Writer Tatyana Ustinova told “Lose Weight Correctly”, which made her lose weight by almost 60 kg, why he considers the universal race for model parameters to be wrong and admitted that the best vacation for her is a family feast with conversations.

They talk about your weight loss with enthusiasm. We are primarily interested in your motivation - what was the impetus for change?

Painful condition. I realized that I can’t live like this anymore - with a height of 180 cm, I weighed 200 kg. I was physically sick. When readers ask me how to lose weight, I always say that you need to answer the question for yourself - why. If you are 40 years old, having given birth to two children, wear the 52nd size, but want to wear the 36th - this is bullshit! If a woman at 40 weighs the same as at 18, this means that she is not healthy, her endocrine system is out of order. The weight did not bother me until he crossed all reasonable boundaries. I could not sleep, I started having nightmares, I began to choke, it seemed to me that I was about to die. We called an ambulance because we did not suspect that the source of my problems was weight. The doctors said that I was as healthy as a bull: cardiogram, pressure - everything is in order. Has made KT, MRT, electronic research of a brain - that's all right. But I began to fall when walking, I had swelling and shortness of breath. Then my doctor friend said that I should get rid of excess weight. And then there was a completely medical history. I went through various doctors - a phlebologist, an endocrinologist, a cardiologist, a surgeon, and only at the last moment went to a nutritionist. Not vice versa. It is necessary that all specialists write a program for the treatment of the disease. This program took me almost seven years. Now I weigh 100 kg, that is, I have not turned into a fashion model, but I got rid of the problems.

What rules have you followed these years?

I can not boast that I am a strong-willed woman. Under medical supervision, I reduced the amount of food very, very slowly. For example, I love sorrel soup. And if I could eat a bowl of soup, now I eat a creamer - and I'm full. But the journey from the basin to the bowl took seven years, I gradually reduced the portions, literally by the spoonful. Therefore, I did not have any breakdowns, because food restriction, diets are a terrible stress, a fright for the body. We love meat at the stake. I ate three skewers, and now I eat three pieces - and I don’t want to anymore. I taught myself to eat some soup for lunch and dinner - now I love it. Diet food doesn't have to be tasteless. I learned how to make everything delicious: pureed soups of mushrooms, spinach, cauliflower, young green peas and lentils. The only thing that was hard for me to refuse was a sandwich with sausage. I like fresh bread with a thick piece of boiled sausage or with a thin raw smoked one. I didn’t eat this for a very long time, but now I can afford it in small quantities.

Does your family support the New Deal?

Yes, because the main thing for men is tasty. I stopped cooking side dishes for meat, we now have light salads. The simplest thing we love: thickly sliced ​​cucumbers with coarse sea salt and plenty of olive oil. It's also great for peristalsis. By the way, we never ate fish, moreover, I was allergic to it. And now I love nothing more than a piece of fish, poured with a light sauce with herbs, shrimp with herbs and lemon. And no allergies.

Have you experimented with diets before?

Oh sure. I lost a lot of weight during my first pregnancy, because all nine months I suffered from severe toxicosis, I could neither eat nor smell food. I had a wonderful doctor who said that a child in the womb is so protected and harmonious that even from a glass of milk he will take everything he needs and be born healthy. The son was born 4 kg in weight, and now he is 190 cm tall. I then lost 25 kg, but then gained quickly and a lot. With my second son, I lost 10 kilograms, but gained it again. And then, like any girl whose youth fell on the 90s, I got into this rigmarole with glossy magazines. Now I understand that this is nonsense, and that my sixth breast size is not a misfortune, but a godsend for my husband, and then it seemed to me that I was a freak. And I began to try some kind of rice water, kefir fasting days, eating buckwheat porridge with honey ... All this resulted in severe suffering, because I really love to eat and I can’t not eat! Since then, I have been a principled opponent of diets, I do not believe that a diet can be universal for everyone. If you gained an extra 1.5 kg over the summer, then this is not overweight. Just go from fried pork to fish for a week and the sizes will shrink.

How do you feel before and after losing weight?

The process of losing weight was long and slow, but of course, I improved my health. My blood pressure leveled off, shortness of breath disappeared. There were changes in taste - I fell in love with what I didn’t like or didn’t eat before: fish, seafood, soups, asparagus. I have made my life easier in terms of clothes. Plus size clothing in Russia is just a disaster, it is miserable, but it simply does not exist. Now I enjoy the fact that in many stores in the last row there is something in my size. This is my main pleasure.

Do you do fitness?

As it was not in my life, so it is not. Of course, we sometimes ride bicycles, go cross-country skiing, twice a year at the sea or in the pool I swim. But there is no talk of any regular physical activity. This, of course, is outdated and bad. But why should I go to a fitness club to pump press? I'm not sure it's good: a place of 100 square meters where a hundred people sweat, grunt, cough. And the simulator is wiped after the same sufferer as me? No matter how expensive the club is, everything is the same there.

Have you ever wanted to experiment with style?

I just think that I changed dramatically when I dyed my hair blonde, because I just turned gray. I am in my 40s and now I understand how to dress to look good. A pink ruffled dress will make me feel awkward, and stiletto heels will probably make me fall because I have astigmatism and I keep counting crows all the time. But I love long skirts and strange dresses. I have 229 pairs of glasses for every day, I love jewelry very much. I love shoes, especially on different platforms. I like jeans and ripped t-shirts. And now I can afford it all!

Women who work as a face sooner or later go to beauty salons. What do you do to like yourself in the frame?

We have gentle genetics in the female line - we are slowly aging. In my case, various wrinkle care products help me. But I understand that this effect is superficial and short-lived. I am loyal to plastic surgery, but so far I don’t think about it and I don’t want to inject anything into myself, because I don’t really believe in it. I still have enough facial massage and seaweed masks that my beautician makes for me.

FAMILY IS ESSENTIAL

Your heroines in novels are like Cinderellas. At first everything is bad for them, and then it’s good - always a man, love, family. Why this particular scenario?

For me, a possible, understandable and harmonious arrangement of the world is a family, children, parents, sisters, brothers, nephews. I just write about the life that I myself know and understand. The worst thing is when a person has everything, because then he has no reason to develop and eventually understand why he came here. Is it just to eat and shit? From my point of view, Cinderellas are all of us: boys, girls, adults and young. We all endlessly reflect, we don’t refine, we don’t get it, we all feel bad, we gnaw ourselves, reproach, complex. 300 thousand people can tell you that you are great, and you will think that this is not so until you see approval in those only eyes that matter to you. The most important thing for me is family. It is not customary for us to scold each other and criticize. There are a lot of people around who will criticize. And the family is a fortress, behind the walls of which you know ironically that no one will ever hurt you. Without it, you are barefoot, naked and on the edge of a cliff. We are always for each other.

How do you feel about praise?

I'm shy, I'm embarrassed, my ears are on fire, I huddle up and say - you're wrong. But then I remember the words, I'm pleased, I talk about it at home. Of course, I have bouts of self-criticism, when I suddenly realize that I'm mediocre, nobody, I'm doing something incomprehensible and I don't deserve to be in literature. I am always dissatisfied with myself.

Today, everyone easily gets married and divorced, and you and your husband have been together for a hundred years. What is your relationship based on?

This is Love. I always tell girls - choose interesting men. Not for beauty, not for wallets. My husband confuses Anastasia Volochkova with Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, it is impossible to discuss secular news with him. But he is an educated man, and I like that. He tells such things about everything around, which are extremely interesting to me. And all the years he finds something to tell me and how to surprise me. When my husband goes on a business trip, it happens for three weeks, my whole life immediately goes wrong. There is no one to talk to the eldest son, no one to solve geometry with the younger one, no one to walk the dog, no one to take care of the cornice ... In my coordinate system, the universe is built around a man. Of course, a woman builds it, but she builds it around an axis.

You have three men in your family, do you manage to pamper them with something tasty?

I don't believe those women who say they don't have time to cook. If you have a family, children, then you cook. And I cook every day. My husband arrives, I get out from behind the computer, sometimes cursing everything, sometimes fluttering joyfully, and it starts: spaghetti with basil and tomatoes, roast duck, rooster in wine, halibut in white sauce ... I like to stand by the stove. When I leave, my husband dominates the kitchen, his signature dish is fried steaks with pasta ( laughs). And there are always a lot of people at our house - our friends and friends of children. We are such Georgians - we accept everyone, we feed from the heart, we talk. And the conversation in these stories occupies a huge place.

Where is the best place for you to relax?

In the Baltics, my husband's homeland. White sand, sea, strong wind, bright sun, a cup of coffee after sex, a white sofa on green grass, a wooden pier so that no one is there so that you can read the Nibelungenlied in the morning - a completely incomprehensible and unrelated work . So that you can sit in the water and run into a tiny spa with a massage therapist. So that you can go to the cathedral for an organ concert and to the royal castle for an exhibition of paintings. And at home, the perfect vacation is a delicious dinner while talking. We talk endlessly without closing our mouths. And when everyone goes on business - an English series, a warm blanket, favorite jeans and a sofa.

Tatyana Vitalievna, you not only write books, but also broadcast on radio and television. How do you prepare and recover after filming?

We are recording several interviews for the program "My Hero". If we talk about psychological preparation, then it is important for me to find in the interlocutor what interests me personally, whether it is his love or relationship with my grandmother, passion for a car or dogs. If a person is not interested, then a boring, long and tiresome story will turn out for everyone. And physically it’s really hard to sit for an hour and a half, straightening your back. You get out from under the camera and you realize that you are skewed to one side, and there are three more heroes ahead and you need to somehow contrive and skew to the other side in order to sit straight again. Therefore, after recording several programs, I try to be like a massage therapist for at least three sessions. My masseur, a former athlete, sees me and every time he says: “Oh, how you’ve been shattered!”

You live in the suburbs. What is the thrill of country life for you?

Believe it or not, we work there. I won’t even come up with fairy tales about how we kayak along our river or run in the park ... Although my husband has been running his cross for 30 years. Life outside the city is a habitual form of existence for us, I was born and raised in Zhukovsky near Moscow. We are used to the fact that our personal space is limited not by the walls of the apartment, but by the fence. We need our own yard to let the dogs out there, to sit in a hammock ourselves, to look at the grass, and not at the asphalt. Kaif - in the freedom of space.

I suspect it's easy to relax there. Do you have a work schedule?

There is. You can't work on a novel today, quit tomorrow, and continue in two days. I need a month and a half to write a novel, which means that during this time I don’t plan interviews, I don’t go to television, I don’t sympathize with widows, I don’t comfort orphans, I don’t treat the sick, I don’t answer calls. I don't get up until nine in the morning. I drink tea and only English. My eldest son Misha and I are passionate tea lovers. You know, Anna Akhmatova divided people according to three criteria: the first - tea, dog, Pasternak, and the second - coffee, cat, Mandelstam. So here I am first laughs). After I drink tea in the morning, I write for three hours. At 12 I have breakfast, for example, scrambled eggs, pancakes or cottage cheese. Sometimes a sandwich with sprats, yes, I love them very much. Then I close myself in the office again and do not go out until seven in the evening, when my husband arrives from work. Of course, I know that I need to take breaks, gymnastics, go to exercise therapy and so on. But all this at the time of work on the text is impossible.

I AM AGAINST DIET

5 tips from Tatyana Ustinova

1. Never quarrel at night or before work, otherwise you will not have time to make up and the day or night will be ruined.

2. Do not spare money for good shoes, because this is what wears us and keeps us on the ground.

3. Try to eat deliciously, because we are on earth in a bodily shell, and it deserves proper and tasty food.

4. Try not to pay attention to trifles that have nothing to do with you. If your aunt called you and said that it's time for you to divorce your husband, say that you will come to her with a cake. And throw her words out of your head, you should not dive into it.

5. Watch good movies and read good books, some of them, as Oscar Wilde said, were written specifically for this.

Today we will find out how Tatyana Ustinova lost weight. Is it true that she adhered to a rigid methodology? And in a record time - six months - has changed beyond recognition?

A skinny cow is not yet a gazelle

It seems that the popular Russian writer has been bombarded with questions (by both journalists and fans) about her weight loss. I studied many interviews and found out that Tatyana Ustinova is not at all proud of her “feat”.

A decade ago, a woman with a height of 180 cm weighed about 189 kg. Such an impressive figure did not frighten Ustinova. She admitted to reporters that she always loved to eat, and quite high-calorie food.

She has never been on a diet in her life. Tatyana loved herself and her body to every fold, to every curve. She still does not understand the fashion for skinny figures.

The writer claims that public opinion is indifferent to her. And she will never have the now fashionable weight of 50-55 kg.

A journey of 7 years

Some online publications inform that Ustinova lost weight by such a colossal figure in a fairly short period of time - 6 months.

Actually it is not. The writer lost her weight slowly for seven years!

Treats are a thousand, but health is one

Tatyana had to embark on the path of losing weight due to life circumstances: she began to have serious health problems. Moreover, the woman sincerely did not understand what was wrong with her.

She was tormented by nightmares, she suffered from edema, and soon attacks of suffocation began at night. The TV presenter called an ambulance several times, went to different doctors (endocrinologist, phlebologist, neurologist, etc.). However, an accurate diagnosis was not made, and the condition of the body became even worse.

The inspiration for a woman came thanks to one incident. In the morning, getting ready for work, Ustinova put on sneakers and could not lace them up ... because of her huge belly!

Here Tatyana realized that all health problems - And then she immediately turned to a nutritionist who built a healthy diet system.

R-time - and the problem was solved?

Ustinova admitted that there was only one meeting with a nutritionist for 7 years of the weight loss process. She received general recommendations and independently began to understand her diet.

The TV presenter had to completely revise her diet. However, she never went hungry, she always remained full and in a good mood. Tatyana says that she has significantly reduced her portion sizes.

Ustinova recalls that earlier, in order to eat to satiety (or “from the belly”), she used three kebab skewers or a pot of soup. And now he eats up a “human” portion - three slices or a cup of stew.

Of course, the woman did not immediately come to this portion size. She did everything step by step. And she lost weight on ordinary, familiar products.

As the writer says, the extra weight began to slowly go away. After 3 months, she rejoiced at the first successes: nightmares and asthma attacks disappeared. And the arrow on the scales showed -10 kg.

foundation of the foundations

Friends, are you also wondering what menu Tatyana Ustinova had? To this request, the writer shared information with her fans.

There are no frills in her dishes. All products are available to anyone. The main thing is to carefully monitor their composition.

But the woman spoke about her vision of a healthy diet. She followed (and still does) the following rules:

• One dish per meal. For example, for lunch, the TV presenter eats only mashed soup or fish with brown rice. She does not accept various salads as an addition.
• Refusal of flour and sweets. Allows himself marshmallows, marmalade, honey, dried fruits in the morning.
• Replacing food waste with healthy food (for example, mayonnaise with sour cream, fried pork with stewed beef).
• For the most part (at the moment) consumes fish and seafood. Meat is eaten, but rarely and mostly lean (chicken, turkey, rabbit, etc.).
• The cooking process is gentle and with a minimum of salt. It is important to cook, stew, bake without the use of refined oil.
• Drink as much water as you need. It is not worth pouring 2-3 liters of liquid into yourself if there is no thirst.
• Food is fractional. 5-6 times a day. The last meal is 3-4 hours before bedtime.

Tatyana Ustinova is of the opinion that it is necessary to cook the dishes yourself. She is convinced that buckwheat and chicken breast can get boring for any person in a short period of time.

Therefore, in the kitchen it is important to come up with original dishes. They definitely will not get bored and the process of losing weight will be doubly pleasant.

Physical activity - to be

The TV presenter admitted that the sport is very far from her. She is not into any kind of fitness. She finds it boring and monotonous. But active recreation attracts Ustinova.

She is not averse to riding a bike around the suburbs of the holiday village or go skiing in the forest on a frosty day. The main thing is that a loving husband and children are nearby.

Approximate diet

However, with one caveat: this diet is right for her and does not mean that it will work for someone else. Do you want to know what the menu for the week of the famous author of detective novels looks like?

Finally

A well-known TV presenter told reporters that losing 90 kg affected her worldview. If it were not for health problems, she would never have decided to lose weight, because she was in her comfort zone and in harmony with herself.

Now the writer chooses a healthy lifestyle. The woman believes that her diet is completely balanced, because in all seven years of weight loss she has never experienced a breakdown.

Never went hungry. And she never rushed the process, because “losing weight by the beach season at any cost” is not about her.

To date, Tatiana's weight is 100 kg. It would seem a catastrophic figure. And here it is not. Look at the photo before and after the transformation.

Well, how? Impressive?

What to remember

Tatyana Ustinova is a well-known TV presenter and author of detective novels. For most of her life she had an impressive weight - almost 200 kg with a height of 180 cm. She loved (and still does) delicious food, especially high-calorie foods.

However, serious health problems forced Ustinova to embark on the path of a healthy lifestyle. The process of losing weight by 90 kg took 7 years.

Now a woman maintains her mass and does not seek to get model parameters.

The writer has reduced her weight thanks to a complete revision of the diet. She removed food waste from it, reduced the size of portions. And she began to eat right (in her opinion). During this time, Tatyana never broke.

Ustinova is not at all friendly with sports. He is absent from her life. But there is an active holiday spent with the family (for example, cycling or winter skiing).

That's all for me, but not for long. Be slim, healthy and happy! See you soon on my blog!

Tatyana Vitalievna, in the summer, when the actress Ksenia Lavrova-Glinka posted a photo of you with her on the social network, all the media began to vigorously discuss the topic - how incredibly thin you have become. Did you expect such a wave of interest?

Many thanks to Xenia, we had a wonderful conversation with her in the program “My Hero” on the TV Center, which I conduct. And the photo is good. I did not expect any special interest, because I am me, and I don’t notice the difference with myself yesterday or the day before yesterday. No, there is certainly a difference in weight. But I have been dealing with this issue - not my harmony in the manner of a gazelle, which I will never become, but the relative putting in order of the body - for a long time, for ten years or even more.

But you've really improved a lot. Can you tell me how much you weigh now? And the process of losing weight is still going on or everything is already smooth?

Look, once I weighed about 200 kilograms, to be exact - 189! Many years passed, and I began to weigh 100. Now my weight, apparently, is 90 kilograms. I don’t weigh myself every day, I’m not a prize pig from the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy. These ten kilograms must have become noticeable - here, for example, in that photograph - because the weight held on for a long time without changing. Of course, the process continues, but - let's be aware of this - I will never weigh the now fashionable 55 kilograms! Yes, and I don’t want to!

Stroynet competently - boring and dreary

An incredibly exciting question for everyone: how did you lose weight? And what was the turning point when they decided: that's it, stop living anyhow.

Oh, this is really an exciting question - who and how is losing weight! Frankly, I am terribly surprised and amused by precisely this desire of today's human community for thinness and youth! It would be nice, damn it, all as one wanted to learn how to write in Latin, learn string theory or grow apple trees on Mars! It wasn't there! Physics and Latin aside, the main thing is that everyone is thin! And young! Every single one! Here is a seventy-five-year-old grandmother, but she should not pickle cucumbers and plant potatoes, but should strive to look 38 and weigh the same 55! Well, it's funny!

I began to lose weight for medical reasons, exclusively for them, more than ten years ago. At that time I was dizzy all the time, my legs gave way, there were swelling, shortness of breath and all that stuff. Well, you see, 189 kg is a bit too much.

- What specialists were involved? Have any of the doctors become your friend over the years?

There are many doctors in my circle. Exactly friends! And so I clung to one of them, like a tick - this happens when many systems of life are upset, disrupted, from hormonal to nervous. And he is in fact the Great Russian Doctor - all words are capitalized, and there is no irony. I remember very well how my mother called me an ambulance - I was sure that I was about to die - the doctors, tortured by real patients, shrugged their shoulders, gave me valerian drops and left, and I began to call this friend of mine. He is a surgeon and does not understand women's fanaberies well. "I won't die, Igor Evgenievich?" I asked in a trembling voice. And he answered in a firm voice: “Now - no!” The next day it all happened again. And so many months in a row! Then he got tired of this case, and he strictly said: you need to be treated. I agreed and went to the doctors - an endocrinologist, a phlebologist, a cardiologist, a surgeon, and so on. It's boring and dreary - going to the doctors, taking tests, tests for all sorts of hormones and enzymes, this, that, the fifth or tenth. And then - the recommendations must be followed, the drugs taken, the instructions followed, and this is even more boring and dreary.

Trust good doctors

I wonder if you began to write about food in a different way? Did your heroes take on the feasts that you refused? Or did some characters lose weight? Or maybe you decided in a detective story to kill a nutritionist who has some resemblance to yours?

As much as I used to love it, I still love to write about food. And even more - read! Chekhov, for example. Oh, how beautifully he wrote about it! Gogol is great too. Pokhlebkin, Weil, Genis! But I don’t have any nutritionist - if I had, I would definitely have killed. I met a nutritionist once - three years after I started to lose weight, went, received recommendations and never saw him again.

You always want to p-time - and the problem is solved. Thinking about stomach reduction surgery and liposuction?

I don't believe in liposuction. It must be the rudiments of knowledge in physics. Pour sand into the bag. You can dilute it with water for clarity. Then scoop the sand out of the bag with a baby scoop. Take a look at the package. Of course, it decreased in volume - by the amount of sand that we scooped out. But the package itself has not changed at all. It is foolish to think that it will not be possible to pour the next batch of sand into it - how else can it be! And explain to me after that - what is the point of liposuction? Purely so, to occupy yourself? I think that the operation to reduce the stomach is more effective, but a professional opinion is definitely needed here, I am sure that it is not always indicated for everyone and not always. And it should be used in some extreme cases, but here I am definitely not an expert. Everything must be decided by the doctor!

Such was Tatyana, until she began to lose weight competently, under the supervision of doctors. Photo: From the personal archive of Tatyana Ustinova

- Can you tell what turned out to be the most effective, and what was useless?

I'll tell a story. Since adolescence, my stomach hurts, sometimes less, sometimes more, sometimes it doesn’t hurt at all! And I treat him, then I don’t treat him, then I still treat him! And so my friend the Great Russian Doctor prescribes some pills for me and tells me to take them - so that my stomach does not hurt. And I myself, on my own initiative, refuse for a while from everything except oatmeal and rice porridge. A week or two passes, they make me a control study, the result is excellent, nothing hurts. I, proud of myself, announce to my friend that the stomach has passed, since I ate right. He answered, without looking up from his papers: “Your stomach went away not because you ate right, but because I know how to prescribe drugs correctly!” The curtain. All correctly prescribed drugs were effective, and incorrectly prescribed drugs were useless.

From a large bowl to a modest bowl

Were there products that you thought about before losing weight: “what a disgusting thing this fish of yours is,” and then you endured and even fell in love?

All my life I could not stand fish, except for vobla. Any other fish and seafood caused me disgust and a panic attack. I learned to love fish for several years, mostly my sister Inna taught me how to love fish. Then for a few more years I learned how to cook it. Things went more fun with seafood - two or three years have passed, and now I can already eat mussels in Provence sauce! Now, after our trips to Lake Baikal, to Magadan, to Anadyr, I generally vaguely imagine how people who do not like fish live!

- Before the weight loss epic, did you eat at night?

I eat when I want to eat. At night, I don't want to eat. At night, I usually want to sleep. No, if the guests stayed up until four in the morning, then we all, like any decent people, eat until four in the morning, and on New Year and Easter, it happens, we eat until seven! If I feel hungry during work, I drink a cup of chicken broth. I don’t like to chew just like that, I like to eat delicious food at the table with my family.

- And do without disruptions to the "banned"?!

About "breaking", "failures", dreams about a hamburger and french fries, I have absolutely nothing to say. I didn’t starve and I don’t starve ... The volume of food eaten has decreased - very, very significantly! But they were shrinking very, very slowly. There was no such thing that I ate half a kilo of fried kebab yesterday, and from today I began to eat fifty grams of steam cod. My weight would not have gone anywhere if not for medical strategies. Volumes have been reduced. Today I am eating a bowl of soup. And tomorrow I eat a bowl of soup, but exactly one spoon less is poured into it. Really one, this is not a joke. And now I eat this plate for a month without one spoon. The next month, I continue to eat the same plate without another spoon. Etc. Nobody is in a hurry. This is not “losing weight for the beach season!” Now I get by with a bowl of soup - I'm used to it.

- Before developing this reasonable approach, were you on extreme diets?

But how! I remember rice - you need to eat rice for a week and count the rice grains, in descending order. At the beginning of the week, seven grains of rice were allowed, then six, five, and - top - one grain of rice! It's monstrous. There were also kefir diet, apple, watermelon - apparently, in August. There was also the Kremlin diet - it immediately seemed wild to me and my sister, but we still sat on it. No effect, of course, was achieved, only all the time I was terribly hungry.

Fitness is on the other side of me

You said that in your youth you had complexes because of your high growth, which came into fashion a few years later. Slouching to appear lower. And because of the weight did not worry, did not starve yourself?

I was worried about height, I was worried about weight, I was worried about glasses, I was also worried because there were no jeans. But she starved herself for a very short time. First, I'm hungry and angry. I quarrel with everyone, but I can't stand it! I especially hate to quarrel with my husband. One day, Inka and I and another friend decided to lose weight again. I spent the night just with this friend, we didn’t eat anything - and then I went home. When I opened the door, my young husband was doing some work, and from the threshold I attacked him with reproaches. I still remember his astonished face. He didn’t know that yesterday it was decided to lose weight and now everything is bad, because it’s unbearable to eat! Almost thirty years have passed since then, and I remember his amazement and my cries, and I am ashamed ... Secondly, food for us is one of the most important pleasures. We love to eat so much! And I also love to cook. I can't stand it when guests don't want to eat. The niece comes from the university well-fed - let me, but what about the feast, the pleasure of relaxing after the day? I never eat on the run - I save my appetite for lunch or dinner.

- In addition, did you do some kind of fitness, Nordic walking, which is now fashionable?

No-o-o-o!!! A healthy lifestyle is a mysterious and somewhat sad story for me. A person who is seriously busy counting calories and relating himself to the usefulness or non-usefulness of a particular product or physical activity, in my opinion, is either a rare blockhead or misunderstood something. It seems to me that it is necessary to live happily - if possible - to live. Go to your aunt in the village, catch some okushki in the river, go for mushrooms, heat a bathhouse, and there will be a holiday! And the ear, and the heat, and the steam room - and certainly to jump from the bridges! I sometimes like to ride a bike to the dacha, so that in my backpack there is a roach and cold beer. Go skiing in winter - so that it gets dark and it would be nice to have a cold wind. Cheeks stiffen, forehead aches, dogs run briskly - this is happiness. You will return at dusk, and it is warm at home and dinner is on the way! I'm bored walking with sticks, I feel like an idiot, I tried it once. Fitness is completely different from me.

- Having lost weight, began to dress differently?

How I dressed, and I dress, only now in a smaller size. And I don’t give the big shore to anyone - suddenly it will come in handy! I love jeans, jackets, weird skirts and trousers from trendy Dutch designers - there are two places in Moscow where you can buy them. I love scarves, long coats, wild fur vests. I love good shoes. Good quality, beautiful and comfortable to wear.

Family will always support

Did your husband and sons cheer you up when you started cutting back on the spoonful, or did they criticize you and tell you to go the other way? And in general, how is it with support in difficult issues and in difficult times?

When we have hard times, the whole family stands shoulder to shoulder. In my opinion, this is the main purpose of the family. When a person is hurt, bad, scared, in theory, he should first of all seek support in the family, and only then from psychotherapists! This is the current delusion that any woman and any man can perfectly live outside the family, it is unfashionable to enter into marriages. Maybe it is not fashionable, but all this rigmarole before the first problems. This is how they get kicked out of work for the first time, so it will immediately become clear what a husband is for, as well as kind and understanding mother and father, who will take the child at least for a while while you look for a new job.

We have exactly that. Any problems - a dog ran away and you need to look for it, the eldest son pierced the wheel, but there is no spare tire and a hundred kilometers to the house, a pipe flowed from the parents in the house - they are solved together and as quickly as possible. Everyone quits their job and goes to look for a dog, board a wheel, patch a pipe. At this time, no one whimpers, no one refers to fatigue. It must be so! And we rarely criticize each other. True, the husband recently said: “Now you criticize me all the time!” When he said that, I began to criticize him in response for not understanding anything, as usual, but stopped. It's true. I allow myself to criticize him and his sons. They are my men - never me.

And when Misha and Timofey introduce you to girls and you don’t like their choice, do you allow yourself to hint at this? There is a sign by which the sons will understand: Mom liked Olya, but not Zoya ...

In my case, the hints sound like this: “Son, why did you bring some kind of fool, the whole evening down the drain! Can't you see that she's not at home with us! Or like this: “Of course, invite her to visit, but when we are not at home!” I have never suffered from delicacy and English restraint.

I am absolutely convinced that parents and children should talk to each other. Always. And when the children are small and the parents are young, and when the children have grown up and the parents have grown old, and when the children are old and the parents are decrepit. We talk to older children. And they are talking to us! Tim comes running into our bedroom in the evenings to talk about bedtime. Sometimes I don't want to listen to him at all, sometimes he tires me with his bizarre views on life, which come from not enough books read, and in the work of, for example, Lovecraft, I do not understand anything at all! But I listen, I try to understand. How else?

Your oldest son is 27 years old. Is he going to marry and make you a grandmother? What do you think of this turn of events?

Misha is going to marry, but not in a hurry - we are all somehow sure that until thirty you can not rush anywhere. I definitely don't think about grandchildren. I am a very busy person, and besides, a writer living a hundred other people's lives. I'm tired of asking myself pointless questions.

You have been married to Eugene for 30 years. Your relationship began prosaically - he needed a Moscow residence permit for graduate school, and romance appeared about twenty years later, after you almost divorced. What period is now, does Eugene climb into the windows to his beloved woman? Did you romantically celebrate a silver wedding and now a pearl one?

We celebrated the silver wedding widely, as I remember now. Part of the family flew away to the sea - the husband and daughter of my sister Inka - and she herself remained with the dogs, which could not be taken with her to the sea. I remember how I pestered Zhenya, the anniversary, they say, we have, let's climb into my window or at least give me a beryl diadem! He didn’t give any of this, went to work, and completely forgot about the silver wedding. In the middle of the day, he called in horror: listen, he says, and today is our wedding anniversary, right?!! And I was on some boring business in a boring institution, and when I got out of there, I decided to take a walk. I bought delicacies in a terribly expensive store, which then undermined our budget for a long time. At the dacha, examining the delicacies that I laid out and laid out on the table, my sister remarked that "this is some kind of Rabelaisianism." Then children arrived on bicycles - Mishka, Timofey and their friend Diman. On the way, they fell into the mud and were washed under the street tap. Then a young, that is, almost old, husband rushed home from work, having forgotten about the wedding in the morning. And he brought a bouquet of peonies - it was so beautiful! And we sat in the gazebo until night, burned a fire, ate tasty food, remembered funny things, made toasts ...

This year we were overtaken by a pearl wedding - thirty years. I began to demand a tiara made of pearls and to climb out the window for romance, and again, from a place! Although we spend the summer at Inka's dacha, our room is on the ground floor and "climbing out the window to the woman you love" should go down rather than up! The sister and her husband presented a wonderful pearl bracelet, but the young, now almost old, husband did not give anything! But we went to Zavidovo, to the Volga for two days, and there we swam in the river, although it was cold. We rode a tandem bike through the forest. Have you ever ridden one like this? Try it, it's cool!

Your sister Inna is your assistant, you live in her dacha, you relax together. Have you not spilled water all your life, or did you not pass fights, complaints, intrigues in childhood?

We have been friends all our lives, we have only a year and a half difference, and we grew up like twin brothers. Surprisingly, I remember how she was born. In the evening, my mother brought home something wrapped in a satin blanket and said: “This is your sister, you love her very much.” I was terribly curious about what was inside. There was nothing interesting there, but the refrain “you love her very much” worked - I really fell in love with Inka very much. We were lucky with the gentlemen: we are different not only in character, but also in style - Inna is a miniature European-type girl, with brown eyes and dark skin, and I have always been very large, so there has never been one young man who would have liked both of us , and he chose who to hit on.

I lived with my parents until the age of forty, so my mother had the opportunity to give the same instructions to my sons. When Mishka was six years old, Inna gave birth to a daughter, Sanya. Once I found a picture in the kitchen. Mom said to Misha: “Today Sasha will come to visit us. You love her so much, you are waiting for her so much !!! And Mishka began to jump and rejoice. If children are told that they are happy, beautifully dressed, smart, they will think that they are - and the same story with love for brothers and sisters.

- Is Inna married to your husband's brother?

Yes, he and Max met at our wedding with Zhenya. His brother fell in love with my sister at first sight, they had a stormy romance: when she was 18 and he was 28, they fled. And twenty years later they got married! Our mother-in-law Alexandra Grigoryevna raised her sons wonderfully, they prop each other up all their lives - like my sister and I. Only we played with dolls, and they made models of an ultrasonic gun from a pipe that dad brought them from work. Max is a little patronizing of his younger brother, my husband, but both are perfectly fine with that. This is a grandiose story, but I cannot use it in the book - they will reproach it for implausibility ...

Tatyana Ustinova

Family: husband - Eugene (engineer-physicist); sons - Mikhail (27 years old), works at the Flight Research Institute. Gromova, Timofey (17 years old)

Education: graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology

Career: From 1993 to 1996, she worked in the press service of Boris Yeltsin, translated from English the TV programs Rescue Service 911, Posner and Donahue, and was the editor of the programs Man and Law and Health. In 1999 she wrote her first novel, Thunderstorm over the Sea. Since then, she has released about 50 detective stories, many of which have been filmed. Since 2015, he has been hosting the My Hero program on the TV Center channel.

Reading detective stories is an extremely exciting activity. Watching the intricacies of a complex plot is very curious. No less interest among readers is the personal life of the authors of their favorite works. Recently, Tatyana Ustinova told how she lost weight. Hundreds of overweight women have become interested in the way to achieve the desired shape.

The writer revealed her secret

Many noticed the amazing transformation of the star: she changed her hair color, wardrobe and looks fresher. In addition, it has become lighter by as much as 100 kilograms. It is hard to believe that eight years ago, with a height of 180 centimeters, her weight was almost 200 kilograms. Tatyana decided to take a responsible step not because of fashionable prejudices.

The woman was worried about serious health problems:

• severe swelling;
• constant dizziness;
• dyspnea.

The writer has undergone numerous examinations: treatment by an endocrinologist, consultations with a cardiologist and a phlebologist, individual recommendations from a nutritionist. Finally, the woman managed to solve the exciting issue in a comprehensive manner.

A certain nutrition schedule was introduced, which helped to get off the ground. For several years, the author of detectives parted with 90 kilograms and continues to lose weight to this day.

Diet Tatyana Ustinova

The algorithm of eating behavior is not distinguished by wisdom. Simple rules allow you to achieve an incredible effect. Doctors advised to adhere to simple principles:

1. Reducing portion sizes. Fractional nutrition is the key to competent weight loss. The woman divided the daily ration into 5 times. Eating food every two hours made it possible to reduce the volume of the stomach and practically not feel hunger.
2. Reduction in calories. Fried meat was replaced by stew, sour cream - by yogurt. Useful analogues played an important role. It was extremely difficult for Ustinova to forget about mayonnaise in salads, but light processed cheese came to the rescue.
3. Refusal of salty, sweet and spicy. Desserts with cream and savory spices are pushed aside, leaving room for natural flavors of products.
4. Cooking simple meals. The absence of long heat treatment, the use of a minimum amount of oil makes food easily digestible.
5. Slow chewing. Mindfulness when eating a meal should become the norm. The writer used to count to 25 while savoring each bite. Eating on the run leads to difficult digestion and a lack of understanding of the amount eaten.
6. The use of a large amount of liquid. An attack of hunger is blocked by a glass of drunk water. It helps to expel toxins from the body and relieves swelling.

Tatyana's diet included a lot of vegetables and fish. Dishes from such products promote metabolism and allow you to saturate the body with vitamins and trace elements.

Further actions of the famous author

Now Ustinova sticks to her plan and does not torment itself with unnecessary restrictions. Dreams about sports remained unfulfilled.

The writer treats a healthy lifestyle with respect, but she still cannot force herself to go for a run.

Tatiana does not even think about worrying about this, she is convinced that life should bring only positive emotions.

To this day, Tatyana fulfills the recommendations of specialists. In her plans there is no acquisition of 40 clothing sizes, she does not need it. Comfortable condition without diseases- the goal towards which the star of detectives is systematically moving. Initially, she was worried that the changes would negatively affect her appearance, however, the situation shows the opposite. Popular writer catches admiring glances and feels 10 years younger.

Good day, dear friends! Today we will talk about the famous writer - Tatyana Ustinova. But let's discuss not her author's talent, but another achievement. We will share with you photos of Tatyana Ustinova before and after losing weight. We will tell you 15 diet rules that helped the star lose 100 kg without exercising. And we will present you a couple of real reviews of women who have lost weight using this technique. You can also read articles about weight loss of other stars:

The famous and talented writer Tatyana Ustinova is known for her unsurpassed works. Tatyana has earned great love from readers and viewers, thanks to the film adaptations of many books.

She is already so popular, so she never tried to stand out with her appearance and had magnificent forms. On the contrary, she was satisfied with her figure and felt quite comfortable with such parameters.

But, we all understand that the work of a writer is, first of all, a sedentary job that entails a lot of bad consequences. Of these: extra pounds, and behind them, respectively, there are health problems. So it happened with our heroine. She began to have severe edema, weight was reflected in the heart. Even walking was impossible!

Doctors strongly recommended to go on a diet and get rid of dozens of extra pounds. And the famous writer had no choice. It only remained to listen and make great efforts to get a decent result. And the result, frankly, is very worthy!

Celebrities managed to lose about a hundred kilograms! Just imagine what this number is! And Tatyana just needed to switch to a healthy diet and reduce the amount of food consumed.

Before Ustinova took up herself, the figure on the scales reached 200 kg. It’s hard to believe that the writer in her current image once had such exorbitant weight.

Today, her weight is 100 kg with a height of meter eighty. Now the star inspires and pleases not only with literary works, but also with its irresistible refreshed look. She helps women understand that even in adulthood it is possible to lose even a hundred kilograms!

Diet rules and Ustinova's menu

Friends, you still don’t know with what diet and how Tatyana Ustinova lost one hundred kilograms? Now I will tell you everything.

The writer, in order to reach the required number on the scales, did not follow strict diets that exclude many foods, including healthy ones. Indeed, in adulthood, sources of vitamins are very important in the daily diet. All that was needed was to properly adjust your menu and stick to it.

Rules to follow

1. Small portions. The writer needed to reduce the amount of food consumed and reduce her portions by almost half. I needed to eat less, but more often.
2. Eating every three hours. It was necessary to eat according to a strict schedule, without violating it. The break between each meal should be the same.
3. Do not eat at night. The last meal should be three hours before going to bed. In case of hunger after this time, a glass of kefir helps out perfectly.
4. Fried food is prohibited. The best choice is boiled and baked food.
5. Sweets and pastries are excluded from the diet.
6. Instead of starchy potatoes and rice, buckwheat and oatmeal should be on the table.
7. Meat and fish need to choose only low-fat varieties. Meat is great: turkey, rabbit, chicken.
8. Vegetables in the diet should contain as little starch as possible.
9. It was necessary to exclude various sauces from the diet, because they provoke appetite.
10. Limit salt and sugar intake. If possible, it is better to eliminate salt and sugar altogether, but if this is too difficult, then you should at least minimize their consumption.
11. At one meal, it was allowed to eat only one dish and no variety on the table.
12. Do not switch abruptly to proper nutrition. It is very important not to break loose during the diet and enjoy it, so that everything is so, you need to gradually adjust yourself to a healthy diet. You should not immediately give up your favorite foods, you need to reduce their volumes, and then, over time, the need for useless food itself will disappear.
13. Food should be chewed thoroughly and not in a hurry, not to be distracted by anything.
14. You need to find a substitute for junk food. Dried fruits and nuts are great for snacking.
15. More liquid. Without it, nowhere. The body needs 2-3 liters of water per day, this speeds up metabolic processes.

It was not easy for the writer to follow these rules at the beginning of her journey, but over time, it became a habit, especially considering the variety of dietary and delicious recipes.

diet without exercise

Weight loss went to the face of Tatyana Ustinova. She increasingly riveted the views of others and the attention of curious journalists.

In one of the interviews, the writer was asked the question: “In addition to dietary restrictions, were there any other ways to lose weight? For example, sports? To which Tatyana's answer was negative. That is why the weight went away so slowly and it took about three years. If you decide to lose weight according to the star method, but want to lose weight as soon as possible, you need to include sports.

Tatyana admits that sport is not hers. And throughout my life I have never been drawn to them. Certainly this is not good. Ustinova only occasionally engaged in cycling, skiing or swimming in the pool, but this was not training. Moreover, the celebrity did not attend a sports club. Because she didn’t see the point in it, she never chased after a sports figure, and gradual weight loss with proper nutrition more than suited her.

The image of the writer has changed dramatically, in addition to changes in weight, another change in image followed. Tatyana has become a stylish brunette, with her current figure she can afford modern, even youthful things. The woman began to look more young and attractive.

Just look at the photo before and after Tatyana Ustinova's weight loss by 100 kg.
