You have taken advantage of the holidays to loosen up a little on the run and the plate and you have decided to find your way back to fitness and your healthy weight. Perfect, we have prepared some articles that will help you.
After nutrition, the top 5 foods, and 3 “weight loss” supplements, here is an example of a food program to resume good eating habits and regain your healthy weight.
As epidemiological surveys show, people who are very slightly overweight are certainly too often sedentary, but above all underestimate their fat consumption.
It constitutes 41% of the daily intake instead of the recommended 30%, without even realizing it. For each gram of fat consumed, whether vegetable or animal, it is 9 calories gained.
It is therefore imperative to limit so-called fatty foods (fatty meats such as lamb and pork, sauces, aperitif biscuits, pastries, puff pastries, excess “added” fat, fried foods, excess cheeses…), but also to select the cooking methods.
To make dishes less bland, it is imperative to know how to accommodate them by adding herbs (thyme, chives, tarragon, etc.), spices (curry, peppercorns, paprika, etc.), herbs (shallot, garlic, onion, etc.) , “light sauces” (based on tomatoes, small vegetables, dairy products, lemon, alcohol cooked like wine, etc.)
