It is important to add low-fat dairy and vegetables, like broccoli and tomatoes that prevent certain types of cancer.

Before starting a diet, it is essential to consider that any treatment is a long-term process. Therefore, the diet should be low in calories, to achieve a caloric balance that allows weight loss, burning fat, but also must be a nutritionally adequate diet.

In this sense it is highly recommended that it contains between 50-60% carbohydrate, 15-20% protein, plus a 25-30% fat. Likewise, we must bear in mind that weight loss is key to six meals a day, as we have said on other occasions with maximum intervals not exceeding three hours between intake and the other as this allows a lower caloric intake, causing a drop in total cholesterol and LDL (bad), the greater amount of energy expended in digestion, absorption, conversion and storage of nutrients consumed through food (thermogenesis postprandial) and lower insulin peaks.

Should therefore always make the four main meals-breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner and two snacks a day, a mid-morning and the other in midafternoon. This is achieved with less hunger to reach the next meal size smaller portions, better selection of food to be consumed, and activate the overall energy expenditure.

Before beginning any diet plan for losing or gaining weight, check with your dietitian, the know how to guide.
