Want to lose weight, but do not know how to give up sweet? Use useful substitutes: stevia, maple honey, agave syrup or Jerusalem artichoke - they will lower the level of "harmful" cholesterol and do not reward you with extra pounds. Add them to homemade pastries made from dark flour, dried fruit candies, berry cocktails, oatmeal and cottage cheese.
Do not forget about herbal and berry teas - they perfectly strengthen immunity, relieve catarrhal diseases and help to cope with seasonal weight gain. Lemon / pomegranate with ginger and honey, apple with muscat or cinnamon, sea buckthorn with syrup or honey - undoubted leaders of the "autumn" list. However, you can create your own tea mixtures - seasoned with honey, they can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
Butter should be included in the diet in autumn and winter - it is necessary for the growth and strengthening of hair and nails, the functioning of the nervous, cardiovascular and digestive system. 30 - 50 grams of oil a day will not hurt the figure, but will make the skin soft, and curls - shiny. Do not like oil in its pure form? Connect it with chopped herbs or a spoon of honey.
Do not neglect the available and natural food additives - they will improve the work of the digestive tract, purify the skin, saturate the blood with valuable trace elements and fill the body with energy. Add flax seeds, chopped ginger, cilantro, spirulina powder or sesame seeds to salads, use parsley, celery, carrots and beets, use pink pepper and sea salt for refueling dishes.
