The Honored Artist of Russia, a talented wonderful performer of many roles in the cinema, Olga Prokofieva, has her own personal opinion on dieting and, in general, on all existing methods and systems of losing weight. The actress, with a height of 168 centimeters, weighs only 51 kilograms. But sometimes Olga wants to lose another two or three kilograms, and she easily succeeds.

It is these weight parameters tries his body stick Olga, since this weight is stable for a long time, thanks to regular use your proven diet. Although each of them sets itself some tasks that include the beginning of a new lifestyle, the beginning of the process of losing weight for the upcoming holiday or the beginning of the vacation. But, each time it is easy to find a reason so that you can push this period away. Time runs very fast, and a person only “feeds” himself with regular promises. By authoritative Olga's opinion Prokofieva needs to be well vented yourself and then conceived necessarily will doable.

Entrepreneurial, sarcastic, business-like Zhanna Arkadyevna from the popular television series "My Fair Nanny" in the wonderful performance of the talented actress Olga Prokofieva has long been a favorite of many. Every admirer of her talent closely follows the interesting ups and downs of her fate and cheers for her.

In his numerous media interviews Olga noted more than once that her constitution is conducive to fullness, so she always has to remember the correct diet of her diet. Olga Prokofieva says what she is always observed reasonable moderation in the use of food and adhered to the rule - "eat less, balanced, reasonable".

The actress for a long time had a lot of fasting experience and adherence to various dietary options. It even happened that she had to take no food at all for one week, she only drank mineral water and this cleansed mine intestines. After such severe restrictions, she lost weight by 7-8 kilograms, but soon these lost kilograms returned to her again. So Olga does not recommend this method apply to anyone, as it is harmful, hard to tolerate and ineffective.

Most Olga Prokofieva liked one easy good balanced diet, which she observed many times and never had negative moments and feelings after observing it. Duration Olga Prokofieva's diet is just four days.

An approximate diet of Olga Prokofieva's diet

The first day

Throughout the day, you need to use the following composition of products:

• boiled or steamed rice without the addition of salt and oil;
• 400 grams of apple juice;
• a small handful of chopped nuts and two fruits;
• mineral non-carbonated water in unlimited quantities.

Second day

During the second day of the diet, you must consume:

• low-fat cottage cheese with the addition of a small handful of chopped walnuts;
• fat-free kefir or natural yogurt.

Day three

During the third day of the diet, you must include in your diet:

• half boiled chicken;
• the pulp of a whole large pineapple;
• two small handfuls of almonds and raisins.

Day four

During the last day of the diet, your diet should include:

• hard cheese;
• dry white wine.

In daily composition used products no Olga Prokofieva restrictions does not exist, but it should be noted that in no case can not be fried, salted and add various herbs and spices in foods included in the diet menu. And of course it should drink enough a large amount of liquid.

Olga Prokofieva fully agrees with the opinion of nutritionists and diet developers that there is a very effective and interesting way to get rid of the habit of overeating. It consists in the fact that you need to strip naked and very carefully examine your figure in a mirror image.

Word "diet" translated from Greek means the phrase "way of life". Therefore, compliance with the rules and requirements of any diet is not an exhausting marathon or sprint, but really human lifestyle, which must be treated reasonably, without harming your body.

During restriction of food intake or adherence to any diet always necessary well get enough sleep and take or pour cool water from head to toe. Before taking a shower, rub the body with a hard mitten until redness, so that dead skin cells are easily washed off later. It should never be forgotten that the human skin is an excretory organ.

Also Olga Prokofiev recommends everyone to regularly arrange for themselves fasting days, using only fresh or baked in the oven, apples. These wonderful fruits contain a lot of useful vitamins, minerals and trace elements. They have a wonderful property to fight the appearance of plaques in the blood vessels, with edema, they perfectly cleanse a person.

Olga Prokofieva never forgets about including various types of nuts, raisins, dried apricots and prunes in her diet. These healthy foods are always present in her daily diet.

It is easy enough to keep yourself in constant shape when you do not have a tendency to be overweight. It is enough just to be in the fresh air more often, go to the gym and swimming pool, regularly use the services of a massage therapist. Lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

But for people who are prone to fullness, this is not enough. They need to constantly monitor their diet. It is quite often to stand on the scales and not eat after 18-00. Be mindful of drinking regimen and low-calorie foods. Such people just need to switch to a separate diet and enrich their menu with raw vegetables and fruits.

Prokofieva Olga belongs to such people. Since she is a very popular person, sometimes she even has to follow a very strict diet.

The star of the screen sat on the same water for a whole week and every day underwent a bowel cleansing procedure. This helped her reduce her weight to eight kilograms. But this result disappeared very quickly. And in a short time those eight kilograms returned back. Therefore, Olga believes that strict diets are useless. Because they just exhaust and exhaust the body.

But one diet is not only pleasant for Prokofieva. It helps to get good results in a short time.

Four days you can eat in any quantity the agreed list of products without all kinds of seasonings and salt. The taste, of course, is not very pleasing. But the result is worth it. Drink at least two liters of water.

The first day Olga eats boiled rice and drinks it with apple juice. On the second day, he allows himself fat-free cottage cheese with kefir. On the third day, you can already treat yourself to boiled chicken and fresh pineapple. We celebrate the fourth day with red or white wine, and have a snack with hard cheese.

When seductive thoughts about high-calorie foods appear, Prokofiev recommends at that moment to approach a large mirror and, completely undressed, skeptically examine yourself to your full height. This procedure quickly drives away all cravings for excesses in food.

Best of the day

Dietitian, Voronkova Elena, recommends systematically arranging fasting days for your body. To do this, it is enough to stock up on raw and baked apples. On this day, the body, in addition to unloading, will receive minerals and fiber. Not only the body will lose weight, but the vessels will also be cleansed, swelling will subside and the intestines will be cleansed naturally. In addition, treat yourself to nuts and prunes daily. Then the body will have enough vitamins and calories for an active lifestyle.

On fasting days, you must strictly observe the regimen and get enough sleep. In the morning, be sure to take a contrast shower with a scrub. To do this, just apply a little scrub on the surface of a hard washcloth and thoroughly rub it all over the body.

The businesslike, enterprising and sarcastic Zhanna Arkadyevna from the comedy series "My Fair Nanny" performed by the actress of the Mayakovsky Theater Olga Prokofieva has long become a favorite of the public. Everyone follows the ups and downs of her fate and cheers for her.

- Olga, when you see a perfectly slender woman like you, you always want to know: how to achieve this?
– You have to be angry with yourself: “Summer is approaching again, and again I won’t put on my favorite white trousers. Does that mean I can’t take care of myself?” Each of us remembers how she was before she recovered, how comfortable and easy it was. It is necessary to return this state, because it is such freedom later, when extra pounds go away.
Excess weight is dangerous not only because it is harmful to health, it also extinguishes all desires in a woman. “I won’t fit into my white trousers again - well, God bless them! I will wear brown. A woman may not notice how this metamorphosis will happen to her. And then it will be very difficult to change anything.

How exactly do you "take care of yourself"?
- I knew before that diets would not help, that only one thing works in this case: you need to eat less. Even the very word "diet" never liked me. Once, back in my student years, I tried to sit on the water for seven days. Withstood. Although the head was spinning and everything around seemed transparent. I lost six or seven kilos. But then everything immediately came back.
Each of us sets some tasks for ourselves, deciding from Monday to start living in a new way, to lose weight by all means for a holiday or vacation, and every time there is a reason to push back this deadline. Time flies fast, and all you do is promise yourself to lose weight. I think it helps a lot if you get really mad at yourself.

– There is another way to get rid of excess weight. Each of us knows what exactly is recovering from. But it's hard to admit it to yourself. After all, it is necessary to exclude from the diet what makes you fat, but there is no willpower. Is not it?
You don't have to exclude anything. Why deprive yourself of small pleasures? For example, in my refrigerator you can always find ice cream. There is a theory that some foods produce hormones of joy in the body. I believe in it, and if I believe it, then it is so. Ice cream is just that for me.
In the evening, if I want something sweet, I put myself a small portion of white ice cream - always in some elegant vase - and experiment. You can add grated chocolate and nuts, you can - honey and liquor. Ice cream perfectly relieves fatigue.
So you don’t have to torture yourself with prohibitions, you just need to gradually reduce the portion and eat a little bit five times a day, if it’s hard to immediately give up the habit of eating a lot.

- At your height, what is your current weight?
- 51 kilograms with a height of 168 centimeters. At times I want to lose a couple more kilograms, and I succeed. But they quickly return. Apparently, these two kilograms are needed by my body and are some kind of reserve. I have been stable at this weight for many years, precisely due to the fact that I eat little.

- Olga, in that case, how do you eat? Does a glass of yogurt replace your breakfast?
- Of course, I don’t eat a glass of kefir. But I love dairy products. Breakfast is usually low-fat cottage cheese seasoned with low-fat kefir. I prefer natural products, without preservatives and dyes, so I don’t eat yogurt.
Nuts can be added to cottage cheese. I always have them. I love bread and cheese. I drink tea and coffee with sugar. Glucose cannot be ruled out. Nothing replaces glucose for the brain. In the evening fish dishes and salads. I usually eat out.

What kind of physical activity is needed to keep fit?
- Unfortunately, I'm so busy right now - I can't go to the gym. But at home there is a small simulator. And there are rollers in the trunk of the car. I do all kinds of sports that my son Sasha is fond of. In winter, we go to the skating rink together in the Gorky Park of Culture, and in the summer we ride bicycles at the dacha.

- If you have a day off, what do you do first of all for beauty and health?
“The main problem is lack of sleep. Therefore, as soon as the day off - I try to sleep. I am convinced that a real woman should eat less and sleep more. Then there will be health. And if I have time, I go to my beautician.

- Are you aware of the achievements of cosmetology?
- I guess, yes. But I don’t try everything on myself, only things that have already been proven.

- From what you know, can something be considered a panacea? Say, for example: “Women, do not be afraid of old age, there is a way out!”
– You can, for example, already do without a surgical facelift and get a good effect. But really, it all depends on us. As you persuade yourself - so be it.

- Don't you think that the problem of rejuvenation has become epidemic in our country?
- This can be judged, most likely, by the aggressiveness of advertising. To rejuvenate and look good is a normal desire of a woman. Moreover, our woman became liberated quite recently and began to treat herself better only for the last fifteen years. Many attribute this to feminism. It really has nothing to do with feminism.
I see something else. There is a danger of overgrooming the face. Young people now start visiting the salon very early. Sometimes you look at such a woman, you think that she looks to be forty years old, and when you find out that she is only twenty-eight, you understand that she is very obsessed with her appearance.
Or vice versa: first, a lot of money is spent to have a delicious meal, and then even more to get liposuction. The sense of proportion often betrays us.

“Women have always found a way out. Previously, when there was one beauty institute for the whole country, many had their own beauticians who individually made very good creams.
- I still have such a cosmetic bag. Many of our actresses resort to her services. On the set, under the lights, we work 10-12 hours a day. Put a live flower under these devices - it will quickly wither. Can you imagine what our skin has to endure?
But I still deeply believe that the most important thing is the state of mind. Sometimes you see: a woman has no problems with her face, and her eyes are so dull.

- What personally helps you to maintain peace of mind?
We often complain to each other about our problems and various ailments. And life goes on in the meantime. And if tomorrow I will whine the day after tomorrow, what will change? It’s as if I’m making a bet with myself: no, you won’t take it, no matter what! And you don't have to react to everything all at once.
Catherine the Second, when she held meetings of the Cabinet of Ministers, put a glass of water in front of her. And when someone or something pissed her off, she took a glass and slowly drank the water. This quenched her anger. The first minutes of anger are the most unjustified.
I experimented on myself, I liked it. The main thing is not to succumb to emotions in the first second. Then everything will go differently. The same goes for food, by the way. I want to eat too much, get distracted, go to the mirror, look out the window. Look, you're already tired. The main thing is to switch in time.

– You have a lot of costume roles in theater and cinema. Does it hinder or, on the contrary, helps to find your own style? What do you look like in real life?
“We actors tend to doubt ourselves all the time. Our teacher Andrey Alexandrovich Goncharov called all of us applicants until the fourth year, believing that we did not reach the rank of student. On the other hand, these self-doubts are a strong impetus to the search for truth.
Previously, when buying new clothes for myself, I always consulted with my husband. And I got used to it so much that when we parted, I suddenly realized that I had never bought anything for myself and I don’t even know, by and large, what suits me. But it turned out that I can quite cope, the main thing is to be able to step over something inside myself.
I like to wear classic. Moreover, I love feminine things, what makes a woman a woman, and what men have not yet taken from us, but we have not adopted from them. These are ruffles and lace, tight skirts, fitted jackets, corsets and high heels.

- What could women of your type of beauty take on board? What colors do you prefer, what do you avoid wearing?
- I am sure that, in principle, every woman knows what suits her and what does not. Personally, I do not wear marsh and greenish tones and try not to wear pale things.
Some people think that if they wear brown and gray, then they are not young. And as soon as the hand reaches for pink, blue or orange, you are already young, you are trying to hide your age. I do not think so. I wear pink and love bright colors. Color, like delicious foods, also produces hormones of joy in the body.
I read in Nabokov: “There must be oranges on the table. It really lights up the table." Naturally, you need to treat everything a little with irony. If you deeply believe in all this, you can just go crazy.

- Olga, what do you consider the most expressive in your face? And do you use cosmetics in everyday life?
- Of course, the eyes. This is the main thing. Sometimes for some household chores I can jump out without makeup. But, in principle, it is necessary to make up a little in the morning, otherwise you live the whole day somehow not as if it were immediately in a draft.

Natalia KORNEEVA

Some are sure that Zhanna Arkadyevna from the TV series "My Fair Nanny" she "made" her everyday life. In fact, actress Olga Prokofieva is completely different in life - unlike her heroine, she does not like diets and does not seek to conquer men ... Although she also follows her figure and even considers losing weight a remedy for many diseases.

- Olga, looking at you, it's hard to believe that once this slender woman had problems with being overweight ...
- Were. At the institute. True, I was still quite young, 18 years old. And the reason is malnutrition. Our classes went from 9.30 am to 11 pm, almost without breaks. First, general education disciplines, and then the directors were released from theatrical rehearsals and came to us. And a long creative process began. And I wanted to eat something ... I remember a bakery on Herzen Street (now Bolshaya Nikitskaya). Everyone just burst in there to swallow anything. I bought a huge block of halva, immediately ate it - I was very hungry! - and rushed on to do it. When I came after college, my mother was always waiting for me at home with a lovingly fried chicken ... Of course, I could not resist, frantically ate and fell asleep, got up in the morning and ran without breakfast immediately to the train, and so every day.

- Probably, the result of such a "diet" was not long in coming?
“I didn’t even notice how much I got better. Once we worked out in the pool, got on the scales and saw ... 62 kg. For me it was terrible! In addition, in women, the weight is rarely evenly distributed: some from below, some from above, their cheeks swell ... and their eyes turn into such funny slits.

- Especially for actors, unlike people of many other professions, it is absolutely contraindicated to get better!
- We had a teacher Mark Anatolyevich Zakharov, who noticed such things very well. Once he told my classmate: "You have the role of a heroine, and you still take care of yourself! If you are getting better, put on at least heels!" He could put pressure on pride very painfully, and it worked. In addition, a slender figure is really part of the profession. You have to be in shape - just like you need to learn the text, know the mise-en-scenes.

- But what about, for example, Natalya Krachkovskaya?
- She is an exclusive actress, there are only a few of them.

TO BE FAT IS HARD WORK

- But it happens like this: a person eats whatever he wants, and does not get fat.
- It happens. I myself often say: "You're lucky, you're not getting better, you have such a constitution!" To this I answer: “No, my dears! Look at my mother, who, due to excess weight and heavy physical exertion, has earned herself problems with her legs, joint diseases ...” So I have to limit myself, and all women who already closer to forty, I advise you to monitor your weight, lose weight. Not even for the purpose of pleasing someone, but in order to make it easier for the legs and in general to feel good!

- That is, losing weight is, in fact, a panacea for all diseases?
- From many - for sure. This is especially true for women. The main thing for us is to get enough sleep and eat less. It's no secret that every woman has her own weight in which she is comfortable and feels feminine. And if she gets fat, then you have to constantly control yourself - for example, put your hands on your stomach so that you can’t see how it sticks out, or don’t forget to unbutton the button when you sit. Or buying special slimming underwear... It's all such hard work! One of the satirists said that a woman first spends a lot of money on food - to fill the refrigerator, and then - an even bigger pile to buy drugs for weight loss.

IS OR NOT IS?

- Does Zhanna Arkadyevna care about her figure?
- Oh sure. There are episodes in which she is on a diet, does not allow herself something, limits herself in some way, etc. In this regard, she has many problems ... For example, she once said: "Oh my God ! I quit smoking! I want to eat more! .. " In general, she is a woman who takes care of herself, possessing remarkable willpower.

- And how does actress Olga Prokofieva feel about diets?
- A synonym for the word "diet" is a restriction, a rejection of something very beloved. And since there are not so many joys in our life now - either we have forgotten how to rejoice, or really a lot of negative information falls on our heads - we are looking for something that would give us pleasure.

That's why we eat too much...
– Indeed, for most women, food is a joy. Many foods that contain carbohydrates help produce "hormones of joy." So, sitting on a carbohydrate-free diet, you can lose all your optimism along with extra pounds, become nervous, angry, irritable. Therefore, I do not like diets, I prefer to simply limit myself in quantity.

- Do you allow yourself to eat at night?
- Yes, I do. Because I am an actress, I have a specific job and very dynamic performances in the evening. I checked it on the scales: for one performance I lose about one and a half kilograms. In addition, I spend a lot of calories running up and down stairs during the day. Therefore, if I am very hungry, I can come in the evening and eat something that is not the most high-calorie.

- And what about a variety of chocolate cakes? Love sweet?
- Not now. Earlier, in times of general shortage, when cakes had to be "caught" in a bakery, I even learned how to make one cake from boiled condensed milk, butter, cookies, chocolate. Delicious extraordinary! But at some point I realized that I needed to tie it all up, because the extra weight did not take long. And then I ... forced myself to stop loving all the "unfavorable" products, first of all - pasta and potatoes. And sweet, of course.

HOUSE MATTERS

- Olga, confess, do you like to cook?
It's not difficult for me, but I don't enjoy it. Probably no talent. But since I'm a mom, I cook. Is it often? I don't know, it's a relative term. Of course, I always cook for a child. I myself eat on the set, and in the theater we have a wonderful buffet.

- Do you and Sasha have different tastes?
“Now they are completely different. Recently I have become absolutely "fishy", and he is a meat person - probably because he is a boy. So I fry chops for him, he is more indifferent to soups.

Your son is already 13 years old. But you probably remember how much you gained weight during pregnancy?
- No, not much - 6-7 kilograms. Probably, these are the features of my body.

– Is it easy to get back in shape?
- I didn't even think about it! During childbirth, doctors brought me an infection, blood poisoning began. Then for a month I was continuously injected, operated on again, so the question was about life, not about the figure.

- And now, when the question about the figure is still there, what is included in your daily diet?
- I really like seafood, I don’t perceive meat at all. Garnish - only vegetable. I love fat-free cottage cheese and kefir. I love ice cream - there is always a white ice cream in my refrigerator.

FITNESS AS AN ELEMENT

- Do you do anything special to stay slim?
You know, I just don't eat much. On the set, when lunch is brought, I always take fish with buckwheat - much more useful. I will gladly eat fresh salads, cabbage or carrots with cucumber. And all my performances are very emotional and dynamic: I jump, dance - such a charge.

- Do you do sports?
- You know how it happens - a shoemaker without boots. So am I. Right next to my house, on Tulskaya, stands the Water Sports Palace. Somehow I honestly went, bought a subscription for a month ... In this subscription I have not a single visit. There, a certain time is indicated: for example, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday from 10 to 14. But I never get there at this time, although, probably, you can come up and agree. Or you can’t ... in general, I don’t get there.

- So you don’t really strive for fitness?
- All my fitness is spontaneous. When on tour we are offered to go to the pool, sauna - I always agree, even if I get very tired. After all, there is no need to rush home, put Sasha to bed ... in the sense, tear him away from the computer.

- Do you remember the story of Charlize Theron when she gained 20 kg for the role. Would you agree to this?
- You know, this is such a question ... Because there are different roles. Sometimes, for example, they offer low-budget films, but you read and just fall in love with the script, with the heroine. If, for example, they call me to voice cartoons, I will agree to do it for free, because I love it. If I read a script in which the heroine gains 20 kg, but the twists and turns of her fate are extremely interesting to me - that's it, consciousness just doesn't turn on here, you fall in love with the role, and ...

TRY

MULTILAYER DELICATE
I love making herring under a fur coat. It's quick and easy: you cook vegetables - potatoes, beets, carrots. You can do it the day before. The hardest part is cleaning it all up. Then quickly throw into a food processor, no grater is needed. We buy herring already peeled, without bones. And the onion must be cut by hand. The main thing is to lay out in layers. The first layer of potatoes, a little onion on it, then herring, beets with carrots, pour all this with mayonnaise directly from the cut bag, and repeat everything again. Because when there are two layers, it turns out much tastier. By the way, some do not put potatoes, but without it, the "fur coat" does not come out at all! I get such a huge dish, and then Sasha always paints it with mayonnaise patterns.

MY BEAUTIFUL… ZHANNA

- How do you take care of your face, because makeup ages the skin?
- Yes, his face is very tired, it's true. Therefore, I try to arrange for him "fasting days", when you can not leave the house, respectively, do not use cosmetics. I make masks with a lifting effect, use a moisturizing cream.

The very word "diet" has always scared me away. I prefer to eat less.

Do you prefer any particular brand?
– When it comes to skin care products, I don’t have any addictions. I love changing everything. Only domestic factory creams do not suit me very well, they are somehow “crowded” for me, the skin is still tightened under them.

- Do you like to experiment?
- Yes! To do this, I go to one beauty salon, they sell a lot of all kinds of masks in bags, it seems, Japanese. I take, I put. Most importantly, I always believe that this remedy will suit me. I advise all women to tell a little fortune over their face, putting on a mask: "My God, it's good, tomorrow it will be so beautiful!"

- What do you like to wear?
- I prefer a feminine style, clothes with a twist - brooches, scarves, sometimes bows. Although in some cases I may prefer something else. For example, I like jeans with holes ... But still, at my age, you can’t have fifteen of them - you can afford one funny hole. So that there is no overkill.

– Does it matter to you whether this is a designer thing or bought in the nearest passage because you liked it?
- Of course, I don’t buy clothes in the passage. But it's not like I'm going to go crazy and buy "it" only from Laurent or from someone else. Thank God, there is no dependence on labels. I buy what I like.

It is always useful for a woman to conjure a little, to bewitch - this is internal help to herself!

- Are you consulting with Zhanna Arkadyevna?
- Yes, because my heroine from the very beginning declared herself such a fashionista, she wanted to appear in a new outfit every time, constantly change clothes.

- Judging by the series, she is a very temperamental person. It seems that she knows absolutely everything about the representatives of the stronger sex. Perhaps you also know how to win a man competently?
- To be honest, I'm not a conqueror ... They say that the way to a man's heart lies through his stomach. Indeed, it has long been noted that a man's character gets better when he eats. It is not for nothing that this scheme was invented ... Probably, I am not a very wise person in this regard. Perhaps this is my big puncture, but I have never had to win a man in this way ...
