Proper nutrition is a diet that is designed to last for years or even a lifetime. Adhering to it, you can not only achieve the desired result, but also maintain it without harm to health. The basics of proper nutrition are simple, it is easy to follow them - there would be a desire.
What to eat with proper nutrition
The basic rule for PP is the exclusion from the diet of products that are harmful to the figure and the general condition of the body, which have only a negative effect.
All food is prepared in four ways:
- cooking;
- for a couple;
- baking;
- extinguishing.
Fried and deep-fried should be eliminated from your diet. These methods of processing food negatively affect not only the condition of the figure, but also organs such as the liver and pancreas.
A very important point with PP is to consume enough fluid throughout the day - from 1.5 to 2 liters.
Salt also has a certain value. Its consumption should be limited to 7-10 grams per day, otherwise the body will begin to retain fluid, leading to metabolic disorders and swelling.
Sugar is a carbohydrate that provides the body with strength only for a short period of time, but in general empty calories are completely useless! Therefore, its use must be minimized or eliminated altogether.
Any semi-finished products are characterized by a lack of benefits, high calorie content, a minimum content of vitamins and microelements. Of course, lack of time due to study or work leads to the fact that semi-finished products are popular, making life easier, but at the same time they degrade its quality, provoking obesity and other health problems.
Proper nutrition should be frequent (5-6 times a day), and small portions. Breakfast is rich in complex carbohydrates, fats are permissible, protein predominates at lunch, carbohydrates and fats are already less than in the morning, evening is the time for protein products and fiber. For a snack, vegetables, fruits, nuts, kefir are suitable. Skipping meals is not recommended!
Components of a healthy diet
1) Protein! The most important part of the menu. You can eat foods rich in protein at any time of the day without fear of gaining weight. It can be:
- chicken breast, turkey;
- egg whites;
- milk, kefir, sour cream;
- low-fat cheese;
- beef (no more than 2-3 times a week);
- legumes;
- fish, seafood;
- soy.
2) Fiber! Also an extremely important element. It is found mainly in vegetables, which can be consumed at almost any time of the day.
Why should you minimize carbohydrates?
They are also necessary for the body, but they should be limited to 120 g per day, while excluding fast carbohydrates altogether (no cakes, rolls, sweets, beer, cookies, carbonated sugary drinks, etc.).
Proper nutrition should become a way of life, which should not be adhered to from time to time, but always. Sports activities, walks in the fresh air, a variety of wellness procedures (massage, contrast shower), proper sleep mode - all this will also have a great effect on weight loss and the general condition of the body.
Each person is the builder of his body! And it's not for nothing that they say: you are what you eat!
