Remember: if you once again decided to lose weight and failed again, this does not mean that you have no willpower.

Instead of blaming yourself, we suggest you get acquainted with an effective method that will help you not to break your diet.

It sounds like this: “Fewer calories – more food.”

Although it may seem paradoxical, it is the volume of food that satiates us: receptors in the stomach signal the brain that it is full.

This is why when people go on a diet and immediately start eating small portions, they often break down.

But what if instead of reducing portion sizes, we increase them and at the same time try to change the quality of food, making it less caloric and richer in fiber?

Try, at least as an experiment, to eat the recommended 5 servings of vegetables every day.

Vegetables can be added to a variety of dishes: cutlets, meatballs, mashed potatoes, stews, casseroles, scrambled eggs, even desserts and cocktails.

This will significantly reduce the caloric content of the latter, and the body will receive the necessary fiber, which is slowly absorbed and helps maintain a feeling of satiety longer.
