- The body will then use energy on a regular basis, deriving its deficit from adipose tissue. Thanks to this, there will also be a sharp drop in blood glucose levels, which may result in attacks of wolf's appetite - says Anna Wybrańska, a nutritionist at Pharma Nord. - It's best to divide the daily ration over 5 meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 snacks (lunch and afternoon tea).
The most important thing is breakfast, also while losing weight
It should contain complex carbohydrates, which provide a lot of iron, fiber and sugars that are the only fuel for the brain (whole grain bread, vegetables), and protein - needed to build all tissues, including muscles (eggs, meats and dairy).
Do not skip dinner while losing weight
By eating 4 hours before bedtime, we force the body to work, thus maintaining the metabolism at an appropriate level until the end of the day. Dinner should contain a lot of protein and vegetable carbohydrates (salad with meat, fish or egg). When protein is digested, there is little or no insulin output, so all energy is used, not stored. In the evening we do not eat cereals and fruit.
