One of the rules of most diets – not to overeat – is fundamental to the “5 tablespoon” system. Sitting on it, you can eat everything, but in small doses. And, as practice shows, adhering to it, you can significantly lose weight.
Answers to the question “how to lose weight” have been looking for doctors, nutritionists, and just people who are overweight for many decades. And they find it. Currently, you can lose weight by resorting to a variety of diets, which, undoubtedly, bring results. But gradually, one has only to change the diet, the kilograms, albeit not at the same rate, return to their place again. However, American nutritionists have come to the conclusion that it is not necessary to limit oneself in food: it is enough to simply reduce the amount of food consumed. That is, you can eat everything as before, but in smaller doses. For example, experts believe that five tablespoons at one meal of any food, be it meat, side dish, sweets, is enough to provide the body with the necessary energy and satisfy the feeling of hunger. Gradually, the stomach will begin to shrink, which means that the feeling of fullness will come faster. Thus, you will avoid overeating, which to a greater extent provokes extra pounds, and tidy up your figure.
In the 80s of the twentieth century in America it was fashionable to eat in small portions, for which the stars of the catwalk, stage and cinema, in order to lose weight, often used children’s dishes
It is no coincidence that the diet got its name: nutritionists calculated that the total volume of five tablespoons is equal to 100-150 grams. This amount of food is enough to not feel hunger, normalize the digestion process and start the process of losing weight. It is noteworthy that with this diet you do not need to limit yourself in anything. Eat everything as before. Just cut back on the amount of food you eat. Your serving for breakfast, lunch and dinner should not exceed five tablespoons. It is noteworthy that this diet does not limit the number of meals. For example, you can eat every three hours, but keep the same rule of five spoons.
One tablespoon contains about 25 g of loose substance and 20 g of solid. The spoon should be without a “slide”
If you eat high-calorie foods, you can reduce the number of meals to three per day. Light food lovers can eat more often. As a rule, the number of meals for each person is individual. But if you are a lover of fatty foods, the weight will go much longer than those who monitor their diet and select the “right” foods. Eat vegetables, fruits, steam food (it is much healthier) and be sure to count the spoons sent to your mouth.
This diet is very easy to follow.
The main thing is to remember the basic rules:
- eat small meals
- it is not necessary to reduce the number of meals, in this case you can eat when you want, but not earlier than three hours after the last meal
The amount of liquid drunk during the day does not need to be reduced: if you are thirsty, drink
- try to drink less sugary drinks, although you should not completely eliminate sugar from the diet
- products can be any
- take your time while eating, chew food thoroughly
A very effective diet that really helps.
