Don't Forget These 3 Nutrition When Dieting

Diet is not prohibited but make sure that the body still gets the intake of vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients. To lose or maintain weight, besides exercise, what we eat or not has a very important role. Because, a good weight-loss diet is a diet that is not only good for our abdominal circumference or waist, but also for other parts of our body. In addition, a good diet must also offer many healthy choices and do not require a list of expensive and varied supplements or food additives. And even though we are on a diet desperately, try to keep these various nutrients into our bodies.

Calcium

Everyone must consume calcium. This one mineral helps in building strong bones and teeth, ensures normal blood clotting, and regulates muscle contractions (including heart rate). Unfortunately, when we are dieting, the body is at risk of not getting enough calcium. In fact, one study showed calcium-rich products, but low in fat can help reduce body fat, although it is still not considered effective in reducing weight. There are also other studies that show that calcium can prevent overweight and obesity. What foods contain calcium? In addition to milk and cheese, we can get calcium from yogurt, green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, tofu, soybeans, and sardines.

Fiber

Eat more fiber is claimed to be able to lose weight in a healthy manner. Until now it was believed that those who consumed more fiber tended to have a healthy weight. It is even believed that eating more fiber (without changing other food components), can lose weight nearly as much as that produced by a heart-friendly low fat diet. This diet is recommended by the American Heart Association. Did you know that high-fiber foods tend to be more filling than low-fiber foods? This way, you will feel full longer and tend to eat less. In addition, foods high in fiber tend to be low in calories. That means you don't need to be afraid of getting fat. Well, if you want to slim down by eating fiber, close to corn, kidney beans, avocados, edamame beans, brown rice, whole wheat, pears, oatmeal, apples, and broccoli.

Protein

High-protein foods can actually help control our weight. According to studies at Harvard, eating a portion of protein-rich snacks such as peas, beans, or lentils can make us full. Even weight can be more easily controlled. But, carefully choose foods that contain protein. Don't eat too much or often eat red meat or processed meat, because even if it also contains protein, our weight can actually increase. It is recommended that we consume protein from nuts, seeds, eggs, low-fat milk, soybeans, legumes, seafood, and lean meat. It's okay to lose weight, but never forget the body's need for healthy and balanced nutrition. Moreover, some nutrients like the one above are believed to help your diet, you know!
