At 22, I weighed 69 kg, ate before bed, dined with a double portion, bought a scale and was stunned. I realized that something needed to be changed. At that time, they did not talk so much about proper nutrition, so I was guided by simple principles: I did not eat flour, fried, sweet, drank more water, did not eat at night, excluded alcohol. At the same time, I did not go in for sports. After a month, I lost 5 kg. In about 5 months, it took 17 kg, I continued to limit myself in food, but it became boring: I achieved the result, I realized that making proper nutrition a way of life is the lot of girls who are prone to overweight.
Don't overeat
It doesn't matter if you eat dessert with the right flour or not, know your measure. If your goal is to lose weight, then eat carbs only until 4:00 pm. Especially if you need a quick result.
Develop your power plan
Many nutritionists advise eating small meals every 3-4 hours, but if you don't feel like it, don't force yourself. I usually eat 4 times a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack.
Drink water
I drink 1.5-2 liters. Calculate your portion yourself: 30 ml per 1 kg of body weight.
Have dinner 3 hours before bed
For dinner I have meals rich in protein and fiber: vegetable salad with fish or chicken. I eat vegetables 2 times a day. It is important to fill your plate 50% with them so you will not overeat.
Cheat meal is not a tragedy
Don't beat yourself up for cheat meals. If on Sunday at dinner with friends I allowed myself "forbidden", then on Monday I will not suffer because of this. The main thing is not to break down afterwards and continue to eat right.
PP is delicious
For breakfast I eat oatmeal with fruits, nuts, yogurt. For lunch - buckwheat with egg, vegetable salad, baked chicken rolls. For dinner, I eat a vegetable salad with olive oil, fish or chicken every day. Snacks are fruits, nuts, yogurt.
Don't be afraid of healthy fats
Often, girls stop their periods while losing weight - the rejection of healthy fats may be one of the reasons. For breakfast, I always eat bread with my favorite types of cheese.
Coconut oil
Before, I didn't even think that you can cook with coconut oil. It is high in saturated fat and is easily absorbed into energy.
Choose simple recipes
My young man does not perceive PP, but our main dishes in the form of fish or chicken often coincide - many people already eat useful food without knowing it.
Many recipes can be adapted for PP
In desserts, I replace wheat flour without fiber with whole grain. Instead of a salad dressing with mayonnaise, I make a sauce with cottage cheese, yogurt and mustard - you won't feel the difference!
