Many people are mistaken, believing that if you want to lose weight, you need to eat tasteless and unappetizing foods. And pastries, sweets, meat increase the volume before our eyes.
Be sure to remember that the food eaten at night before going to bed is necessarily deposited in the form of fat on our tummy and not only. It is very important to establish the correct diet. And do not forget that in keeping fit, not only what we eat and in what quantities, but also the time of eating plays a role.
What foods don't make you fat? First of all, it is a vegetable food with a high content of fiber. And the calorie content of such products is lower, the more dietary fiber they contain. Of course, these include vegetables and some fruits.

Low-fat dairy products are also very helpful. Natural yogurt without additives, kefir, fermented baked milk will perfectly complement your diet. And low-calorie cottage cheese will give your body an additional supply of calcium and animal protein, and will also perfectly satisfy your hunger.

What to do with sweets, completely exclude them from your diet? Still, there are among them the least high-calorie ones. This is pastila (best home cooking), marshmallow, marmalade. And also as a dessert, you can use various dried fruits, fruits and berries. It is best to consume such sweets in the morning and in small quantities.

It's hard to be a woman!
It's even harder to be an attractive woman.
Especially when it comes to 30, and all the time is taken away by such entertainment as work, child, household, maybe also a car, and a cottage ...
There is no time for fitness, no money for home gym equipment, no willpower for a diet ... And now we are completely imperceptibly moving from one weight category to another. Our favorite size 44 hasn’t fit for a long time - we reconciled ourselves, but it seems that the 46th size will soon become hopelessly small!
Usually, all articles on the topic of beauty and figures give advice - WHAT TO DO. And I, being a completely lazy woman myself, will take pity on all of us and tell you what NOT to do. In order not to lose the presentation, so to speak. But - I immediately warn you - my method is completely unsuitable for radical weight loss. Rather, it is an opportunity to slightly keep yourself in shape with the current crazy rhythm of life.
So, I thought, and my hands froze over the keyboard ... “Oh, but what I am going to propose now as the first point will seem too cruel to some ... No, this is not the place to start!
You have to start with your relationship. Of course, if you dig deeper, you can get to the bottom of a complete change in lifestyle. But I ended up flipping my own switch from "I need" to "I want." Not "I need" to remain attractive, but "I want" to remain attractive. The difference is fundamental.
And now from this small lyrical digression let's move on to harsh practice.
So rule 1.
Do not drink tea while working.
Oh how I love you. I see you are shocked.
So be it - I give a favour. Do not drink tea at work more than twice. I'll explain why. You do not just drink tea - you drink it with sugar and cookies. With cake, muffins and chocolates. Tea drinking is just an excuse for you to eat a pie or a sandwich. And then you still wonder where this fat belly suddenly came from, which completely hid your thin waist under it!
What to do? After all, colleagues have already taken out cups, boxes of sweets and a bag of cookies! I repeat - do not drink tea))) Look, save your working time, exceed the plan, get a bonus and buy a subscription to a fitness club!
As an entertainment, instead of tea, drink kefir, milk (preferably skimmed), eat an apple, a banana, gnaw on diet bread.
So I see sour faces. Do you remember where we started?
Do not take this advice (and the following ones) as a heavy necessity. Feel your own desire to follow this rule. Train yourself to want it.
Rule 2. Old as the world.
You don't have to eat a lot. Let's say you can eat half a liter of soup for lunch, a bowl of pasta, three meatballs, three hundred grams of commercial salad, two cups of coffee and 2 pies. By the way, I can too. But I don't eat. Because looking at myself thin in the mirror is more pleasant for me than at such a dinner. So, we divide all this horror into two, cross out the pies, replace the pasta with rice if possible. I assure you, you won't die of hunger. For the experiment, leave the uneaten half of the dinner for 15 minutes. I give you my word that after these very 15 minutes you will not have any desire to eat it. Approximately so much time is required for the satiety reflex to work (I can not express myself accurately, but the essence is correct).
And why do we attack lunch with such brutality? Where does such a terrible appetite come from, which makes us eat so much? I'll try to guess. Probably didn't have time to eat breakfast again? Here is the result. A cup of coffee with a cigarette helps to wake up. But it does not give energy enough to calmly wait for dinner. I hear people object to me that there is no time for a full breakfast. And I do not urge you to get up an hour earlier to cook porridge. But you can eat half a pack of cottage cheese bought in the evening, right? Or at least throw an egg into the pan?
In general, have breakfast, my dear.
Rule three.
Do not eat later than 3 hours before bedtime. Nothing at all. And you don't have to drink tea. Let's say you go to bed at midnight - please have dinner on your health at 9 pm.
But what if you really want to? Let's figure out what exactly you want - _EAT_ or "nibble on something"? Are you really hungry (rarely, but it happens), or do you just have a bad habit of chewing cookies in front of the TV (it happens all the time)? If it's the second, it's over. If your stomach really rumbles - drink a cup of milk, kefir or fermented baked milk. If you do not like dairy products - so be it, you can drink unsweetened tea. But: no cookies, sandwiches, sweets, chips!
Rule 4
Do not abuse fast food. I mean not only the assortment of McDonald's, but also sausages, sausage, soups fast food, factory cutlets and dumplings. All this is food, half of synthetic additives, half of trans fats, alien to the human body. And about monosodium glutamate, I will not say anything at all.
In exceptional cases, occasionally, of course, you can eat ready-made pizza or cook dumplings. But such food should not become a habit.
Rule 5
Here I am completely stooping to banality. No need to eat White bread. Replace it at least with bread like "Rizhsky" or "Fragrant", bread with bran or cereal. Such bread, despite the fact that it is also baked from wheat flour, contains much more of any useful additives.
When I write “white bread”, I mean buns, pies, and buns with cheesecakes. Is it hard to give up your favorite treats? And you imagine that you do not like them.
These are the simple five rules. Once again I will repeat what I wrote at the beginning. These rules will not help to radically lose weight or significantly improve metabolism. Their sole purpose is to help us women stay attractive and fit for as long as possible. You need to adhere to them not on Mondays, not a month before a vacation - you need to follow these rules from your youth and All your Life.
Most people love to eat delicious food and at the same time do not follow the selection of healthy foods and the total calorie content of their menu. Abundant food for some time will only bring pleasure, then health problems will begin. We will share with you information that will help you improve your diet, become healthier and more beautiful, tell you in detail about how to eat and not get fat, not suffer from stomach overflow or hunger.
Why do so many people eat and not get fat?
So, you look at your girlfriend with a great figure or any other person who appetizingly eats a large amount of high-calorie heavy food in front of your eyes, and you are surprised at how you can eat so much and stay slim. In your case, this does not happen: you just have to eat once again at night, try fatty foods, break off the diet once for sweets and harmfulness, and all this immediately entails a set of extra kilos, shortness of breath, hanging sides, full hips, a second chin that protrudes tummy and other body defects. There are several factors due to which you can eat what you want and not gain weight:
- high calorie expenditure - unused calories are stored as fat, so if you like to eat, please be active;
- developed muscles - they say that people with large muscles expend much more energy on all types of physical activity than non-inflated people;
- control of the total daily calorie content - you can eat anything, but if fewer calories are consumed than consumed, then excess weight is not gained (the optimal calorie content of the menu for maintaining, gaining or losing weight is calculated individually depending on lifestyle, gender, age and the nature of training) ;
- proper fractional nutrition - sometimes it seems to others that a person is constantly chewing if he often eats (the secret of fractional nutrition for weight loss is that food comes in every 2-3 hours, in small portions and fat does not have time to be deposited in unwanted places);
- diseases - sometimes digestive disorders, malfunctions of the thyroid gland, various hormonal and mental disorders cause excessive appetite, which does not necessarily lead to fullness.

In order not to gain weight, you do not have to go on cruel diets. The main thing is to eat more often, limit sugar and choose the right menu. How to do this, tells the expert "AiF" - Mikhail Zeigarnik, dietitian, candidate of medical sciences, chief physician of the clinic "Nutrition and Health", executive director of the National Society of Nutritionists.
Before planning a diet, you need to consider several principles of proper nutrition.
1. Balance. Each meal should ideally contain proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and not just one thing. Although it is desirable to include most of the carbohydrates eaten per day in breakfast. Carbonated sugary drinks are best avoided altogether. One bottle of 1.5 liters is usually a triple dose of sugar.
2. More vegetables and fruits. They should be eaten at least 400 g per day - whenever possible. And the more diverse their color palette, the more benefit you will get. These are dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals.
3. Do not refuse food after 6-7 pm. It has been proven to be very harmful. Our body is evolutionarily tuned to the constant absorption of food. How do wild animals act - wild boars, bears, foxes? They eat when they see food, not when they want to. Because in nature, food does not lie underfoot. Found a spine - ate it. He goes further, he saw a bird, crushed it with his paw - he again refreshed himself. The animal does not have the opportunity to eat ten birds at once. They do not walk around him in herds. Man, in fact, is also an animal, his body is tuned according to the same principle.
4. Eat every 3-3.5 hours. There is not because you want to, but because the time has come (as babies are fed by the hour). Then don't eat too much. We overeat just after a long fast, because we throw in a lot, quickly and do not understand that we have already eaten.
5. Limit sweets. Alas, there is no substitute for chocolate lovers. The fact that fructose is less caloric than glucose is a myth. The need for chocolate is akin to an "addiction". If a person deprives himself of it at all, “breaking” may begin. The only way out is to limit it, not to eat it with tiles. In order not to fall into depression from this at all, you can sometimes arrange holidays with a cake. But be sure to set the table, on the weekend, not on the run, so that no one distracts, and not instead of food, but just to savor. And then it turns out that the whole cake does not even need to be eaten. A small piece is enough.
So what should a healthy menu look like?
Breakfast. The ideal option is porridge, and milk, because milk is calcium and protein. For those who do not need to lose weight, you can use butter (even better with vegetable oil, but you won’t add it to all cereals). If you cannot tolerate milk (lactase deficiency), you can cook porridge with water. But in this case, it is necessary to include something protein in breakfast. For example, an egg (boiled, soft-boiled, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs - as you like) or cottage cheese. If you don’t like ordinary cottage cheese, you can buy sweet cottage cheese, but look for those that have less sugar. Another option is to cook porridge with low-lactose milk (it is sold).
By the way, if you limit yourself in fats and cholesterol, you can cook an omelet from eggs without yolk. All athletes eat like this because they need a lot of protein. This is a completely dietary dish and absolutely harmless if the kidneys are working normally. But with muesli, be careful. There is a lot of sugar and other light carbohydrates. Buy regular unsweetened cereal and top it with hot milk or water.
Lunch. Best of all - fruits and dairy products. For example, a jar of yogurt or drinking yogurt. If you don’t like yogurt and kefirs (or you don’t have time to look for a snack), you can buy cereal bars that are sold in pharmacies or specialized sports stores marked “for weight control”. Buy 30 pieces at once for a month, they have a huge shelf life - eat them in 3 months. They have the optimal combination of everything that is needed, and you will not get better from them. But be sure to drink them with tea or juice. In the stomach, they swell and give a feeling of satiety for a long time, for about three hours for sure.
Dinner. We must try to eat the soup. It is low-calorie (if it is not hash or kharcho), and also saturates well. Ordinary cabbage soup, borscht, chicken soups. If you're managing weight, the soup should be non-brothy and contain fewer potatoes to limit carbs. Plus a second hot dish - meat, fish or chicken with a side dish. It is preferable to eat a salad for lunch (you can instead of potatoes or pasta for a side dish).
afternoon tea. The same as the second breakfast. A little bit of dried fruit, a piece of cheese, perhaps light cottage cheese or yogurt, maybe fruit tea. Or a cereal bar.
Dinner. In fact, this is the second dish. If you ate meat for lunch, you can have fish or chicken and salad for dinner. It is not recommended for anyone to get involved in carbohydrates for dinner - pasta, rice, etc. In order not to overeat, dinner can be stretched over time. First, eat a salad, then wash the dishes or play with the children, call friends, take a shower - to somehow calm the burning secretion of the stomach. And then eat a piece of fish or meat.
For the night. In order not to wake up from hunger at night, it is advisable to drink something at night, eat - yogurt, kefir, etc. Something low-fat, but satisfying. So that it does not deposit on the stomach, but gives a little feeling of satiety. Because a long night break is not very good.
The problem of excess weight is relevant for many modern people. Every year the number of women increases. There are many reasons for this, and this is not always overeating. In our article, we will talk about the problem of excess weight, about proper nutrition, and also about which foods are most likely to get better, and which, on the contrary, to lose weight.
Reasons for being overweight
There are a lot of reasons why people get fat, it is simply impossible to list them all. Often people recover from the fact that their life passes in the so-called greenhouse conditions. Affordable food, including fast food, lack of exercise, unwillingness to take care of yourself and your health - these are the main components of this problem. Fat accumulates in the body gradually, it is a completely natural and irreversible process. Excess calories that a person does not use remain in the form of deposits on the waist, hips, buttocks, stomach ... This is laid down at the genetic level. Overeating only provokes the accumulation of excess fat. Moreover, if you begin to drastically limit yourself in food, the body will also make “reserves”, which is why many diets are simply ineffective, and after them the weight returns, and several times more lost.
Is it possible to eat and not get fat?
Many would like to know the answer to the question of how to eat and not get fat. Unfortunately, it is simply impossible to say for sure whether it is possible to consume an unlimited amount of food and not get better, because the body of each person is individual and has its own characteristics. First of all, if you want to eat a lot and not get fat, then you need to completely change your life schedule, eat by the clock, engage in active sports. The ideal option is to address this problem to specialists, a nutritionist and a trainer. The first will help to properly compose your diet, choose foods that can and should be eaten. In addition, the doctor will be able to tell you a lot of secrets of proper and dietary nutrition.
Why many get better: possible reasons
The problem of excess weight is, as they say, in your head, not in your stomach. And yet, why do people get fat? The fact is that in the hypothalamus there is a center that controls our appetite. If it does not work at full strength, then a person simply cannot control how much he eats, a feeling of fullness does not come to him. Age also plays an important role in the appearance of extra pounds. After thirty years, the metabolic rate gradually decreases, but nutrition remains the same. Therefore, there is excess weight. In order to avoid this, it is necessary, upon reaching the named age, to radically change your diet and lifestyle in general. This is especially true for people who work in the office and rarely or do not play sports at all.
