It is very common for the weight loss process to be associated with moments of deprivation, hunger and sacrifice. However, losing weight does not have to be synonymous with suffering, and with the right guidelines, it is possible to lose weight and maintain the pleasure of eating.
1. Seek nutritional follow-up
First of all, it is essential to follow up with a nutritionist, as this professional has the foundation to develop a food plan according to your needs and preferences.
2. Vary the ways of preparing food
Thinking about losing weight, you should avoid consuming fried foods. There are several preparation options, so look for ways to diversify over the days. Therefore, you can make baked, boiled or grilled preparations, in addition to investing in fruit-based sauces.
3. Use spices
Ready-made seasonings are usually high in sodium and unhealthy ingredients. Also, some contain excessive amounts of fats and carbohydrates. Therefore, give preference to natural seasonings such as oregano, paprika, thyme, rosemary, among others.
4. Innovate in the kitchen
You can make very different recipes using the same ingredients, in order to avoid food monotony. For example, instead of eating boiled eggs every day, you can make an omelette or scrambled eggs made with a little olive oil and herbs.
Likewise, you can vary the way you consume fruit, both in different types of salads and juices, as well as in natura. This is a way to not get sick of these foods and to stimulate your creativity.
5. Eat your favorite preparations on special occasions
Don't think that you can't eat some food that you're craving, as this type of behavior can lead to some kind of eating disorder.
Therefore, be sure to eat what you like, but save those more caloric foods, such as sweets and treats, for special moments. Also, savor every morsel of these foods and understand that you are free to consume them, so don't carry any feelings of guilt.
