How to switch to proper nutrition?

Proper nutrition is not a rejection of delicious dishes and a transition to a boring and monotonous menu. On the contrary, thanks to such nutrition, you can significantly diversify the diet and enter the menu a lot of interesting and tasty dishes.

The essence of proper nutrition is to choose only wholesome foods and cook healthy dishes.

How to switch to such food painlessly? First of all, you need to study information about how to eat.

Fundamental rules:

• sharply reduce fast food, fried, fatty, rich food;
• eat often and little by little;
• stew, cook, bake food;
• drink plenty of clean water;
• include more vegetables, fruits, greens in the diet;
• reduce sugar and salt intake.

Then gradually introduce the rules into life, slightly adjusting the rules for yourself. If you want to eat fast food, cook it at home. Yes, you can cook a healthy cutlet, bake a whole-grain bun and get a tasty and healthy burger. Want to eat something sweet? Cook a fruit and berry smoothie, bake a cake of oatmeal, dried fruits and fruits, low-fat dairy products. That is, it is important to find a substitute for tasty but unhealthy dishes.

In addition, every day you need to drink more water. If it’s hard to enforce this rule, you should gradually add water to the diet. You can drink half a glass, but often. You can sometimes add lemon juice to the water. And you can put a bottle of clean water near the workplace and drink a little during the day. The bottom line is to achieve the implementation of a useful rule in life, but with the least inconvenience.

How to reduce sugar and salt intake? Instead of salt, spices, spices and herbs should be added to dishes. They improve the taste of food without salt. As for sugar, it is worth using dried fruits, berries, fruits, honey. For example, when baking, you can add dried fruits to the dough, then the muffin will be sweet and sugar free.

Food should not be cooked by frying. You can get a golden crust with baking. But sometimes you can afford something fried, the main thing is that it is rare.

It is very important to eat often: 4-6 times a day. This will avoid overeating. Moreover, you can cook at home and take with you to work, or you can have lunch in the dining room or cafe. But in the latter case, you should carefully choose a dish and give preference to vegetable soups, salads, fish and lean meat.

In order to switch to proper nutrition easily and painlessly, it is necessary to gradually introduce its basic rules into life, and not to rush to apply everything at once. In addition, it is necessary to select delicious recipes, and not go along the path of least resistance and cook too simple and monotonous dishes. Then there will be no desire to buy purchased dumplings or cake with fat cream.

A healthy diet helps with weight loss. But the process will go quite slowly. But the excess weight will not return, as after a diet. After all, you will continue to eat right, and not again return to the usual malnutrition.

You can use any products. However, one must pay attention to the amount of sugar and calorie content of food. So, dairy products should be chosen with a low percentage of fat content, meat and fish should also be low-fat. At the same time, vegetable oils should not be abandoned, despite their high calorie content, they are necessary for health. 

Of course, losing weight will go faster if there are a lot of greens, vegetables, berries, fruits on the menu. But at the same time, in no case should you give up eggs, cottage cheese, meat, fish, seafood.

An example menu can be composed as follows:

• in the morning: rice with berries, boiled egg, cucumber and tea; or omelet with vegetables, two slices of bread, yogurt, cocoa;
• snack: smoothie or fruit;
• lunch: ear, baked chicken, salad, bread, compote; or vegetarian borsch, stewed fish with vegetables, a slice of bread, fruit drink;
• snack: a slice of whole grain bread with curd cheese and tomato; or cottage cheese with nectarine;
