It's no secret to anyone that, in addition to sports, proper nutrition contributes to proper and effective weight loss. We will try to prove to you that proper nutrition can be varied and tasty, because the main thing is to learn how to properly combine the foods that you love.
You have probably heard the phrase more than once - we eat meat with a side dish exclusively from fresh vegetables and herbs! The fact is that greens are alkaline, and proteins are acidic. Together, they are great for weight loss. Greens contain fiber, which stabilizes blood sugar levels, improves digestive function and is rich in vitamins A, C and E. Speaking of protein foods, they reduce body fat and promote the development of muscle mass.
Healthy carbohydrates such as oatmeal, buckwheat, rice, quinoa, durum wheat pasta are an excellent, and most importantly, delicious source of energy that every healthy body needs. Important: you need to eat such carbohydrates not with proteins, as is customary for many, but with greens. Interestingly, the combination of carbohydrates with protein leads to weight gain, while carbohydrates with greens do the exact opposite.
Coffee is considered not only an excellent antioxidant, but it is excellent for metabolism, and in combination with fruits, it gives an instant boost of vivacity and energy to the body, which, in turn, helps to reduce weight. Therefore, you can safely afford a cup of aromatic coffee and your favorite fresh fruits for breakfast. Tip: Brew your coffee with cinnamon, which is also high in antioxidants and can help burn belly fat.
Even with the most strict diet, in no case do not give up fats, as they contain a lot of nutrients. In order for them to be well absorbed, nutritionists advise eating fats in combination with green vegetables and herbs. Note: The combination of greens and fats is good for skin and hair. So feel free to season vegetable salads with olive, pumpkin, linseed oil and eat with pleasure!
Interestingly, fresh fruits, combined with other fresh fruits, cause the body to burn carbohydrates and not retain them in the body as fat. So feel free to prepare a fruit plate or smoothie in the morning for a meal - it's delicious, sweet and rich in vitamins!
This combination of products perfectly stabilizes blood sugar levels, improves metabolism and provides the body with essential nutrients. For example, you can mix nuts, various seeds, a piece of dark chocolate (with a high percentage of cocoa, at least 70) with Greek yogurt.
Dried fruits with nuts are perfectly digested and serve as a healthy and satisfying snack! By the way, dried fruits are absorbed by the body better than any fresh fruits or nuts, and are also a source of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
