DANIL NOGIN, PR REPRESENTATIVE

I have never been on a diet in my life because I don’t see any reason for it. Actually, I consider it right to eat good food, follow Lent and things like that. In general, it is good not to overeat all the time and eat good-quality food. All of my friends would like to go on a diet and always talk about it, but no one follows through. What a disaster!

MARIA METZGER, EFFICIENCY SPECIALIST

Absolutely; I always dream about it and always want to go on one. Sometimes, I feel awkward and fat. I believe it is better to discipline yourself and watch your weight when you are still young. The older you get, the harder it is to limit what you eat. I always try not to mix incompatible products. Now I eat meat only with green vegetables because it doesn’t go with potatoes. I know perfectly well that sweets and chocolates are bad, but I can’t resist them. Beer is also bad in large doses.

YEVGENY SMACHNY, BANK EMPLOYEE

I have never followed a diet and never limited myself in food intake. A diet is a list of certain products in a system that aims to achieve a desired result. I think I just don’t need it. I can control my eating. For example, instead of two pieces of cake, I can eat just one. A very small percentage of people around me are on a diet. In fact, almost nobody is.

TATYANA POLYAKOVA, TOURISM MANAGER

I urgently need to go on a diet. I have been on different kinds of diets many times, but unfortunately without any success, as you can see. I think it is because of my lack of will. I do like to spoil myself with delicious food too often, and I can’t give up eating what I want. I admire people with the will to stay on diets and resist the temptation food offers.

DMITRY ALEXEYENKO, DESIGNER

Look at me – why would I need a diet? I never gave a thought to it and never was on one. Dieting is a personal choice, but I think it is mainly for the people who would like to improve their looks or their health. I eat what I want, and I am very happy. I don’t gain weight from food. I don’t know where it all goes.

YEKATERINA KRIVOPUSK, MANAGER

Sometimes I try to go on a diet. I think it is necessary to put all thoughts in order before an important task like that. It doesn’t depend on your will at all. It is better to lead a healthy way of life, so that a diet becomes unnecessary. Exercising is very important for your health. I have many friends who are physically active and who pay attention to what they eat. They are very healthy.
