All “miraculous” diets are fraught with not only changes in the usual way of life, but also threaten health. Before you go on a trendy diet again, try to evaluate it objectively.
For a start consult a doctor: This may not sound very inspiring, but it will help you avoid a lot of wrong steps.
And don’t count on drastic changes… Does the diet promise that you will lose two or three kilograms in a week? But you don’t need that! When a person loses weight quickly, the metabolism in his body usually slows down and weight loss stops very soon. And then, with the return of the usual diet (after all, it is impossible to go on a diet all your life), weight is gaining just as quickly. The smartest take your time and shed 500 g per week… Oddly enough, this is not difficult at all.
Ideally, the diet should be adapted to the specific case: after all, it is about your unique body, your habits and tastes, and finally, your daily routine. Therefore, do not be surprised if the tips that helped your friend or neighbor turn out to be useless for you. Passion for exotic “systems” like the grapefruit or pineapple diet, “fat-breaking” teas or capsules with extracts from Asian or African plants will also not lead to anything good.
What to do? To start put things in order in your kitchen and in your head… Food should be varied, tasty and enjoyable. Here is a variant of a weekly meal plan. It contains all the vitamins and minerals needed for health and is low in fat. The only limitation is salt, which is no more than 6 g every day, that is, as much as is contained in the products themselves, and not a gram more.
