Many people would like to know how many calories they consume with their next meal. Various websites and applications help them with this.
Calorie calculators are especially popular among those who want to lose weight. But is there any point in keeping such a detailed count?
Quality not quantity
It turns out that the number of calories consumed has nothing to do with successful weight loss – experts have concluded that the quality of the food eaten is much more important.
Here's the solution: if you want to lose a few pounds, don't eat anything that wasn't cooked by you, and also give up sugar and white bread. On the contrary, you should only increase your consumption of vegetables, fruits and fiber.
Low-fat and low-carbohydrate diets
Instead of following complicated diets or spending hours every day at the gym, try to make sure your plate is dominated by vegetables, whole grains, and meat/fish that you've cooked yourself (this is important because you want to make sure it's cooked without gallons of oil).
As a result, your weight will decrease by 6-7 kilograms within a year. You won’t need to count calories or reduce portions.
Another plus is that as a result of such a “diet” you will be able to lower your blood sugar levels and regulate your blood pressure.
What can you eat?
Among the products that will be beneficial are cereals, eggs, avocado, fish, olive oil, tomatoes, greens, bananas, etc.
Fruits and vegetables contain nutrients, whole grains provide energy and dietary fiber, proteins are essential for muscle, dairy products provide calcium, and healthy fats are important for various body functions, including heart and brain function.
