Ksenia Borodina's signature diet: myth or reality
On the Internet you can often hear about the popular diet with which Ksenia Borodina regained her shape after the birth of her daughter. The secret of this diet is different on each site, as well as the approximate nutrition plan that is published by online publications. Many claim that the secret to losing extra pounds is the regular consumption of cucumbers, which consist mainly of water. Another version involves eating green vegetables and fruits.
In reality, Borodina’s miraculous cucumber diet does not exist, and what is written on the websites is just fiction, which has little to do with the TV presenter’s real method of losing weight.
A couple more secrets from Ksenia
Borodina smokes and is in no hurry to give up the bad habit. In terms of weight loss, smoking, of course, only plays into your hands, once again interrupting the desire to put something in your mouth. Yes, the habit is not good for health, but it can reduce the number of meals - if you go smoking every time you want to eat. It’s not for nothing that after breaking up with her, yesterday’s hard-core smokers begin to rapidly gain weight.
At the moment, Ksenia doesn’t see anything wrong with smoking and says that there is a time for everything – sometimes excess weight doesn’t bother us, sometimes cigarettes, sometimes something else. Now the most important thing for her is slimness.
Cucumbers are not the most useless product; they contain a lot of vitamins, fiber, and minerals. That is, your diet will not be completely “naked” while losing weight. When planning “supplements” to the diet menu, Borodina advises choosing healthy foods - for example, lean fish, chicken breast, olive oil. Little by little you will create an adequate, albeit rather meager, diet.
Physical activity is always good for everyone. Ksenia says that if you can’t go to the gym, don’t worry – you can work out at home. Walking, swimming, running, jumping rope, doing exercises on video - whatever you do, it definitely won’t get worse. Naturally, it is best to “sculpt” the body with a trainer, in the gym, according to an individually designed program.

Don’t take the first cucumbers you come across - nitrate root vegetables are very likely to cause you to vomit. So spend a little more time, explore the market and order the healthiest, most delicious and natural cucumbers.
Herbal and green teas are what you need when losing weight. Also drink plain water, but if you are prone to swelling, not too much. In general, the correct drinking regime is always important - and Borodina adheres to it. Very often it is enough to drink a glass of water and you no longer feel like eating, because we confuse hunger with thirst.
Losing weight at "DOM-2"
At the very beginning of filming the television project “Dom-2”, Ksenia began to have health problems. Due to hydrobalance in the body and hormonal imbalance, the TV presenter faced the problem of excess weight. In addition, the screen also visually adds several kilograms, as a result of which Borodin completely ceased to like his own appearance.
This is what Ksenia looked like before losing weight
The girl tried many remedies and diets, which very quickly had an effect, and the excess weight melted away before our eyes. However, the weight was gaining again and stubbornly did not want to go away. As a result, the TV presenter had to return to her former shape with intense training and a strict diet.
How Borodina manages to maintain weight
After giving birth, Ksenia really recovered, but in just a few months she was able to lose about 16 kg, restoring her previous shape. Now Borodina weighs 46 kg with a height of 165 cm!
To lose excess weight in the first months after the birth of her daughter, Ksenia began:
- take an active walk with your child, covering several kilometers on foot every day;
- monitor your diet, taking into account the amount of calories and fat, while trying to balance and diversify your diet;
- drink freshly squeezed juice;
- exercise three times a week with the permission of doctors.

Borodina did not exhaust herself with diets and did not train to the point of exhaustion. The TV presenter worked out for pleasure: moderately in the gym, swimming, walking.
