How to lose weight after the New Year? This issue must be approached wisely so as not to harm yourself. And it is very, very simple to harm, since our body in the cold season is not inclined to part with the pounds we have eaten. Because there is nothing worse from the point of view of a healthy body than being left in a terrible frost without subcutaneous fat. After all, he doesn’t know that you have a heated seat in your car, it’s hot in your office, and it’s just Africa in your apartment! He remembers at the level of genetic memory that a terrible cold winter has come, and at this time every gram is worth its weight in gold.
Are you serious about losing the extra pounds you gained during the winter break? Find out which diet is right for you and put together the right menu.
And for starters, we can offer you a not very stressful diet. You need to start with breakfast: you need to eat breakfast yourself, as you know, while at breakfast it is better to allow yourself more than less. Ideally, if the calorie content of your breakfast is about 400 kcal. This can be accomplished in several pleasant ways.
1. Try making yourself a whole grain bread with ricotta, honey and white grapes for breakfast instead of your regular cheese sandwich. A couple of these sandwiches will energize you, which you can easily hold on until lunchtime. Spread honey on a slice of whole grain bread, put a tablespoon of ricotta on top, and even above – a couple of seedless white grapes.
2. Make bran croutons. It must be cut into pieces and dipped in a mixture of eggs and milk, slightly salting before that. Then fry the bread in a frying pan – breakfast is ready!
3. Buckwheat with yogurt. Brew buckwheat in a thermos overnight. In the morning, all that remains is to pour it over with yogurt with your favorite taste and put it on a plate.
4. Kejeri – English breakfast. In the evening, boil rice, a couple of eggs and stew the smoked fish in milk with bay leaves. Fry the onions until soft (this can be done in the morning). As soon as the onion is ready, you need to add spices – cumin, turmeric and mustard grains, and then literally a minute later add boiled rice, chopped eggs and fish. Sprinkle everything with chopped parsley.
5. Sandwich with tomatoes and mozzarella, or morning pizza. Unlike regular pizza, there is no fried crust or unhealthy fats in the morning pizza. Benefits alone, evenly distributed over whole grain bread. Take a couple of slices of whole grain bread, cut the tomato and mozzarella into circles, lay in layers: a layer of mozzarella, a layer of tomatoes, a layer of mozzarella, a layer of tomatoes, sprinkle with Parmesan on top and microwave this sandwich. A minute is enough for the parmesan to melt and the tomatoes and mozzarella to warm up. Next, put the entire structure on a plate.
The post-New Year’s diet will take about two weeks.
And remember that undersalting in the post-New Year situation is much better than vice versa. Because alcohol already retains fluid in the body, and you were sure that you had an excess of salinity on the table, so now give your kidneys a rest – salt to a minimum.
For lunch, make yourself white chicken meat, for example, grilled (and if there is no grill at home, then just boil it), add vegetables (you can stew vegetables with chicken), the main thing is not to add a lot of fat and salt when stewing.
Give the supper to the enemy? Well, no, you need to refresh yourself at dinner! Otherwise, hunger will attack at night, which, as you know, is not an aunt. But dinner should be made as light as possible.
The fact is simply important that yes, they sat down at the table, drank tea, ate something. And what exactly was on your plate is not so important. You can drink yogurt, but just sitting at the table, where you usually eat. You can eat 100 grams of low-fat cottage cheese mixed with pieces of fruit. It is better to choose fruits not by calorie content, but by the glycemic index: it is highest in watermelon (75), the lowest in black currant (15). The lower this index, the longer you can keep feeling full. After all, what does the glycemic index say? About how much the blood sugar level rises after consuming a particular product.
And sugar is processed by insulin, which is responsible for the feeling of fullness. That is, the more insulin it takes to process the sugar that rose after you ate a piece of watermelon, the sooner you will feel hungry. All clear? And if not, then just take my word for it. In general, as the driving instructor said, it is not necessary to know how the refrigerator works in order to use it, the same is here.
You can also cook baked fish for dinner (you need to bake in foil or a sleeve) with herbs and lemon. Only you need not bake any fish, but lean fish – cod, pike perch, burbot, hake, navaga, river trout, ice or silver hake. So, two weeks on such a simple diet, which even cannot be called a diet due to the fact that it allows you to eat everything except the excess, that is, “empty” calories, and you can stick to it at least for the rest of your life, varying and swapping foods and dishes.
