If you want to lose extra pounds but don't want to harm your body, it's important to approach the weight loss process wisely.
One of the diets that will not only help you achieve the desired result, but also make the process of losing weight enjoyable, is the “happy diet”.
What is the "happy diet"?
The Happy Diet focuses on foods that help increase tryptophan levels in the blood.
Tryptophan is an amino acid that plays a key role in the synthesis of serotonin, known as the “happiness hormone.”
In turn, increasing serotonin levels helps improve mood, increase productivity, and even improve the quality of sleep.
Foods Rich in Tryptophan
The “record holders” for tryptophan content include such products as salmon, herring, squid, black and red caviar, hard cheese, nuts (peanuts, almonds, cashews), veal, turkey and rabbit meat, eggs, cottage cheese and yogurt.
Sample menu for the day
According to the requirements of the "happy diet", each of your main meals should consist of a product rich in tryptophan. Here is a simple example.
Breakfast
2 boiled eggs with vegetables (broccoli, tomatoes or spinach).
Dinner
140 grams of baked rabbit with baked vegetables (zucchini, peppers, carrots).
Snack
One fruit (eg apple) and 20 grams of nuts (almonds or cashews).
Dinner
150 grams of fish (salmon or herring) with fresh vegetable salad or vegetable salad with hard cheese and nuts (15 grams).
The "Happy Diet" can be followed for a long time.
Monitor your calorie intake, include “happy” foods in every meal, and you will definitely achieve the desired result.
