Preference should be given foods that contain large quantities of low-calorie and good nutrients: vegetables, fruits, fish, white meats and other lean meats, but also cereals, preferably whole. Not demonize, but to be taken with great moderation, the fats, which are the largest suppliers of calories.
Healthy With Food
There are foods “unfairly” blamed?
If one wants to lose weight should stay away from all foods rich in fat, those who have so many calories in small amounts. Many tend to underestimate them, as those who eat a plate of pasta after a piece of cheese and say, ‘Do not even eat the food. ” That’s a dish and how! Not speaking of food, wine and spirits give us calories during a diet does not serve us: they can also have beneficial effects, but must be kept away.

How to try again to convince those who have already failed with many diets?
The very fact that a person comes from a dietitian is motivation: the doctors should not “send” patients from the dietician, but to create in them a question of weight loss. Fortunately, the summer is an incentive to treat the aesthetic: one look and began to diet.

Supplements or substitutes for meals?
Premise that diets do-it-yourself is not recommended, since many people do it incorrectly, substitutions of the meal can not be generally evaluated negatively. Are often much better than the unbalanced diet or the bad habit of skipping meals and then overeat at home in front of the fridge. Some of these substitutes, well balanced and accompanied by lots of water and some fruit to “break” in the afternoon, should be fine. Perhaps they are not educational, but sometimes there’s just the chance to sit down and eat properly.

Is there a trick to keeping the weight?
The best incentive to not putting on weight again are without doubt the results. Then you can reward widening the range of foods and portions, while being careful to prefer a low-fat foods and following the clear indications of the classic food pyramid.

Thinning localized (belly, hips, thighs): the diet is possible?
You can accompany the diet or physical activity targeted local treatments. Only with the diet, if we are sincere to the core, is impossible. Beware of someone who says: “With this diet down the thighs and hips.” It is absolutely not true.

The dietary supplement creatine is the most widespread in the sport worldwide.

It is a substance naturally produced by the body, kidneys, liver and pancreas, and derived from the amino acids arginine, methionine and glycine. Creatine is stored in skeletal muscles in the form of phosphocreatine, which is the immediate energy source for muscle contraction but is rapidly exhausted. Phosphocreatine is indispensable for the exercise of short duration and high intensity, anaerobic in nature, such as weightlifting. When it runs out quick energy source performance deteriorates due to the inability to obtain new power loads with the required speed.

Creatine is the only nutrient that the athlete can not cover with food. As found in small amounts in meat and fish, to provide the body with the daily maintenance dose would be necessary to consume many kilos of meat per day.

But not everyone benefits. Also detected some adverse effects from eating this supplement, such as increased body weight from fluid retention and not increased muscle mass. This occurs because creatine is osmotically active, ie, attracting the flow of water into the cells.
