication of these pictures?

A. Sh.: Of course. People write both rave reviews and nasty things on social networks, you can’t do without it. But most of my fans reacted positively to my trick.

“And it seems to me that I’m one of the last people in show business who should be criticized.”

Woman.ru: How did your boyfriend react to your action?

A. Sh.: Wise. He understands perfectly well that this is part of the job, and I am incredibly grateful to him for his support.

Woman.ru: Do you have any taboos?

A. Sh.: You know, it’s probably still taboo for me to dress like the singer Rihanna at the CFDA fashion awards last year. Remember that see-through Swarovski crystal dress? In Russia, it seems to me, people did not understand this - in principle, except for young people, few people even perceive her music. For me, Rihanna is a style icon, there is no one cooler than her!

Her act is so daring... I don’t reproach her, I just admire her, but I couldn’t do it myself. Perhaps this is due to our Russian mentality, but this is not bad.

Woman.ru: Are you often compared to your mother?

A. Sh.: Constantly! Even our conversation with you was not complete without talking about mom, and this is normal.

“It’s just that some people are trying to convey to me the idea that I must be just like her. And this is what I don’t understand!”

Let's tell Nikita Presnyakov, an incredibly talented boy, that he must imitate his dad, Vladimir, and try to be like him in everything... Nikita is great, because he created his own musical group and follows the path he wants.

Each person is individual, and this should not be forgotten. For example, some of my mother’s fans don’t like me - well, don’t listen to me! (Although it is worth saying that there are few of them.) I am not going to adapt to the opinions of others and live in discord with myself.

Woman.ru: Then what are you?

A. Sh.: “Let's start with the fact that I am different. Not a nun, but not a devil either. Everything has a limit".

My mother is very soft, but I can react quite sharply and harshly if I don’t like something. And I don’t care how others feel about it. Let them call you a bitch, whatever you want, but believe me, if you offend me, I will fight back - both verbally and physically.

Woman.ru: Are you really going to get into a fight?

A. Sh.: I have been friends with boys since childhood, I grew up in a simple courtyard, despite the fact that I am from a famous family. And I will not give offense to myself or my friends. I can smile, laugh, communicate with a person, but as soon as he allows himself something unnecessary in his words towards me or my loved ones, I turn into a monster.

Woman.ru: Have you become more relaxed after you lost a lot of weight?

A. Sh.: You know, no.

“The most interesting thing: the plumper I was, the less complex I was (laughs). I didn't worry or worry about being overweight. Even on occasion I wore tight clothes, such as jeans.”

And most importantly, I have never suffered from a lack of attention from the opposite sex. Perhaps it's all about how you feel.

It happens: you meet a sporty young man and a “delicious” girl on the street. It looks like she needs to lose kilos, but you look at them - they are happy. And if a person is evil, then even if he is thin, everyone around him will seem unattractive.

“I was absolutely happy with my weight and felt comfortable. I didn’t even pay attention to the fact that I resembled an elephant.”

Imagine, at the age of 12, weighing more than 80 kilograms... And this is with a height half as low as it is now! Such a fat gnome (laughs). And it didn’t bother me.

Woman.ru: At what point did everything change?

A. Sh.: I started having minor problems with my kidneys. In Switzerland, I was prescribed good hormonal medications, which made me gain even more weight. Then I abruptly stopped taking them. And it began to melt. Over the course of a week, my jeans went several sizes too big. Then I had my 9th grade graduation, after the holiday I came home, went to a forum about losing weight and just started to find out what it was. I started reading a lot about diets.

“For me it was a game: first I tried one way of eating, then another. This way I tested myself for strength. Can I? Is there enough willpower?

At the same time, I did not suffer due to the fact that I was starving or restricting myself in nutrition. I challenged myself - it's like Lost, but only in my head and with me in the lead role.

Woman.ru: Are you satisfied with the result of your weight loss?

A. Sh.: I’m happy with my body, really. I am not anorexic, I have an athletic, toned figure. And, as I believe, for my height I have an ideal weight (Anna Shulgina, with a height of 169 centimeters, weighs 58 kilograms - approx. Woman.ru).

And this despite the fact that I play sports intensely and work out. Recently I just measured the amount of muscle mass, and by all indicators my figure can be classified as athletic.

Woman.ru: Do you have any complexes?

A. Sh.: This is not exactly a complex... But my biological father (Anna’s father is a producer, ex-husband of singer Valeria, Alexander Shulgin - approx. Woman.ru) has Buryat roots, and I try to carefully present my eastern eye shape. This doesn’t bother me, it’s just such a highlight that needs to be emphasized with the right makeup.

Woman.ru: With age, you have become more picky about nutrition and diets, do you spare yourself?

A. Sh.: Honestly? No (laughs). Because touring life does not provide such an opportunity. I recently returned to Moscow and visited Samara, Krasnoyark, and Murom with concerts. There is no such thing as being offered baked chicken with mozzarella for lunch. Wrong conditions.

“There is buffet tea in plastic cups, dried apples, boiled eggs and sweets - this is so that you understand how artists live. And naturally, you don’t watch what you eat.”

Mostly you snack on a sausage sandwich or drink tea on the go. During this time, on the contrary, I lost weight, lost 3 kilograms, although I ate incorrectly and did not even sleep properly due to flights.

Woman.ru: Which woman would you call beautiful?

A. Sh.: For me, both women and men are definitely beautiful when they love themselves. It's corny, but it works, and it's immediately obvious. There are so many not very beautiful women in the world, but they have crowds of fans. And the whole point is that they know how to present themselves correctly. Nobody is interested in just abs - without a head and without a soul.

If we talk only about external beauty, then for me it is impossible without well-groomed facial skin. And so, a woman with any features can become a beauty - the main thing is to correctly emphasize the advantages and hide the flaws with makeup, and even better - learn to present your highlights without makeup. Your face is your business card; when meeting you, no one will look at your pumped-up belly.

An example of Anna Shulgina's daily menu:

Breakfast (to choose from):

• 200 grams of low-fat cottage cheese with pieces of fruit and berries, a cup of green tea without sugar;
• light vegetable salad and green tea.

First snack (lunch): half a glass of organic yogurt without additives.

Lunch (optional):

• vegetable soup with chicken and seafood salad;
• stewed fish (boiled meat) and vegetable salad.

Second snack (afternoon snack): one fruit or dried fruit, a glass of unsweetened herbal tea.

Dinner (to choose from):

• fresh vegetable salad with a spoon of olive oil, a slice of bran bread;
• boiled chicken and fresh vegetables, whole grain bread.

Anna Shulgina's diet: the star told how she lost 25 kg in three months - Sports

A young singer and actress, the daughter of the popular singer Valeria, Anna Shulgina, had a curvaceous physique since childhood. For a long time, the girl unsuccessfully struggled with excess weight and tried various diets, but only recently was she able to achieve the desired shape and lose 25 kilograms.

According to Anna herself, losing weight did not come easy for her. She changed her diet many times and made amendments to it until she arrived at a diet that was comfortable for herself. Only then things started to improve and the pounds began to fall off.

The difficulty of losing weight for the artist was that she had been taking strong hormonal medications for a long time. Therefore, it was impossible to greatly reduce or increase the calorie content of the diet; weight began to gain from almost any change in the diet.

Therefore, Anna created a calorie deficit gradually, giving the body the opportunity to get used to the new amount of food. In addition, the girl eliminated junk food from her diet: she began to eat less sweets, and gave up flour, fatty and fast food.

Basically, Shulgina’s menu consisted only of low-calorie foods and simple dishes: the girl ate light vegetable soups, salads dressed with olive oil, lean meat, fish, porridge cooked in water, fermented milk products and fruits. Sometimes she allowed herself small portions of nuts and seeds - they are simply irreplaceable as healthy fats responsible for women's health and beauty.

Anna did not forget about sports - her arsenal of physical activities included yoga, strength training, running, swimming and home workouts on a simulator. The girl says that it is especially important for her that training is enjoyable, so for herself she chose only the load that she likes.

What does Anna Shulgina look like today?

Shulgina’s diet is not a starvation diet; in principle, it can hardly be called a diet. To be precise, the principles by which the star lost weight are real proper nutrition, so you can stick to it for a long time, not only for the purpose of losing weight, but also as a prototype of a daily nutrition system.

According to the latest data, with a height of 168 cm, the actress weighs 58 kg, which is considered the absolute norm for a girl of her physique. I am glad that she is not excessively thin; on the contrary, Anna boasts a fit, athletic figure.

The slimmer Anna is becoming more and more like her star mother - both in figure and face.

Now she is in demand not only as an actress and TV presenter, but also as a model. The sexy girl is often invited to star in candid photo shoots for popular men's magazines, and this is not surprising, because her seductive figure is admired by thousands of representatives of the stronger sex!

How Anna Shulgina lost weight: three pillars that led her to success

The daughter of the famous singer Valeria has always been plump and pretty. Not long ago, photos of a young and sophisticated girl in a swimsuit and tight clothes appeared on a social network. Viewers undoubtedly thought it was “Photoshopped.” After all, it is almost impossible to change in such a short period of time. However, the joint clip of mother and daughter dispelled the doubts of all onlookers. One can only guess how Anna Shulgina lost weight?

Anna Shulgina's weight loss has haunted her fans for a long time. No one believed that such incredible success could be achieved on one’s own in such a short period of time. Accordingly, they thought that Thai pills, miracle drinks and other chemicals were indispensable assistants for the daughter of a talented singer.

The second part of the public decided that the girl had taken extreme measures - she had liposuction, fortunately, the family’s income allows her to take advantage of such an expensive procedure.

The girl is tired of watching fans suffer in guesses. She gave many interviews in which she told the whole world her success story.
