In the USA, many wealthy individuals have their own private nutritionists who advise them on food choices. Each nutritionist has their own tricks that set them apart from the competition, and chatty celebrities are happy to share their dietary habits. Although each individual trick may not seem like much, a different picture emerges when they are collected as a whole. Trust us, it's worth following them ...
1. Move eggs to lunchtime
Our bodies have a hard time digesting egg whites in the morning, which can lead to cravings for sweets. Move omelets and eggs of all kinds to lunchtime.
2. Start your day with a glass of lemonade, not coffee
Lemon is good for liver health, has lots of beneficial enzymes, vitamin C, and hot water relaxes the colon and aids digestion. So, in the morning, squeeze half a lemon into a glass of hot water.
3. Prioritize vegetable smoothies
Vegetable smoothies are low in calories and provide the body with lots of energy. Fruit smoothies are very similar to fruit juices and can cause weight gain and bloating. Although berries, blueberries, bananas, and other fruits are very beneficial for health, enjoy them during afternoon snacks and not for breakfast.
4. Watch how much protein you consume
Proteins are very important for our bodies, but they burden the liver and can cause many other diseases. Be careful not to consume too much protein, as it can also lead to weight gain. It is important to note that there is no exact data on how much protein is recommended, as it depends on who you ask. Fitness trainers may advise you to consume 0.8 to 4 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, while more ascetic nutritionists recommend a maximum of 20 to 30 grams of protein per meal. If you have a sedentary job and do little exercise, doctors recommend 20 grams per meal + 30 to 40 grams after any physical activity, including a walk longer than 15 minutes.
5. Change your stretching exercises every week
There is nothing wrong with repeating exercises. If you want to get rid of a large stomach, then do abdominal exercises for at least 15 minutes 3 to 4 times a day, but not for more than 10 days. Muscles adapt to this rhythm, so the effects are no longer as noticeable. Changing exercises and having a different exercise routine is necessary. Britney Spears, who first spoke about these changes, says that after slimming exercises, she always returns to the treadmill, which is good for the heart, blood vessels, and overall fitness.
6. Morning exercise is better than evening exercise
People who exercise in the morning do it for health and beauty, while those who exercise in the evening are just trying to make up for the indulgences they had during the day. Christina Aguilera believes that the body needs to be relieved and relaxed in the evening to regenerate and digest all the consumed food. It is important not to eat 3 hours before bedtime.
7. Forget about sports and energy drinks and protein bars
These dietary supplements often contain a lot of sugar, sodium, even caffeine, and especially flavor enhancers, and the quality of the ingredients used is always questionable. Avoid eating industrially processed foods.
8. Plan your meals
You will save a lot of money, time, and effort if you plan your meals for the whole week in advance. Especially pay attention not to mix starch and protein days, but you can also plan a cheat day (sweets, alcohol, fried food). This should be followed by a cleansing day ... Planning your daily tasks will also be easier.
9. Eat more fiber
Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar, and it is recommended to consume 25 grams of fiber per day for women and 38 grams for men. Aishwarya Rai managed to lose 25 kilograms in a very short time using this method, while cutting out meat (and increasing the amount of fish) and starting to eat highly spiced food (especially spices that melt fat).
10. Don't get out of bed right away
Rising should be a ritual. Lie on your back. Inhale and pull your belly in strongly. Hold your breath for 5 to 10 seconds, then exhale slowly. Repeat this exercise 15 times. This will awaken digestion and strengthen your abdominal muscles.
Bonus: Don't eat low-fat foods
After the first Bridget Jones movie, Renee Zellweger gained a lot of weight. She switched to the Atkins diet, limited her carbohydrate intake, paid more attention to proteins and fibers. But the main difference was that Zellweger did not consume low-fat products and less sugar. In fact, she did not eat things that lacked anything, because the body craves and absorbs such foods already.
