As the high temperatures and the summer season approach, we are progressively concerned about our physical appearance and whether we will wear the bikini with a thin and thin body. In the rush we tend to pay attention to miracle diets and products that often harm us more than help us. The key to staying lean and healthy lies in following, throughout the year, a diet that is balanced.
For a balanced diet to be balanced, it must consist of foods that provide our body with each and every one of the nutrients necessary to obtain optimal health. This type of diet must be varied, focusing, above all, on fresh and seasonal products.
A balanced diet is the basis of any diet
If we want to follow a long-term eating routine so that we consider not only reaching a goal of reducing weight but also complementing it for healthy purposes, we will most likely find the best advice and follow-up in nutrition professionals. After all, the regimes depend on multiple variables such as sex, height, weight, weather, our lifestyle or age.
However, we can manage to give a series of general guidelines that tend to be common to the vast majority of existing balanced diets. For the amount of nutrients that we contribute to our body to be balanced, proteins must represent a caloric intake of around 15%, carbohydrates (or carbohydrates) must provide at least 55% of the calories ingested and, finally, fats should not exceed 30%.
In the variety is the success
It must be clear, in the first instance, that there are usually no specific foods that are perfect for a diet or that are prohibited, the key is that the set adapts to our needs. There must be a series of products that fundamentally mark the line to follow and others that can be complementary and that, therefore, may appear sporadically in our regimes.
It is feasible to follow a series of basic guides through which to understand the foods that can be complementary and those that can be more common. You have to avoid eating red meat more than once a day and try to combine them, and even replace them, with turkey, chicken or fish. We will have to ensure the exchange of fatty dairy products for skimmed ones. Fruits and vegetables should be abundant in our eating routine.
Cooking is also transcendental, the most advisable being the grill, boiling and oven. Finally, we must reduce the consumption of bakery products and sweets to exceptional occasions.
