Effective diet is the way to lose weight
Three times a day you need to drink water, heated from 18 to 20 degrees Celsius. Drink water 30-40 minutes before you sit down to eat, this principle of separate use of water and food contributes to better absorption of food and the most effective synthesis of vital energy.
Effective menu
It is necessary to exclude from the menu extremely sweet fruits and vegetables, refuse sugar, fructose, honey. Of delicious fruits and vegetables for you - taboo: corn, melon, peaches, grapes, avocado, potatoes, and also exclude mango.
Refuse from sweet drinks, for example, from kvass and alcohol, including non-alcoholic beer. Smoked fish products, herring, taranka, squid, salted rusks, fish game, necessarily mayonnaise, nuts, chips and absolutely any seeds also need to be excluded from the daily menu, these products negatively affect your weight (that is, you do not lose weight).
Drinks - what will refresh and encourage?
But you can drink in unlimited and unrestrained impulses of passion for the usual delicacies - coffee, all kinds of teas and mineral waters.
Drink juices, only freshies (freshly squeezed), you can drink juices of any vegetables and fruits, except those that are taboo in the list listed above.
If the bread is only black
If the body is pulled on carbohydrates in the form of black bread, bread with a bran content or slightly stale - consult before that with a dietician or with your doctor.
Allows - eat, please!
The fish, meat and cottage cheese will reduce the fat threshold
If you like - eat low-fat cottage cheese, drink dietary yogurt or kefir (containing no more than 2.5% fat content).
Do not deny yourself fish, meat dishes. Fish or meat should be boiled, bake in the oven, cook in the microwave. For a change, fish and meat can be baked on the grill (infrequently). Before cooking, and even more so before the meal, remove all the fat that you can only notice. When preparing birds - remove the skin from them.
Salads, cereals and a very busy holiday belly
The stomach needs to be unloaded from the impact of meat, fish and everything else, therefore it is recommended to prepare light salads, filling them with olive oil only.
As for cereals, this is the same "system". Cereals are prepared with a minimum amount of olive oil, nothing more. Cook without adding milk or cream, exclusively on water.
Sometimes you can close your eyes to bans and add a small amount of spices to taste.
Schedule of eating food
You can have breakfast on a floating schedule, from 6am to 9am.
To have breakfast the second time, you will have three hours, from 8:00 to 11:00.
We dine not earlier than 10:00 and not later than 13:00.
The snack starts at 14:00 and lasts until 16:00, not later.
Last comes dinner, lasts from 17:00 to 20:00.
Do not relax and do not make concessions, do not skip meals. Decide for yourself when and on what day you will eat, and do it.
All the grandiose begins with trivialities, on which the foundation of stability and constancy is built. Such a schedule "accustoms" the stomach to a certain metabolism, so do not skip meals.
If you follow these tips, you will lose weight easily and deliciously!
