Great Lent: How to Replace Familiar but Forbidden Products
If you decide to fast, it is important not to give up food, but to replace it with lighter options.
At the same time, you should constantly monitor the condition of your body, since this type of diet is not suitable for everyone.
It is advisable to consult your doctor first to avoid worsening your condition.
It is important to remember that the desire for the strictest restrictions can lead to a deterioration in health and performance even in healthy people.
This statement was made in a conversation with representatives of the portal " Moscow 24 " by nutritionist Antonina Starodubova.
The doctor also reminded in the conversation that one should not consider fasting a therapeutic diet. If a person decides to observe it, but at the same time has problems with his health, then he should immediately seek help.
In addition, the doctor told us how we can replace our usual products during this period.
She reminded that the diet should be balanced so that the body receives proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Soy products, mushrooms and nuts will be beneficial.
Cold-pressed vegetable oils are an excellent source of fats.
You need to eat about 400 g of fruits and vegetables daily. Don't forget about greens and berries.
You need to eat regularly. There should be three meals a day. Healthy snacks are allowed.
You can treat yourself to a Lenten dessert. But here you need to remember about the measure.
