Later she received publicity and immediately gained an army of followers. The Kremlin diet is called due to the fact that representatives of the Moscow city administration tried it on themselves and confirmed its effectiveness. One of the famous officials who experienced the miraculous effect of the diet - Yuri Luzhkov.
Principles of the Kremlin diet
Many of our compatriots liked the diet, first of all, because those who are losing weight do not have to deny themselves everything, and can eat permitted foods until you feel full. During the diet you will be able to continue eat sausages, fish, meat, and even drink alcoholic beverages, which is prohibited by the vast majority of well-known diets (see rating of diets by effectiveness 2017).
The Kremlin diet begins to work when the diet of a person losing weight dramatically the number is decreasing coming from food carbohydrates. Since the usual rate of carbohydrates decreases, the body begins to produce energy from the fat reserves that are in the body.
1In order for your body to start losing weight, in the first two weeks you will need eat no more than 20 g of carbohydrates per day. You can calculate them using a special complete table of the Kremlin diet, which we will present for your convenience below. After 2 weeks you can expand your diet to consumption 40 g carbohydrates per day. And after leaving the diet to maintain weight, use no more than 60 g carbohydrates per day.
The editors of the portal emphasize: the effectiveness of this diet has been confirmed only with increased physical activity. We have prepared for you a set of video lessons for losing weight in problem areas. They are available for free on our server. Click the button below (opens in a new window).
2You can eat as much as you like. This point will certainly please the majority of those losing weight. However, in this matter you need to know when to stop. If you eat several kilograms of permitted foods a day, weight loss is unlikely to be effective. Try not to overeat. Eat a small portion of permitted foods and wait a while. If you are still hungry, eat a little more. Do not overstretch or overstretch the stomach wall. Also try to eat no later than 3-4 hours before bedtime.
3You will need to eliminate certain types of foods from your diet, including potatoes, flour dishes, bread, rice, sugar, sweets. Try not to sweeten anything, learn to drink tea without sugar and sweets. As a last resort, use sweeteners (see how to choose a sweetener).
4Allowed to eat fish, cheese, eggs, meat, vegetables and other low cost products. In the table you can find products that cost the least amount of points.
5Sausages, frankfurters, wieners you will have to look for high quality. Cheap sausages contain a lot of soy and chemicals, so you need to eat such products with caution.
6If you want to gain weight, then use more than 60 units per day.

Results of the Kremlin diet. Reviews from those who have lost weight
If you follow the diet correctly, the weight loss process will begin immediately. The greater the initial body weight of a person, the easier it is for him to part with it. In the first 8-10 days of the diet you can lose an average of 5 kg. And in a month and a half you can get rid of 10-15 kg. The results of your weight loss will depend on your willpower and your desire to get a slim figure.
Rita, 29 years old:
Thanks to the Kremlin, I managed to lose a lot of weight. I sat on it strictly for about 2 months. The first week I ate in such a way that I gained 18-19 points per day. These were mainly meat and eggs, cottage cheese and some other dairy products. Then I began to expand the menu, and tried to keep it to 30-35 points a day. The kilograms went off quickly at first, then a little slower, as I began to allow myself a little more varied food. I think the advantage of the diet is that you hardly feel hungry on it. Yes, sometimes I wanted sweets, but I was able to tolerate the lack of baked goods in my diet. Moreover, after 2 months I was already accustomed to eating this way, counting the points. In 2 months I got rid of 15.5 kilograms and I think the result is amazing.
Inga, 35 years old:
I sat on the Kremlin diet with my friend for exactly a month. Both are pleased with the results. I lost 8 kilograms, she lost 6.5 kg. But initially my weight was higher than hers. The nice thing about the diet was that I didn’t have to give up alcohol completely. It was the Easter period and we could afford some wine. They could also eat eggs almost without restrictions. We recommend.
Olga, 51 years old:
Wonderful diet. I found out about it from the newspaper, immediately cut out a table of foods with glasses for myself, and began to lose weight. The first days it was difficult to create a menu and count everything. But after a week I remembered all the symbols and could easily create a menu for myself. If I wanted to treat myself to fruit for lunch, then for breakfast and dinner I tried to eat foods with 0 points. It’s a pity, of course, that I had to completely give up cereals and sweets. But I lost 14 kg in 2.5 months. A year has passed since then, and my weight has not returned. Although even now I sometimes try to count points and, out of habit, eat as if I were on a diet.
The Kremlin diet and the essence of diets:
Book: Kremlin diet. Meat and fish dishes
Pages: 28
The Kremlin diet, the main advantage of which is a minimum of restrictions and maximum effect, is by far the most popular and most effective weight loss program.
In this book you will find the best recipes for low-carb dishes from the Kremlin diet, prepared from meat, poultry and fish. Among them are those that you can easily prepare when you come home from work in the evening, and those that will decorate your holiday table. Each recipe is accompanied by detailed cooking technology and information on the quantity. e. in this dish. Eat healthy and lose weight, and the book “The Kremlin Diet” will help you with this.
Bonus: a book from the “Kremlin Cooking” series - “50 of the best recipes” in the archive!
Correct adherence to the Kremlin diet is not possible without counting points / conventional units - cu/. For these purposes, a table has been developed with which you can easily calculate the exact amount of c.u. in consumed products. If you need to find out the number of points in finished products, use the Kremlin diet table for ready-made products.
Don't forget that your weight loss directly depends on how many conventional units your daily menu will contain. The less, the faster you will lose weight. However, try to choose foods not only by glycemic index, but also by dietary properties. Instead of sausage, which contains only 0 c.u., it is better to eat poultry or lean beef, the index of which is also 0.
Be sure to include vegetables in your diet. They are the ones who will save you from constipation, especially during the period of greatest weight loss. During the stabilization phase, diversify your menu with dairy products, fruits and vegetables. With this approach, you can use the Kremlin diet without any harm to your health.

In the 90s, there were rumors about this nutrition system that with its help, many deputies and high-ranking officials were able to noticeably lose weight, among whom were Yuri Luzhkov (the mayor of Moscow) and Sergei Tsoi (his press secretary). Soon the secrets were revealed - this is how the Kremlin diet appeared, the popularity of which has not fallen for 2 decades.
The essence
It is based on a scientific treatise called “Conditions for effective nutrition that are used in the development of menus for astronauts and the US military” (therefore it is sometimes called the method of American astronauts).
The fundamental principle is the minimum consumption of carbohydrates, at which the body begins to actively consume the energy reserves of fat deposits. The main concern is not how much food you ate, but how many carbohydrates you absorbed along with it.
All products are measured in points, or conventional units (cu): 1 point = 1 c.u. e. = 1 g of carbohydrates. At each individual stage you need to consume no more than a certain amount of these y. e. Therefore, you should always have before your eyes a specially designed table of products and dishes indicating them.
So the essence of the Kremlin diet is its low-carb content. The Atkins and Kwasniewski weight loss systems are very similar to it.
From the life of the stars. According to some sources, the Kremlin diet helped Larisa Dolina, Nikolai Rastorguev, Elena Kukarskaya, Alexey Panayotov and many other celebrities lose weight.
How does it work?
Low-carbohydrate nutrition systems always produce the best results (8-15 kg per month), so it is quite possible to lose noticeable weight on the Kremlin diet. Changes in diet cause many body systems to work in a completely different direction, which ultimately leads to weight loss:
- a minimum amount of carbohydrates, which are the main source of energy, leads to ketosis - the breakdown of accumulated fat;
- accordingly, deposits on problem parts of the body gradually disappear;
- together with them, the orange peel becomes less pronounced, and with the simultaneous use of anti-cellulite ointments and gels, you can get rid of it altogether;
- the state of ketosis is characterized by the normalization of metabolism, within which lipolysis occurs - as a result, new fat reserves are not deposited;
- The level of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood decreases, due to which unexpected inulin releases do not occur - merciless attacks of hunger are not felt.
As a result, weight decreases - for some quickly (up to 10 kg in the first 2 weeks), for others more slowly (minus 8 kg per month).
If, after going through all the steps, you do not feel any results, you should seek help from nutritionists (perhaps you did something wrong) or doctors (the problem is often related to health).
Description of stages
The Kremlin diet is a fairly strict nutritional system. Some argue that you cannot simply call it a program, since it represents an entire philosophy of life. To lose weight with its help, you need to go through stages, the sequence and essence of which cannot be changed.
Stage 1. Induction phase
Duration - 2 weeks. The result is minus 10 kg.
The amount of carbohydrates is only 20 grams (=20 points) per day. There is no need to change your previous diet, let it be familiar: 3 times a day + snacks at any time.
Look for recipes for dishes with points - they will reduce the time spent on calculations. Portions are regular in size, you can eat until you feel full, but don’t overeat. You need to drink 2-3 liters of water and take multivitamins.
Constipation is possible - treat it with vegetable fiber (eat more cabbage, lettuce, etc.).
- meat, meat products;
- fish, seafood;
- bird;
- cheeses;
- eggs;
- nuts (sometimes allowed only from stage 2 of the diet);
- vegetable oils, a small amount of mayonnaise and sour cream, fish oil;
- drinks: water, tea, coffee;
- sweeteners: cyclomate, saccharin, except aspartame;
- green vegetables (about 500 grams per day): lettuce, sorrel, radish, radish, olives, dill, garlic, rosemary, parsley;
- other vegetables (300 grams per day): asparagus, rhubarb, daikon, eggplant, celery root, zucchini, squash, pumpkin, spinach, onions, peas, beans, turnips, all types of cabbage.
- sweets, honey, sugar, sweeteners (fructose, maltose, etc.), aspartame;
- starchy vegetables: carrots, potatoes, beets (if only in small quantities);
- fruits and juices from them;
- cooking fats;
- alcohol;
- caffeinated drinks.
As you can see from this table, breakfast is far from the main meal of the Kremlin diet. Focus on lunch.
Stage 2. Active weight loss phase
Her task is to determine your individual daily portion of carbohydrates to get rid of unnecessary kilograms. If you have already lost as much as needed in the first stage, the number of points to maintain stability is determined. For this purpose, the norm is increased by 5 USD. per week.
This requires constant monitoring of body weight. If you exceed the number of points, break down or begin to gain weight again, you need to return to the first phase. Training at stage 2 will help speed up weight loss. It is advisable to take a blood test to monitor your health status.
As a result, weight loss should stop at one indicator - this will be the end point of the second stage, so its duration is very individual. Count on about a month.
The list of products is supplemented by the following:
- vegetables: red sweet pepper, tomatoes, avocado;
- dairy products: heavy cream, processed cheese, fibrous cheese, homemade cheese, fetaki;
- more nuts: almonds, sunflower seeds, roasted peanuts, cashews, walnuts, pecans;
- fruits and berries: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, melon;
- juices without salt and sugar : lemon, tomato;
- alcohol (some experts strongly recommend abstaining from drinking it).
Stage 3. Transition phase
The amount of carbohydrates in the diet continues to increase by 10 grams per week. The goal is to make the body lose weight further. Physical activity will help. If the indicators have not budged within a week, you will have to reduce the number of points of food consumed by 5 units. e.
Duration - until you achieve the desired result. This usually takes a couple of weeks.
What can be added to the menu:
- starchy vegetables: potatoes, split peas, spinach, parsnips;
- nuts: shelled peanuts, pine nuts, pistachios, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds;
- legumes: beans, lentils;
- berries and fruits: cherries, grapes, apples, strawberries, peaches, kiwi, watermelon, grapefruit, bananas, plums, mangoes;
- fruit cocktails diluted with water (1:1);
- cereals: rice, barley, sesame, bread.
Stage 4. Maintenance (consolidation) phase
Low-carb eating continues - from now on it should become a permanent way of life. You had to find out how much carbohydrates per day you can eat without fear, what foods provoke weight gain.
Weight control continues. As soon as an extra 3-4 kg is gained, the amount of daily carbohydrate intake is immediately reduced. You still need to drink a lot of water and exercise.
Pros and cons
The Kremlin diet has its advantages, which attract so many people to it, and disadvantages, which can negate the desire to use it.
Advantages
- Efficiency: the lost kilograms and melting centimeters show that the system is working.
- No sudden hunger pangs.
- Diet variety.
- Possibility of eating meat and alcohol.
- Getting rid of bad eating habits (sweet cravings, for example).
- Lasting results: if you go through all the stages consistently, the lost kilograms will not return.
- The presence of vegetables and fruits will prevent vitamin depletion.
- Increasing the level of “good cholesterol”.
Flaws
- During the breakdown of fats, ketone bodies are formed - highly toxic elements that can damage cells. They cause intoxication, which affects the kidneys, liver, and brain, but it occurs hidden, and the side effects do not immediately come back to haunt you.
- To create a menu, you should always have scales and a points table at hand - there is too much hassle.
- A large load on the kidneys due to the abundance of proteins, which can lead to the formation of stones and the development of gout.
- Animal fats damage blood vessels and can provoke atherosclerosis.
- Diet serves as a catalyst for male diseases that may manifest themselves later.
- Deficiency of nutrients, vitamins and calcium.
- Limiting fiber in the diet leads to disturbances in the intestinal microflora, intoxication with harmful foods and constipation.
- “Zombification”: instead of products, a person sees only the “sum of points” and, as a result, becomes a hostage to this type of nutrition that is far from ideal.
The disadvantages of the Kremlin diet are serious enough to ignore. Given its restrictive nature, such weight loss requires taking medications to replenish nutrient deficiencies. Before trying the technique on yourself, you need to consult a doctor.
What does science say? Not long ago, the English print edition of the New England Journal of Medicine published sensational results of research conducted by British experts. They found that the Kremlin diet system increases the level of “good cholesterol” and reduces levels of fatty acid, which provokes stroke.
Contraindications
To avoid side effects after losing weight, you need to strictly follow the contraindications:
- diseases of the heart and blood vessels: atherosclerosis, ischemia, hypertension;
- metabolic syndrome;
- diabetes mellitus;
- kidney pathologies;
- gout and uric acid diathesis;
- stone formation;
- disturbances in the functioning of the liver;
- frequent constipation;
- dysbacteriosis;
- menopause, pregnancy, lactation;
- children and old age.
Experts strongly recommend consulting with a therapist before going on a diet. Side effects may appear only after several months and require a separate course of medication for recovery for an exhausted and malfunctioning body.
Required tables
Now we turn on the printer and print all the table options that are necessary to calculate points as part of losing weight on the Kremlin diet. There are a lot of them, but you need to sit with them once, figure them out and then actively use them when creating a menu, taking into account the characteristics of the stage you are at.

You will also need complete tables of prepared dishes. Regardless of meticulously calculating points at the stove, which will take a lot of time, just look for the appropriate recipe - and enjoy the variety of your diet.
Such a table of carbohydrates should hang in the kitchen of everyone who is losing weight, so that the dishes do not exceed the daily allowance. e. (standard units).
Menu

Svetlana Markova
Beauty is like a precious stone: the simpler it is, the more precious it is!
Content
It is very difficult to win in the fight against excess weight, but it is possible if you find the right diet. The main thing is that she is not “hungry” and is approved by doctors. This can be said about the Kremlin diet. Meat-eaters will love it.
The essence of the Kremlin diet
Discussions revolve around the diet for weight loss, invented by Dr. Atkins. A controversial option because some say that the diet is harmful to health, while others enthusiastically share their results. However, the positive reviews outweigh the positive reviews, and this system has gained thousands of fans. Celebrities and representatives of the Kremlin elite effectively lost weight on it, hence the name: the Kremlin diet, although it is also known as a protein diet for American astronauts, named after its inventor.
The essence of this nutritional system is that the consumption of carbohydrates is sharply limited and the body begins to take energy from what is easier to process - from fat. The basis of the diet is protein products of any fat content: meat of all types, fish, cottage cheese. The body will take the required carbohydrates from vegetables. Flour products, cereals, and sweets are prohibited. They can be consumed in limited quantities during the weight stabilization stage.
The main condition in this diet is to drink a lot of water, two liters a day, and eat bran. Water will help remove protein breakdown products without damaging the kidneys, and bran will cleanse the intestines. The Kremlin diet is simply a godsend for food lovers, because it even allows for fried and fatty foods, canned meat and fish, cheeses and other delicacies with a limited carbohydrate content. For meat-eaters, this is paradise, but those with a sweet tooth will have to come to terms with the loss of sweets in order to gain a beautiful body.
Only the strong in spirit can endure this, or any other, diet. The inconvenience is that the usual sweets will no longer be on the menu, but you won’t have to go hungry. Kremlevka is not the usual restriction of portions during diets; you can and should eat in normal portions, but without overeating. Eating 5-6 times a day, according to all nutritionists without exception, starts the metabolism, and you should not skip meals.
This is a long-term nutrition system, almost a way of life, so you need to make a firm decision before starting a weight loss marathon. A few words about sports - some physical activity is desirable, but without fanaticism. The body should not experience stress; involve it in the process smoothly - walking, feasible exercises, dancing to lift your spirits.
Kremlin diet points table
All products are assigned Kremlin diet points (conventional units) or points, as you call it. Although the need to count and weigh something is tiring, here, unlike counting the calorie content of foods and dishes, the situation is simpler. One point is one gram of carbohydrates per 100 grams of product (unless otherwise noted). This information is contained on all product packaging. At the first stage of losing weight, your diet should contain no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates, which means you should choose products that will give a total of 20 points.

Product table
The basis of the diet for active weight loss in the first and second stages is the products indicated in the table. Meat products and dishes made from them can be eaten in any quantity and as often as your appetite dictates, vegetables from time to time. However, there is no need to go beyond what is reasonable; there is no need to burden the body with extra calories. Ideally, the portion should be approximately the size of your palm and the same thickness. At subsequent stages, it is allowed to gradually introduce foods from the table of prohibited foods into the diet in small quantities.

If you think that this is a boring diet when you have to chew boiled unleavened meat and crunch on cabbage leaves, then you are mistaken. There is a lot of freedom for imagination when creating a menu - the dishes for the Kremlin diet are varied, satisfying and tasty. Any recipe can be adapted, calculated in advance and enjoy comfortable weight loss. To make life easier for those losing weight, the “cost” of some standard traditional dishes has already been calculated. When calculating, honestly take into account all the ingredients in the recipe, taking into account that the main weight of the dish is added by potatoes, cereals, and flour.

Kremlin diet menuWhen eating according to certain rules, you need to write out and calculate the nutrition plan for the next day in the evening. The menu of the Kremlin diet with points will not allow those losing weight to feel hungry, this is a classic of rational nutrition, and some combinations of dishes are similar to those served in restaurants, for example, steak with salad, cheese with wine, and never potatoes with cutlets. Serve your dish beautifully and enjoy the food on your plate. Menu until 20As already mentioned, at the first stage you need to stay within 20 points. Then smoothly move to 40 conventional units. An approximate menu of the Kremlin diet for 20 points is as follows:
|
The Kremlin diet: a table full of foods low in carbohydrates, has changed the view of diets in the minds of women in the post-Soviet space. In fact, this diet can be classified as a low-carbohydrate diet that provides weight loss of 10-15 kg per month.
What is the Kremlin diet?
The Kremlin diet table consists of food data: the amount of carbohydrates, not calories. This diet is designed not only to lose weight, but also to speed up your metabolism. Its advantages include creating your own menu based on the number of carbohydrate points allowed per day.
Also, in the process of losing weight on the Kremlin, there is no feeling of hunger; the main thing is counting points for each dish. Tables of dishes and products are given below.
Important! The Kremlin diet is close to the Atkins diet, the principle of which is to reduce the consumption of any carbohydrates. Result: processing of fat reserves due to the exclusion of high-calorie foods.
Kremlin diet - complete ready meals table
Table of carbohydrate content in foods for the Kremlin diet
Like the Atkins diet, the Kremlin consists of 4 stages aimed at a shock reduction in the amount of carbohydrates, with its gradual increase. The general rules of the diet are as follows:
- Four meals a day without snacks.
- The daily carbohydrate intake after finishing the diet does not exceed 60-70 points, depending on the intensity of weight loss and initial weight.
- You need to drink 2 liters of clean water per day.
- The increase in carbohydrates in points occurs in stages, starting with 20, ending with 40-60 points.
- The menu does not contain the concept of light and heavy carbohydrates. Porridges, sweets, fruits, and a group of vegetables are practically excluded from the diet. The menu is dominated by protein foods and a small amount of fat.
Advice! During pregnancy, breastfeeding, with peptic ulcers and gastritis, it is better to avoid the diet. It is recommended to consult a doctor before starting weight loss.
Stage one: 2 weeks of active weight loss
The first stage of the Kremlin diet of the point table is very strict: 20 carbohydrates per day, and no more. This is a difficult stage for the body, which is adjusting to a carbohydrate-free mode. At this time, flour products, sugar and sweets are completely excluded, and the diet is enriched with protein.
Advice! Many sources on this diet indicate that high protein foods can be consumed without restrictions, but this is not true. It is worth eating about 40 g of vegetable and the same amount of animal protein per day in order to avoid kidney disease.
In 2 weeks of the first stage, you can actually lose up to 10 kg of weight, strictly adhering to the recommendations. This stage can be extended for another 5 days if the weight comes off slowly.
Sample menu for the first stage
The meal consists of 4 meals, in total you need to eat 20 points of carbohydrates:
- Boiled eggs and coffee.
- Meat hodgepodge without potatoes, green salad with vegetable oil, mineral water.
- Roasted peanuts 50 g.
- Steamed chicken fillet, vegetable salad, tea.
The total according to the detailed table of the Kremlin diet is 19.5 points.
Stage two: one and a half months of weight loss
The second stage of weight loss lasts 1.5 months, and during it you need to add another 5 points to the main menu. In the first week you can eat 25 points of carbohydrates, in the second - 30 points, etc. This brings the amount of carbohydrates to 40.
.
Advice! If in the first stage weight is lost actively, and in the second more slowly, then it is worth reviewing the list of foods consumed. Perhaps certain foods contribute to weight gain in your body.
During this stage, up to 5-7 kg of weight is lost.
Sample menu for the second stage of the Kremlin
- Black tea, 300 g of low-fat cottage cheese.
- Soup with mushrooms and cheese, herbal tea.
- 40 g walnuts.
- Baked fish with boiled cauliflower.
In total, according to the full table of the Kremlin diet, 25 points are obtained.
Stage three: consolidation of the result at the desired weight
During this stage, the results obtained are consolidated by preparing the body to receive standard food. Every week the amount of carbohydrates increases by 10 points. For example, in the first week of stage 3, 45 points are consumed, in the second week it is already 50, and it’s worth stopping here.
Advice! If in the third stage the weight does not go away, but is gained again, then you should return to the second stage to a daily carbohydrate intake of 30 points.
Sample menu for stage 3
- 2 sausages with cheese, apple, tea.
- Chicken broth, mushrooms stewed in sour cream, tea.
- A glass of milk and a boiled egg.
- 300 g low-fat cottage cheese.
In total, according to the full table of the Kremlin diet, 50 carbohydrates are obtained.
Stage four: maintaining the gained weight
During stage 4, weight is maintained; let’s say weight gain is within 3-4 kg. At this stage, a person automatically controls the amount of carbohydrates consumed, reducing them during severe weight gain.
Important! The duration of the diet is 3-4 months, during which about 20-25 kg are lost. Considering that a person consumes mainly protein foods, it is worth combining weight loss with sports. Sports and the Kremlin diet are a guarantee that the remaining fat will be converted into muscle mass.
Sample menu for stage 4
- Liver stewed in sour cream, vegetable salad, coffee.
- Squash caviar, boiled fish, tea.
- A glass of kefir.
- Canned beans, boiled skinless chicken, curd mass.
In total, according to the full table of the Kremlin diet menu for the week, 60 points are obtained.
Photo results and reviews of the Kremlin diet
A diet that does not bring results cannot become popular, and all weight loss systems focused on eliminating carbohydrates bring good results. So, during the Kremlin you can actually lose up to 30 kg of excess weight, spending approximately 3-4 months. But the diet also has disadvantages, which are often written about in reviews:
- Insufficient carbohydrate intake leads to weakness and slower brain activity.
- Excessive protein intake causes liver problems.
- When switching to a normal diet, a sharp increase in weight is observed, which can be reduced by reducing the amount of carbohydrates by about 20-30 points.
Advice! The results of the Kremlin diet can be maintained when carbohydrate intake is controlled daily after weight loss is completed.
Among the advantages of the diet, those who have lost weight note the following:
- Consistent food quality. There is no feeling of hunger for the reason that your appetite can be interrupted at any time with a piece of meat, fish, or a glass of milk.
- The weight comes off quickly.
- A varied diet and the ability to tailor it to your preferences is the main advantage that those who have lost weight note in reviews. Therefore, the full version of the printable table of the Kremlin diet, which indicates the amount of carbohydrates and their content in ready-made dishes, should be hung in a prominent place in order to delight yourself with a tasty and varied menu every day.
- The diet contains protein, so in the process of losing weight the skin does not sag and the muscle corset is not destroyed.
To summarize, it is worth saying that the Kremlin diet is not weight loss, but a complete revision of the entire nutrition system. You need to prepare for the fact that after finishing the diet you will have to continue to give up carbohydrates, both light and heavy. But the result will not be long in coming; after losing 25-30 kg, your figure will acquire an ideal silhouette.
