It has long been no secret to anyone that those who want to lose weight need to reduce not only the amount of food they eat, but also its calorie content. This is achieved by completely or partially avoiding foods containing fast carbohydrates.
Harmful carbohydrates are sugar, wheat flour baked goods, various sweets. Their effect on the body is instantaneous, you get a charge of energy, but do not have time to spend it, and then all the excess is converted into fat reserves. Our body is so arranged that it always prepares the ground for all kinds of cataclysms - hunger, cold. The zombie apocalypse is about to hit, and you have a decent amount of energy at your waist, stomach and hips to hold out until the super hero arrives.
But such a force majeure is possible so far only in theory, but in reality we need to bring ourselves into such a shape for the coming summer so that we can breathe easier in the heat and feel no shame on the beach.
Several recipes will help you diversify your diet during your diet.
