Organize a rational diet for weight loss is entirely within the power of all comers, and regardless of the level of their material security due to the wide availability of basic dietary products. The main thing at the same time is to clearly understand the basic principles that should be followed when preparing diet food.
First of all, the most careful attention should be paid to the caloric content of the dishes cooked. It should be noted that splitting one gram of fat in the human body releases twice as much energy as when splitting the same amount of protein or carbohydrates. Therefore, for those who want to lose weight it is important to ensure the possibility of cooking at home with dishes with a low fat content. For this, vegetable dishes from cabbage, cucumber, tomato, zucchini, pumpkin, beet, carrot are best. From the available varieties of milk and all sorts of dairy products for cooking dietary foods, it is desirable to choose products with a low fat content or completely nonfat products. The best varieties of meat and fish for organizing in the home dietary diet are again non-fat varieties. In addition to fats, it is necessary to reduce the content of easily digestible carbohydrates in food, i.e. if possible, add a minimum amount of sugar to cooked meals, limit consumption of muffins, various sweets and confectionery.
It is also necessary to organize the correct dietary nutrition regime. It is best to divide the daily ration into more fractional portions and to eat 4-6 times a day. During dinner, it is best to limit yourself to a low-calorie vegetable salad or some other dietary dish. It is advisable to spend dinner no later than 2-3 hours before bedtime, and at night you can drink a glass of fat-free yogurt.
Another feature that should be taken into account when preparing dietary meals at home is compliance with a certain technological regime for processing food products. It is not advisable to keep fried, smoked, spicy and salty foods while dieting for weight loss. The fact is that the preparation and subsequent consumption of such foods increases the appetite, and this inevitably leads to overeating. If it is necessary to conduct heat treatment during the preparation of dietary dishes, it is best to cook food products.
As possible examples of cooking dietary dishes at home, consider several recipes:
1. Salad from fresh white cabbage. Cut cabbage, add a little salt and grate until the juice forms, then leave for 15 - 20 minutes. After that, squeeze cabbage, add a little vegetable oil, a tablespoon of vinegar, a handful of cranberries or cranberries, crumble the green onions and mix.
2. Pea porridge with barley. To prepare this dietary dish, a glass of peas should be soaked for a few hours, then start to cook it. After 20 minutes after the beginning of the boil, add a glass of barley and cook until done. Ten minutes before the end of cooking, add the head of chopped onion and one carrot, rubbed on a coarse grater.
3. Ear from fresh fish. At home, you can also prepare such a delicious and healthy dietary dish from fish as an ear. To do this, you need to boil broth from gutted fish, while removing the spoon formed during the boiling. Then add the bay leaves, chopped onions, carrots and potatoes and cook until the vegetables are ready.
