To make your diet varied, you have to try.

It is necessary to come up with something new every day, go shopping and spend a long time choosing products, regularly stand at the stove...

Or maybe just start eating the same thing?

This is very convenient: you can buy groceries and prepare meals for a week in advance.

No need to constantly make up a menu and waste time on "kitchen" chores. Everything is simple, fast and familiar.

And you won’t have to count calories: a supporter of a monotonous diet already understands how much food he has eaten and how many calories he has received.

So, there are a lot of advantages. However, it is still not worth starting to use the same thing every day. The fact is that such an approach will certainly lead to an undesirable consequence.

The dangers of a monotonous diet

A person who eats the same thing every day runs the risk of developing vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

No matter how useful the few foods you choose may be, they will not be enough to provide your body with enough of the important components.

What is needed is a variety of substances and microelements.

In addition, the transition to a monotonous diet is fraught with disruption of the gastrointestinal tract.

And the unwillingness to diversify one’s diet can lead to a person literally hating those foods that he consumes too often.
