How silly to write a trivial "eat vegetables" and topical "down fast food." Do not you yourself know that this is exactly what you should do? But, alas, as seen from personal experience, until a doctor prescribes everything that is allowed and everything that is forbidden, a person can not even observe the most elementary rules. So, let's start writing you a "recipe" consisting of rules for healthy eating .
Down with the refined!
Tell me, please, do you have any doubts about the benefits of white sugar? In what, and in that it is harmful and its amount is gradually but surely minimized - perhaps all nutritionists of the world agree (which is a rarity, notice). To the same category of "refined" comrades, we include:
- White rice;
- White bread;
- all that is made from the highest grade flour.
What generally means "refined", did not reflect? To refine, it means, to clean, here manufacturers and have cleared for our convenience and speed of preparation wheat, rice, sugar and other products. In our basic rules of healthy eating there is no place for "refined" simply because:
- white sugar helps increase blood glucose and cholesterol levels;
- white sugar leads to non-alcoholic obesity of the liver;
- white sugar gives a "signal" to the brain to require more and more sugar;
- all white, refined products are slow carbohydrates, that is, "empty" calories.
Fast food and convenience foods
Look at any product in the supermarket, as you suppose, where it can be the most "useful", for which it is actually worth it. They did not see it, because there is nothing there, except fat, carbohydrates (starch and soy, now add to all), and preservatives. And also there are trans fats, with which we will continue the narrative about the rules of healthy diet for weight loss.
Trans fats ...
Trans fats are a mixture of unsaturated oils and hydrogen gas. This is, in the truest sense of the word, an effervescent mixture at very high temperatures. And what happens to vegetable fat when it is strongly heated? It raises the level of cholesterol and leads us the right way to cancer. The constant consumption of trans fats is dangerous because they accumulate in the body and are not going to leave it at all. Trans fats lead to decreased sensitivity to insulin, increased levels of harmful cholesterol, diabetes, obesity , Alzheimer's disease, cancer, cardiovascular diseases and other good things.
Diets and human individualism
Now let's talk about the most topical topic (where our brains go to trans fats and sugar!) - about diets. Think for yourself: you exclude from your diet for one week everything that leads to the accumulation of excess weight, minimize the calorie content of dishes, calculate, measure, etc. You lost weight - hurray! Now the diet is over and you can live a normal life again. You have, perhaps, only two options of behavior:
- continue eating the same way as before the diet - in the end, for the first day afterwards and with blood the departed kilograms joyfully return "home";
- realize your guilt and try to live in a diet (at a caloric content of 1000 calories) for the rest of your life - your metabolism will slow down irrevocably, and soon the body will begin to save every baby in reserve, you will get better, and you will not be able to lose weight .
So what's the use of dieting? Correctly - temporary and short-term. Do not put on the diet of global hopes, for weight loss is enough, believe me, to exclude FOREVER the above products.
