1- Attacking the pantry: You definitely have a pantry or closet where you store your groceries. Visualize everything you have and let’s go on the attack: Write down what you could exchange on your next trip to the supermarket. For example, traditional cream will be replaced by light cream. Regular biscuits for diet or wholemeal biscuits, regular chocolate for diet chocolate, regular soda for light or zero soda, whole carton milk for skimmed milk, fruit in regular syrup for fruit in light syrup, common sweetener and culinary sweetener must be usual, margarine common for light margarine, Minas cheese for cottage, traditional coconut milk for light coconut milk, traditional grated dry coconut for light grated dry coconut, and so on.

2– Liquids: Complementing your diet with juices is also the wisest and simplest way to stay well fed and maintain weight. In order to have a daily intake of around 2.5 liters of liquids, we get a good part of this total contained in the food we eat, the water we drink and juices. Avoid drinking liquids during meals.

3- Recommendations: Losing weight without compromising your health is only possible by combining physical activity, diet and, in some cases, medication. Never use medicines on your own. Guidance from a specialized professional is essential. A nutritionist can help you live better and healthier. Only he will be able to create personalized menus that best suit your needs.

4- Reducing fat content: Reduce the fat content of foods and slim down your favorite desserts. See some examples: in 1 spoon (coffee) of regular margarine there are 36 calories while in light margarine in the same proportion there are 18 calories. A slice of Minas cheese has 93 calories. and the cottage has 21 cal. In a glass of whole milk there are 152 cal while skimmed milk in the same proportion has 90 cal.

5- Cakes and Pies: A simple cake (without syrup, filling and topping) is allowed, but be aware that industrialized cake has fewer calories than homemade cake. Homemade cake contains 307 calories while industrialized cake has 195 calories (1 medium slice). Cakes with fillings and creams represent 420 calories per piece. In cheesecake, replace 400 grams of cream cheese which contains 1,200 calories with ricotta which has 600 calories. Diet jellies are good for fillings or toppings containing approximately 12 calories per tablespoon. Instead of making traditional pie dough, make it with crackers or crushed toast.

6- Chocolate: Chocolate-filled biscuits should be avoided (filled and buttery biscuits). Invest in whole-grain crackers. A slice of simple chocolate cake has 147 calories while 100 grams of milk chocolate bar with hazelnuts has 507 calories, so choose the piece of cake. Chocolate powder; invest in diet powder. Replace chocolate flan with a glass of skimmed milk with 1 tablespoon of light chocolate milk and you will save 54 calories. Dark chocolate has less cholesterol and more cocoa, an excellent antioxidant. Milk chocolate has a high glycemic index, which triggers hunger spikes. See here on the website: Diet chocolate mousse

7- Condensed milk and cream: Three tablespoons of cream = 225 calories. Three tablespoons of whipped cream = 270 calories. In desserts like fruit salad, for example, replace the cream or whipped cream with fruit juice with half a container of low-fat yogurt. A tablespoon of condensed milk in a fruit salad is allowed, but opt ​​for more watery fruits such as melon, watermelon, pear or apple. Try it Light Condensed Milk for Sweets: 1 cup (tea) of skimmed milk powder; ¾ cup (tea) of hot water; ½ tablespoon of light margarine; 1 cup (tea) sweetener (oven and stove); 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence. Blend all the ingredients in a blender and refrigerate the mixture for 12 hours. Ready! You can make brigadeiro, beijinho or other sweets of your choice.

8 – Fruits: Give preference to fresh fruits. You can prepare natural juices, but you need to be more careful, as in the form of juice the amount of fruit consumed is usually greater than when consumed fresh. To avoid overdoing the amount of sugar present in fruits (fructose), use a maximum of two portions of fruit and dilute the juice pulp in water or coconut water, adding sweetener if necessary.

9- Meals: Meals should be eaten in quiet and unhurried places. Chew each bite several times, this will make you feel full by eating the right amount of food.
Salads: To encourage salad consumption, try to make it very colorful, adding pieces of fruit such as sliced ​​pears, orange segments, chopped mango, raisins. Avoid adding ready-made industrial sauces, prioritizing olive oil in moderation, vinegar, lemon or balsamic vinegar. You can choose to prepare a healthy sauce, based on low-fat yogurt.
Fish: Consume fish rich in Omega3 such as salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines and tuna.

10- Physical activity: Physical activity is essential to maintain a healthy life. Escaping a sedentary lifestyle stimulates circulation and general well-being. Physical work in gyms must be carried out with professional supervision, respecting individual characteristics, the limits imposed by age and the physical conditions of each individual. Walk!! It’s free!! Walk for 1 hour, at least 3 times a week. Know that nothing is easy and the work on yourself is long and often hard. Always remember that miracles only occur with the grace of God.
