How much fat, carbohydrates and protein should be in the diet?

Choose them in this ratio. Carbohydrates - half of the entire diet. This includes such products as vegetables, especially potatoes, fruits, whole grain bread, and corn.

There should be less protein – up to 20%. You get it from milk, meat, eggs, peas and legumes.

The remainder is 30% fat, which you will get from various types of oils, seeds and nuts, as well as fatty cheeses.

Water – you need to drink at least 1.5 liters, and on average 2 liters per day.

This is a diet for a balanced diet, as a result of which a person does not experience stress due to lack of nutrition and nutrients in the body.

What foods should you not give up if you eat healthy?

Very often, when going on a diet, a person completely excludes fats from their diet. The body experiences wild stress, many processes in the body are disrupted. You lose weight for a while, but then you will definitely gain weight again. And the lost health will never be returned.

You can't give up fats, because it is from them that you get vital vitamins.

Diversify your menu

If you don’t do this, you risk not getting enough nutrients for your body and you won’t be able to get out of a state of stress just because of an improper diet, without even taking into account psychological factors.

A big mistake is to eat the same foods for a long time, impoverishing your diet (this is often done on mono-diets).

The harm of fast foods

Give up fast food if you want to look healthy and fit. Canned and smoked foods are also not for you. They are high in calories, but they cannot be called vitamin complexes.

The fact is that during industrial processing the properties of vitamins are lost, sometimes their content in a particular product is reduced to zero.

How many times a day should you eat to relieve stress?

Fractional nutrition, as practice shows, is the most rational. Both for health and, as strange as it may sound, for weight loss. And for the health of the soul too - that is, to combat stress, you should not overload your body with too large doses of food at one time.

Your healthy anti-stress menu should look like this

Breakfast (to speed up metabolism and boost energy for the whole day)

Lunch (again a small load on the body and replenishment of energy reserves)

Afternoon snack (low calorie, to activate the gastrointestinal tract)

Dinner (fresh vegetables or fruits)

An hour before bed – kefir or tea without sugar, maybe with a spoonful of honey

So, eating 5-6 times a day is a complete diet and stress relief. It is important that your daily routine is followed exactly. That is, it would be good to train your digestive tract to eat at the same time. Then it will thank you with well-established, effective work.

It is important to understand that with the help of properly selected products and diet you can help yourself in the fight against stress, but not completely. It is important to combine a reasonable diet with sports and the desire for mental balance. Then all your efforts will be effective.

Be healthy and happy with the right products and smart decisions!
