WHAT SHOULD I EAT TO LOSE WEIGHT?

First, something we have to keep in mind is that there is no fruit, vegetables or dairy "miraculous" whose exclusive use all our fat dissolve and transform our body into a machine for burning calories.

The effectiveness of a diet depends on two things:

That is balanced, that each day of the week furnishes enough protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals that our body needs.

Containing the number of calories you're going to spend. No more no less.

How do we know how many calories you spend per day? This question can only be answered by a professional in a personal interview, because for each person is different. It depends on your age, sex, height, weight, physical activity levels and even their health and emotional state. However, here are some guidelines that are more or less general and if you want to lose a few kilos, I advise you about the foods you should and should not eat:

In the morning is when our body makes better use of nutrients, so the first meal of the day will hold much of it. So it is advisable to have breakfast and as healthy as possible.

Always at mid-morning we're hungry right? And usually we are at work or at school, so they often opt for foods that offer only fat and sugar, like cookies or chocolates. So it is very good idea to take some fruit with us, like an apple, pear, orange, minced, chopped banana, and others.

When eating lunch, be careful not to overdo. If you have to lunch outside, try asking dishes containing greater amounts of vegetables, meat and beans.

Eat slowly, using a knife and fork, chewing quietly. So be satisfied much sooner. At least in the summer, put aside the dessert with cream, flour and icing. If you're hungry mid-afternoon, eat something like mid-morning.

Dinner should always be lighter than lunch. Usually comes home very hungry. Consider snacks at this time, such as creamed vegetables, soups, steamed meat. Serve smaller portions and always have dinner about two hours before bedtime.

Remember that to be healthy; you have to eat about five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. With fruit for breakfast, midmorning and midafternoon, and salads for lunch and dinner and have satisfied the requirement.

Another important ingredient in your diet is water. Try to get eight glasses a day, you will feel much better.
