According to experts, the appropriate and balanced regime for weight loss should be not less than 1200 calories, and should be as close to the Mediterranean cuisine, little meat, lots of fruits and vegetables, fish, breads, dried fruits, olive oil, flax seed and wheat germ. It is important to add low-fat dairy and vegetables, like broccoli and tomatoes that prevent certain types of cancer.
Before starting a diet, it is essential to consider that any treatment is a long term process. Therefore, the diet should be low in calories, to achieve a caloric balance that allows you lose weight, burn fat, but it should be a nutritionally adequate diet.
In this sense it is best to contain between 50 to 60% carbohydrates, 15 to 20% protein, plus 25 to 30% fat. Likewise, we must bear in mind that weight loss is key to six meals a day, as we have said on other occasions, with maximum intervals of not more than three hours between intake and the other, as this allows closer caloric intake, causing a decrease in total cholesterol and LDL (bad), the greater amount of energy expended in digestion, absorption, conversion and storage of nutrients consumed through food (postprandial thermogenesis) and lower insulin spikes.
Should therefore always make the four main meals-breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner and two snacks a day, a mid-morning and one mid-afternoon. In this way manages to get less hungry for the next meal reduce portion sizes, better selection of food will be consumed, and activate the overall energy expenditure.
Before beginning any diet plan to lose or gain weight, consult with your nutritionist, the know how to guide.
