Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

The hardest thing is to stop thinking that a healthy diet is associated with a plan. You should think about changing eating habits and choose to eat healthier foods, but in a calm and steady, never to go quickly and thinking it only takes a week to fix everything. Diets do not work for everyone, and they often operate on the short term, the hardest is stabilizing. Changes in eating habits are more effective in the medium and long term.

You can using this tips, how to have a healthy diet from your home.

1) Take a quick lunch
Breakfast is the meal most often ignored, yet studies on successful weight loss show that breakfast is a key element of successful weight control. Instead of skipping your morning meal, try to make a healthy breakfast.

Instead of loading the food with saturated fat and trans fat, like cheese, and red meat, choose good fats like monounsaturated fat (eg olive oil), and polyunsaturated (choose fatty fish and walnuts for omega-3 very good for the heart). We recommend that you eat more than 150 grams of cooked meat, twice a day (no more than 300 grams total per day).

3) Limit the total amount of fat consumed
Reduce or eliminate trans fats and saturated fats is important, but be careful not to over eat good fats either. The healthiest way to reduce fat in your diet is to limit your consumption of oils, butter, margarine, cream, cheese and salad dressings.

4) Use fat-free dairy products
Another useful way to limit your fat intake is to choose dairy products (like cheese, milk, yoghurt and even ice cream) without fat. We recommend not eating more than 2-3 servings per day of dairy products. Women in particular are generally deficient in milk products, which means that their intake of calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients, is absent. Women should therefore make sure to eat at least those 2 or 3 servings of dairy products per day.

But do not confuse “fat free” with “no calories” and then believe that you can eat in unlimited quantities. And if you are fat-free products unpleasant, at least opt for low fat dairy fat (they contain, but less).
