At the beginning of spring, nutrition should be as diverse as possible and without restrictions.
Not the Time for Strict Diets
With the end of winter, many begin to pay more attention to their appearance. The season of light clothing and vacations is approaching, and everyone wants to look attractive. However, after the winter holidays, few can boast of an ideal figure and a toned abdomen.
Many believe that the fastest and most effective way to get back in shape is through a strict diet, especially after the holidays. When, if not now, to start?
However, dietitian Alina Zadorozhnyaya warns that March is the most unsuitable month to start a diet.
- At the beginning of spring, everyone, even those who do not suffer from excess weight, should increase their intake of foods rich in vitamins and minerals. This will help avoid vitamin deficiency, which is observed in more than half of Russians at this time of year, - emphasizes the specialist.
How to Eat Properly in March?
The dietitian advises adhering to the principles of healthy eating at all times, but especially at the beginning of spring, straying from them can lead to problems.
Include fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet every day, as well as drink freshly squeezed juices. This will help replenish the necessary nutrient reserves in the body.
Learn the proper combinations of foods. For example, a vegetable salad is the ideal side dish for meat or fish, rather than rice or buckwheat. It is also advisable to avoid fried potatoes and fast food: with such nutrition, you will have to buy a new swimsuit by summer.
Consume foods rich in animal protein at least three times a week. It is better to alternate meat, fish, seafood, and dairy products.
Drink more water. Still water helps activate metabolism, which will simplify the weight loss process by summer even without strict diets.
