Healthy diet, how to do it without losing your mind
One of the big dangers of being on a diet is becoming “orthorexic”, or developing that fanaticism (or that series of fanaticisms) for food that leads us to gradually narrow the range of our food possibilities, increasing the list of foods not and finding food with increasing difficulty, yes. After calorie restriction, dietary orthorexia is the second thing to avoid like the plague . Don’t get me wrong: it is absolutely GOOD to avoid eating a lot of industrially prepared things , which have nothing to do with real food. But the environment does not help us: organic costs a fortune for many products, and has not yet become accessible as a frequent expense for most of us.I would never have the courage to tell a housewife to go grocery shopping. And, alas, not even to favor the local. I literally can’t spend twenty or thirty euros just for raw milk cheeses, thirty for fish, the same for meat, and then plenty of fruit and vegetables, milk tapped from some farm (where I live doesn’t exist milk on tap), algae and seeds. Obviously I’m not the only one, but like everyone I want to live healthy.
Why is a healthy diet important?Because it’s the only way to lose weight and feed yourself at the same time. Have you ever wondered how nutritious what you bring to your mouth is? Probably that sandwich you are eating is as nutritious as a gummy candy, and then it is not incomprehensible that the body catalogs everything as excess sugar, while with the speleologist’s light it wanders in search of some good protein or healthy vitamin among many antinutrients. Which, for heaven’s sake, unless you live on a farm very far from the first inhabited center, it is almost impossible to avoid antinutrients.
TEN WAYS TO MAKE A HEALTHY FOOD
1) Learn to organize yourself: take an afternoon or a day to do a healthy shopping and cook some foods that you will then freeze for the week. You will save a lot of time. You can cook and freeze legumes, doughs (often after the first rising), chopped vegetables, and green leafy vegetables previously boiled for a few minutes.
2) Avoid brewer’s yeast and baking powder in sachets:try to knead the bread yourself using sourdough or sourdough. I know that now you would like to send me to that country. But there are very simple types of sourdough to make, like this one . Or, you can see if there is a sourdough dealer in your area by looking for it here. For natural baking powder, there are very easy recipes that involve the use of baking soda .
4) Use natural sugars: quality honey, molasses, maple syrup, but also coconut sugar or brown sugar. Here comes the organic.
5) Eat seasonal fruit and vegetables: it costs less.
6) Buy carrots, fennel and celery in addition to normal vegetables : they are cheap and are very good if eaten raw.
7) Buy the legumes in bulk, and treat them before cooking: the ideal is to make them sprout, same thing for cereals, but the price of loose legumes is lower than that in bags. Canned ones are to be avoided like the plague.
8) Yes to the right fats: cold extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, butter, lard. Yes, butter and lard are also useful for metabolism.
9) What proteins? Avoid buying poor quality cured meats, packaged mozzarella and low-fat spreadable cheeses. They suck and poison you. If you have to stay in the budget yes to free-range eggs, full-fat and aged cheeses from the refrigerated counter, preferably from local companies, final cuts of cured meats, meat bones to make a substantial weekly broth, mackerel, sardines and anchovies in olive oil, natural tuna, and yogurt yogurt yogurt. Natural.
10) Avoid any product that has more than three items in the ingredient list. It is not difficult (said the one who bought the fake pesto), but it is the only way to avoid taking vegetable oils that slow down the metabolism, an excess of sugars and emulsifiers that are bad. This is done before trying to identify the various items.
