Although we are already halfway through summer, not everyone among us has yet managed to achieve the desired swimsuit figure. If you see yourself in this situation, don’t hesitate, and try the revolutionary protein‑vitamin diet.
From the very name of this diet it is clear what the food consumed during it will consist of. By taking in proteins and vitamins your body will obtain the necessary amount of nutrients and fiber. This type of food primarily supports digestion and helps to speed up metabolism.
How to do it?
At the outset it is important to point out that no weight loss is possible without fluid intake. During the entire diet don’t forget to drink water. You can add lemon or lime to your glass in addition to it.
Vegetables and fruit contain minerals that have an antioxidant, i.e. cleansing effect on your body. Thanks to fructose and fiber, which are the basis for a healthy metabolism, your body will already look noticeably better after a few days. In fruit, besides invaluable natural vitamins, there is also an amount of fluids that is good to consume especially during increased physical activity. Compared to diets containing more carbohydrates, they also satiate better.
Meal plan
In practice, all types of vegetables are good for you, such as beets, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant or root vegetables. From fruit you should especially choose apples, oranges, tangerines, citrus fruits, berries and watermelon, which is rich in water. However, not every fruit helps ideally when trying to lose weight. Try to avoid grapes, almonds or mango. These types of fruits are known for their high carbohydrate content.
You should expand your eating habits to include protein‑rich foods. Eat poultry, lean meat, fish, eggs, quark, yogurts, cottage cheese, low‑fat cheeses and high‑quality ham.
Foods to avoid!
If you want to lose weight and at the same time want your weight loss to be effective and long‑term, avoid these foods: bread, cereals, flakes, rice, sauces, mayonnaise, ketchup, dressings, sweets, high‑fat dishes, fatty meat and confectionery. It is also not recommended to drink coffee, tea with sugar, alcohol and sweetened soft drinks. Although this will be difficult for you at first, later you will not even be able to imagine that you could ever have eaten otherwise!
