Many diets promise instant results, but health, hunger and boredom often put it at risk. To prevent this from happening, try to follow these tips.

Balance and variety

A decisive role in our diet is played by balance and variety in nutrition, which allow us to provide the body with all essential substances, such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and, of course, water. Try as much as possible not to miss any product from this list every day of your weight loss. Then the body will more easily tolerate new food restrictions, as it will not feel hunger for essential substances.

 

Fat for energy

Ms. Kirk says fat is needed to keep the brain, heart, nerves, bones and immune system healthy. The body uses fat much better as a fuel for energy production in every cell of the body than it does from grains and starches, which are recommended as the basis of a healthy diet.

But the constant use of starches and grains can disrupt the balance of blood sugar, as well as cause an ever-growing waistline.

Healthy fats found in natural organic products, healthy and tasty food will help you stay away from the "fake" fats on the supermarket shelves.

 

Carbohydrates from vegetables

Vegetables are our main source of carbohydrates and fiber and should feature in all meals and snacks, says Ms Kirk.

There is a lot of confusion about the use of carbohydrates as suppliers of essential macronutrients, which is understandable, since their range is extremely wide. There are many of them in most vegetables, fruits, root vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, which should be on the table every day.

Foods such as potatoes, bread, white pasta and rice are allowed occasionally, but in small quantities. And cakes, pastries, cookies, chips, etc. should be excluded, as they do not bring any benefit, except for instant taste satisfaction.

 

Your style of eating

There are no strict recommendations for the number of meals during the day. In addition, the work schedule and lifestyle also often make adjustments to this routine. The main thing is to follow the chosen eating style, which contributes to weight loss and filling the body with all useful substances from healthy food without excesses and overeating.

Movement wherever possible

Move more throughout the day wherever and whenever possible. Take every opportunity to go outside for a walk, jog, or exercise to boost your metabolism and get vitamin D even when the sun is behind the clouds.

 

Not always strictly

Ms. Kirk says there's nothing wrong with allowing yourself a little break from a strict diet one day a week. Tomorrow will be another day, and you know what to do then to make up for what you've done. Keep a positive attitude and be indulgent to yourself sometimes, without changing the main direction in your eating style.

Learn to count

In the early stages of changing your diet, it can be difficult. But gradually you will learn how to count calories, which will greatly help in the future to control the blood sugar level and the process of weight loss.
