What is dangerous and why is gluten needed?
Gluten-free nutrition was developed specifically for patients suffering from celiac disease, an autoimmune disease in which the natural functions of the intestines and peristalsis are disrupted. This disease occurs in one person in a hundred. With this pathology, gluten is not recognized by the patient’s immune system, and the body devotes all its strength to fighting it. But the problem is that the structure of gluten protein is similar to the cells of the thyroid and pancreatic glands and some tissues. As a result, the body begins to destroy itself. This is the main drawback of a diet rich in gluten for both a sick person and a healthy one.
But it should be understood that such symptoms are characteristic of people with celiac disease or suffering from individual gluten intolerance. In all other cases, the question of whether a special diet is needed or not should be decided individually with a weight loss specialist.
Authorized Products
The basis of the Mukhina diet is primarily protein products, so when preparing dishes it is best to use:
- low-fat varieties of fish and meat, and offal - liver;
- soy products (butter, tofu, etc.);
- Every week you can eat 2 chicken eggs.
Fermented milk products are given special importance. You need to eat two jars of natural yogurt every day with the lowest fat content you can find, ideally 0%. It can be eaten with chopped fruits and berries as a filling and healthy snack. In addition, you can regularly pamper yourself with noble, spongy hard cheeses - up to 100 g of Roquefort, Dutch, Russian or any other to choose from, the main thing is 100% natural without impurities, dyes and trans fats .
It is recommended to compensate for the lack of carbohydrates and fiber with vegetables, which can be eaten raw, boiled or steamed. When choosing products in the store, do not forget to grab:
- zucchini or zucchini;
- cucumbers;
- eggplant;
- ripe tomatoes;
- salad pepper;
- asparagus, green beans or peas;
- pumpkin;
- assorted greens;
- carrot;
- raw mushrooms;
- onions and garlic can be consumed only after heat treatment.
Dr. Mukhina considers persimmons, kiwis, pears, apricots, all citrus fruits and, of course, pineapples to be the healthiest fruits for losing weight.
To replenish the water balance, the nutritionist sets a fluid intake rate of at least 1.5-2 liters per day, which can be achieved not only with still water, tea and coffee, but also with freshly squeezed juices and fruit drinks.

Not all miracle foods are good for weight loss
What was popular yesterday has lost its relevance today. And completely in vain. After all, fashionable trends in the field of dietetics have elevated foods that are essentially not healthy to a cult. This is exactly what expert in the field of nutrition, reflexologist Mariyat Mukhina reminds us of. According to the nutritionist, people these days are too focused on healthy foods and may consume them in excess. And this inevitably leads to weight gain.
For example, let's say you're following a keto diet and know that your diet should be 30 percent healthy fats. Therefore, with a clear conscience, you consume milk, kefir and cottage cheese with 5% fat content. Eat handfuls of seeds and nuts, eat a whole avocado every morning, and generously drizzle your evening salad with vegetable oil. If you add up all the calories you eat, it turns out that you will more than exceed your daily requirement.

Your salad won't be that healthy. After all, 100 grams of sunflower oil contain a colossal number of calories – about 900 kcal. But in general, an avocado is about 400 kcal. So think about whether it’s worth leaning on healthy fats or whether it’s better to replace them with lower-calorie analogues.
Fully or partially limited products
Mukhina’s diet is considered quite strict, as it recommends completely avoiding:
- from simple easily digestible carbohydrates (pasta, bakery and confectionery products);
- from fats (it is possible to use only healthy vegetable oils, for example, olive, hemp, pumpkin, etc.);
- from sugar;
- from any sausages, semi-finished products;
- you need to give up cereals, pickles and smoked foods;
- among seafood, crab sticks are prohibited;
- sweet fatty yoghurts with a long shelf life, curd masses and processed cheeses are not allowed;
- locked - corn, potatoes, bananas, grapes.

What is gluten
Gluten or gluten (from the Latin Gluten - glue) is a special protein found in seeds and cereal plants. There is especially a lot of it in wheat, rye, and barley.
Gluten in its pure form is a dry white powder without taste, color or smell. But when water is added, it turns into a sticky mass, reminiscent of jelly. Due to it, the dough rises during baking and becomes elastic. The more gluten in the flour, the better and more fluffy the baked goods will be.
Gluten is found in many foods. Let's take a closer look at the main gluten-containing products:
| Contain gluten | Have “hidden” gluten |
| Hidden gluten is damaged, altered gluten molecules resulting from processing.
|
It is necessary to carefully study the composition of products, but you cannot always trust the “gluten free” label. It all depends on the honesty of the manufacturer.

Protein instead of carbohydrates
If we talk about more substantial food, then Mukhina suggests giving preference to low-fat varieties of fish, liver, and lean meat. In general, eating more protein is a good idea. Since protein takes a long time to digest and provides a feeling of fullness for a long time.
Meat and seafood have another clear advantage over traditional carbohydrates. They are your allies in losing weight, as they force your body to draw energy from fat reserves.
In addition to lean meat and fish, Mukhina recommends consuming boiled eggs (but no more than two per week) and soy products (milk, beans, tofu). Among yoghurts, give preference to natural ingredients without dyes, sugar or preservatives. By the way, a healthy dairy dessert can be made at home. To prevent the taste of yogurt from seeming bland, add a small handful of natural berries to your serving.
Our expert today also recommends eating hard, porous cheeses with minimal fat content. Make sure that the product does not contain chemical additives or preservatives.
Any unnatural supplements are your enemies in achieving slimness. For this reason, exclude crab sticks from your protein diet.

Foods to Avoid
The following is a list of foods that harm the weight loss process:
- sugar;
- vegetable and butter;
- pasta, bakery products, sweets;
- sausages, meat delicacies;
- frozen semi-finished products;
- cereals, whole grains;
- smoked meats and pickles;
- sweet curd masses and ready-made yoghurts with fillings;
- potato;
- corn.
The nutritionist allows the occasional use of hemp, pumpkin, almond and olive oils in the diet. The main thing is not to exceed the calorie intake norm for a person losing weight (about 1400-1500 kcal with moderate physical activity).
Adviсe
Despite the availability of the proposed menu, it is better to resort to a diet after consulting a doctor and nutritionist, who will be able to create an individual diet for you, taking into account the body’s susceptibility and deposits, and determine the daily calorie content based on your height, weight, regular energy expenditure and gender.
Remember that obesity is also a disease that, like any other, requires treatment. Otherwise, there is a risk of developing tachycardia , hypertension , diabetes mellitus , and detecting problems with blood vessels and joints.
Expert recommendations
Before you start losing weight, read the basic recommendations of a nutritionist. This is very important to achieve the best results. What should you do to avoid harming your health? First, choose the optimal vitamin complex for yourself. After all, any diet implies restrictions.

Secondly, give up all bad habits that whet your appetite: smoking, drinking alcohol, watching TV at night.
Thirdly, do not sit at home without moving. Strong physical activity and walks in the fresh air will further improve metabolic processes in the body.
And the last thing: develop a daily routine, write down the hours of meals in it. Stay on schedule. Try to consume food consciously, without distractions - a running TV, chatter from relatives, or a switched-on phone. Enjoy the taste of food and monitor your feeling of fullness.
Results and reviews of Mukhina’s diet without earrings
Reviews about the diet can be found completely different. Many are not impressed by the results obtained without using earrings, but there are girls who claim that in a month they were able to lose at least 5, maximum 10 kg.
Mukhina’s official website suggests using the services of specialists who have been trained and know all the intricacies of the technique; you can get consultations in different cities - not only in Moscow, St. Petersburg, but also in Tver, Krasnogorsk and Chelyabinsk.
Positive reviews and comments about Mukhina’s proposed methodology speak for themselves:
- “...I went specifically to the Tver region to have a gold earring put on, I’m happy with the result, it’s easier to lose weight, there are no such pangs of hunger”;
- “...But it seems to me that you can do without earrings, the main thing is not to lose your temper over sweets and buns”;
- “...I lost 18 kg in a month and without any earrings.”
Reviews
Katya, 29 years old. I lost weight without earrings, eating according to Dr. Mukhina’s diet for six months. As a result, I managed to lose 24 kg. Of course, with a golden needle, it might be easier for me to limit myself in food, because the diet is not easy. But I had a strong motivation - to arrange my personal life, which, with my 98 kg, seemed unrealistic to me. Now everything is fine, the wedding is coming soon!
Oksana, 31 years old. The purpose of the needle is to make it easier for those who have real problems with weight, appetite, metabolism, etc. to maintain a diet. At first, I also arrogantly refused this decoration, but I was only able to stay on Mukhina’s diet for 4 days, after which I had a breakdown. The second time I went to the clinic, they put an earring in my ear, and periodically I went to acupuncture sessions. My appetites moderated, it was much easier. Therefore, the positive result was not long in coming - minus 18 kg in 7 months. In addition, I swam twice a week and started doing callanetics.
Diet price
Mukhina will not be able to save much money on her diet. Despite the reduced caloric content of the diet, products should be fresh, dietary and healthy. Even if you buy everything at a minimum and in bulk, the daily menu will cost at least 300 rubles, because per day you need: 2 cans of low-fat yogurt, 200 g of meat or fish, 200 g of fruit and 400 g of vegetables. And that's not even counting tea, coffee, cheese, eggs and other things.
In general, the cost of dietary food for a week will be approximately 2,100 rubles, for a month – no more than 10 thousand rubles.
Who is a gluten-free diet suitable for?
Special nutrition and a gluten-free diet should be prescribed by a weight loss specialist. It is usually prescribed for the following diseases:
- celiac disease;
- autism;
- hyper-excitability;
- nervous system disorders: schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder, etc.;
- skin and dermatological diseases, especially psoriasis, vitiligo;
- frequent migraines;
- autoimmune hepatitis;
- diabetes;
- atherosclerosis;
- obesity.
If the patient does not have any of the diseases listed above, then it is better to use other methods for losing weight. One option is to go to a good weight loss clinic. It uses a special integrated approach that combines the principles of proper nutrition and psychotherapy. Specialists teach the patient to distinguish between “good and bad” foods, to create a menu on their own, to be able to cope with life’s problems, and not to eat stress and fatigue. They are able to accurately determine the reasons for gaining extra pounds and get rid of them. This method is officially recognized by the world scientific community and is considered the most optimal and safe for health.
Mukhina Clinic. Network of clinics "Origitea"
The clinic owes this unusual name to its creator. Mariyat herself explains that it comes from the Japanese “arigato,” meaning “thank you,” and says that this name fully reflects her attitude to life: to give beauty with gratitude.
At first, the nutritionist worked in a reflexology program at the Tver Cardiocenter, and in 2003 she opened her first clinic, which at first was located in a former apartment. And by 2007, the network already included 11 clinics in Russia: in Tver, Chelyabinsk, Vladivostok, St. Petersburg, Krasnogorsk, Mytishchi, Kolomna and 4 in Moscow. There are Mukhina’s clinics abroad: in Ukrainian Kyiv, German Baden-Baden, Swiss Montreux. Patient reviews of the Origitea clinic in Tver are very favorable. People share their impressions of undergoing acupuncture procedures and healing from various ailments.
Some nuances
An important feature of the described diet is a complete refusal of snacks, as well as a ban on eating after 18-00.
If for some reason you were not able to have dinner before this time, then you should forget about it for today. All you can do is drink kefir, yogurt or another drink that is not prohibited by the diet before going to bed.
There are some other important nuances: You cannot eat fruits and vegetables during one meal. Food should be divided into small pieces that need to be chewed very thoroughly.
The initial diet is designed for 1 month, during which, according to its author, you can lose 10 (or even more) kilograms. True, this can happen provided that you use the “golden needle”.
There is no doubt that following such a strict diet will allow you to get good results even without acupuncture decoration.
It is more necessary for people who are overweight and obese. They may have difficulty controlling their appetite, which does not always decrease on its own.
