The Bormenthal diet was discovered in Russia in 2001. It appeared together with the author’s weight loss method of the same name by Valery Romatsky, a famous psychotherapist and candidate of medical sciences. At the same time, a patent was received for the Doctor Bormental brand. The first weight loss center with this name opened in Moscow. Later, branches spread to other Russian cities.
This diet falls into the category of long-term diets. Most often it is used by people who are quite overweight. This system does not provide specific deadlines. It all depends on how many extra pounds you need to lose. The best part is that there are almost no restrictions. When they write “losing weight according to Bormenthal,” they mean switching to a low-calorie diet in combination with certain psychotherapeutic techniques. The latter are necessary to establish and eliminate the psychological causes of overeating.
Principles of the Bormenthal diet
The author of the technique himself considers it “non-forbidden.” It is based on a combination of two things - the influence of certain psychotechniques coupled with a low-calorie diet. Its main criterion is the elimination of the true causes of overeating.
As the author notes, the cause of excess weight is nothing more than an eating disorder. The feeling of discomfort, which is most often associated at a subconscious level in people with a feeling of hunger, arises from daily problems and stressful situations. To get rid of unpleasant sensations, the body begins to demand more food, especially food that causes a feeling of satisfaction and pleasure - these are carbohydrate, sweet and high-calorie foods. Thus, the unconsciously formed habit of “eating up on troubles” remains with a person for life. In fact, it is practically impossible for one person to cope with this problem; supervision and assistance from specialists is required.
Dr. Bormenthal's diet requires a responsible approach - you need to take into account your health status, body type, as well as some other individual parameters of a person. This is done to accurately calculate the optimal weight for losing weight. In addition, a person must clearly realize that he really has problems that he is seizing. Often, to realize this, a consultation with a psychotherapist is required.
Bormenthal method
The “Doctor Bormental” method provides weight loss using unique psychological techniques. It’s no secret that one of the main reasons for gaining excess weight is strong feelings. In order to somehow switch gears and get distracted, a person begins to consume food in exorbitant quantities. What does this lead to? Metabolism is disrupted, unhealthy appetite appears, the stomach stretches and, as a result, extra pounds accumulate.
Getting your figure in order and losing weight is possible only if you have the right psychological attitude and clear motivation. This is the principle of losing weight according to Bormenthal. The use of special techniques allows you to change eating behavior, reduce the volume of the stomach and tame your appetite.
Those wishing to learn more about this method are recommended to read Alexander Kondrashov’s book “Diet “Doctor Bormental: Give Up... and Become Slim.” It is also available for downloading in the most easy-to-read formats.
Rules
— The primary principle of the method is that you can eat absolutely any food. But daily no more than 1000-1200 kcal. This means that if you do decide to diet, you'll need to invest in a calorie counting pad and a kitchen scale. An excellent option would be a mobile application, so you definitely won’t miss any information. So, when starting a diet, you must strictly observe the calorie content of each serving and in no case exceed the daily allowance.
You can indulge in both chocolate and ice cream, but the calories you eat must be subtracted from your daily total. Over time, you will realize that it is better to spend these numbers on a full meal than on a piece of sweets - this is one of the important steps in the fight against excess weight.
— There are no prohibited products in this method. But one of the important conditions for its observance is the daily consumption of protein foods such as fish, meat and eggs. This is necessary due to the fact that the diet is low-calorie, and a lack of protein can negatively affect the human body.
— You can exclude hot spices and seasonings from the menu, as they whet the appetite.
— Once a week it is recommended to do kefir fasting days. This is due to the fact that the body requires periodic shaking. The fact is that with a low-calorie diet, “economy mode” is activated, and this reduces metabolism, which is why weight loss slows down.
— Dr. Bormenthal’s diet excludes alcohol. The high sugar content and high calorie content of alcohol-containing liquids slow down the process of losing weight.
— The method is based on fractional meals: it is recommended to eat food, including snacks, at least 7-8 times 200 grams each. You should not allow yourself to feel hungry. The intervals between meals should not exceed three hours, so the body works without breaks, constantly digesting incoming foods. If the breaks are too long (this also applies at night, between dinner and breakfast), the metabolism slows down. So the assertion of many that eating after six in the evening is strictly prohibited is fundamentally incorrect. Digestion is also a significant burden on the body.
— To extend the feeling of fullness for a longer period, you need to drink a glass of hot tea after eating.
— By denying yourself simple physical activity, you only slow down the process of losing weight. You shouldn’t exhaust yourself, but fitness or yoga classes, as well as walking or cycling should become firmly established in your life along with your diet.
— Such a noticeable difference of 200 kcal was invented for a reason. 1000-1200 kcal is a possible diet, but it is best to stick to the middle. If physical activity is present along with the diet, consumption of 1200 kcal is allowed, no more. With a sedentary lifestyle, 1000 kcal is the ceiling; you shouldn’t allow yourself to eat even 10 kcal more.
— If your lifestyle is too active, the system makes it possible to increase the daily norm by as much as 300 kcal, that is, adding this figure to the average value, you get the allowed 1400 kcal.
- If, while following a diet, you are overtaken by an illness or a common cold, you can add 200 kcal to the diet and introduce plenty of constant warm drinks.
Tables of caloric content of foods according to Bormenthal

The peculiarities of caloric content according to Dr. Bormenthal are that caloric content is calculated not only per 100 g of product, but also per 1 g. This is what makes using the table of caloric content of products according to Bormental much easier. It is also worth noting that the table lists only thermally processed products.

Contraindications
The Bormenthal diet is strict, which is why it is strictly prohibited:
- People under 18 years of age and those over 60 years of age.
- Pregnant and lactating women.
- Suffering from acute infectious and chronic diseases.
- For diabetes mellitus.
- For menstrual irregularities.
- For hormonal and mental disorders.
Also, the diet is not recommended for athletes due to the fact that it leads to a decrease in muscle mass and a general loss of strength.
Before using this weight loss technique, be sure to consult with a specialist!
Advantages and disadvantages
This weight loss method, like Dr. Bormenthal's diet, has very impressive reviews. If you follow everything exactly, it is simply impossible not to lose weight. Weight loss is different for everyone, but it always happens at a fairly fast pace.
Another undeniable advantage of the system is that there are no prohibited products. You can eat whatever you want without going beyond your daily calorie limit.
Despite its impressive advantages, the technique also has its drawbacks. These include:
- Weakness that accompanies almost the entire diet.
- Deterioration of mood and decreased performance.
- Due to the most severe calorie restrictions, there is often a phenomenon such as a decrease in immunity, and this can lead to a number of troubles in the form of various diseases. There is also a risk of developing anemia and various hormonal disorders.
- Another unpleasant feature that accompanies the diet is loss of physical tone, flabby muscles and sometimes loose skin. It is for this reason that you should not neglect light physical activity; physical and spa treatments will also help maintain skin tone.
- Many people don't like constantly counting calories. This is an extremely painstaking task; organized and disciplined people can cope with it.
Features of creating an individual menu
Once again, when losing weight using Dr. Bormenthal’s method, you are your own nutritionist. There is no universal list of foods and portion sizes that you should adhere to while following this diet. How to immerse yourself in the system so smoothly that you don’t feel psychological discomfort?
First you need to get some scales – kitchen and regular, floor scales. To estimate the energy value of the dish you want to cook, you need to weigh all its ingredients and calculate their calorie content using the table, and then determine the total calorie content of the dish.
When the dish is ready, you need to choose a portion. It also needs to be weighed and its energy value determined. Do not forget to record the resulting indicator in your diary - this will help you calculate the remaining daily requirement. Thus, everything that you plan to eat during the day is subject to detailed analysis, based on the general information of which a daily weight loss menu is compiled according to Dr. Bormenthal’s system.
At first, you may be confused by the feeling that all this is too difficult and takes a lot of time. However, practice shows the opposite - after 21 days (it is during this period that a person develops this or that habit) you will bring all actions to automaticity and will not experience any inconvenience.
Calorie table
Calorie counting is the main point in a system such as Dr. Bormenthal’s diet; a menu for the week or every day will help you create a specially designed calorie table.
Table of food calorie content per 100 grams:
Its main advantage is that it indicates the calorie content of a ready-to-eat product, the only exception being cereals, which are considered in dry form.
Brief description, essence of the diet
The essence of the Bormenthal diet is weight loss by reducing calories consumed throughout the day. Much depends on body weight and physical activity. If you have to travel frequently on foot and manage to exercise during the day, it is recommended to consume up to 1400–1500 kcal per day. If you have a sedentary lifestyle or obesity, it is better to reduce the norm to 1000 calories - this will allow you to start the active breakdown of fat deposits.
It is better for athletes to increase the number of calories to 1300–1700, otherwise the results of reducing the calorie content of meals, in addition to weight loss, will be deterioration in performance and frequent fatigue. In case of health problems (exacerbation of chronic diseases or colds), you will also have to revise the menu - you are allowed to increase the norm by 200-300 kcal, returning to the previous fat-burning diet after recovery.
To regularly note the effectiveness of weight loss following the Bormenthal diet, it is recommended to use scales - if there are no results, you will have to re-examine the features of the diet or reduce the number of calories consumed. It is also necessary to keep a special notebook in which to enter the calorie content of dishes - this will allow you not to exceed the norm and avoid mistakes that are dangerous for your figure. Also write down the results after each weigh-in - this will allow you to note the effectiveness of Dr. Bormenthal’s diet.
Nutritionists warn that at first, counting calories will take a lot of time, so you should keep a sign with the calorie content of foods at hand at all times. You should arm yourself with patience - after a few weeks, the calculations will be carried out automatically, and it will only take a few minutes to create a menu. If there are concerns that you will not be able to cope with the ordering of your diet and calculations, it is recommended to use a ready-made scheme - this will save time and avoid shortcomings that negatively affect your figure.
Table Tips
1. Don’t forget to write down the calorie content and number of components of the dish you prepare for the first time. In the future, if you want to repeat its preparation, you will not have to do the calculations again.
2. Dr. Bormenthal’s diet is quite complex and sometimes tedious. A menu compiled for the week will make the daily tedious procedure of counting calories easier. It is worth planning what you will eat for several days in advance. At the same time, try to make breakfast carbohydrate-rich, so you will be much more active throughout the day. For lunch, it is better to eat more protein foods, and leave the lightest foods, such as vegetables, for dinner.
Basic recommendations
When preparing meals, be sure to use the calorie table. It can be found on the Internet and saved on your computer. The most important thing is to remember to write down all the foods you eat and the total number of calories every day. This way you can analyze your own daily intake and, if necessary, make adjustments. In addition, you must adhere to the following rules:
- Have dinner no later than 4 hours before going to bed.
- Eat 5-6 times a day, maintaining equal intervals between meals.
- Minimize the consumption of alcoholic beverages and spices that stimulate the appetite, as well as smoked foods, fatty and salty foods.
- Every meal must include eggs, meat or cottage cheese (your choice).
- After breakfast, lunch and dinner, drink a glass of hot tea to keep you full.
- You need to drink as much water as your body requires. It doesn't satisfy your hunger. And since fasting, according to Bormenthal, is prohibited, it is impossible to replace food with drink.
- The diet must certainly contain fruits or berries.
Hunger
As mentioned above, in accordance with this weight loss method, you should under no circumstances starve. After all, drastic restrictions in food slow down metabolism and lead to further gain of extra pounds.
Don't forget that weight goes off when you satisfy your hunger. At this time, metabolic processes are launched, after which fat deposits begin to gradually melt. That's why many people talk about the need for a full breakfast. But if you are used to eating for the first time no earlier than 12-13 o’clock in the afternoon, keep in mind that this is lunch. And the body wakes up exclusively with the morning meal. Therefore, it is very important to accustom yourself to have breakfast on time.
In addition, it is necessary to distinguish between hunger and appetite. Hunger is felt in the stomach. But appetite is with the head and soul. You should eat when you are really hungry. Then body weight will gradually decrease.
Taste
Everything you put into your mouth should be enjoyable to eat. You can’t even count on the effect if you eat something tasteless or force yourself to eat something. Specialists at the Doctor Bormental clinic consider this a huge mistake.
When choking on tasteless dishes, you will definitely want to compensate for your suffering with some unhealthy tasty treat.
Doctors at the weight correction center recommend using all taste buds at once within one meal. How to ensure this? During the cooking process, add ingredients that will allow you to taste spiciness, saltiness, acidity, sweetness and bitterness. Within reason, of course.
You also can’t completely give up delicious, high-calorie foods. It is permissible for her to allocate up to 20% of daily calories.
Calories
The Bormenthal weight loss system is based on daily calorie calculations. Depending on the initial data (body weight and lifestyle), the permissible daily caloric intake can range from 900 to 1500 kcal. However, even if your data allows, it is not recommended to strictly adhere to the lower limit. It will not be possible to achieve a better result this way. If you starve, the weight will remain the same. The optimal indicator is 1000 kcal. Average – 1200-1300 kcal.
It is also undesirable to increase your daily caloric intake to 1500 kcal. Only athletes can afford such an increase. If you have a cold, you can add another 200 kcal to the average amount and drink more liquid.
