Establish a healthy lifestyle to lose pounds
Findingthe right balance when it comes to nutrition, even when you are overweight, is a headache. Many websites, magazine pages, television shows use multiple recommendations, tests and articles to advocate the “best diet”. However, it has already been several months since food fashions with “yoyo effect” are decried by these same supports.
With the help of some guiding notions to use on a daily basis, it is possible to take care of yourself. It is about acquiringgood nutritional habitsduring the work week and avoiding the yoyo effect during the weekend, during your relaxing days,
The work week
In order to be as regular as possible, it is useful to organize your meals and snacks.
Organize the “before” lunch
To avoid eating on the go, in an impromptu and inappropriate way, it is enough, the day before, to prepare yourlunch in a lunch box. So your meals will be perfectly balanced. Nothing complicated about that, it’s just a question of organization. Also take a 50cl bottle of water to fill and drink three times a day. Do not drink after 7 p.m. to avoid restless nights.
Organize the “after” lunch
Avoid cracking on a candy bar or packet of chips. Instead, and if it’s not time to snack, drink a large glass of water. The alternation meal / glass of water is a healthy habit to take. And for the snack, plan an apple (organic), low-calorie patties (30 kilocalories per cake), some dried fruits or yogurt.
It seemseasier to eat properly during the week, the weekend being rather reserved for more festivities. Some notions are to know so as not to be too mistaken.
During the weekend
You should know that less than three days of unbalanced meals are enough to upset the intestinal flora. Scientific studies specify that the intermittency ofbalanced/unbalanced meals should be avoided. The body is exhausted there. In fact, the only possible solution is a lifestyle based on the long term.
It is time to admit that the “yoyo effect” is more than harmful to the state of health which, if it is easy to find before thirty years, is no longer so thereafter. After sixty years of fatigue, accidents, stress, wear, repeated diseases, chronicity … Regrets are never far away.
In the journal “Molecular Nutrition and Food Research”(1), the study conducted by Australian researchers (University of New South Wales) reveals that rats subjected to a “yo-yo diet” had a higher weight (18%) than those who ate a balanced diet.
Another observation: the intestinal flora of rats subjected to a “yoyo” type diet, as well as those subjected to the “junk food” type, is substantially the same. This proves that the only possible alternative is to findnutritional stability to finally achieve weight stability.
Scientists were able to discover that guinea pigs that had alternated different diets, ranging from stability to nutritional nonsense, ate twice as much when they “returned to normal”. This food alternation is experienced by the microbiota as an attack with a disruption of immune function, metabolism and the gastrointestinal system.
To lose weight sustainably, learning a Long-term projection, rather than “bluffing” effects, is what to look for. Admittedly, we already knew this, but scientific studies make it possible to validate this “nutritional logic” which, once again, is a matter of simple common sense.
