Proper nutrition for weight loss at home

Proper nutrition for weight loss is not a strict diet with many restrictions and a constant feeling of hunger.PP is a balanced and nutritious diet consisting of permitted foods with a minimum of calories, which allows you not only to lose weight, but also to maintain it at a stable level.

How to eat well to lose weight?

A proper diet for weight loss takes into account the ratio 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 whole body, triggering metabolic processes that help improve digestion and reduce body weight.

The PP diet is not a short-term phenomenon, but a lifestyle that must always be followed in order not to have weight problems.

Rules of proper nutrition for weight loss:

1. Excluded are all fried and fatty foods, snacks and fast food, products containing flavor enhancers and food additives.
2. It is not recommended to eat food outside the home unless you are sure of the correct ratio of fats, carbohydrates and proteins in the dishes.
3. Salt consumption is limited.
4. The morning begins with a glass of warm water, which you need to drink in small sips.
5. 1/5 of the total diet consists of vegetables and fruits, eaten 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 (no later).
12. Snacks - there can be only 2 per day: kefir and one sour apple are allowed.
13. Meals are done apart from watching TV, reading a book and other related activities.

14. Follow a meal schedule – you should eat at the same time every day.

It is important to chew all foods well and for a long time, this way a prolonged feeling of fullness will come more quickly.

How to switch to PP?

It is impossible to radically change your diet 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 good diet requires preparation.If the PP diet is accompanied by a constant feeling of hunger, and thoughts about forbidden delights do not allow you to live normally, this means that the transition to diet food was incorrect or was 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, you should gradually change your diet and reduce the volume of portions.During the preparation period, you can still eat fried meat and potatoes, but their quantity on the plate should not exceed the surface of your palm.
2. During the preparation period, it is not the products themselves that must be modified, but the methods of their preparation.If potatoes are constantly eaten fried, you need to steam, bake or boil the tubers.The same should be done with other products: do not fry the fish, but bake it in the oven;do not cook the meat until crispy, processing it in vegetable oil, but let it simmer.
3. Sauces can and should be used;they improve the taste of dishes.But dressings should be prepared independently, without adding a large amount of spicy spices and herbs that whet the appetite.

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

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.
