Proper nutrition for weight loss at home

Proper eating to lose weight is not a rigid diet, with many restrictions and a constant feeling of hunger.PP is a balanced and nutritious diet of permitted foods with a minimum amount of calories, which allows you not only to lose weight, but also to keep it stable.

How to eat well to lose weight?

A suitable diet for weight loss takes into account the proportion of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.The menu is structured in such a way as to create an acceptable calorie deficit, due to which subcutaneous fat is burned.And healthy foods included in the diet have a positive effect on the entire body, triggering metabolic processes that help improve digestion and reduce body weight.

The PP diet is not a short-term phenomenon, but rather a way of life that must always be followed to avoid weight problems.

Rules for proper nutrition for weight loss:

1. All fried and fatty foods, snacks and fast food, products containing flavor enhancers and food additives are excluded.
2. It is not recommended to eat any food outside the home unless you are sure of the correct proportion of fats, carbohydrates and proteins in the dishes.
3. Salt consumption is limited.
4. The morning begins with a glass of warm water, which should be drunk in small sips.
5. 1/5 of the entire diet is made up of vegetables and fruits, consumed fresh.
6. Fast carbohydrates - in minimal quantities, it is recommended to replace them with slow carbohydrates - unsweetened vegetables, pasta made from premium flour, wholemeal or wholemeal bread.
7. Fast carbohydrates - honey, sweet fruits - are consumed only in the morning or afternoon.
8. The amount of animal protein in the diet is 1 g per kilogram of body weight.
9. Water – at least 2 liters per day, always 1 glass of warm water half an hour before the main meal.
10. Fractional meals - eat at least 4-5 times a day in small portions.
11. Dinner - 3 hours before bed (at the latest).
12. Snacks - there can only be 2 per day: kefir and sour apple are allowed.
13. Eating is done away from watching TV, reading a book and other related activities.

14. Follow a meal schedule - you need to eat at the same time every day.

It is important to chew all food well and for a long time, this way the feeling of prolonged satiety will arrive more quickly.

How to switch to PP?

It's impossible to radically change your diet in one morning.A sharp refusal of familiar foods leads to disorders in the digestive system and the body experiences stress.The sudden start of any diet (without prior preparation) inevitably ends in failure, and in the shortest possible time.

A proper diet requires preparation.If the PP diet is accompanied by a constant feeling of hunger and thoughts about forbidden delicacies do not allow you to live normally, it means that the transition to dietary nutrition was incorrect or completely absent.

The correct nutritional system for losing weight is not only physical preparation, but also moral preparation and psychological attitude.It provides the following:

1. A week before the start of PN, it is necessary to gradually change the diet and reduce the volume of portions.During preparation, you can still eat fried meat and potatoes, but the amount on the plate should not exceed the area of your palm.
2. During the preparation period, it is not the products themselves that need to be changed, but the methods of their preparation.If potatoes are constantly eaten fried, they need to be steamed, baked or boiled.You need to do the same with other products: do not fry the fish, but bake it;do not cook the meat until crispy by processing it in vegetable oil, but cook it over low heat.
3. Sauces can and should be used;they improve the flavor of dishes.But sauces for sauces need to be prepared independently, without adding a large amount of spicy seasonings and herbs that awaken the appetite.

4. It is recommended to drink black tea and coffee without sugar;They should gradually be replaced with green tea.You should not drink water during meals or immediately after.

With a gradual restructuring of the diet over 1-2 weeks, the body will get used to the new menu and the transition to PN will not be stressful.
