And I also restored my sleep pattern and began to feel my body.
The editor of Wday.ru decided to challenge herself and set a high bar for herself: to lose weight for an important event in a matter of days. Then she did not even know by what methods she still said goodbye to extra pounds.
The real story of fast weight loss in a short time
I am 27 years old, and I weigh 65 kilograms, which is quite a lot for my height (160). Although my girlfriends and girls at work say that I look harmonious in my weight (I hope they don’t flatter me), it seems to me that I need to lose at least 10 kilograms. Therefore, when I was offered to lose weight as quickly as possible and at the same time without harm to health, I thought: “Well, isn’t it a miracle?” – and immediately agreed.
Monday, disastrous for me 8:30 am. I, sleepy and unhappy, go to a certain doctor Elkin to lose weight in 4 days. I decide to look for information on the Internet in order to understand at least a little where I am going. For the search query: “Doctor Elkin” I see an incredible amount of interviews, articles and notes. The sleepless brain tries in vain to grasp the essence. I only understand that something more awaits me than a nutritional consultation and anti-cellulite massage.
Dr. Elkin met me kindly and asked me to identify the problem with which I came to him. His question seems strange to me, because it is clear that I have come to lose weight. Why else? Leonid Arkadyevich patiently explains to me that he is not engaged in losing weight at all, but in general improvement of the body.

Leonid Arkadievich is a sociable and good-natured person. He willingly answered any questions and talked about his life. Leonid Arkadievich has a rich past in medicine. As a surgeon of the highest category, the doctor has performed the most complex obstetric and gynecological operations for many years. Elkin also studied for three years under the guidance of a Chinese monk, studying the healing technique, thanks to which he is now helping people.
When I began to voice all my wishes and concerns about my weight, I was preparing for the doctor to start a long conversation about how important it is to eat right, and begin to schedule my diet for the week. But he told me: “Take off your clothes.” I confess as a spirit, this was my first experience when I stripped naked after a 15-minute conversation with a man. The session began with my naked reflection in the mirror. Dr. Elkin outlined problem areas on the body and colorfully painted a picture of how I can look, and most importantly, I will, if I undergo a course of his therapy.
The chest and butt are higher, the waist is narrower, the legs are slimmer – it sounds gorgeous. Come on, doctor, I’m ready!
Already lying on the massage table, feeling the chaotic touches of Leonid Arkadievich, I find out what his method is. The doctor explained that he heals with his energy, which he gives to the patient through his hands. In general, Elkin works in three directions at once.
The first is manual modeling, working with palms and fingers over special zones and points on the face and body, which changes the hormonal-enzymatic level of the body, as well as yoga sessions and proper nutrition.
The second component is working with energy channels. This method is based on oriental practices and is very effective, as it has a powerful positive effect on the functions of internal organs and the general condition of a person.
And finally, the third stage is psychological adjustment: release of internal tension, release of emotional forces, programming of consciousness to launch creative forces.
Dr. Elkin’s method is a combination of not only acupressure acupressure techniques with contact energy impact, but also an unconditional knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of all structures of the body, a reasonable application of the entire spectrum of restorative medicine techniques, including manual therapy, some aspects of applied kinesiology and craniosacral therapy. The doctor attaches great importance to changing the patient’s nutritional structure, and considers his main task to befriend his patient’s head with the body and teach him awareness.
Leonid Arkadievich works with each patient individually. The doctor recommended me to say goodbye to pasta (of any kind) and red wine forever. In general, goodbye to my gastronomic dreams of living in Italy. In addition, Dr. Elkin was genuinely indignant about who and why came up with the myth that a person needs to drink more than two liters of water a day. Two liters is the maximum, and that is not pure water, but liquid in general. Including coffee, juices and even soups. Excess fluid disrupts kidney function and leads to unwanted swelling.
Leonid Arkadyevich is also convinced that milk is contraindicated for an adult, and the benefits of green tea are exaggerated, black tea and coffee, according to the doctor, are many times more useful. Otherwise, the doctor promotes moderation, it costs nothing to forbid oneself, but it is worth learning to feel a feeling of satiety and not overeat.
1. Soda + chocolate
The combination of carbonated water and dark chocolate is extremely beneficial for the body. Thanks to gaziks, the magnesium contained in chocolate is perfectly absorbed. Plus sparkling water instantly saturates skin cells.
2. Rule of 10 seconds
We open the refrigerator, count to ten, during this time we realize that we really don’t want to eat, we close the refrigerator. 10 seconds is enough to get through to your true desires and not succumb to a fleeting impulse.
3. Water, stone, wood
In other words, the sea, mountains and trees are the main sources of energy for humans. Nothing fills people with positiveness and vitality like a meaningful contemplation of natural beauties. In addition, delicious food, a good movie, a warm bath, and, of course, love help to replenish the balance of vitality. And it doesn’t matter whether to a partner, family, friends or even pets.
A full-fledged recovery course lasts 12 days, 3 times a week. I was allotted only 4 days. The doctor immediately warned that he would not be able to create a miracle in such a short time, but the healing process would be launched, at least, digestion and sleep would normalize.
If you are sufficiently attentive to your body, general condition and sensations, then after the first session you can notice positive changes. I am grateful to Leonid Arkadievich at least for the fact that now I fall asleep and wake up as if by an internal timer – at the same time. Firstly, it is very convenient, and secondly, the general condition improves, mood and efficiency increase. Also, the doctor managed to stretch a thin thread from the head to the body. Understanding your desires is the basis, without which no changes matter.
Have I lost weight? Paradoxically, the numbers on the scales had lost their significance by the second session. I will say this, the judgmental marks on the stomach from tight jeans disappeared, the clothes began to fit better, and according to my inner feelings I became lighter.
These changes cannot be compared to what you get after strict diets and grueling workouts, because they come from the inside and stay with you forever.
