Are you planning to lose weight? The menu must therefore be correct. What to pay attention to? How to make delicious and healthy food for weight loss? The menu of the week must be varied.
What to look for when preparing a menu?
Everything is quite simple. Products should be chosen fresh and healthy, not too fatty and sweet. Food should be tasty, but not too high in calories.
So, in the diet must be meat and fish. But not too greasy. Meat and fish should be baked, boiled or stewed. Frying is to be avoided. Meat or fish should be accompanied by vegetables or herbs. Meat pasta is not the best option. But meat with boiled broccoli or stewed carrots is what you need.
Of course, there should be vegetable dishes on the menu. There are many options. Stews, soups, stews, salads, stir-fries, appetizers. The main thing is that the dishes are not high in calories.
Don't forget the fruit. Salads, smoothies, light desserts will quench your thirst for sweets and improve your mood. In addition, fruits contain many valuable elements.
Dairy products should not be too fat, but you should not choose fat-free either. Cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, milk, various cheeses are all useful and can make the menu more interesting.
Cereals give a feeling of satiety, give energy and are ideal for the first half of the day. You can add various vegetables, berries, fruits and dried fruits to cereals.
It is best to eat five times a day. Three main meals and two snacks. But you can make a menu in a different way. It is important not to starve or overeat.
