34-year-old Russian singer, composer, actress and model Polina Gagarina lost 40 kilograms in just 6 months and was transformed beyond recognition. Many fans even think that she went too far. However, the actress is proud of herself and feels great. Things have also gone uphill - today Polina is offered participation in new and new projects.
Polina Gagarina lost 40 kilograms
The performer of the single “The Performance is Over” is in demand and popular, but she is not relaxing even now. Anyone who has lost weight knows: losing weight is not as difficult as keeping it off. Under no circumstances should Polina gain weight, so there is no and will not be a return to junk food. Gagarina still adheres to proper nutrition, tries not to eat after six, moves a lot and periodically practices fasting days and express diets, one of which is the highly effective “Week”. In 7 days of the diet, you can lose from 4 to 5 kilograms of excess weight, “drain” the water and regain your former lightness.

Note that this diet is suitable only for short-term use and only for small excess weight. This is an ideal option if you need to lose a little weight for a vacation, holiday, or just because. If you have 10–15 or more kilograms of excess weight, it is better to choose a more long-term and gentle method. For example, the Manhattan diet may be suitable.

Polina Gagarina’s “Week” diet lasts 5–7 days. It is not designed for a longer period. At the end of the course, it is important to switch to a normal diet. However, your regular diet should consist exclusively of the right foods. You can repeat the diet no earlier than after 1–2 months.
General rules
Many people were interested in the question: how did Polina Gagarina lose weight after giving birth? It is worth noting that the popular singer tried a lot of diets that did not give any results at all, and also spoiled her health and mood. In her interview, Polina said that nutrition systems that required scrupulous calorie counting were rejected by her immediately. Polina did not like such a boring activity at all. And as a result, the girl developed her own nutrition system, which helped first her, and then thousands of women, to get rid of excess weight and achieve the desired slimness. The diet has virtually no side effects, is quite well tolerated and is based on a healthy diet.
Flaws
However, there are also some negative aspects that any diet has:
- The maximum duration is two weeks, after which you must gradually return to your standard diet. If you want to stay on the diet system longer, it is better to try the Scandinavian diet.
- “Rice days” can seem hungry and very monotonous - it takes willpower not to break down.
- There may be a general deterioration in health: weakness, dizziness, bad mood. In this case, you must immediately stop losing weight and consult a doctor.
- A radical change in taste habits - not everyone is ready to change their diet so radically.
Authorized Products
To reduce her weight, the singer preferred low-calorie products. The priority is proteins and easily digestible carbohydrates. It is allowed to eat greens and vegetables, and meat products – fish and lean meats. Berries and fruits should be bright colors. Eating nuts and seafood is allowed. Soups and broths should be low-fat. When choosing dairy products, preference should be given to products with low fat content. Drinks include herbal tea and plain still water.

Polina Gagarina's diet menu (Meal plan)
A short version has been developed, which lasts 5 days. Let's look at the menu for every day.
| Day I | On this day you can only eat boiled brown rice. It must be prepared without salt, spices, sugar or sauces. Rice can be eaten in unlimited quantities. Every day you need to drink 2 liters of clean still water. |
| Day II | On this day, eating chicken fillet is allowed. Removing the skin is mandatory. Chicken can be baked, boiled or steamed. The dish should be prepared without salt, seasonings or sauces. Compliance with the drinking regime is mandatory. |
| Day III | On the third day, you are allowed to eat any non-starchy vegetables. Vegetables can be subjected to heat treatment and can be eaten fresh. It is more rational to prepare vegetable salads and season them with lemon juice. |
| Day IV | The fourth day is dedicated to vegetarian soup. You can use any vegetables to prepare it. Soup can be consumed in unlimited quantities. |
| Day V | The fifth day is fermented milk. Low-fat cottage cheese and low-fat kefir are allowed for consumption. You can eat green apples. The listed products can be passed through a blender and prepared into cocktails, or they can be consumed separately. |
If the diet is well tolerated, it can be repeated.
Principle and basic rules of nutrition
The famous composer and model relied on a number of diets and was guided by her own priorities in choosing a diet.
The basic rules it follows are:
- To lose weight, you can't stick to a sparse eating schedule. You need to eat in small portions, four or five times a day;
- last meal – strictly two hours before bedtime;
- carbohydrate-rich dishes are only good for breakfast;
- sugar and flour are completely excluded; for dessert it is better to take fresh berries or nuts.
Polina's weight loss diet includes the following features:
- a spoonful of honey is allowed in the first half of the day;
- For lunch, be sure to prepare soup and boiled meat or fish in combination with vegetable salad;
- afternoon snack includes cottage cheese, fruit;
- Dinner dishes should be low-calorie - definitely boiled seafood, steamed vegetables, kefir.
In addition to giving up sweets, the singer suggests forgetting salt. All dishes must contain a minimum amount of this seasoning. The drinking regime requires from one and a half liters of water, which can be combined with green tea, herbal infusions and freshly squeezed juices. The lower the calorie content of the developed diet, the faster the weight loss process will go.

The nutritional principle that Polina relies on is alternating days with a menu rich in proteins and days when the main emphasis is on carbohydrates.
Quitting the diet
The first time after the diet, you need to monitor your diet as carefully as during the diet. Don't overeat on junk and fatty foods. Introduce new foods into your diet gradually, adding cereals, fish, lean meat, and fruits. Try to eat frequently and keep your portions small. It is important to maintain an adequate drinking regime and consume at least 1.5 liters of clean water. Be sure to play sports, pay attention to simple walks in the fresh air. If you exit the diet correctly, excess weight will not return to you.
What Polina looked like before losing weight
In her youth, Polina was by no means skinny. Although her weight could not be called critical (56 kilograms), compared to her peers, the Factory participants, happy owners of a wasp waist and narrow boyish hips, the girl seemed plump.
Everything changed when Polina became pregnant and began to rapidly gain weight due to her increased appetite. She devoured confectionery with pleasure; not a single tea party was complete without a high-calorie sweet dessert.
As a result, after giving birth, Gagarina gained 30 kilograms! According to the singer, it was very unpleasant for her to observe such unattractive changes in appearance. The problem required a radical solution.
Polina's feelings are familiar to every woman. Indeed, it’s annoying when you have to buy clothes a couple sizes larger, since the previous one is catastrophically small. And the appetite, meanwhile, does not seem to subside, adding more and more centimeters to the waist.
The example of Polina, who stunned the public with her new appearance, lost weight, became prettier and changed her hair color, deserves sincere admiration.
Having shown willpower and enlisted the support of her family and friends, the singer was able to fully recover after childbirth, losing 40 kilograms. Now, thanks to a simple and very effective diet, Polina’s figure is impeccable.
Contraindications
Dietary nutrition according to Gagarina has practically no contraindications, because is quite balanced and short-lasting. Limited nutrition is not recommended for pregnant women, as well as for persons suffering from chronic diseases of the digestive tract ( colitis, gastritis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, etc.). Before the diet, you need to undergo an examination and consult with your doctor about the possibility of carrying out a protein-carbohydrate diet.

The marriage of the Hollywood actress and Prince Rainier III of Monaco seemed ideal, but behind the beautiful picture there were secrets that became known later. Grace was unhappy in her marriage. The life of the monarch's wife was full of rules and restrictions; her three children (Caroline, Albert and Stephanie) grew up spoiled and did not make her happy. Over time, her husband lost interest in her, and the more she tried to please him, the more he moved away from her.
It is known that Kelly had four miscarriages, the last occurring in 1967, after which she was informed that she would not be able to have any more children. Grace died in 1982 in a car accident.

Principles and duration of the author's methodology
The main advantage of such weight loss is a lasting result. After finishing the diet, the weight does not return if you follow the following principles:
- After eating, you should leave the table with a slight feeling of hunger.
- It is important to eat fractional meals and eat in small portions.
- It is necessary to observe equal time intervals between doses.
- Exercise daily: exercise, jog or go to the gym.
- Instead of wheat flour products, eat Borodino bread or wholemeal bread.
- Drink as much fluid as possible. Polina recommends still mineral water. You should avoid carbonated drinks.
- All products must be low-calorie. Meals should contain a minimum amount of fat, up to 10% protein and 7% carbohydrates. This ratio of components will not allow you to get hungry while losing weight.
- To avoid feeling weak and tired, eat foods high in vitamins.
It is recommended to lose weight for a maximum of a week. Then they take a break for a month and again, if necessary, use this fasting scheme.
Interesting information about this diet:
Important Terms
- Avoid fried potatoes. As a last resort, baked potatoes are allowed.
- All dishes must be steamed or boiled. Such cooking methods allow you to preserve all nutrients as much as possible and benefit the body.
- Completely avoid baked goods, sweet buns and cakes. Bread is allowed to be consumed only if it is prepared using rye flour.
- Avoid alcoholic beverages completely. In addition to the negative impact on health, they are also high in calories.
- Try to eat more vegetables and fruits, including as snacks. Daily consumption of half a kilogram of vegetables and fruits ensures normal functioning of the digestive tract.
- Soups and broths should be prepared from lean meat (veal, turkey, rabbit, chicken). Properly prepared soup is a source of protein, normalizes the functioning of the digestive tract, and relieves hunger for a long time.
- Get at least 8 hours of sleep every day.
- Try not to have dinner after 18:00.
- Pay special attention to seafood consumption.
- Exercise 3-4 times a week.
Physical exercise
Sports and active exercise are also required in the weight loss and diet system. After the birth of her son, Polina Gagarina studied at the Moscow Art Theater, so she had serious physical training there. Every day she studied stage movement, fencing, and dramatic dancing for several hours with choreographer Alla Sigalova. All this actively helped the process of losing weight.
But now the singer keeps in shape with mandatory cardio training, which she needs to perform at the concert. Gagarina also goes in for swimming, running, dancing, and rehearses numbers and programs. She gives about 10 concerts a month; according to Polina, after each one she loses almost a kilogram.
Polina Gagarina also always goes to the sauna. This helps relax muscles, prevents the formation of cellulite, improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow. She considers healthy and full sleep, at least eight hours, to be an important point.
As Polina Gagarina admits, she does not have personal cosmetologists, nutritionists, trainers or other specialists. She focuses on the needs of her body and listens to her inner voice. Establishing a connection with yourself and learning to understand yourself is very important and useful.
