Starting a diet is not only about changing your diet, but also about rethinking what should be in your refrigerator.

There is no point in torturing yourself during a diet and giving up delicious food. Therefore, it is worth figuring out which products you should definitely put in your refrigerator before starting a diet.

Green vegetables

The first step to healthy eating is to increase your intake of green vegetables. These include:

1) Spinach.

2) Kale.

3) Lettuce and many others.

All of them are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them an important component of the diet. Plus, they are low in calories and contain a lot of water, which will help you feel more full while dieting.

Low fat proteins

Proteins play a key role in building muscle and keeping you feeling full. You can use:

• fish;
• chicken;
• turkey;
• tofu and others.

They provide important nutrients without excess fat and calories.

Berries

Sweet and juicy berries are the perfect way to satisfy your diet cravings without breaking your diet plan. They contain many useful microelements, while being low in calories and high in water.

Berries can be added to porridge, yoghurt or consumed in their pure form.

Whole grains

Whole grains offer a rich source of carbohydrates that are digested more slowly, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels. So it's worth stocking up on:

1) Oatmeal.

2) Brown rice.

3) Quinoa.

4) Whole grain breads and similar.

They are also rich in fiber, which promotes digestive health.

Healthy fats

You don't have to avoid fats completely when dieting. Healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, nuts, and seeds are essential for heart and brain health.

However, they need to be included in your diet wisely. Excessive consumption of healthy fats can negatively affect the diet.
