One day Maya Plesetskaya, a famous Russian ballerina, was asked how she manages to keep herself in such a wonderful shape, what kind of diet she uses. And Maya Plesetskaya replied: "My diet is simple - don't eat!" Location: Location:

Rough, of course, but it makes sense. It's all about how much we eat and what. The young generation obsessed with diets forgets about the first rule of nutrition - nutrition must be strictly balanced. This means that the amount of calories introduced into the body must correspond to the energy expenditure of the body. And if you decide to lose weight, which is what most of humanity is doing now, then, accordingly, you need to spend more calories than you consume.

In addition, the quality of the calories consumed must be considered. So the most useful are fruit and vegetable calories. The most unhealthy are the calories contained in fats. And, nevertheless, it is absolutely impossible to give up fat. Since the body must receive from them some valuable elements such as unsaturated fatty acids.

However, the ratio of fats, proteins and carbohydrates in the food consumed must be strictly calculated. Excessive protein intake, for example, puts unnecessary stress on the kidneys. And excess fat can also negatively affect the liver.

There are also so-called low-carb diets that limit the consumption of bread and baked goods. But bread contains not only simple and complex carbohydrates, but also amino acids, B vitamins, fiber, minerals, vegetable fats necessary for the body.

It should be noted that dietitians advise choosing whole grain bread or bran bread from bread products. They include unrefined grain, the skin of which has the highest percentage of vitamin B and minerals. In addition, coarse bread works well on the intestinal walls. A physically active person needs to eat 300 g of rye bread per day, while losing weight - 200 g.
