Natalia Nikitina, a 45-year-old mother of two from Arkhangelsk, drastically transformed her life by losing 23 kilograms in just four and a half months. This transformation led her to win a beauty contest and inspired a career change.

Nikitina’s journey began two years ago when she realized she needed to address health problems and a weight of 90 kilograms, which she found uncomfortable at her height of 169 centimeters. Experiencing joint pain, headaches, and fatigue, she sought help from weight loss curators and embraced a structured approach to healthy eating.

Within the first week of her new program, Natalia lost about two kilograms and felt an immediate surge of energy. She was relieved to find that she didn’t have to completely give up sweets, as they were incorporated into her diet in healthier forms. According to Natalia, consuming enough protein significantly reduced her cravings for unhealthy carbohydrates.

She now eats six times a day, carefully monitoring her food intake and ensuring each meal contains 20-30 grams of easily digestible protein. Natalia emphasizes the importance of dividing the plate into three parts: 50% fiber from fresh vegetables, 25% complete protein, and 25% complex carbohydrates.

After working as a florist for 20 years, Natalia decided to become a nutrition consultant, driven by a desire to make a positive impact on others. She now works remotely, helping others transform their lives and achieve their health goals. Natalia also entered and won the “Mrs. Grand” crown at the regional stage of the “You are Unique” beauty contest for women aged 45–60.

Natalia credits discipline and a focus on nutrition for her success. She believes that taking care of oneself, especially through proper nutrition, is key to restoring energy and overall well-being. She emphasizes that nutrition accounts for 80% of a beautiful body and healthy spirit, while physical activity makes up the remaining 20%.
