What is a lifestyle without overeating?
Take yourself as a rule a little bit of malnutrition during a meal. Remember: the body gives a signal of saturation in 20 minutes after you put the first piece of food into your mouth. This means that after 20 minutes, you will be saturated, if you at that time ate 2 kg of a huge steak and during the same time - if you, slowly chewing, dealt with a small handful of cabbage-carrot salad. That's what healthy food is - time tracking.
We can do without harmful food!
You will look at the world much more confidently, more joyfully and quietly, if you throw the products that harm you from your life. This is one of the main postulates of a healthy diet. And at the same time you will get rid of excess weight and unnecessary problems. One pulls the other, so why not start with harmful products?
Taboo
Refined sugar, fast food, fried sausages, chips, sweet fizzy drinks, alcohol, any products with flavor enhancers, flavors and dyes are your way to fullness and depression. Scientifically proven that overweight and depression, as a rule, go hand in hand. Why do you need this?
Alternative
Replace products with natural food. For example, sugar - honey, and sausages - meat. Over time, you just do not want to poison your body with bad products. And rightly so!
The ideal menu for losing weight Of course, it is important to choose those products that you like - they would be natural. And not only those that are not tasteless, but extremely useful. But the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in them should correspond to the norms of healthy nutrition. Carbohydrates should be three-fifths of the entire menu, proteins - one-fifth, and fat - the same. Carbohydrates, of course, are best taken from fruits, not from bakery products.
But consider the nuance
Fruits are best from the morning and separately from other foods, so as not to cause fermentation in the intestines. So carbohydrates will provide you with useful energy. And what else you need from a healthy diet?
Water-savior
One and a half - two liters of purified water a day - a pledge to cleanse the body of toxins and good skin as a consequence.
Be healthy, lose weight easily and be sure to consult your doctor before deciding on a healthy diet!
