How to recognize an effective diet?
In my experience and according to what many of you say, the most effective diet is like a revolution, but slow.
Small tricks and small changes that over time have transformed our daily life.

An example: cooking things instead of buying industrial preparations, knowing how to read labels better, having curiosity for new foods, being able to move more .

But when we are “swallowed up” by our daily life, the temptation to make a new diet rather than change habits little by little is strong . And often you lose weight and then regain it.

This does not necessarily mean that no diet will help us, but that we must be able to recognize a good diet from an unbalanced diet. There is no point in expecting miracles or even switching from one diet to another like a change of clothes, a common mistake.

All of this threatens our health and therefore our metabolism.
Let’s put the case in which we have chosen to go on a diet also to modernize our routine and because we cannot change anything otherwise. Where we want to lose weight, we are eager to see results. And finally we have chosen a balanced, varied and complete diet, which does not starve us.

What EVER could possibly go wrong at this point?

According to American dieticians and nutritionists Gareth Nicholas, Helen Ford, Lucy Jones and Jane Michell,  to make an effective diet we must also keep an eye on some situations, typical of modern life.

Here’s how to make the diet work!

HOW TO MAKE YOUR DIET EFFECTIVE IN 5 STEPS

1. If you poke all the time.

   Don’t have sweets and savory snacks close at hand, that is, at home, even if you have children. On the contrary, you can make muffins, creams or biscuits with better ingredients, prepare chopped fruit, fruit-only ice creams and frozen bananas in order to indulge in the sin of gluttony if you don’t want to stray your diet.
   If you don’t have high blood pressure, use licorice logs as a hunger breaker as well.
   Or make snacks that nourish and satiate you, like 15 gr. of almonds.

2. Go to work in the office.
   

   The office is devastating, I tell you this from personal experience.
   Between coffee breaks, work stress, colleagues who bring cookies and delicacies, improvised lunches at the bar below, aperitifs to let off steam, the diet goes to bless you. I don’t know what is worse then, whether to find yourself eating in the office or gorging yourself once back home, but the fact is that our work often causes the diet to fail.
   Unfortunately there is no way to control ourselves, because if we rely only on our self-control we are fresh, especially if we already follow a diet and therefore feel deprived.

   Instead, laziness must be overcome and anticipated.
   Raw carrots to reduce cholesterol, fennel to drain, coffee breaks at the bar and a small sweet treat that we can take off by chewing a couple of plums or two dates or even asking for a coffee with cream and drinking it bitter.
   For lunch, some “smart” sandwiches made of wholemeal bread, only vegetables and a veil of guacamole or a hard-boiled egg to be peeled at the moment. Or choose a carpaccio of bresaola or a mix of grilled vegetables with chicken breast if we really have to eat at the bar or at the diner.
