Dietology, unfortunately, is far from exact sciences: there is no way to reduce weight, which would help everyone - there will always be exceptions to the rules. Therefore, in each case, you need to make personal recommendations that take into account the needs and inclinations of a particular person. If you prefer to build your own food yourself, try not to succumb to provocations like "everything is refined harmful", "eat these foods separately" - first understand what is behind this statement. Only then you will not become an involuntary victim of another fiction, actively betrayed for the truth.
Often, losing weight, which went on the occasion of his body, eventually become a patient of a dentist. It turns out that for some reason their body always asked for something different than what it really needed. However, the problem is not in the body: it actually signaled the deficiency of certain nutrients, but the lady who reduces the weight is not always right, these signals were interpreted.
It often happens that a man lacks some essential amino acids. The organism in such cases begins to signal "I want meat". Sensing the need for this, women immediately go to the store and buy sausage: they are convinced that this is a meat product. Actually, in modern sausage-sausage products of meat can be from 2 to 8%, that is, 100 g of sausage at best contains 8 grams meat. And there can be a talk here about replenishment of amino acid deficiency?
Thirst for sweets. Does our body really need a huge amount of sweets and cakes? But what about the abundance of calories that, if not physically loaded, will most likely turn into fat? Such a signal of the body must be properly decoded: in most cases the body really lacks carbohydrates - only not simple ones, which are contained in confectionery products, but complex ones. Introduction of a sufficient amount of unrefined cereals, grain bread, legumes, vegetables and fruits in the diet helps to solve the problem.
Do you want to have a protein, chalk or a tooth powder? Here it is necessary to go on about the body just inappropriately, and we must run to the store for dairy products and to the drugstore for drugs containing calcium. And at the same time it would be nice to make an appointment with an endocrinologist to check if there are violations of calcium metabolism in the body.
A craving for salt can indicate a lowered arterial pressure.
The need for acute and sour appears in gastritis with decreased seizure, insufficiency of digestive enzymes or chronic stress. Coffee and chocolate are desirable when overfatigue, and fish and seafood-in the shortage of iodine. So our body really knows how to communicate about their needs, but only signals should not be taken literally.
If the desire to eat something pokaloronnee - a cake, chocolate occurs a few days before the start of menstruation, it makes sense to check the level of hemoglobin. But it must be done before and after menstruation: if hemoglobin is lower in both cases (less than 115 g / l), then iron deficiency anemia is observed. And the body must not be fed sweet, but meat, eggs, mushrooms, buckwheat and greens.
The lower the fat content, the better
In the shops you can find dairy products with different levels of fat. Losing weight is chosen by those with a lower percentage: they are more useful. From the point of view of those who count calories, so it is, but in the opinion of a nutritionist, this is the real myth. The fact that dairy products are the most important source of not only readily available to the body protein, which is so valued vdietah, but calcium.
And this mineral is better absorbed in the presence of fats. "Zero" dairy products can not be sources of calcium. We have to look for a compromise: the fat content of the drinking products (milk, kefir, yogurt) should be at least 1.5%, and cottage cheese and grained cheese - 4-5%. So the fat goes a little, and calcium is absorbed.
