Hurry up with dinner
Do not postpone it for a later time. To the body had time to digest most of the eaten before you go to bed, the last meal should take place no later than 3 hours before bedtime. Juices are digested 15-20 minutes, fruits - 20-40 minutes, cereals - from an hour, meat - from one and a half (chicken) to 4-5 hours (pork).
Eat what you bought and cooked
Stewed, fried, stuffed meat even in the refrigerator is kept very short, only 1-2 days. Ready-made salads - 3-5 days, boiled hard-boiled eggs, ham and bacon - a week. It is advisable to cook fresh greens, fish and poultry on the same day that you bought them, in the last resort, leave it until tomorrow.
Drink your teas
To make this drink good for you, make a black one for a minute, green for 10-15 seconds. To drink it preferably within the first 30 minutes, then it will have the maximum toning effect.
Put vegetables and greens in a salad
Do not make them long "wait" on the cutting board. Instead, cut (greens are best just broken by hand) right before you serve the dish on the table. Thus, you keep the maximum of vitamin C, which quickly breaks down in the air.
Do not rush to eat what's in your plate
The feeling of satiety is formed of two factors: a feeling of fullness in the stomach and an increase in the level of sugar in the blood, to which the brain will react only 20 minutes after you put the first piece in your mouth. It's not for nothing that dietitians recommend eating slowly and thoughtfully, so as not to "pick" at the table.
Take food off fire
Fish (depending on the thickness) cook 15-30 minutes, chicken - at least 40 minutes, rabbit and beef - from 1 hour. The liver will be ready most quickly: in only 10-15 minutes, later - pork: it should be cooked for at least 1.5 hours.
In time, have a snack between meals
From meal to meal should pass 3-5 hours. This is the optimal time to maintain a stable level of glucose in the blood.
Have breakfast
And do not refuse this meal, even if you overslept and are late for work. Between dinner and breakfast should not take more than 12 hours. During this time, the body in the absence of food will run out of stored glycogen and will start using other sources of energy: proteins of muscles, blood, bone tissue. Remove the meat from the frying pan if you want it to remain red inside. First, "chop" a piece from two sides for 1 minute, then, after reducing the fire, cook for 2-3 minutes. For a medium steak steak - 3 minutes, for a well-seasoned - 5 minutes.
Sit at the table as soon as hungry
We often confuse this feeling with thirst, so first drink a glass of water and wait 10 minutes. During this time, the liquid leaves the stomach. Are you still hungry? So, it's really time to have a bite to eat!
Serve boiled meat on the table
To make it tasty and juicy, give him about 10 minutes to lie in the broth. If you bake pork, beef, veal or chicken, also let it "rest" for about 10-15 minutes, wrapping it properly in foil. Frozen yogurt, if you want to please the guests with a delicious and light dessert. Place it in the freezer for 1.5 hours before the meal. Put in the rum berries and fruit, if you want to put on a Christmas evening on the table. This classic dish of German cuisine requires a very long preparation. The first strawberry gets in a pot with rum for 6 months, in June and a month is insisted, before cherry, plums, apricots, pears will lay on top of it.
