We have 30 days to start following a healthy lifestyle, monitor your diet and portion sizes. You will once again be on the path to achieving your dream of a beautiful, toned body.
To make your start in the world of fitness more competent, review the nutrition tips that I have posted below. Using these tips and tricks in combination with daily workouts will bring changes to your life that you previously thought were impossible.
What needs to change in your diet
- Include protein-rich foods. Such as chicken breast, fish, eggs, nuts and soy products. There is evidence that a diet containing adequate amounts of protein helps improve your endurance, so it is important to include these foods in your daily diet.
- Limit the amount of saturated fat you consume (this includes animal fats, which are bad for your cardiovascular system), and replace them with unsaturated fats. Such fats are found in red fish, vegetable oils, nuts and seeds.
- Include low/moderate glycemic index (GI) foods such as legumes, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables and sweet potatoes. Low GI foods keep your blood sugar levels stable so you don't have to constantly snack.
- Add plenty of fruits and vegetables . These products are low in fat and low in calories. At the same time, they are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Experienced nutrition experts recommend including 5 servings of fresh vegetables and fruits in your daily diet.
- Include calcium-rich foods - soy, red fish, nuts, seeds, cereals and greens.
- Include iron-rich foods - red fish, eggs, cereals, greens and a small amount of red meat.
Determine your consumption of 1350 calories every day and every month you will lose about 1 kg of excess weight.
Importance of the study
The significance of such interesting results is of great importance for people who are looking to improve their body weight. People who have been diagnosed with a disease such as diabetes should also heed these findings. It is associated with increased blood glucose levels.
The researchers said their results supported the idea that eating a large dinner is harmful. Such foods have a particularly negative effect on the body's tolerance to glucose. This is also important for patients who suffer from diabetes and are trying to prevent elevated blood glucose levels.

This means that metabolic processes in the body can be regulated by choosing a method of eating, when a rich breakfast prevails in volume and calorie content over a hearty lunch.
Skipping the first meal in the morning is especially harmful. By saving on breakfast, a person in vain believes that he can lose weight. Most likely, he will want to “catch up” later in the evening.
Here's what you need to do to start losing weight
from breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack options each day Rotate your meals every day to make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need to stay healthy.
Add 300 ml of skim milk or 2 small jars of low-fat yoghurt to your daily diet. Some people replace dairy products with soy products. If you also choose soybean, then make sure that it contains sufficient amount of calcium, which will keep your bones strong and healthy.
If you don't have time to prepare a meal or need to run quickly, snacking on the go, then choose a snack with the right amount of calories that you can take with you - a sandwich, salad or a ready-made meal (just remember to check the calorie content).
The menu is designed for one person ; for two, double the recommended amount.
1 tablespoon = 15 ml, 1 teaspoon = 5 ml.
You don't have to eat all the foods we've recommended for each meal in one sitting. For example you can eat fruit later.
Load up on vegetables - you can eat them in unlimited quantities with the exception of high-calorie potatoes, parsnips, peas, corn, canned beans and other legumes. Toss the salad with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing.
Eat 5 different fruits and vegetables throughout the day to increase your intake of fiber, minerals and vitamins.
Drink enough water , at least 8 glasses a day.
Below are equivalent servings of dishes that can be alternated:
- 1 fruit, be it an apple, banana, peach or orange;
- 2 small fruits such as plums, tangerines, kiwis;
- 1/2 grapefruit or avocado or 1 slice of melon or watermelon;
- 3 heaping tablespoons of vegetables, legumes or grains;
- 3 heaping tablespoons of fruit salad or 1 cup of grapes, cherries or berries;
- 1 heaped tablespoon of raisins or 3 dried apricots;
- 1 dessert bowl of salad;
- 1 glass per 150 ml of fruit juice.
Research results
Scientists selected 16 people and observed them for three days. The researchers alternated between a low-calorie breakfast and a high-calorie dinner. Then they repeated the process in reverse order.
Eating a high-calorie breakfast not only significantly reduced hunger throughout the day. It was possible to establish that his role is much more important.
There has long been a proverb: “Eat breakfast yourself, share lunch with a friend, and give dinner to your enemy.” This means that it is the morning meal that plays a fundamental role. How did scientists confirm this information?

Why is breakfast important when losing weight?
Healthy breakfasts for weight loss, according to nutritionists, are necessary for several reasons:
- accustom the body to require food in small portions, but regularly (this is how a diet is formed, which is useful not only in the process of losing excess weight, but also in maintaining an ideal figure after losing weight);
- give the body energy and strength for subsequent mental and physical activities during the day;

Hi all! I want to share a super healthy pasta made from avocado and tofu cheese. Just recently I read about low-fat varieties of cheese, and tofu cheese was on this list. It is made from soybeans and is rich in protein with minimal fat, making it low in calories. I had a good recipe for pasta with avocado in mind for a long time, and I decided to improve it in the edalite style: I replaced regular cheese with tofu, replaced sour cream with yogurt and got a healthy tofu and avocado paste
