You should not overeat late in the evenings, so as not to cause harm to your figure and health. Everyone has heard about this principle of nutrition, even those who have never thought about diets. Should we take this rule literally and torture ourselves with hunger in the evenings? Agree, it is very difficult to refuse a late dinner after a busy day at work or an intense workout. gym. Of course, you don’t need to limit yourself too much; it’s enough to just choose the right foods for your evening meal. Since the body tries to convert food eaten at night into fat, it is better to choose for dinner. Such a dinner will help satisfy your hunger without harming your figure or digestion.
Is it possible to have dinner after six?
The established opinion that you cannot eat after 6 o’clock is erroneous. Modern nutritionists do not believe that such a diet will actually benefit the body. If you need to slightly correct your figure by losing a few kilograms, we are not talking about giving up dinner. This method can give results in cases of severe obesity, but only on initial stages diets. And then, most often, a plateau effect occurs, when the weight stubbornly stays at one level. Therefore, you need to approach your own metabolism more thoughtfully.
If you start skipping evening meals, your body will go without food for 13 hours or more. Such long periods of fasting will not bring benefits, but, on the contrary, can severely disrupt the metabolism. Remaining without nutrients for a long time, the body begins to intensively store them for later. After 10 hours of fasting, a special enzyme begins to work - lipoprotein lipase, which is responsible for the accumulation of fats. It remains active for about a day, sending amino acids to fat tissue. Therefore, people who fast in the evenings often get a completely different effect than they expected.
This is why modern nutritionists do not recommend giving up dinner altogether. In their opinion, perfect time for the last meal - approximately 4 hours before bedtime. And at the same time, of course, you need to carefully select products, giving preference to healthy, low-calorie dishes.
What foods are suitable for dinner?
As you know, our digestive system digests food at different speeds. Some foods are absorbed very quickly, while the body takes a long time to process others. The choice of food for dinner will depend on this. And to completely clarify the situation, we will answer the most common questions from people watching their figure:
Is cottage cheese suitable for a late dinner?
Yes, this product, rich in amino acids and casein, can be eaten regularly for dinner, but in small portions and no later than two hours before a night's rest. However, it should not be fatty - try to buy low-fat cottage cheese or a product with low fat content (less than 8%).
Is it possible to snack on fruits and berries late at night?
It is impossible to answer this question unambiguously, because different types fruits have different caloric content. Some fruits are so high in calories that it is better to exclude them from the diet altogether.
- Apple. This tasty and healthy product has a low energy value - less than 50 calories. Therefore, it will not harm the figure. Note that for an evening snack it is better to choose non-acidic varieties. And one more important point– apples contain a lot of pectin, which helps improve complexion.
- Citruses. They are one of the most popular snacks for losing weight. And this is not surprising, because... Grapefruits and oranges have many beneficial qualities. They are low-calorie (less than 40 calories), accelerate the process of food absorption, and promote the breakdown of fatty tissue. But, unfortunately, not everyone can eat citrus fruits. Due to their ability to increase stomach acidity, they are not recommended for people suffering from peptic ulcers or gastritis. This is especially true for lemon. If you eat it in the evening, your stomach acidity will rise and, in addition, you may have a strong appetite.
- Mango. It does not irritate the mucous membranes of the digestive organs and is therefore ideal for a light evening snack.
- A pineapple. Removes unnecessary substances from the body and promotes fat burning. But it is advisable to eat it in small quantities, as it increases acidity and appetite.
- Banana. People on diets try to avoid it due to its rather high calorie content. But if you want to eat, it will be an excellent snack, as it satisfies hunger for a long time.
- Figs Contains many useful substances, reduces appetite and provides a long-lasting feeling of satiety. It is better to eat it fresh, since dried fruits are high in calories.
Snack on fruit slowly. Cut them into pieces and chew each slice thoroughly. Such light dinners can be arranged about an hour before the night's rest.
In addition, before bedtime you can safely consume different kinds berries Eat strawberries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries, and blackberries in the evenings. They are low in calories and cope well with hunger.
- Cauliflower.
- Broccoli.
- Carrot.
- Salad.
- Avocado.
- Spinach.
- Pumpkin (preferably juice or seeds).
If possible, try to eat vegetables fresh - after cooking, the calorie content of vegetables increases. It is better to avoid fried vegetables altogether.
Is a hearty dinner allowed?
Fruits and fresh vegetables cannot always provide a feeling of fullness, and you don’t want to walk around with an empty stomach in the evening. For such cases, you need to choose nourishing foods with low calorie content, for example:
- Light lean meats (turkey, chicken).
- Rice or buckwheat porridge.
- Fish (pollock, tuna and other low-fat species).
- Soy cheese.
- Yogurt (only natural unsweetened, no additives).
- Ryazhenka, kefir, milk (low-fat).
- Walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds (their calorie content is higher than other products on the list, so you need to eat them little by little).
Interesting fact! Oddly enough, it is better to snack on carbohydrate foods before bed, because such food is digested faster. If you want protein foods, choose light dishes (which take no more than an hour and a half to digest).
What can you drink in the evening?
In the evening before going to bed, it is better to give preference to warm drinks. They suppress appetite and calm nervous system. Most suitable for this purpose:
- Boiled milk with a small amount of honey.
- Warmed water with lemon.
- Green tea (no sugar)
You are also allowed to drink a glass of tomato juice in the evening.
Rules for combining foods for dinner
In order for the diet to bring the expected effect, it is important not only to give up high-calorie foods in the evenings, but also to be able to correctly combine permitted foods. This will help regulate your metabolism and greatly speed up the weight loss process. As an example, here are some useful combinations:
- Lean meat (or fish) with lemon. Nutritionists have found that this combination increases the synthesis of hormones responsible for the breakdown of fats. Therefore, chicken in lemon juice is a hearty, tasty and very healthy dinner for the body. But you need to add lemon in moderation so as not to irritate the gastric mucosa.
- Low-fat cottage cheese with kefir. This light dish provides long-lasting satiety and does not harm your figure at all.
- Vegetables with cereals. They perfectly satisfy hunger and saturate the body with nutrients. Yes, you will receive good dinner, if you cook buckwheat and garnish it with lettuce leaves.
Helpful advice! If you like hard cheeses, try to combine them with vegetables. One of best options there will be cheese and broccoli.
Unfavorable combinations include:
- Acidic foods and foods rich in starch. By sour foods we mean some fruits and vegetables (citrus fruits, tomatoes, pineapples).
- Milk with any other products (it is better to drink it separately). The same rule applies to fruits. It is advisable to eat them as an independent dish half an hour before eating another meal or half an hour later. But combining fruit juices with other products is quite acceptable.
- Proteins plus carbohydrates. Such combinations of foods are difficult to digest, causing bloating and increased gas production.
- Protein foods and fermented milk products. It is not recommended to combine these foods at one time.
What foods should you avoid in the evening?
We answered the question of what you can eat in the evenings to lose weight. These are lean protein foods, fruits and vegetables. Now let's say a few words about food products that are extremely undesirable to eat for dinner. The fact is that some types of food are difficult to digest and remain in the body all night. As a result, a person wakes up sluggish and unrested. It gets worse, and the extra pounds gradually pile on. Therefore, in the evening you should never eat the following foods:
- Pizza, hot dogs, burgers and other fast food, as well as all types of snacks (crackers, chips, etc.). Such dishes are high in calories, but do not saturate the body with nutrients. Therefore, you should not eat them for dinner. Better yet, avoid such food altogether.
- Fat meat. Dishes prepared from it take a very long time to digest, which interferes with healthy sleep and promotes weight gain.
- Baking, pasta. They give a good boost of energy, so they are best consumed for breakfast or lunch. In the evening they will not bring any benefit, but they can lead to the formation of fatty deposits.
- Desserts including chocolate. Simple carbohydrates are quickly digested and transformed into fats. Sugary treats for dinner are the shortest path to obesity.
- Dried fruits. Nutritionists classify them as healthy products; they contain many valuable substances, give a feeling of satiety and charge the body with energy. But it is better to consume them in the morning or at lunchtime, since they are high in calories.
- Yogurt with additives. Many people love store-bought yoghurts with sugar and fruit flavors. But such products will not bring any health benefits. It is better to take regular kefir and add some fresh berries or fruits to the glass.
- Sweet soda. Everyone knows about the dangers of such drinks. It is advisable to avoid them completely, and not just in the evenings.
- Alcohol. Alcohol increases appetite. And if you decide not to overeat at night, you shouldn’t even drink low-alcohol drinks. In addition, alcohol can cause problems sleeping and swelling of the face after waking up.
So, in the fight for a beautiful figure, it is not at all necessary to starve yourself in the evenings. As you have already seen, the list of permitted products is quite diverse. Learn to combine them correctly, enjoy delicious dinners and lose weight without experiencing discomfort.
Eating anything and as much as you want and staying in good physical shape is something that not only women, but also men now dream about. Physical inactivity has gotten to everyone, and the daily routine “home-car-office-car-home”, with periodic visits to supermarkets, does not add slimness to anyone. Excess weight has become a serious problem for people of all ages, but while many still manage to achieve a slim figure, it is already more difficult to maintain the desired achievements for a long time.
You can often hear: “the weight is back”, “it’s even heavier than before the diet”, “I won’t go on diets - it doesn’t help”, and other similar reviews that do not add enthusiasm.
It is important to eat a balanced diet
At the same time, few remember the undoubted benefits of a balanced diet: people think that proper nutrition is a boring and tasteless diet that brings neither pleasure nor joy.
What should you eat to avoid gaining weight? If the question is not rhetorical, the answer is not difficult to find. Normal weight is full physical health, and its basis is proper nutrition: our health depends on it by 70-85%.
But there are many people trying by all means to hold on to their eating habits. When it comes to a healthy diet, they talk about special literature, calorie counting, the “cult of food,” weighing portions, a strict diet, and, in the end, they say: “there is no time for such excesses.”
In fact, eating right to avoid gaining weight is not such a problem. Anyone can “create” a balanced diet for themselves: just remember the “food pyramid” developed by nutritionists.
The right foods for a slim figure
Plant foods at the head of the table
At the top of the list of foods to avoid gaining weight is plant food: grains, vegetables and fruits. Cereal products are breads and baked goods not made from white flour, but from whole grain flour. It preserves everything that nature provides for the growth and development of cereals: wheat, rye, barley, corn, oats, etc. This also includes porridge from whole grains - buckwheat, oatmeal, millet - and pasta made from whole grain flour. Cereals are rich in complex carbohydrates, from which the body takes energy.
The best breakfast to stay healthy
A simple and healthy breakfast is made from millet and prunes. First, prunes are boiled, and then, using the resulting broth, viscous millet porridge is prepared, adding salt and sugar to taste. The porridge is mixed with boiled prunes and oil (unrefined vegetable oil) in bowls. This breakfast, in addition to complex carbohydrates, contains vitamins, minerals, fiber, vegetable protein and PUFAs. If you do not add sugar, but add 1-2 tsp to the finished porridge. honey, the taste will not deteriorate, but there will be more benefits.
Be sure to eat fruits and berries!
Fruits and berries are also considered ideal foods for slimness and a healthy weight. In order not to gain weight, you can and should eat them throughout the day, 2-4 servings. Perfectly eliminated excess weight and citrus fruits prevent fat deposits from gaining weight and accumulating: lemons and oranges can be used instead of digestive enzymes after festive feasts and visits, from which “you can’t escape.”
Products such as apples and pears should be included in the diet of those who do not want to gain weight at any time of the year; Fortunately, for us these fruits are not exotic, and you can always buy them. Apples do not allow fat to accumulate and are rich in pectin, a polysaccharide that removes “all kinds of garbage” from the body; Pears have the same effect, and they contain even more pectin.
In order not to gain weight, you definitely need to eat our local berries: raspberries, strawberries, currants, etc. - they are good both fresh and frozen - their usefulness does not decrease. Watermelon is a melon crop, but also a berry: you can eat it in unlimited quantities at any time of the year. You should learn how to choose watermelons: fruits stuffed to the brim with pesticides and nitrates will only add to health problems.
Vegetables and fresh herbs are ideal products
If you want to always stay slim and not gain weight, make friends with vegetables and fresh herbs. And cabbage of any kind can play the main role - of course, if you love and respect this healthy, valuable and very affordable food product. Based on any cabbage - white or red, cauliflower, broccoli, Savoy, Brussels sprouts, etc., you can prepare many delicious dishes. Cabbage also satisfies perfectly, and in this regard it has no equal among vegetables: it is more difficult to eat enough of carrots, beets and even zucchini, and a bowl of thick cabbage soup allows you to eliminate the feeling of hunger for several hours. Fiber, contained in abundance in cabbage, not only effectively cleanses the intestines of “heavy accumulations”, but also facilitates the digestion of food, helps nutrients be better absorbed - this also helps maintain normal weight. If in winter you often eat stewed cabbage (sauerkraut tastes better) with prunes and cranberries for lunch or dinner, weight problems are unlikely to bother you.
It is worth mentioning seaweed, although it is not a vegetable, but a seafood: the compounds it contains help the thyroid gland work, and the metabolism remains normal.
How to eat vegetables correctly so as not to gain weight? You can eat vegetables every day, without restrictions, but do not “cram” huge portions into yourself: you can get indigestion, bloating and flatulence, and “discourage” weight loss for a long time. But simple salads made from raw carrots and beets for breakfast and lunch will help improve digestion and cleanse the intestines in a timely manner.
It is not always easy to buy fresh herbs - in winter, limp bouquets from supermarkets are of little use. But you can freeze greens for the winter in the same way as summer berries.
Legumes also help keep your waist thin and your stomach flat. In addition to protein, they contain a lot of phytoestrogens, which modern women need for an even and healthy hormonal balance: the beauty of the female figure is directly related to this.
Fermented milk products protect your figure
One of the main places on the list of necessary products in order not to gain weight is occupied by fermented milk products. Without them, it is difficult to create a balanced diet: they are easily digestible protein and live bacteria that form healthy intestinal flora. A glass of kefir every evening - and everything we ate during the day is digested and absorbed, but it’s better to forget about heavy food, if you are wondering “how not to gain weight”.
Without proteins you can't go anywhere
Regular consumption of cottage cheese helps to lose weight and not gain weight, and especially with parsley, celery, lettuce, and dill. Soft cottage cheese is slightly salted and mixed with chopped herbs.
For proper nutrition proteins are needed. Egg proteins are even easier to digest than milk proteins, and athletes know this well - in particular, weightlifters who need protein to “pump up” their muscles.
Don't forget about meat and fish proteins: with them, your diet will be complete and your weight will be healthy. Buy lean beef (you can even use young pork), veal, rabbit and poultry meat, and fatty sea fish, rich in PUFAs necessary to maintain a slim figure. By consuming animal proteins in the right combinations (with plenty of vegetables and herbs), you can get rid of excess fat and increase muscle mass - this will tighten your figure.
The power of the word "get better"
A little about the “power of words”. Most people who lament being overweight forget that the word “get better” in Russian has more positive meanings: for example, “to recover from an illness” or “to correct a mistake.” This cannot but affect perception: it turns out that the subconscious perceives the concept of “getting better” as a desire for normality, and the body after a diet strives for its previous indicators. Perhaps it’s better for us to talk and think not “how not to gain weight”, but “how to maintain a figure”?
There are foods that you can eat as much as you like, even if you are seriously concerned about a slim figure - they are rich in fiber and low in calories. This means they saturate and improve digestion without the risk of growing sides.
We present a list of such products. Please note that we are not saying that you should only eat these foods. Naturally, our diet should be balanced and include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. But these products can fill you up and keep you slim without much effort.
Celery
Celery stalks are 95% water. It helps to lose excess weight and detoxify the body due to its diuretic effect.
Eggplant
You can enjoy baked eggplant with its incomparable taste as much as you like without a twinge of conscience. After all, a serving of eggplant baked on the grill without oil contains only 24 kcal.
Watermelon and melon
Only 60–70 kcal per slice (melon has a little more) - you can eat them all day long. Watermelons and melons help remove excess fluid from the body and saturate well.
Seaweed
Seaweed (kelp and others) is a rich source of iodine, which helps to establish proper functioning of the thyroid gland, which means that hormonal levels will be in order and weight will remain normal.
Zucchini
A serving of zucchini squash contains only 42 kcal. They normalize the water-salt balance in the body, and this is the most important factor for those who want to lose weight. Zucchini improves intestinal motility, as it contains a lot of fiber and liquid. In addition, with the help of zucchini you can reduce the calorie content of main courses.
cucumbers
An indispensable vegetable for those who are planning to lose weight - it helps fight swelling and lose weight with health benefits.
Beet
Beets are an excellent source of microelements, in particular manganese, which promotes fat burning, helps muscles work, and regulates blood sugar levels. You can simply bake it, put it in salads raw and boiled, and in juices. An average serving contains only 40 kcal.
Eggs
You can eat them at any time of the day, even at night, if you’re hungry, and you won’t gain an ounce. Of course, boiled is better than fried.
A pineapple
This delicious fruit is a true friend of those who want to lose weight. The bromelain it contains actively breaks down fats and helps digest proteins.
Apples and plums
One apple contains only 50 kcal, it gives a feeling of fullness and regulates intestinal function. And plums are rich in vitamin C, as well as potassium, which supports the health of the heart and blood vessels.
Arugula and salad
Lettuce and arugula are excellent sources of folic acid that can be eaten by the kilo. One lettuce leaf contains only 3 kcal.
Berries: currants, cranberries, strawberries
The large amount of vitamin C in currants and cranberries helps the body burn fat. Currants also have a diuretic property, which means they help get rid of excess water in the body, which allows you to forget about swelling and extra centimeters at the waist. Strawberries have excellent nutritional properties, improve digestion and keep the heart and blood vessels healthy.
Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower
Cabbage of all varieties and types is an ally of slim women. A serving of chopped cabbage contains only 7 kcal, and at the same time you can prepare many dishes from it: soups, salads, main courses, add to juice mixtures and smoothies. Of course, you shouldn’t, for example, rely only on cabbage and eat it 3 times a day, because the substances it contains compete with iodine for absorption. And we need it for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. But you can include it in the menu several times a week.
Vegetables and greens
If a woman wants to stay slim and stay slim for many years, then when buying groceries in the supermarket, she will certainly put cabbage in her basket, and it doesn’t matter what kind it is: cauliflower, purple, Chinese, broccoli, white cabbage or any other. All cabbage is very healthy and contains a lot of essential amino acids, microelements, and vitamins. Cabbage is a source of vitamins A, C, E, K, PP, U, B vitamins. And also: fluorine, manganese, zinc, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, trace elements, calcium.
Cabbage fiber cleanses the intestines of toxins, normalizes the absorption of nutrients, and improves digestion. It seems to sweep away everything unnecessary from the gastrointestinal tract.
Antioxidant complexes in cabbage improve immunity. Cauliflower contains substances that prevent the formation of cancer cells or slow down their growth. And white cabbage sauerkraut with cranberries, and stewed with prunes can easily be called an elixir of harmony.
Seaweed takes pride of place; it is rich in iodine, which “feeds” thyroid gland, thus normalizing the body’s hormonal metabolism. With a lack of thyroid hormones, mental retardation, swelling, obesity develop, and there is no time for beauty.
Carrots and beets will help in the fight for slimness. Salads made from them need to be seasoned with olive or sunflower oil, otherwise the vitamins of these vegetables will not be absorbed by the body.
Radishes are rich in microelements; they contain salicylic and nicotinic acids. The bitterness it contains stimulates the production of bile, which prevents food from stagnating, and normalizes digestion. It is bile acids that play a major role in fat metabolism. Coarse fiber enhances peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract.
Greens, dill, parsley, spinach, lettuce - they just “ask to be in the basket.” These are low-calorie plants (up to 130 calories per kilogram of greens). Rich in vitamins A, B, C, K, folic acid and microelements. And also fluorine, calcium, sodium, phosphorus, zinc, potassium, magnesium.
Essential oils of parsley and dill will lift your tone and mood, and a salad of various greens, seasoned with apple cider vinegar and olive oil, will cope well with spring hypovitaminosis and will be an excellent dish for those who do not want to gain weight.
Berries and fruits
The first place can be given to citrus fruits: grapefruits, tangerines, lemons, oranges. They remove excess weight due to the fact that they contain enzyme substances that burn fats and speed up digestive processes.
Citrus fruits are rich in vitamins C, A, group B, contain fiber, pectin, magnesium, potassium, calcium, folic acid, therefore they are good for the prevention of atherosclerosis and for maintaining cardiac activity. After hearty feasts, the Mezima tablet can be replaced with several slices of orange or lemon.
When losing weight, you can't do without apples. This is the most common and cheapest fruit in our region. A woman who wants to always be in shape will certainly include apples in her diet, because they normalize fat metabolism, break down harmful fats (cholesterol), thus increasing the percentage of healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Pears can be safely added to apples; they are juicy and tasty, rich in pectin. However, it should be remembered that pears have an astringent effect.
Berries promote weight loss - these are natural multivitamin complexes. Blackberries, wild strawberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, currants - these berries rid the body of fats due to their high vitamin C content. Both fresh and frozen berries are useful.
The largest berry is watermelon, it washes the kidneys and ureters, removes toxins. The effect of watermelon will increase if you eat it with rye bread.
Meat and fish
A diet cannot be complete without protein products. Proteins of animal origin are more complete and easier to digest by the body than plant proteins.
Therefore, a woman who wants to always remain slim and does not want to gain weight needs to add poultry, rabbit meat, veal and lean beef to her grocery basket.
Chicken eggs are a source of animal proteins; they are included in weight loss diets. Egg yolk is rich in vitamin A and microelements that are actively involved in the breakdown of fats.
Fish is an indispensable product for maintaining slimness. Sea fish replenishes the body with polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are essential, since human tissues cannot synthesize them.
These acids are called Omega-3, they are combined into the group of “vitamins F”. Fatty acids play an important role in the body's metabolism, including being solvents for vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamins, in turn, are part of enzymes that break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Sea fish is a source of microelements, especially calcium, phosphorus, and iodine.
If you consume protein foods without excess, this will help reduce fat deposits and build muscle mass.
Dairy products
Slender beauties cannot do without fermented milk products. Fermented milk products are rich in B vitamins, they are able to remove intestinal toxins, and contain beneficial bacteria.
Cottage cheese contains protein, which is easily absorbed by the body, sulfur, phosphorus, calcium, so it saturates the body for a long time.
An excellent dish for weight loss is cottage cheese with fresh herbs: add a little salt to the cottage cheese, add a little sugar, and prepare the curd mass in a mixer. Finely chop the greens - parsley, dill, spinach, lettuce. Mix the curd mass with herbs and place in a heap on a dish, garnish with green salad leaves.
Normal weight, health, and immunity largely depend on the state of the intestinal microflora. Therefore, every night at night you need to drink a glass of kefir, which will immediately solve several problems.
Tea
Green tea is an excellent drink for weight loss. It fills the body with microelements, burns fat and is a strong antioxidant, that is, it binds and removes free radicals, which can cause the formation of cancerous tumors.
You need to know that green tea should not be drunk immediately after a meal; it greatly relaxes the stomach and reduces its peristalsis: food is poorly digested and stagnates. It is best to drink tea between meals or at least half an hour after meals.
Diet for fast weight loss
1 Week. Eat every 4 hours, alternating 3 oranges and 3 boiled eggs, for example,
08.00 - 3 oranges;
12.00 - 3 boiled eggs;
16.00 - 3 oranges;
20.00 - 3 boiled eggs.
Drink green tea between meals.
Week 2. Every 4 hours eat oatmeal or buckwheat porridge. Drink green tea between meals.
Week 3. Eat fruits and vegetables every 4 hours and drink green tea in between.
4th week. Go to the regular menu, but eat half the servings of your usual norm. And, of course, green tea! If you stick to the diet, the effect will be amazing!
Legumes and cereals
From cereals we choose oatmeal and buckwheat.
Buckwheat contains 11% protein, which is more than other cereals. It is filling and you can “sit” on it for several days.
The diet of the graceful actress Olga Sumskaya consists of buckwheat porridge (without butter, sugar, salt) and green tea for 2 or 3 days. It helps her maintain her desired weight. Singer Natasha Koroleva, famous for her beautiful figure, chooses buckwheat porridge for fasting days.
Oatmeal contains a lot of vitamin E, which is responsible for reproduction and youth.
Oatmeal, cooked in water, acts as a natural sorbent and envelops the gastric mucosa.
Legumes (soybeans, beans, peas) contain phytoestrogens, substances that are similar in structure to female sex hormones. Legumes are also a source of plant protein.
They are satisfying and maintain a woman’s hormonal levels in a normal state. And hormones, in turn, will take care of the slimness of the female figure and beauty. It has been noticed that lovers of beans and green peas have thin waists and flat stomachs.
Oils and spices
All the products necessary to maintain grace and harmony have been selected, what will we season the food with? Of course, herbs and spices.
Cinnamon, cilantro, tarragon, sage, ginger, mint, rosemary, thyme, basil, Bay leaf, black and red pepper will improve metabolism in the body and give even the simplest dishes aroma and exquisite taste.
Mustard and horseradish effectively cleanse blood vessels of cholesterol and increase blood circulation; garlic has the same properties.
And onions are also an aphrodisiac - they enhance sexual performance and libido. The recipe for onion soup belongs to the French, who cannot imagine their lives without love.
Food seasoned with herbs and spices needs a good seasoning. Preference should be given to olive oil. Its value cannot be overestimated both for weight loss and for a balanced diet. Olives and olive oil, as experts have found, promote weight loss, reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, and normalize the content of salts and fats in the body.
Now we know what foods we need to eat to avoid gaining weight. These products are quite suitable for a balanced diet for the whole family and for keeping you slim. No one will go hungry with such a selection of products. Don't believe the cliched phrase that a woman can be either smart or beautiful. Usually, beautiful women smart, because to remain slim and beautiful at any age, you need willpower, discipline, knowledge and skills.
We want to allow ourselves everything: buns, cakes, sweets, and pancakes with condensed milk. But how can you avoid gaining weight after this? After all, all our favorite treats are easily digestible carbohydrates that quickly penetrate our body and turn into fat or excess weight. So how do you stay slim and what should you eat to avoid getting fat? We have an answer to this question.
Firstly, there should be no restrictions regarding the food consumed.
You can absolutely eat ALL whatever you wish.
I eat everything anyway, but I’m gaining weight. Why?
Because don't watch your portions, eat late at night. Of course, you want to come home after a hard day at work, collapse on the sofa and get away from all your problems, grabbing a bucket of ice cream and a spoon. But things won't work that way.
What is the correct way then?
The best decision would be to consume all our unhealthy treats in the first half of the day. In the morning with tea, you can indulge in a piece of cake or your favorite cookie without any worries about your figure. But for dinner it’s better to limit yourself to baked fish with vegetable salad, chicken breast or boiled eggs. And then nothing will threaten your figure. This is exactly how you need to eat to lose weight, maintain your figure and not be afraid to gain weight.
How many times a day and how to eat so as not to gain weight?
The optimal number of meals is 5. These are breakfast, snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. By switching to five meals a day, hunger will no longer constantly remind you of itself, and you can forget about the constant rumbling in your stomach. Let us remind you that in the first half of the day we can allow ourselves any delicacies, and after lunch we will have to monitor our diet.
When should your last meal be?
There is no “eat before six.” Forget it! If you go to bed at 12, then within 6 hours your body will simply go crazy if you leave it without any food. The last meal should be taken 3-4 hours before bedtime, that is, if you go to bed at 10, then it would really be worth making dinner at 6-7 o’clock, and if at 11, then it would be just right to have dinner at 8.
Let’s summarize our question “how to eat properly so as not to gain weight.”
1. You can eat anything
2. You can afford junk food for breakfast.
3. Introducing five meals a day
4. Eat in small portions
5. The last meal should be 3-4 hours before bedtime
That's all!
P.S. And, of course, no one canceled sports
Be healthy and beautiful!
