Ten useful tips to lose the extra pounds without too many sacrifices. Eating more snacks a day based on fruit or vegetables is good practice, even if you have to allow yourself even a small transgression a week.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What better time to make good resolutions – like following a healthy diet – than the beginning of the new year? And if the “I love fruit and veg from Europe<\/strong>” program gives us a hand, it will be even easier to lose the extra pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The international project, which promotes the seasonal purchase and consumption of European fruit and vegetables, including organic ones and those with quality brands, provides a handbook full of tips and recipes, to make dieting less stressful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only savory dishes, but also freshly squeezed and centrifuged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fresh fruit in January sees oranges, clementines, cedars, grapefruits, lemons and mandarins in pole position. Without forgetting kiwis, apples and pears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many vegetables to prepare hot soups, side dishes and delicious salads: beets, broccoli, artichokes, carrots, thistles, cauliflowers, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, catalonia, chicory, onions, fennel, Belgian endive and curly endive, lettuce, potatoes, leeks, red chicory, turnips, celery, spinach, Jerusalem artichoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo remedy the Christmas binges – explains nutritionist Federica Avitabile – I recommend a typical day rich in fruit, vegetables and proteins, with no limits on quantity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For breakfast fruit or a smoothie, for lunch lots of vegetables and for dinner an unlimited protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, it is necessary to drink 2 liters of water a day to improve diuresis and reduce renal retention as much as possible \u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How can you resist the January fruit with such warm colors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n the red and orange of citrus fruits, the yellow and green of apples, pears, kiwis and plenty of vegetables. A true concentrate of vitamin C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meals are not skipped for any reason, <\/strong>maybe we reduce the portions, even using smaller dishes than those usually used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legumes and fish can replace animal fats such as red meat and include white meat in the diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The chilli dark chocolate is perfect. Cocoa <\/strong>is healthy<\/strong>, thanks to the high concentration of antioxidants it helps fight aging by counteracting free radicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The chili<\/strong> facilitates digestion and contributes to the improvement of circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the kitchen this spice must not be missing<\/strong>, it enhances the flavors and helps to limit the consumption of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the good proposals we include eating at home more often. Obviously we must not give up on socializing, but for a while we avoid going too often to the bar or restaurant. Then, let’s treat ourselves to a transgression once a week, like a nice pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A creative and tasty idea is to prepare flavored waters<\/strong> by adding pieces of fruit or vegetables, aromatic herbs and spices such as ginger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The procedure is very simple, just leave the water with the fruit or vegetable of your choice to macerate in the refrigerator for a few hours, filter and then drink during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We must not be afraid of weighing ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A study found that people who weigh themselves regularly lose weight better and faster. Let’s do it once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s start with a brisk walk of one hour every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you prefer a sport in particular, even better, it burns calories and helps improve mood by releasing endorphins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The advice is to consume 10-15 grams every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The World Health Organization (WHO) <\/strong>has also included it in the list of foods recommended for a healthy and proper diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, we can use dried fruit as a dressing for salads, to make them more imaginative and tasty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Easy, quick and tasty, we prepare the winter salad with lettuce, fennel, grapefruit, apple and walnuts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wash the lettuce, clean the fennel, cut in half and slice them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peel the grapefruit and apple and cut them into small pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Combine all the ingredients, add the walnuts and season with a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Federica Riccio<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ten useful tips to lose the extra pounds without too many sacrifices.
