She went on hunger strike: how Anna Semenovich lost weight after self-isolation

The coronavirus pandemic affected everyone differently. Some started reading more and gaining new knowledge, some started practicing hard at home, and some went crazy in four walls. Singer and actress Anna Semenovich self-isolation was not easy: she experienced severe stress, because of which she began to eat uncontrollably and rapidly gain weight. About her experiences and further weight loss the artist told subscribers in Instagram.

“Starvation is a good anti-stress”.

At the end of May, Semenovich admitted to subscribers that the months of self-isolation were not given to her easily. As the singer said, this is due not only to the pandemic, but also to difficult events in her personal life. “Since the end of February, I got into some strange whirlpool of events – almost lost a loved one, lost several contracts at work, and all my plans for the spring evaporated and remained dreams,” she wrote. The former figure skater confessed that she always nibbled on stress with food, but usually it didn’t affect her figure. “Breakdowns” did not last long, and after a few days she picked herself up.

This spring in time to stop did not work. Only at the end of May Semenovich decided that it is time to return the former figure. Scheme of weight loss she chose extreme, but, as it turned out, effective – starvation. It turned out that Anna practiced it not for the first time: “I have been practicing starvation for a long time (I realize that my cheeks do not show it) and I do it for the good of health. Starvation is very useful in cleansing the body, when fasting from a fat cell ketone bodies are released, which have a very favorable effect on the brain. Fasting is a good anti-stress”.

I was very anxious, I was under stress and, I’ll be honest, I just started eating.

Semenovich notes that the refusal of food is not suitable for everyone, and before turning to such a rigid method, it is necessary to consult a doctor. Without medical supervision, she advises to fast for no more than two days, and also pay special attention to the return to a normal diet. According to the singer, on the first day after the “hunger strike” it is worth refraining from coarse food (including meat and fish). Instead, give preference to cereals, stewed vegetables (raw will irritate the stomach) and baked fruits, such as apples.

Minus 3 kg in 4 days

Under the supervision of doctors Semenovich began a five-day hunger strike, which was eventually reduced to four days for medical reasons. The first results became noticeable immediately – minus 3 kg in 4 days!

The artist approached the matter seriously – first she greatly reduced the number of calories consumed and began to work out intensely on special exercise machines. “Today is a very active day, little food and a lot of procedures, I am preparing my body for starvation. I started the morning with a workout on the simulator, the suit tightens tightly on the body, forming a vacuum, the body sweats and detoxifies at the same time. Great cleanse,” the singer wrote.

“I withstood four days of hunger, yesterday was the most difficult day, and my doctor decided today to take me out of hunger on a diet!” – reported energetic Semenovich in early June. The girl noted that in addition to her waistline, her stomach, which had been stretched after months of gluttony, had also shrunk. She also began to feel the taste of fresh food again. “In the morning I was given oatmeal kissel without sugar, just on water, and it seemed to me the most delicious meal in the world. I feel how my taste buds have calmed down, now food without salt and spices seems very tasty to me,” the singer admitted.

Semenovich is a big fan of salty, and such food retains fluid in the body, leading to edema and excess weight. The singer set a goal not only to lose weight, but also to change her taste habits – she gave herself three weeks to do it. “Starvation gave me a cool kick, and I will continue to go to my goal. I have a great result – already 3 kg for four days of fasting, continue to slim down further,” – wrote the artist.

Hunger strike was replaced by a strict diet, and for the next 10 days Semenovich lost weight by another one and a half kilograms. The singer noted that her figure began to look more taut, and the body decreased in volume. “I’m almost in the shape I dreamed of, before the full high I have 2 kilograms left to remove,” – admitted the girl. It seems that she was able to realize the plan – in early July, updated and slimmed Semenovich flew to Sochi for a vacation.
