A menu on a plate or three bowls

These are the best way to organize your diet without breaking your head. It allows you to easily apply the Harvard dish, one of the best formulas to know how to eat in a balanced way without the hassle of counting calories. Use a large bowl for the vegetables (salad, cooked vegetables, cream of vegetables ...) and two small bowls, one for cereals and legumes (it is a garnish size) and another for protein (egg, meat, fish ...) .  And if you do not want to put it in bowls, you can use a medium plate (about 20 centimeters). For dessert, always fruit or natural yogurt without sugar.

Much more attractive and tasty vegetables

They have to be the basis of our diet, so it is very important that we feel "tempted" to eat them, that they are very attractive and succulent. And the secret for it to be so is the seasonings (and although it was not a big secret, there is a study by American scientists that corroborates it). It uses light dressings such as citrus or mustard vinaigrette and other natural dressings such as bay leaf, thyme, curry, turmeric ... Let's not forget that the presentation is also important.

Eat (more) legumes

At least twice a week and, ideally, between 3 and 4. Legumes are very satiating because their carbohydrates are assimilated slowly, making us take much longer to be hungry. Instead of fats such as chorizo, bacon ..., accompany them with spinach, broccoli, cabbage or Swiss chard. They are foods rich in lipoic acid, a substance that influences metabolic activity. This combination - legumes and green vegetables - has been found to help you lose weight faster as long as the diet as a whole is balanced.  If you need ideas to eat more legumes, here are seven.

Don't stop tapas, make the vermouth

Idealica Lose you Extra Body Fat. You lose weight faster if the method you choose to do it does not break with your lifestyle. Therefore, if you have a habit of tapas or vermouth with friends (now by video call), keep that habit and enjoy the "vitamin S", that of having good friendship ties. Of course, choose light tapas (grilled artichokes, mussels, cockles, flags ...), have no more than a glass of wine or beer, or choose the non-alcoholic version and skip the meal later. If after a couple of hours you feel hungry, grab a piece of fruit with a handful of nuts.

Take a nap

Depending on how your lifestyle is, you may need to regain this healthy habit. If you sleep between 6.30 and 7 hours at night, a short 20-minute nap after eating can complete your rest and make you feel more active throughout the day. And if you are less tired, you eat less, you have less cravings ... And keep in mind that in the afternoon we are more hungry precisely because our energy level falls.
