I work all day, how to go on a diet?
Those who work all day have no time or have little time, they are stressed, and if they have a family it is a goal to be able to do everything they set out to do during the day. This leads people who have a full time and a life outside of work to ask themselves: how to go on a diet? How to go on a diet if the time to cook is short, the time to think and plan meals is even less, the time to train is scarce or completely absent? Here are some tips that will allow you to follow an easy diet to lose weight and a minimal but effective training plan that does not take you too much time.
An easy diet
plan A very simple diet plan can combine in my opinion two important indications for those who want to lose weight but do not know how to do it: not thinking according to specific foods and weights, but according to the macronutrients and the type of foods
Here’s how to make an effective diet by combining only two things:
1) the cycling of carbohydrates on the example of the Pyramid Diet by Danni Levy , nutritionist, model and personal trainer. Also called the three day diet, it is a very easy example of carbohydrate cycling, which I can summarize as follows. Monday: normal day (carbohydrates should be two grams per pound of body weight, not including fiber).
Tuesday:Â Â moderate low carb day (up to one gram of carbs per pound of body weight)Â Wednesday:Â zero carb day (zero carbs apart from vegetables)Â Thursday, Friday and Saturda
On a normal day, eat a normal but not excessive amount of carbohydrates;Â on a moderate day, fruit and vegetables, plus a slice or two of bread;Â on the zero-carb day only vegetables, but no fruit, no cereals, no simple sugars.
For example, if you work and stay out all day, the plan could be this:
Breakfast: two slices wholemeal bread with half a smoothie banana or other fruit with a few drops of lemon juice and two or three tablespoons of ricotta. A coffee macchiato or tea with lemon without sugar.
Lunch: a sandwich + a salad of lettuce only and a coffee. Or a not too elaborate first course and a coffee.
Dinner:Â meat or fish or two eggs or low-fat cheese or 170 grams of boiled legumes with a large side dish of vegetables or salad with a mix of proteins and vegetables.
Fruit-based snacks throughout the day.Â
This for the first day. The second eliminates the sandwich lunch or the first, and re-proposes the dinner scheme. Snacks and breakfast unchanged. The third day is zero carb. So snacks based on cucumbers and not fruit, breakfast with ricotta cream or Greek yogurt worked with spices or a spoonful of cocoa and sweetener, water and lemon, coffee or tea.
2) the naturalness of food. Look for less industrial and more natural foods based on the Eat Clean philosophy. Â
Meat and NOT meat preparations. Fresh fish and non-prepared fish. Cereals, legumes, fresh and seasonal fruit and vegetables. For cheeses the same rule: yes to Grana Padano, no to olive-flavored spreadable cheese.
We have therefore seen how to diet despite having little time. On page two we see how to get around.
