A small sacrifice for a great result?
Laura Arndt, a pilates instructor and personal trainer, explains that to keep fit she uses only one trick , and that this one thing has allowed her to lose one size, that is about 5 kilos, in two months, of which the first 3 kilos in the first month.

This is because despite a healthy diet and exercise, Laura had those extra pounds that they didn’t want to go away in any way. She also often had problems with bloating in the belly.

What did she do to lose 3 kg per month and have a flatter stomach? Here is her secret.

HOW TO LOSE 3 KG A MONTH IN ONLY 1 STEP.

Simple. Laura made a little change at dinner. In other words, she moved the dinner time to 5.30 in the afternoon, finishing eating by six. Not an easy thing, no doubt, especially considering that eating at 5.30 is equivalent to having more snack than dinner.
But this was enough to make her lose 3 kg per month, and another two kilos in the following month.
Not only that: the belly has deflated, after the first more stressful days to adapt to the new regime, he sleeps even better, and digest every food better.
After six in the afternoon Laura stops eating, and she resumes eating from breakfast.
She does it practically every day, except on special occasions, such as parties or dinner invitations. When she comes out, she drinks something but she has eaten before.
The most important thing is how to make this meal.

THE TRICKS TO LOSE LOSS WITH THIS METHOD

For the method to work without giving us nutritional deficiencies, here are some practical tips to be able to follow Laura’s example.
The meal should be like a dinner, not a snack. That is, we can not get by with a fruit or a yogurt or worse a snack. Carbohydrates and proteins must be present exactly as if we were having dinner . On the other hand, it is difficult to be very hungry at that time, or to think that you can eat roast with potatoes at half past five in the afternoon. Especially for the first few days it is normal to feel hungry then around nine or ten. Help yourself with a herbal tea, the time that the body regulates itself on the new rhythm of meals.Below I give you some ideas for this early dinner. Breakfast and lunch, with a mid-day snack are free. These tips apply to dinner only.

1. Sandwich: a sandwich with 50-60 grams of wholemeal bread, 60-70 grams of bresaola or the same weight of natural grilled tofu, tomatoes and salad, plus 200 ml of sugar-free apple juice or a small kiwi or a piece of dark chocolate .
   Other alternative fillings to our sandwich: 150 grams of egg white omelette, or an egg or egg white omelette. A tin of natural tuna mixed with a teaspoon of light mayonnaise or mustard. 50 grams of chopped feta or primosale cheese. 60 grams of smoked salmon. More grilled or raw vegetables. In this way we make a meal of about 400/450 calories which, however, is complete.
2. Meal replacement smoothie. Ideal for those who cannot eat salty at half past five in the afternoon. Blend 150 grams of skimmed Greek yogurt or 100 grams of cottage cheese with 100 grams of peeled pear, 50 grams of avocado, one scoop of Super Greens Powder Complex freeze-dried vegetables and one teaspoon of honey. A chocolate recipe can be found here. 300 calories maximum in all.
3. Yogurt parfait. It is a combination of a cold porridge and a fruit salad. Take a very large glass, pour in a tablespoon of Greek yogurt with 2% fat, white, previously sweetened with stevia. Then pour 150 grams of fruit including kiwi, peach, strawberries, red fruits, fresh plums, cut into small pieces, a level spoonful of oat flakes, the rest of the yogurt, and finish with another spoonful of oat flakes or muesli. We combine this 300-calorie meal with a juice of cucumbers, fennel and ginger.
4. Mini aperitif. A mixed dish to accompany a cucumber and pineapple juice or organic apple juice. On a plate, place two Wasa slices or two rice cakes with a teaspoon of guacamole, hummus, or almond / peanut butter. Separately, make a bowl of carrots, celery, radishes or raw cucumbers or cherry tomatoes. Add to all 40 grams of chopped Parmesan cheese. Total calories: 440.
