Are you planning to lose weight? So the menu must be correct. What to pay attention to? How to make delicious and healthy food for weight loss? The menu for the week should be varied.
What to look for when preparing a menu?
Everything is quite simple. Products should be chosen fresh and healthy, not too greasy and sweet. The food should be tasty, but not too high in calories.
So there should be meat and fish in the diet. But not too greasy. Both meat and fish should be baked, boiled or stewed. Frying is best avoided. Meat or fish should be served with vegetables or herbs. Meat pasta is not the best option. But meat with boiled broccoli or stewed carrots is what you need.
Of course, the menu should include vegetable dishes. There are many options. Stews, soups, stews, salads, honeycombs, appetizers. The main thing is that the dishes are not very high in calories.
Do not forget about the fruit. Salads, smoothies, light desserts will help quench your thirst for sweets and improve your mood. In addition, the fruits contain many valuable elements.
Dairy products should not be too greasy, but you should not choose skimmed. Cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, milk, various cheeses are useful and can make the menu more interesting.
Cereals give a feeling of satiety, give energy and are great for the first half of the day. You can add a variety of 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 differently. It is important not to starve or overeat.
