How to do a proper diet if time is running out
We would like to lose weight, or we would like to feel good thanks to a correct diet. We would like to move more.
But: we are tired, we don’t have time, we are stressed, and the eight hours of work or the day lost behind the house, the problems, the children weigh on us all. Honestly, I find more and more people complaining about similar situations: today we are all overwhelmed by so many warnings and obligations to a life according to certain standards that even useful recommendations such as eating less and moving more can only be taken “softly”, to less than not going crazy. Really, it is difficult today to follow a happy, healthy, balanced model of life, if we had to listen to all the bells.
In this article, we see how to make a correct diet in just a few steps , even when time is running out. We will see when we generally have little time to prepare meals and when in general we are out all day, eat out for a meal or two and find ourselves alone for dinner, but with a wolf’s hunger and little desire to cook.
We come to the first case. How to do a proper diet if you are out all day?
Rule number one: we must remember to eat balanced at every meal. Simplifying, even the simplest meal must have a share of carbohydrates, including fruits and vegetables, one of fat and one of proteins.
If you eat out for lunch, these are the options:
– a vegetable-only salad (mixed lettuce and vegetables) with a protein (tuna, eggs, cheese, canned meat or legumes) and corn or potatoes or a packet of crackers or a fruit, + a tablespoon of oil for seasoning. To simplify, avoid mixing too much protein (just to simplify) and choose only one carbohydrate resource from those described. To drink: plain water. Avoid too many vegetables. A little piece of advice that no one has given you. If the dish contains too many tomatoes or too much lettuce, take a few leaves and set them aside, especially if you have a swollen stomach or irritable bowel after lunch. I literally see vegetable wagons when ordering salad.
– a sandwich with bread(of any kind, you don’t have to fixate yourself, but choose a medium size 70 g) preferably toasted ( lower glycemic index) with: a vegetable or a vegetable of your choice (good raw tomato, grilled vegetables), mozzarella or ricotta or even vegan cheese or omelette or seitan + a handful of oil seeds after lunch (10 almonds, 8 pistachios) or a drizzle of oil on the vegetables, which you can put in the sandwich. Also good: 2-3 bruschetta with tomato and rocket, olive oil and natural tuna or feta. – a second course of your choice (if you are in the canteen) which can consist of meat (simple cooking) or fish (ditto) with a side of green leafy vegetables, a slice of bread or a packet of crackers or two tablespoons of potatoes or a fruit such as banana. The carpaccio is also perfect
– a protein bar (yes) with at least 15/20 grams of protein + a fruit of your choice and a dozen almonds.
– a 170 gram whole greek yogurt with at least one fruit of your choice and a dozen almonds.
Even before that, for breakfast, decide on these foods: a whole milk cappuccino with toast and a little jam, a juice and a small toast, a whole yogurt with a cereal bar plus a coffee.
