Yulia Kovalchuk's hairstyle is weighted people. Yulia Kovalchuk: “Women who live by the principle “Take me for who I am” are very mistaken

Long blonde hair has long been considered calling card Yulia Kovalchuk. But recently, the singer decided to change her image - although not drastically, but quite noticeably. The wife of Alexei Chumakov cut her long curls and now boasts a trendy elongated bob.

Yulia Kovalchuk's new hairstyle

My new haircut!!! And, it seems, this is not the most insane act, but I think the girls will understand me that sometimes you go to a new one for a very long time ... and then you do it and you don’t regret it !!! Thanks to my Masha for taking care of my hair for 8 years, and only you could I entrust this little sacrament,

Posted by Julia on Instagram. The singer's fans appreciated this beauty transformation with thousands of likes, but expressed the hope that Kovalchuk would not change her hair color after the haircut - it really suits her to be a blonde, despite all the stereotypes.

I've been debunking the blonde stereotype all my life. As a child, I was a little darker, but now my natural color is ash blonde. When you are small, go to school, this stereotype does not stick to you. There is no division that the fair ones are stupid, and the dark ones are smart. There are just stupid and smart ones, regardless of hair color. At school, I didn’t come across this stereotype at all, and when I moved to Moscow, studied at the university, got into the “Brilliant” group, I didn’t even give a reason to think that I was stupid. This image is absolutely not mine, - Kovalchuk told HELLO.RU.

- Yulia, how did the participants of the third season of the show surprise you? What distinguishes people who decide to lose weight in front of the whole country?

The guys were surprised by the incredible friendliness towards each other! To be honest, the participants of the last two seasons did not differ in this. People are not always ready to compromise, for someone it is more important to achieve a goal, and not to maintain a relationship. In this case, all the guys supported each other. By the way, an important difference: this season, the participants lose weight in duets. These are ten couples, including relatives, friends and just people who met at the casting. The total weight of all project participants is 2910 kg, just imagine! Among the heroes there is a driving instructor, wedding photographer, taxi driver, driller and more. All of them, in my opinion, are distinguished by courage.

Imagine what it's like to show yourself to the whole country, to demonstrate an imperfect form! And not just to show, but also to start working on yourself, to be able to find mutual language with other participants, adapt and find allies. Rotten people in this situation will not survive.

- Have you ever put on weight? You know this problem: how to get rid of extra pounds?

- The only moment when I weighed five kg more than now was in my student years. I was in my first year of college at the time. She didn't look plump, more like a teenager with appetizing forms. And those five kilograms were the result of not quite proper nutrition. How do most students eat? Snacks, fast food, irregular meals ... But even at that time I was friends with sports and choreography. Physical activity is a part of my life, so my weight is always normal.

On vacation I can relax again. But this means that later I will load myself with additional exercises that will help to burn everything superfluous. Yes, and at the table you can not only eat, but also actively communicate, include some active games in the script. So you can afford everything, but in moderation and not forgetting about regular physical activity.

From April 18, the Russian analogue of the American reality show The Biggest Loser - "Weighted People" starts on the STS channel. The project was hosted by 32-year-old singer and actress Yulia Kovalchuk. On the eve of the show’s release on television, the site met with the artist and learned how to properly motivate yourself to play sports, why lack of time is not an obstacle to physical activity, and whether a woman with forms can be considered beautiful.

32-year-old Yulia Kovalchuk is a role model: slim, beautiful, successful. The singer always watches her figure and does not miss any opportunity to go in for sports. Perhaps that is why she became the host of the reality show "Weighted People". In the Russian analogue of the American project The Biggest Loser Julia Kovalchuk, together with a team of qualified specialists (fitness trainers, nutritionist and psychologists), will help 18 overweight participants to radically change their lives - lose those annoying pounds and compete for an impressive prize fund 3 million rubles.

website: Julia, how did it happen that you became the host of the show "Weighted People"?

It seems to me to see in front of you a person who is much slimmer than you, and at the same time asks or even makes you perform physical exercise, this is a great incentive to work on yourself, to win. So inviting me to host the show "Weighted People" is an informed decision. I was very worried about the participants, sometimes to tears, because I saw how their characters broke during the trials, how difficult it was for them to change themselves for the sake of cherished dream. As planned by the creators, I had to be more restrained and strict than in life. So in front of the camera she could not give up.

. What about your loved ones? How can you help a person in such a situation?

Yu.K.: You can only help with sober, tough advice. There are no other options. Because these people are already reaching the point where gentleness on the part of loved ones only exacerbates the situation.

“It is a lie like:“ No, you’re normal, just a little bit plump, ”when a real fat man is standing in front of you, and creates a big problem for obese people. Of course, you need to choose words very correctly, not to offend a person, not to offend.

But an overweight person must understand that he brought himself to such a state and overweight threaten his health. For a woman, this is fraught with the impossibility of becoming pregnant; men most often have problems with potency. From the fact that the hormonal background is changing, hair falls out, in the end.

Among my relatives and friends, very fat people No. But even those who are even slightly overweight always get their dose of "healthy" advice from me. (smiles). Otherwise it won't work. I always try to help in any way I can - I talk about the daily routine, about good diets, new exercises. For my parents, I myself am a motivation, as they need to monitor their health so that there is no pain in the joints, in the spine, rheumatism. All my loved ones are in good shape, including my husband!

website: Many people think that if you are a celebrity, a media person, then it’s easier for you to find time and money for sports ...

Yu.K.: You know, it would be very cool to interview my mother on this topic. I'll explain why. Once she came to visit me, and I decided to show her what the life of an artist is. She and I went to the shooting, rehearsals, together with me my mother was present at the interview, then at the concert ... Arriving home at 2 am, she exhaled: “Hellish profession!”

“There is a misconception that artists go only to concerts and performances, the rest is just a trifle, offscreen work. In my case, it's a 24-hour job, because I'm my own producer."

In addition to the fact that I need to work out concerts, I also meet a huge number of people. I also help my colleagues and friends organize some meetings.

website: Then how do you manage to deal with yourself in such a schedule?

Yu.K.: To be honest, I generally don’t have enough time to go to the gym. I certainly try to do it. But in the event that I don’t get into the gym, believe me (and my husband will confirm it!), I go to bed at home and pump the press. I do simple exercises. While walking with dogs, I run. In summer I ride a bike. I am always looking for an excuse to increase my physical activity, and this is all in addition to the fact that I constantly have to run in heels.

“Lack of time is too easy an excuse for those who say so. If you wish, you can do everything. And if a person refers to the fact that there is no time for sports, but at the same time he finds it in order to go to the Internet and write a suffering comment about it somewhere on the forum instead of lying down and shaking the press, then this indicates that that he is lazy. We must look for the reasons in ourselves.

All my successful colleagues, believe me, often have very little time for themselves. Everyone will tell you that they visit the beautician "forays", periodically stop by the bathhouse and pool in order to somehow tone themselves up after a hard day's work.

Yu.K.: I don't have a typical day otherwise I would go crazy (smiles). But take, for example, an average busy day. Since I go to bed at 3-4 am, I wake up around 11 am. In order to feel good, I allocate 8 hours for sleep. I get up quickly, sharply, without any swaying. Breakfast is the main meal of the day. True, I can’t say that it’s very tight, it’s more important for me to feel full.

Yu.K.: I choose one thing: yogurt, toast, porridge, cheesecakes, cookies. Then I go either to an interview or to business meeting, or for shooting ... I rarely have lunch, but I try to have a snack so that there is no feeling of hunger and I don’t want to eat everything that I see later. For a snack I have muesli bars, dried fruits, salads. Then I can have a dance rehearsal with a ballet or a concert.

The show "Weighted People" on STS is an analogue of the western The Biggest Loser. It has been filmed abroad for 11 years, with success in 90 countries. In Russia, Yulia Kovalchuk undertook to fight overweight fat people.

When I was invited to become the host of the Weighted People project, I honestly sat down and watched several episodes of the American show at once, - Yulia told KP. - And it captured me so much that I absolutely understood: I want to lead this program. It was an invaluable experience - we spent four months side by side with the participants, experienced their ups and downs, but it was worth it.

- Did all the heroes cope with the assigned tasks in the end?

Unfortunately no. We had breakdowns on the site: people were crying, they were about to leave. It is not so difficult for a person to overcome himself physically: he will be rude, grumble, but he will do it anyway. But the fight against psychology is more difficult. A team of trainers and nutritionists had to find the right motivation for each participant. The program also gave me a lot: before the show, I seemed to be well versed in nutrition, but, as it turned out, I made mistakes. For example, in one of the issues there was a competition in which it was necessary to determine the usefulness and calorie content of products by eye. I checked myself too. There were two vegetable salads on the table. One is seasoned with two tablespoons of mayonnaise and the other with the same amount of olive oil. The nutritionist asked the question: “What is less caloric?” Of course, everyone rushed to the salad with butter, because they decided it was more correct. In fact, there are more calories in oil. Although it is more useful.

- "Weighted People" was filmed last summer. Within a few months, your husband Alexei Chumakov lost a lot of weight. Is it related?

Partly. When I worked on the show, Alexei and I were simultaneously preparing for filming in a new feature film"I'll get married soon." Both the director and the entire production team, and first of all Lesha himself, came to the conclusion that for this film he needed to lose a lot of weight. And I immediately turned to a proven nutritionist - the one that worked in the "Weighted People". It can be said that she took advantage of her official position. She developed an individual program for Alexei. As a result, in a month and a week he lost 10 kg!

- But it's dangerous. Five weeks is a very short time to shed that kind of weight.

The nutritionist was given just such a task. She looked at all of Alexei's tests and talked to him. The nutritionist assumed that he would lose 7-8 kg, but it’s even great that it turned out more. The body responded well to new system nutrition. The specialist offered 8 options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lesha ate the usual foods: chicken, fish, lamb, beef, cereals, sometimes potatoes. But they were correctly combined and were in the right dosage. He was even allowed to drink a little - 100 grams of rum, although alcohol is usually excluded from diets.

- Are you satisfied with your appearance?

Once it seemed to me that I had a big nose, then ears. Then I complained that I had fat legs. This is a normal process for any woman, even incredible beauties see flaws in themselves. Now I'm happy with the way I look. I decided this: if something does not suit you and it can be corrected, then you need to work on yourself. And if nothing can be done, you need to accept yourself for who you are.
