Healthy Diet
A system with plenty of vegetables and fruit, along with the practice of light exercise, are the most appropriate tools to combat abuses of Christmas gourmet
Try to resist the delicious menus to ensure Christmas celebrations is as improbable as ignoring a tray of candy every time we passed it. Therefore, the shock to get on the scales and find that needle goes longer than normal is a tradition once the holiday whirlwind. And if food were not enough, the inactivity that often accompanies the holiday period is the worst companion of abuse calories, so January will not only climb the slope is economic, but also establish a good cut of food. Although suddenly restrict food is not always the best option.
Avoid consumption of certain foods, moderation in food rations and heavy supply of vegetables is effective if purchased as a habit. Schemes and miracle products are elements of fiction as much as our imagination to dream of them. In addition to the reprimands of consciousness, enjoy a good meal has so often result in embarrassment or indigestion, “but its impact is limited in the long term,” says Sonia Gaztambide endocrine, unless there is “a complication previous illnesses, which could lead to a drop or pancreatitis, “the most serious effects of ingestion exorbitant.
But the general rule states that ‘once a year, as you say, does no harm’, confirmed the doctor. The damage extended to health is discarded, while another arises, the psychological, which requires unwittingly deprived of essential nutrients with a consequent weakening of the organism. Imprudent, if not carried out by medical pre-scription.
The first step to any weight loss plan is to forget consumed laxatives and derivatives ‘motu proprio’.
That of “cleanse the body ‘does not exist. “It’s terminology that makes no sense. The body already has a system for disposal of products that do not need. What causes weight gain calories are deposited as fat.
And this phenomenon has only one solution. “Be careful what you eat, restricting certain foods such as bread and sweets and eat salads, fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water”, says the specialist. The visual deception plays a major role here. Fill well plate with lettuce leaves, cabbage or endive creates such an impact on the mind, that satiety is increased, an effect also facilitated by its high fiber content.
Among fruits, the pineapple is particularly successful, which is full of juice, a pulp rich in meat and fiber and no fat, which also helps meet before the stomach, except that their presence is often found in the tables attached to this time in the popular heritage. In fact, fruit is one of the most experienced sales growth in the days after Christmas and New Year.
Plates always
The choice of the salad has been so full acceptance as a first course, and even as a single dish, that his presence in the letters of the finest restaurants is a trend that saves more than one fall back into temptation and gluttony at this time. “People throw a lot of salads after Christmas, far more than the cooked vegetables or vegetable soup, but it’s a hobby that lasts fifteen days. In the end, return to the usual dishes, “says Andoni Arrieta, chef of the restaurant at the Hotel Sheraton Bilbao.
Moreover, the accumulation of calories not only relates to the type of food. “What is the form of fat cooking. No es lo mismo a la plancha, which batter or sauce, the caloric intake varies greatly, “added Arrieta.
Only steamed is saved from an increase in fat, a type that rarely convinces lovers of gastronomy. At that, fool with a good sauce is the recommendation of the chef, but with oil and vinegar dressing is much healthier.
Resort to force of will can be the main weapon to adapt to the new diet, but also hurts the help of other customs. “Moderate physical activity is ideal in combination with food restriction to combat excess weight”, says Sonia Gaztambide. Half an hour’s walk can be the start of a sport which should never exceed the capacity of each. Forcing the machine opens the door to chronic injuries that do nothing to help a greater well-being.
“Moreover, if a person is on a diet has to be established a nutritional study in order to combine with exercise,” he stresses Angeles Paterson, nutritionist at the School of Sports Medicine, University of Oviedo. Paterson warns of “danger” of combining programs hypocaloric with uncontrolled physical wear.
Better time to remedy. Back to the usual weight is easy with a little sacrifice of a couple of weeks. But before contributing to the growing sedentary lifestyle and prevent relapse unwanted ideally make a long-term goal and maintain control and physical activity throughout the year. An effort which allows any given whim. From time to time.
Risks of exercise
The obsession with weight loss has two key dates in the calendar: the two months following the holidays and the two previous summer. Reduced periods that fail to model the body despite the belief, because the effort brings success only if physical activity is progressive and continuous, consistent with a balanced diet. “These days postnavideños, the flow is dramatic: people are pointing to several classes followed in order to lose more weight, but overexertion can have serious health consequences that are not taken into account ‘, provides Marta Gomez, monitors aerobics.
Advise teachers of physical difficulties and inquire about the right exercises is crucial to prepare for a gym class. Once chosen the program you must combine two types of activities. “To lose weight it is advisable to combine aerobic exercise with calories that are lost, with the tonic, used to harden the muscles” recommends Gomez. Aerobics, spinning, jogging, bicycle and tape are disciplines that fall into the first group, while the ‘lift-training’, aerobics and weight-lifting weights, are part of the second.
But with one caveat: do not abuse the spinning, now in full swing, demanding a severe stress that needs to be regulated. “Wear a lot. If in an aerobics class lose 400 calories in a spinning consumed 1,000 and it is impossible to recover in a day. Requires alternately performed, “explained the specialist. In any case, losing weight is not about fitness, “but not biting, not eating bread or buns. For many abs are made, does not result in weight reduction.
