Have you been on a buckwheat diet, counting every calorie, but the weight kept coming back?
All because you cut out carbohydrates, and they are the key to slimness. Yes, you heard right!
Whole wheat pasta, whole grain bread and even potatoes can be your allies. The secret is when and what to eat them with .
The body needs carbohydrates in the morning and after training. Breakfast of pasta with vegetables will give you energy for the whole day, and a portion of baked potato after the gym will restore muscles. But if you eat a plate of spaghetti at night, they will turn into fat.
Another life hack is to add fiber to carbohydrates. For example, sprinkle bran on pasta or eat bread with avocado. Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar, and you stay full longer.
Try the Smart Carb Diet:
- Breakfast: Oatmeal with berries and a spoonful of peanut butter.
- Lunch: buckwheat with chicken and cabbage salad.
- Dinner: baked fish with stewed vegetables.
Once a day, a piece of black bread or a portion of pasta is allowed. After a month of such a diet, you will lose up to 10 kg without hunger and breakdowns.
But why are carbohydrates so important? They feed the brain and maintain levels of serotonin, the hormone of happiness. Without them, you feel tired, irritable, and constantly crave sweets.
By the way, potatoes are not an enemy if you cook them right. Boil them in their skins, cool them and add olive oil with herbs. Cooled potatoes contain resistant starch, which acts as a prebiotic, improving digestion.
And don't forget about water! Carbohydrates retain fluid in the body, so drink at least 2 liters a day. Add parsley or celery to your diet - they naturally remove excess water.
