Asmus Reveals Figure After Breaking Bread Ban

Kristina Asmus kept baked goods off-limits for many years. The actress decided to give up bread as a teenager after a person close to her said she needed to lose weight for the stage. The restrictions ultimately lasted 21 years.

The 38-year-old performer spoke about how strict her relationship with dough had been after a trip to North Ossetia. Even pizza, burgers and shawarma went through a kind of inspection all those years: Asmus tried not to eat the doughy part.

«I was 17 and a person important to me said I needed to lose weight for the stage. Back then I went to extremes and stopped eating altogether, but that«s another story. And bread and baked goods all those years — none at all. In pizza I always ate the topping, I ate a burger on a lettuce leaf, and in shawarma I pulled out the filling… But recently I came to North Ossetia, and not trying Ossetian pies in Ossetia is a crime. And there it»s impossible to separate the filling, the dough is the most delicate, it melts in your mouth, and there«s about a kilogram (2.2 lb) of filling in a pie, I»ve never seen anything like it anywhere. Even now as I write this — my mouth is watering,» Asmus admitted.

In Ossetia, years of discipline faltered. Kristina told herself that the next portion would definitely be the last, and she had to repeat such promises about three times a day. But then a new pie would appear — with pumpkin, cherry, potato and cheese or beet greens — and her earlier resolve quickly vanished.

From the trip, Asmus brought back not only impressions of the Digor Gorge (a valley in North Ossetia, Russia). Five more pies went home with her. The actress specifically clarified that she meant baked goods, not five extra kilograms.

«My vision blurred, and there I was gathering the last crumbs on my plate and unable to get up from the table. In the end I brought home +5. Pies, I mean, not kilograms. There are no Ossetian pies in the photo, I didn«t have time to photograph them, I attacked them right away,» shared the ex-wife of Garik Kharlamov.

After her gastronomic capitulation, Asmus swapped mountains for the tropics. The actress is now on vacation in the Maldives with her daughter from Garik Kharlamov. Kristina has now published beach shots in a bright swimsuit. She posed in profile with her hands raised to her head and showed off her figure. Judging by the new photographs, a few weeks of acquaintance with pies did not pose a serious threat to the actress«s shape after all.

Incidentally, Asmus is not the only one spending the end of summer by the sea. Alina Zagitova also chose a warm resort and, during a vacation in Turkey, showed her followers beach shots and her slim figure.
