It is important to eat healthy, but it should not become an obsession because, if you do, it can affect our balance and make it harder for us to reach our ideal weight.

Eating certain foods, changing the way we eat or avoiding certain combinations will allow us to lose weight in a healthy but permanent way, avoiding health problems or regaining weight in a short time.

The 25 Keys to Losing Weight

1.    Chew the food well to facilitate digestion and satiate before, as it is proven that we are hungry for 15 or 20 minutes.

2.    Drink water out of meals, to help our body eliminate toxins. If we drink a glass of water before we start eating, we will also not be so anxious about food.

3.    Take foods rich in fiber: fruits, nuts, vegetables, brown rice, etc. Fiber is very healthy and helps us eliminate what the body does not need.

4.    Avoid white sugar and substitute it with Stevie, which has no calories. We should also watch for foods or drinks that hide large amounts of sugar, such as pastries or fizzy drinks.

5.    Take infusions like green tea or red tea, which help burn fat and prevent fluid retention.

6.    Avoid salt, which causes fluid retention. We will consume it in small quantities, also using spices, garlic, lemon, vinegar and onion to season the foods.

7.    Making full breakfasts helps us to have energy all day and not to snack between hours. We will choose fruit, yogurt, toast, smoothies, nuts, etc.

8.    Make light dinners, since what we eat from 8 in the afternoon no longer burn and also damages our liver, can cause insomnia, constipation, etc.

9.     Snack fruit, which is rich in fiber and water, low in calories and very satiating.

10. Eat fruits and nuts in small amounts to avoid constipation. Although they are quite caloric, we can eat with a handful a day.

11. Eat usually vegetable purees, which are very satiating and healthy. We can even add algae, which increase satiety and give us many minerals.

12. Do not make low-calorie or protein-rich diets because they damage our health and make a rebound effect after a while. You have to find the balance between fruits and vegetables, cereals, legumes, animal protein, etc.

13. Eat pineapple and papaya fasting, as both help to remove fluids and cleanse the body.

14. Do not eat fried or precooked foods as they contain large doses of unhealthy fats. If we have no alternative we will eat them in small amount, if possible combining them with salads or vegetables and a digestive infusion.

15. Do not abuse any food, especially those that we know do not feel good, but also avoid "the diet of the artichoke", "the diet of the pear", etc. Each food has its benefits and the ideal is to consume them moderately.

16. Try to prepare our own food and avoid eating away from home, which is usually more caloric and less healthy.

17. Do not eat in front of the TV, talking too much or worrying, since we usually eat more than we need and can cause bad digestion.

18. Never stay full at meals. Leave a little feeling of hunger that will disappear after a few minutes.

19. Do not eat desserts in the food. Better to take the sweets very occasionally and out of the meals. So they digest better and taste more.

20. Do not take the fruit for dessert as it hinders digestion. It is best to eat it mid-morning or mid-afternoon. Yes, you can eat the apple and the pear, which are considered neutral.

21. Taking ginseng for a couple of weeks helps activate the metabolism and emit more calories.

22. Do not abuse the flour or dairy, as there are many people who do not digest them well and that causes deposits of fat in our body.

23. Exercise regularly, at least three times a week.

24. Getting accustomed to climbing stairs instead of using the lift is an easy way to exercise each day.

25. Do not give so much importance to the food, enjoy it with serenity. It is important to eat healthy, but if it becomes an obsession it will affect our balance and it will cost us much more to have an ideal weight.
