Belotserkovskaya’s diet has gained incredible popularity today, just like its owner. Veronika Borisovna Belotserkovskaya was born in 1970 in St. Petersburg in the family of a Russian language teacher and engineer. Nika’s grandmother was the chief physician of an Odessa meat-packing plant, and apparently, it was from her that her interest in culinary recipes was passed on to her granddaughter.

Today Belonika - this is how she is widely known to her public - is a publisher and blogger, mother of three children, best-selling culinary author, in love with photography and directing, and writes scripts. And in general, she is a creative, multifaceted personality, a one-man orchestra.

You can't help but love her

This bold, bright, extraordinary woman, full of ideas, has turned her luxurious lifestyle into a style that you want to copy.

Sometime after another pregnancy, Nika gained a lot of weight and decided to fight it. Systematically, thoughtfully, with meaning, combining the process of losing weight with the creation of another book (“Diets”), and willingly sharing recipes for dishes that she recommended for consumption to everyone who wants to become slimmer.

In addition, there is a special diet for Nika Belotserkovskaya, which is published in the media. The author points out that she is not a nutritionist at all. And first of all, anyone who decides to follow her diet should first consult with specialists, since any diet must be agreed upon with doctors.

About perception

“Fat people have a deceptive image. They seem kind, sweet, cozy, always chewing. I want to lay my head on their chest. When I came to LiveJournal, it was a month before giving birth. And I weighed about 80 kilograms. Although I am a former volleyball player and should weigh 52-53. All my readers perceived me as a fat person who lost weight. This went into my medical record as a psychological image,” says Belotserkovskaya in an interview. So the example of Veronica Belotserkovskaya is an excellent indicator of how relative everything is: someone exclaims about magical weight loss, and someone talks about achieving a comfortable physiological shape.

#legit. I agree, the contrast with the previous picture is striking (we chalk it up to versatility), but, nevertheless, we are waiting for you today with @polinakitsenko, @xenia_sobchak, @ololol and @mshnurova at @podiummarket. format - public talk (or whatever you call it human). we'll chat, answer questions (maybe honestly), and most likely it will be fun. Come! We are waiting, waiting, waiting at @podiummarket at Okhotny Ryad, 2, TG Fashion Season. starts at 17.30. where - you will immediately understand, I will also be lying at the entrance. ps: free and ticketless!

Nika opens up

The culinary expert claims that the diet works flawlessly for her personally. The first week is the hardest, you may get a headache if you are not used to it. The third day, according to Nika, is the most difficult. Anyone who can survive it will be able to hold out until the very end. Nika advises not to lose weight alone, but to avoid getting bored, in the company of like-minded women, since collective efforts are very stimulating. Those who adhered to this regime agree with Nika.

With her characteristic irony and unconventional approach to life, Belonika shared a certain figure with her readers: she calculated that thanks to Nika Belotserkovskaya’s diet and the number of girls who have lost weight, planet Earth will become exactly 10 tons lighter. She knows better.

Adviсe

The publisher does not advise spending extra time in the kitchen; you need to be distracted. Those who are losing weight have nothing to do at the catering unit. Nika advises choosing a time on Sunday to make basic preparations for preparing food for the family for the week ahead. It takes about 2-2.5 hours.

According to reviews from those who have been on a diet, it will be convenient to stock up on plastic containers.
To freeze soups or broths in portions, use containers or plastic cups - pour, wrap with cling film on top and place in the freezer.
Great advice from the “experienced” - buy freezer bags, which also store broths well.

Culinary site

Another source of income for a successful businesswoman is a culinary website. You may ask, how does Veronica make money there?

Now I'll tell you:

The website contains books that can be downloaded from the App Store. Each costs from 500 to 1,500 rubles.
It is suggested to download the recipe app from the App Store or Google Play. It implies paid content, additional functions - 350-2,500 rubles.
Advertising from Google or Yandex, it all depends on the transitions of visitors, I can’t calculate it myself.
Selling affiliate links, information is also closed to me.
Videos of recipes and tips from chefs that contain advertising. On average it costs 70-150,000 rubles.

In one of her interviews, Belotserkovskaya shared that she spends a lot of time on the culinary site. For her, aesthetics and the benefits it will bring to online visitors are important. I think she managed to create an interesting and useful portal.

One week grocery shopping list

Nika Belotserkovskaya’s diet in no way implies any chemical mixtures, only natural products:

Half a kilo of oatmeal, by no means instant.
Half a kilo of quinoa, or wild rice.
Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.
Walnuts and pine nuts, white almonds, sesame seeds. Peanuts should not be consumed.
50 grams of raisins or dried cranberries.
Rye crackers are acceptable, but according to reviews of Belonika’s diet, this item can be excluded.
Rice crackers and crispbreads.
Packaging of muesli without nuts and dried fruits.
Vegetables: two potatoes, five onions, half a kilo of broccoli, four sweet peppers, two heads of garlic and shallots or one red onion. Two stalks of leeks, a pack of spinach, a fennel tuber, 12 carrots and 1 kilogram of pumpkin. 2 cucumbers, 6 tomatoes and a package of cherry tomatoes, one pack of frozen green peas, a large bunch of celery, 1 fresh ginger root, 8 lemons, one zucchini, salad greens, two avocados, 2 beets.
Herbs you need to buy are oregano, thyme, basil and rosemary. Those who have tried Nika Belotserkovskaya’s diet say that spices very brightly “color” the taste of dishes that seem rather bland.
Now - to protein products. You need to buy two chicken breasts, half a kilo of salmon or cod fillet, white fish - 300 grams, shrimp - 100 grams.
Two cans of tuna in its own juice.
Six cups of natural low-fat yogurt.
Fifteen quail eggs or three chicken eggs.
A packet of soy milk. Numerous reviews of Nika Belotserkovskaya’s diet indicate that you can also do just fine without it.
For spices (excellent antioxidants), Belonika advises buying coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and cumin, as well as black pepper.
Cold pressed olive or sesame oil.
Still mineral water.
Many people complain that they cannot live without coffee. Nika offers a barley drink, and also advises purchasing two packs of fruit teas that remove fluids. They can be bought at the pharmacy.

Belonika claims that following this diet triggers a natural mechanism due to which, even after its completion, weight is lost. This mode speeds up your metabolism.

Veronica Belotserkovskaya: juicy style lesson from belonika

For those who are not familiar with the heroine, this is Veronika Borisovna Belotserkovskaya (nee Antonysheva) - author of cookbooks, president of the Sobaka publishing house, owner of a culinary school in the south of France and a very popular blogger belonika. “Recipes”, “Diets” and other culinary bestsellers are her work,

If I’m not mistaken, she also owns Time Out magazine, an airline in-flight magazine and the popular website woman.ru.

Here is such a successful, hardworking and lucky “St. Petersburg swindler,” as Veronica likes to call herself.

By the way, until 2003, Belotserkovskaya was mainly involved in the television advertising market, was a co-owner and general director of the Trend St. Petersburg agency, and became a laureate of the 2004 Russian Media Manager award in the Magazines category. Then she married millionaire Boris Belotserkovsky, co-owner of the Ritzio Entertainment group of companies.

Belotserkovsky owns the gaming networks Vulcan, Million, X-Time in Russia and Kazakhstan, King and Metro-Jackpot in Ukraine, Labirints and City Casino in the Baltic countries.

An active Internet life (and the popularity that accompanies it) overtook Belonika during maternity leave in a beautiful, but too quiet place for a “St. Petersburg swindler”: “rich Boris,” as Belotserskovskaya calls her husband, bought a mansion in the French town of Cap D'ai, bordering Monaco, where the “prosperous wife” went to “cook.”

However, she couldn’t sit idle and started a blog on LiveJournal under the nickname belonika, where snapshots of stunningly beautiful food and the step-by-step process of preparing it were interspersed with heartbreakingly beautiful photographs and terribly interesting stories. In general, it turned out that Belonika had something to show, and the audience really wanted to see it.

The life of the oligarch's wife turned out to be such an exciting series that it grew into an independent business project, Belonika, with a culinary school, cookbooks, a store of oils, seasonings and sauces, the production of cases for smartphones and even television films.

Now Belonika’s main platform is the Instagram network, which allows you to do everything quickly, briefly, succinctly, and brightly.

Everything is as she likes.

It seems to me that it was Belotserkovskaya who set this fashion for “original-long-tags”, which people quickly picked up.

But people make them wherever they go, and for Belonika these are rubrics. And one of my favorites is the #aumenladder. It was born as a response to “liftolooks”.

Quick background. Our heroine has lost weight

became #like a girl and went crazy

Now you can wear everything! And since the taste is excellent, the husband is well-to-do (and she didn’t let us down!), and the scenery is just right, the images turn out luxurious.

I was ready to post all of Belonika's looks over the past year, but I'm afraid it will take me a week. There are, of course, a billion beautiful details. One of them, pimply, looks out of the bag. This is Zhanna B, alter ego,

beauty-drinker,

who, of course, was very lucky in life. The day starts with flowers from a rich admirer, coffee or even a bottle of prosecco,

I saw all the best landscapes of this world,

travels on a private jet,

In no case is it limited in furs and tchotchkes.

People on the Internet are divided into two camps: some take Zhanna seriously and believe that Nika’s passion for the red toad “smells”, others reasonably note that they live much worse than a frog and ask to “adopt” them too.

Certainly! Everyone wants to eat like this

and admire this

and so on (from the bedroom window)

But Belonika, in addition to Zhanna, has five boys (for two with her husband) and a huge, proud Maine Coon cat, Borisych,

so, as Belonika says, #sorry.

Useful tips

In addition to the Belotserskovskaya diet, buy sea bath salts and body cream. This will keep the skin elastic. Many people recommend going to the bathhouse - this way toxins are removed faster.

Belonika strongly recommends reducing the amount of oil in dishes to a minimum. Food should be cooked by steaming or in the oven and in a double boiler. Vegetable soup, in her opinion, is a great option for everyday meals while following this diet.

Nika advises drinking a glass of warm water with lemon every morning on an empty stomach. First, of course, you need to consult a doctor. Especially if you have high acidity.

Ideally, the intervals between meals should be about five hours, and the last meal should occur about 4 hours before bedtime, no later than 19:00.

Nika Belotserkovskaya’s diet implies a plentiful drinking regimen, which should be at least two liters per day. And we must not forget to move - at least forty minutes a day at a brisk pace.

Supply system

We will destroy food 5 times a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner + 2 times broths and snacks. You should have approximately equal intervals between meals. For example, you have breakfast at 8. Accordingly:

8-00 - breakfast 11-00 - snack + broth 14-00 - lunch 16-00 - snack + broth 19-00 - dinner.

The last meal should not be less than four hours before bedtime, and no later than seven! And we drink a lot of mineral water. If you want a donut, drink 2 glasses right away!

There is an option in which you can lose up to ten kilograms per month.

Prohibited on the Belonika diet:

crustacean dishes and animal fats;
deep-frying oils, which contribute to the development of arthosclerosis and cancer;
meat broth;
sweet, flour and instant coffee, due to the consumption of which the absorption of minerals is difficult;

kidneys, liver, heart and brains, lungs.
raw vegetables, fruits and fruit juices should not be consumed in the evening;
alcohol.

Nutrition rules

According to reviews from those who have used the diet, you will not see very quick results. This long-term program triggers the correct course of processes in the body, so it makes no sense to expect lightning-fast results. But after 2-3 weeks, when the kilograms begin to “melt”, weight loss will no longer be stopped. After all, metabolism will acquire a certain speed.

The diet includes three meals a day and two small snacks. Your portions should be small. Eat slowly, focused and calmly, drink plenty of water between meals - up to 3 liters.

You should drink a glass of water 30 minutes before meals. At the same time, drinking water during meals is unacceptable. As soon as you feel full, you need to finish your meal. You should avoid eating raw fruits and vegetables in the evening.

Everyone who followed this regime is advised to move more: walk after eating, walk quickly for half an hour, run or ride a bike every day.

Sample menu for every day

You can make your choice from the products listed below and combine them. Let there be something new every day. Everything is in your hands, you just have to show your imagination. Put together a menu for the week, it’s very disciplined.

Many reviews about the Belonika diet advise you to create a menu for the week. This saves time.

Additional Tips

Vegetables should be present in your diet every day as a side dish, and only vegetarian food is provided three times a week during the day.

You can eat fish 1-3 times a week, preferably white varieties of fish. And meat (light) can be consumed once a week. You need to steam food; many people recommend stewing.

You can drink no more than 3 cups of natural coffee per day. In total, you can drink up to 3 liters of water per day (but not less than 2 liters). You can afford tea, treat yourself to 0.5 beer or 0.25 wine once a week.

Constant control

Since 2000, Nika has been a frequent visitor to a clinic in Austria, which helps to quickly lose weight without gaining it back quickly. Celebrities don’t follow strict diets, and the blogger herself talks about her regime like this: “I choose a not very hungry diet (well, I can’t starve, I can’t), in the morning - two crackers (cheese or salmon to go with them), lunch - vegetable soup and some steamed broccoli, potatoes, asparagus, etc., meat once a week, fish twice. In the evening, only vegetable soup. I'm hungry for the first three days, incredible! Then, the stomach gratefully shuts up and it becomes much easier.) This time I lost five kg. Which is great for me! Eyes appeared and the disgusting chipmunk cheeks disappeared). But this is not the main thing, they somehow miraculously trigger a strange mechanism and over the next week in “freedom” I always (!) lose another five! A wonderful miracle!”

Nika recommends this weight loss mechanism to all her subscribers on social networks, of which today there are more than 2 million on Instagram alone.

Even being in curvaceous shape, the blogger always appeared in public in a great look, wore designer clothes and skillfully selected accessories. By the way, on her Instagram page there are many more photos in the process of cooking than in other roles.

Finally

Nika advises conducting daily “mental hygiene” classes. This concept incorporates the following postulates:

Treat your words and thoughts with great care.
Don't take other people's words too seriously or to heart - they are just a projection of their own reality.
Avoid evil people.
Pamper yourself every day.

Nika Belotserkovskaya’s dieters followed her advice with pleasure. Try it too, if there are no medical contraindications.

Blog as diet support

Another means of remembering is to start a blog where a girl can share her recipes and results; thanks to such a means of mass communication, you can clearly evaluate the positive dynamics.

The years 2009 and 2010 became a turning point in Nika’s life. It was then that Nika began to post photos on social networks less often, and if they appeared, they were very blurry. At one of the social parties, Nika appeared as a rather curvaceous lady. Belotserkovskaya did not appear in public for several months, but then she surprised everyone with this result.

Today Nika Belotserkovskaya is not ashamed of those photos, and says that you need to love yourself and eat right. At the same time, Nika adds that you constantly need to monitor your diet and ensure that it is as healthy and balanced as possible. On all her pages on social networks and on the author’s website you can find more than one diet. It is typical that they are scheduled by day, calculated by calories and money. This is important to estimate your budget for future weight loss. For a visual solution, the blogger shows receipts from stores after making purchases during the diet.
