Fruit jelly and butter
Of course, to eat a sandwich with butter is tastier and more interesting than just a piece of bread. But this is pure animal fat! If you really have a mania to smear something with each bagel and a roll, then it's better to use low-fat sour cream, home-made cheese, fruit jelly, marmalade. This "coating" contains an average of 3-5 times less calories than butter, and besides does not load the body with excess harmful fats.
Yoghurt and Plombir
The problem is that the fats contained in your favorite ice cream are especially quickly and easily stored in reserve at the waist and hips. Freeze low-fat natural yogurt, mixing it with berries and fruits, and then you can smell it like ice cream every day (only about 75 kcal versus 179). By the way, such a light dessert is useful for bone and immune systems. Here's a tasty yogurt!
Chestnuts
Nuts are a strong food allergen. Each nucleolus is 50-60% fat, and ICPM (I do not exclude nuts altogether in 100 g of nuts, they lower the cholesterol level in the blood (by 14% in 3 weeks).) Prefer chestnuts (245 kcal per 100 g and only 2% of fat.) A good option is to season dishes with almond oil.In the recipe of the cake says "a glass of nuts" Put a third: the taste will not change much, and the caloric content will decrease noticeably.
Fresh vegetables and gravy
When extinguishing meat from 35 to 75% of vitamin B passes into the juice or sauce formed during the preparation. However, let rich in vitamins, meat sauce is not so useful, because it is prepared using ingredients such as flour and cream, therefore, the final product is extremely fat and high-calorie. Eat meat with greens and vegetables. Then no gravy will be needed at all, and the food itself will become more literate.
Fruit chocolate
Sugar and fats, overflowing with chocolate, perfectly replenish calories and, therefore, body weight. In a 100-gram tile, for your information, more than 550 calories and 35 grams of fat. In addition, chocolate often causes headaches, being an allergen, or heartburn after a hearty dinner, and often acts as a sleep disturber, provoking insomnia, - ask the doctors.
Alternative
Eat some very sweet fruit or 3-4 pieces of dried fruits. Drink the cocoa. For some time you will stop pulling on chocolate. If the need for a delicacy exceeds all limits, choose the smallest tile of bitter dark chocolate. It contains more than 400 useful elements.
Broccoli chips
Eating a 100 gram packet of potato chips, you get as much fat as it contains 95 medium potatoes! In addition, chips contain a huge amount of salt, sodium glutamate and other harmful chemical additives.
Alternative
Raw stems or scalded with boiled stems of broccoli appetizingly crunch, if dunking them in low-fat sauce, you will get an excellent replacement for chips. This green vegetable is very useful for the heart, digestion, it protects the body from aging and contains at least 4 substances with anti-cancer effect. A worthy replacement in every sense!
Home cutlet vs hot dogs and burgers
All this fast food should be considered a cholesteric bomb. Consumption of fatty meat products increases the formation of free radicals in the body. Harmful molecules help the cholesterol attach to the walls of the vessels and clog them. Violating the structure of cells, contribute to their degeneration. Do not buy semi-finished products or ready-made minced meat (fat there is over-sized), but choose lean pieces of beef and cook from them. Do not combine meat with pastries: they should be eaten separately. The best side dish for the cutlet is fresh vegetables. The useful antioxidants contained in them actively fight free radicals and repair damaged cells.
Teas vs coffee with cream
A standard cup of coffee-cappuccino is 350 ml of a flavored drink containing 5 grams of fat more than the same portion of the volume, but with the milk removed. And you know what is 5 g of fat? This is 45 extra kilocalories. Simply put, regularly using coffee with cream, you are very at risk of growing fat. In addition, coffee penetrates the microcracks of the enamel, depriving teeth of gloss and whiteness, and the excess of caffeine contained in the drink helps to reduce the bone substance, making the bones brittle and vulnerable. According to the research, a negative effect can be obtained by drinking more than two cups of coffee a day. Drink occasionally black coffee or coffee with low-fat milk, which, if you have a good mixer, you can whip it to foam. This, of course, is not a cappuccino, but you can get used to it. It's a good idea to switch to tea altogether. Both black and green, it contains flavones. These compounds have antioxidant properties and regulate the content of "bad" cholesterol, thereby reducing the number of plaques that can clog the arteries. Green tea has, in addition, the ability to actively counteract the formation of tumors. Japanese scientists have proved that daily consumption of this miracle drink significantly reduces the risk of lung, stomach and esophagus cancer. It is worth to listen to their research.
Olive oil vs mayonnaise
Any dish, dressed with mayonnaise, is catastrophically caloric. Let's say you eat right and do not go through calories. If you are tired of your competent diet, add 1 table per day. spoon of mayonnaise, which is very quietly dissolved in a salad, you will get almost 100 extra kilocalories per day and add 5 kg per year. And to burn the same 100 calories, you need to spend as much energy as is consumed by a 30-minute run. As you can see, accustom yourself to mayonnaise - a figure to harm. Low-fat mayonnaise is crammed with all sorts of harmful E-additives. Products marked "light", as a rule, are a snag, they are only slightly less greasy than their "un-light" counterparts. Give preference to olive oil. It is an exception to the rule relating to fats. Those who regularly include it in their diet, blood cholesterol, blood pressure and heart disease rate are 17-20% lower than those who consume animal fats. This is because olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids. And they behave differently in the body than dangerous saturated fats. Therefore, long live the olive oil, but in a reasonable amount, so as not to reduce the use to zero due to its high caloric value. 2-3 table. a spoonful of salad will be enough.
Bread with bran and biscuits
Cakes and pastries - this is a charge of fat, which in two accounts will equalize your waist with your hips. A glass of flour for a small cake gives 455 kcal, the same amount of cooking oil - another 1500. And the astronomical amount of cholesterol (up to 50 mg in a tiny slice) and E-additives that only do harm? White bread is also destructive to your health and shape. Benefits - no, but empty calories - a lot.
Alternative
Buns with bran. By the way, lately a lot has been said about the benefits of unleavened bread. If you look carefully, on the shelves of shops you can find several types of such bread. From the cakes choose the most lean, say "Bird's milk" or fruit and berry jelly and soufflé. Once you can.
Juices vs soda
Carbonated drinks - a set of food chemistry: dyes, flavors and preservatives, poisoning the body. The benefits of lemonade are zero, and calories accumulate. The daily sugar norm for an adult is contained in a 250-gram bottle. But we can drink one day before 2 liters of a non-nutritious drink! Perfect replacement - freshly squeezed juice without sugar, fruit and fruit salads, seasoned with lemon juice. And for health it is useful, and you will not gain excess weight. A suitable option is mineral water with lime. In the summer, such a refreshing drink, and in the winter acts as an anti-depressant. After all, lime promotes the production of the hormone serotonin, which drives seasonal spleen. And most importantly - no calories.
