The programme is run in Russian
Anna hosts the three weeks in Russian — the daily posts, the podcasts and the chat. All written material (menus, recipes, shopping lists, guides) is in Russian too. Telegram can translate the posts and chat for you automatically, which requires Telegram Premium. If you are comfortable reading Russian, or happy with auto-translation, you are very welcome — if not, this programme is probably not the right fit yet.

This program is for you if:
you want to lose weight and keep the result long-term
You are tired of strict restrictions and breakdowns
You want to regain your energy and lightness
You dream of a healthy relationship with food
You are looking for a system that will stay with you forever

The Foundation — TheBetterPlate Method
No strict diets. Just balance and understanding physiology.
Harvard Plate as a base
The most researched model of balanced eating. Half the plate vegetables and fruits, a quarter whole grains, a quarter quality protein, plus healthy fats. A simple system that just works — every day.
Longevity Enriched — food that adds years
Get to know the foods proven to support longevity — olive oil, legumes, berries, leafy greens, nuts, whole grains. Every recipe in the program highlights these ingredients with a colored marker, so you can see at a glance where longevity lives on your plate.
Macronutrient Balance
Learn to build a plate that keeps you satisfied for a long time.
Working with Cortisol
Nutrition that helps reduce stress and inflammation levels.
Healthy Sleep
How food affects sleep quality and why it matters for your energy.

How the reset works
Welcome message, meet the group, the program structure and a prep checklist.
Menu, shopping list, video lesson “How FMD works and why it's not a diet.”
Fasting-mimicking diet: a gentle start to cleansing, lowered inflammation, returning energy and lightness.
What is FMD? →A separate exit menu: we bring ordinary food back gently and in order, without overloading. Included in Package 1 — it is part of the FMD week, not the start of the method.
Balanced plate, protein, healthy fats, complex carbs, fiber, meal sequencing, longevity foods — a new topic, recipes and a habit every day.
Gut health, sleep and recovery, women's health, iron, intermittent eating, spices. Final day November 14: we wrap up, lock in the habits, and close the chat.
FMD week already included · one decision, the whole program
Total Reset — day by day
Every morning the channel brings a new course day: the topic of the day, a short podcast with me, recipes, and the habit of the day. In the evening — a short check-in to lock in the result.
In the evening the chat closes — the programme is complete.
- Healthy desserts collection
In the second part of the programme we choose the three most active participants.
- Share photos of your plates
- Do the daily tasks
- Ask questions
- Join the discussions
- Tell us about your results
- Support one another
We count not only how many messages you send, but how involved you are in the programme.
- First place — a live one-to-one nutrition consultation with me, 40 minutes
- Second place — a 4,000 RUB certificate
- Third place — a 3,000 RUB certificate
We announce the winners on November 13.
On November 14 we finish the course and close the chat. Thank you for these two weeks — may the course be the start of new habits for years to come.

Self-care is not a luxury. It's a necessity.
The Total Reset is time you dedicate solely to yourself. To your body, your peace of mind, your future.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE PROGRAM
Over 3 weeks you don't just go through a program — step by step you reshape your eating, how you feel, and your relationship with food, so the result stays with you long after the program ends.
A gentle reset for your body
The first week is a deep yet comfortable reset. Over 7 days the body gradually shifts gears, the digestive load eases, recovery processes start, and a feeling of lightness returns.
- a soft start with no harsh stress on the body
- less heaviness and less bloating
- more clarity, lightness and inner steadiness
- a natural starting point for weight reduction
- preparing the body for a more mindful way of eating
This isn't an extreme diet — it's a thoughtful first step toward lasting change.
WHAT IS FMD?
FMD (Fast Mimicking Diet) is a 5-day fasting-mimicking diet developed by scientist Valter Longo at the Longevity Institute in the USA. To make it easier to prepare, easier to follow and to keep its effectiveness, I've added 5 extra supporting days.
The low-calorie regimen creates conditions for comfortable weight loss, cellular cleansing and rejuvenation.
In just a few days you see a drop in excess volume and weight, a feeling of lightness and energy, and improvement across health markers — without hunger.
At any time during the first week you can decide to continue with the Total Reset, or end the program if you bought only Package 1.
Living TheBetterPlate every day
The next 14 days focus on the heart of the program: not just "following a system" but learning to apply TheBetterPlate principle in daily life — intuitively and confidently. You start to understand how to build a balanced plate in practice, how foods work together, and how to maintain fullness, energy and comfort without constant restrictions or counting calories.
- build a balanced plate intuitively
- carry the system into ordinary daily life
- form habits you can actually keep
- support your health, weight and energy
- make eating clear, calm and sustainable
The real goal is that, after the program, you can apply this approach on your own — every day.
Not just a program — a system for everyday life
By the end of the program you have not just an early result in how you feel and your weight, but a clear foundation for what comes next. You start to feel your body better, relate to food more calmly, and make stronger daily decisions for your health and longevity. Alongside nutrition, you get a sleep guide and a gut-health guide — two pillars that make lasting wellbeing actually possible.
- a clearer way of eating, every day
- maintaining a healthy weight without extremes
- habits that are easier to fit into real life
- more energy, structure and confidence
- sleep guide: how to recover at night and wake up with energy
- gut-health guide: microbiome, digestion, and a calm belly
- a foundation for health and longevity
This is the essence of TheBetterPlate: not a temporary diet, but a life skill that brings together nutrition, sleep and gut health so you feel good — for the long run.
You don't just spend 3 weeks with Anna — you walk away with a system you can use every day, for the rest of your life!

Anna Bertoldi
Evidence-based nutritionist, Lifestyle Medicine specialist
I believe food is a source of joy and energy, not a reason for stress and restrictions. My approach is science-based but adapted for real life.
We won't count every calorie or demonize foods. We will learn to understand our bodies, choose what's best for us, and enjoy every meal.
