1. A good diet plan: Your weight-loss diet plan should be varied, healthy, and balanced. You should control and limit the amount of fat you consume by finding better food substitutes. For example, replace cream with fat-free yogurt or vegetable cream. To season salads, forget creamy dressings and simply drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
It's important to think about the way you prepare your food too - focus on raw or steamed foods to reduce fat content. This type of diet is very healthy because it conserves the minerals and vitamins of the foods that the body needs.
You also need to limit your sugar intake so stop adding sugar to your tea and coffee and avoid cakes and processed foods which are often rich in fat and sugar. Finally, replace all refined cereals (bread, pasta, rice ...) with whole grains, not only because they contain more vitamins, minerals, but also fibres, which will leave you feeling fuller for longer.
