Every year we hear about new diets or remember the old ones. One of them tell you to forget the carbohydrates, others insist on cutting out all the fat, some even suggest stop eating at all. But if you want to lose some weight, you have to remember that it is not all about the diet: you have to do sports and healthy nutrition, maybe even change the entire way of life.
One important thing has to be taken in mind by anyone trying to lose weight with the help of the specific diet: none of the diets relate with the healthy nutrition. Usually, all of the diets are used for a certain period of time after which you lose some weight and start eating normally again…which practically means coming back the previous eating habits that made you gain weight. Thus healthy nutrition (along with physical activity) should be part of our healthy way of living. What does this mean? It means that 80% of food we consume should be vegetable diet, and 20% consist of protein and fat. The purpose is to maintain these proportions and choose the products you like which would ensure the loss or maintenance of your weight without drastic diets which promise you loss of weight in 3 days. However, such eating must become a part of your way of life.
You may wonder: what about the food supplements which let me eat what I want and still burn fat or decrease my appetite? In fact, such products that promise miracles trick people so easily. There are no preparations which could eliminate your weight if you eat whatever you want and as much as you want. Besides, it is important to find out what your organism requires indeed, because even the best vitamins and supplements may be useless if your organism doesn’t tolerate the ingredients. The use of the supplements must be purposive and not because you saw it on TV.
There are certain principles for healthy nutrition though. Even though there are many different opinions about the food combination, doctors suggest combining food: carbohydrates shouldn’t be consumed with proteins (groats, porridge, potatoes and bread shouldn’t be mixed with meat). Vegetables suit everything; fruits should be eaten separately half an hour before the meal- this is how much fruits require to digest. If you live a regular life working from 9 to 5, it is recommended to eat your last meal before 7pm. During the day human’s organism gets tired from food and the immune system weakens too in the evening. If you still feel hungry, grab some fruits, yogurt. If you keep to these rules for several weak, your body will get used to these principles and you won’t feel hunger after 7pm anymore.
It is recommended to drink 2litres of water per day. Even drinking has its system: drink 10-15 min before the meal; half an hour later if you had fruits; 1,5 hour later if you had grains; 2 hours later after the meat. It is very important to chew properly, because digestion starts in the mouth.
Do not starve trying to lose weight. Starving only allows your immune system to rest and organism to get rid of waste. You can starve 1-3 days without any medical supervision: all you need to do is drink liquids and clean your intestine.
Is it possible to lose overweight for good? Yes, it is. But nothing happens without efforts.

Weight Loss Reviews: Lose Weight With 8 Golden Diet Rules
So, you decided to get rid of some extra pounds? Congratulations! It won’t be hard to do if you keep to certain rules. Especially, if it’s only some pounds that you want to get rid of, you shouldn’t wait for too long to feel lighter, healthier and energetic.
The golden principle-do more physical activity and avoid too many calories. Discipline and the strength of your will depend only on you, but we will help with some tips.
1. Don’t starve
If you start taking a severe diet, you will lose lots of weight, which is mainly water and energy from your muscles, after what you will shortly start regaining your pounds, since your body will start reserving everything from every calorie it receives. The outcomes of the severe dieting might be very drastic: breaking down the metabolism, the lack of vitamins and nutritious matters, psychological problems and bad mood. Remember that your organism has to get all the necessary nutritious elements. Depending on the type of work and way of living (sedentary work, physical activity), you have to get approximately 1500-2500 kcal. Those who burn more energy during the day must consume over 3000kcal
2. Do sports
You will achieve best results if you combine diet with sports. Besides 30 min of daily physical activity reduce the early death risk by one fourth. If you didn’t do sports before, start from simple strolls or swimming in the sea or lake. Summer is the best time for it! It will not only refresh you, but also will help you to firm your most problematic zones.
3. Limit your meal portions
Don’t put too much on your plate. Instead use smaller plates to avoid this. Control the portions. Don’t cook for several servings if you eat by yourself.
4. Drinks can be caloric too
All drinks, except for water, have calories. Did you know that a glass of 2% fat milk had 20 calories more than the same glass of fruit juice? But milk is more useful to our body.
And alcohol-a true caloric bomb. A glass of sweet dessert wine has even 225 kcal. Alcohol and diet are simply incompatible things. When we use alcohol, the organism stops burning fat and starts separating alcohol. This ruins your diet plans and stops the process of weight dropping. Avoid various soda drinks. In summer it’s better to use cold green tea.
5. Avoid white flour products
Avoid white bread. If you find one, buy brown bread. Eliminate all the rolls, donuts, cakes and cookies.
6. Sometimes be more lenient to yourself
If you’re overwhelmed by the huge urge to eat something tasty, don’t punish yourself too harsh and have a bite. Of course, we recommend you o choose something from slightly healthier desserts: jelly, fruit gummies, dry fruits, sherbets, cornflakes. If you did eat something more caloric, try to use fewer calories on your next meal.
7. Prefer bright and dark color vegetables and fruits
Distinctly bright color vegetables and fruits have more antioxidants which protect your body from the harmful effect of the free radicals. For example, apples, broccoli, cabbages and spinaches have lutein which is useful for the hydration, elasticity and your eyes. Avocados and green leafy vegetables have vitamin E which strengthens the membranes of the cells and can protect from the wrinkles. The more colorful fruits and vegetables you have on your table, the wider range of vitamins you get.
8. Write a diary of your diet
This might seem quite weird, but writing a diary would let you feel discipline better. You can also write down the entire week menu so that you don’t have to think what to eat, because eating in a rush and not to the plan might bring extra calories. Write down what’s most difficult while being on a diet. Let your diary be your diet companion and guide. Instead of complaining to your husband or your best friend how it’s hard to keep to the diet, better write it in your diary.
