Hello there ☀️
I'll never forget the day I hit rock bottom - literally, 73 kg on the scales. I was desperate to become a mom for the second time, but things didn't go as planned. For two years, I went on, convinced that today was the day I'd finally be pregnant. I ate for two, and my mind was preoccupied with thoughts like 'What if I'm already expecting? Is the baby getting enough to eat?'

I live in Anapa, Krasnodar Krai. There are two options: pick-up at the airport or delivery to my doorstep.
The prices differ accordingly, delivery costs around 4,000 rubles, pick-up costs around 3,000 rubles. The cost also depends on the packaging choice. You can order the diet in one box for a month or split the delivery into two boxes for 14 days, with the courier bringing the next box. This option would be convenient for those with limited freezer space.

I've noticed they've added trial packs on the website now, which last for two weeks. The cheapest pack is the 'Slim' one without pork, and it costs 15,900 rubles. I went for the 'Start' pack, which is 16,700 rubles, and I liked the menu options. After registering on the site (you don't have to order anything), you'll get promotional codes in your email from time to time, like the current 1,500 ruble discount - it's a nice little touch.
I wanted to show you what the thermobox packaging looks like.
Elena Malysheva's diet for weight loss, 'Start' menu The box itself is made of thick, smooth, tightly compressed foam. Inside, there are four containers with ice. Elena Malysheva's diet for weight loss, 'Start' menu I'm highlighting this because I don't throw them away - I use them as a makeshift cooler for fishing trips instead. They're super convenient and of great quality. My friends have already unpacked the other boxes.?So, let's take a look inside the box. The frozen meals are all there, with the dry breakfasts and desserts packed in between the cardboard box and the thermobox itself. Everything's neatly arranged in rows, nothing's damaged or torn.
On the side, there's a list of meals and their quantities.

Elena Malysheva's Diet for Weight Loss?Let's move on to the meals themselves. Each meal in this diet comes in two
separate containers, which is really convenient for portion control and storing in the freezer.One thing I've noticed about these frozen breakfasts is that they're actually really convenient. Each box contains 2 omelets with colored cauliflower, 2 with broccoli, and 2 cheese crepes.
What I like about these is that each box has all the necessary information - ingredients, weight, production date, and how long to reheat for.
Elena Malysheva's weight loss diet, 'Start' menuI have to say, the frozen omelets are pretty impressive even after thawing. I like to add some greenery or veggies to make it look more appetizing.
Elena Malysheva's weight loss diet, 'Start' menuLunches - 12 dishes, 2 per serving.I have to admit, having second courses for lunch is a bit unusual for me. In my everyday life, I usually have soups for lunch and save the main course for dinner.
But these lunches are actually really tasty and filling in terms of calories.

I'm talking about a variety of soups here - chicken, creamy pumpkin, broccoli, and mushroom. Many of these soups come with a side of crackers, which is a nice touch.

I have to say, I was looking forward to the day of rest, the detox day.

Elena Malysheva's weight loss diet, 'Start' menuGreek wheat cooks quickly, it's super tasty, even without salt. Elena Malysheva's weight loss diet, 'Start' menu?One of the most important rules - 2 liters of water per day! At first, it was tough for me to remember to drink it, I'd forget how many glasses I'd already had. From personal experience, I highly recommend filling up a water bottle with 500ml. 4 meals + 4 bottles of water, or two 1-liter bottles. It's way easier to keep track of your intake that way. Elena Malysheva's weight loss dietTrust me, I've tried it multiple times - without water, weight loss is super slow, and bowel movements get irregular.?And now, the most important thing - how much weight I lost in a month, and what happens after the diet ends.
I weighed 73 kg at 172 cm tall, and I was 27 years old at the time. I started trying to lose weight about 4 months after my second child was born.
That's how I looked with a weight of 73 kg.
Weight 73 kgWeight 73 kgMy diet started on April 16th and ended on May 14th.Result after 4 weeksWeight in the first daysI lost 6.2 kg in 4 weeks. Throughout the month, I only ate products from the set, followed a hydration schedule, and didn't engage in any physical activity or sports.After that, I continued to follow the same diet and portion sizes, had one sweet treat per day, and replaced candies with fruits in the summer. I didn't eat bread, pickled foods, alcohol, or fast food.
I lost another 7 kg on my own from May to July
Weight 60 kg
?And then my holy grail number 60 finally showed up! I was waiting for it, even betting with myself that I'd reach my goal. I marked this number on the scale by treating myself to a favorite restaurant. You've got to reward yourself sometimes, right?! Fast forward to the fall of 2015, a two-week vacation and a Swedish table full of food - nothing seemed to affect my weight. But as soon as I got back, I was back in routine mode. Six months after the diet ?My maximum weight now is 68 kg, which is after all the holiday shenanigans and other celebrations. On a normal day, I'm around 65-66 kg.Over the past five years, I've gained back 5-6 kg of the 13 kg I initially lost. But I only stuck to my diet plan for 8 months after the first round of pre-prepared meals. During that time, my weight stayed between 60-62 kg!
Why I gained weight again? The answer is simple: I stopped drinking water and started drinking alcohol (not every day, of course). I didn't restrict my portions or sweets and other unhealthy foods.Over the past five years, I've had health issues unrelated to my diet. The treatment also had a negative impact, making it harder to lose weight.
In the end of 2019, my husband and I ordered the diet again.
We started on February 1st, 2020. In a month, I lost 3.5 kilograms, which is incredibly little. The reason is my 4th wedding anniversary, several parties with friends, and a vacation in late February. I didn't do any detox days, and I often missed drinking 2 liters of water. Looking at the dates, it's clear where my "party stomach" was. Therefore, I consider this marathon unfinished, and my current goal is to lose another 3 kg. By summer, I want to be 60 kg on the scale ("blood from a nose"!).Today, my weight is 63.5 kg.
Why I'm not telling you that you can replace the diet with cooking yourself and save 15-17 thousand rubles a month?Firstly, I don't see any savings.
I've gone a whole month without buying groceries, cooking meals, or washing dishes. In other words, I've completely forgotten what it's like to think about what and how to eat.

Elena Malysheva's weight loss diet menu 'Start'?Secondly, the package helps you understand how much to eat and in what quantities, after a month you'll be pouring yourself 200 ml of soup, not the usual deep plate that's usually 400-500 ml. The diet develops useful habits, such as drinking 2 liters of water a day, eating 4 times a day, giving up juices, pickles, fried, and baked goods in large quantities.?I'm not going to reveal some secret diet. There is no secret! The package contains products with a total of 800 kcal per day. I think anyone understands what that means. Drinking 2 liters of water a day is also not rocket science. Eating 3-4 times a day in small portions 'with a glass'.
That's all the secrets. I agree, if you want to and have the willpower, you can cook 3 different meals every day yourself. Now, just calculate how much you'll save.
Conclusion: The 800 kcal 'Start' menu helped me lose 6 kg in 4 weeks, taught me how to eat properly, and showed me how many patties should be in a plate. Following this regime, I lost another 6 kg, in general, over 5 months - 13 kg!
I'm back to 60 kg after losing 13 kg over five yearsI've got to get back to the healthy habits I learned from Elena Malysheva's diet!Thanks for reading, and stay healthy!
