You will not have to deny yourself sweets and your favorite buns.
There are only a few days left until spring, but not until the ideal weight. And you seem to know that proper nutrition will save your waist, but you just can’t give up your favorite dishes. Is it necessary? We learned about this from nutritionist Mikhail Gavrilov.
“In the minds of a modern person, any diet is associated with a ban,” says the nutritionist. – But as soon as a favorite dish is removed from the diet, the desire to eat it turns into a fix idea. The breakdown and emptying of the refrigerator is only a matter of time. Thus, nothing but neurosis and extra pounds can be earned.
Therefore, no diets and prohibitions. Indeed, for almost every harmful product there is a useful and tasty substitute, which many do not even know about.
Use cold-pressed unrefined olive, coconut, or pumpkin seed oil instead of refined vegetable oil.
Replace white flour with whole grain, corn, amaranth or almond flour.
It is better to replace muesli and instant cereals with whole-grain oats and buckwheat.
Did you know that a small 35 ml sauce bowl with mayonnaise will add another 260 kcal to your dish? As well as various cheese, garlic sauces that are sold in stores. After all, they are all made on the basis of mayonnaise. And in the composition of ketchup, there is definitely sugar. Therefore, if you want to add flavor to the dish, replace store-bought sauces with spices and herbs.
An excellent alternative to industrial baked goods is unsalted nuts and dark chocolate, which is 70% cocoa. Buy dried fruit instead of gummies.
A healthy and dietary alternative to sugar is stevia extract.
Swap coffee for green tea with a few drops of stevia extract.
Instead of soda and packaged juices, drink water sweetened with stevia in a variety of flavors.
Often, cravings for a particular harmful product are caused by a deficiency of certain nutrients. So, the desire to eat something sweet is most often caused by a lack of chromium or alpha lipoic acid in the body. And the passion for starchy foods arises when there is a lack of nitrogen – an element that is found in proteins and vitamin B9. This deficit can be filled by adjusting the menu. In some cases, you need to additionally take supplements, which the doctor can prescribe after appropriate tests.
