Sports diet for burning fat during training
Now that the holidays are behind you, you probably want to lose those extra pounds that have accumulated. Well, if your goal is to burn fat, then our fat burning sports diet will definitely help you. Most importantly, be consistent and be patient.
When it comes to proper nutrition to burn fat, people tend to overcomplicate things. Some say that you need to carefully monitor portion sizes, while others call for counting every calorie. From the abundance of advice, at times, the head is spinning. In fact, everything is much simpler.
Our diet is not intended for vegetarians, however, they can also use it with certain adjustments (for example, eating legumes instead of meat, etc.). Next, we will outline the rules of nutrition for burning fat, which can also be applied by vegetarians.
So, where should you start eating for weight loss? From general cleaning in your refrigerator! Throw away all products in their original packaging. Low-fat oatmeal raisin cookies, ready-made pancakes and similar sources of gigantic amounts of carbohydrates should disappear from your home.
Also get rid of buns, wheat bread, tortillas, etc. Yes, I know that whole wheat, millet, barley and oats contain fiber and are good for the heart, intestines and blood vessels. However, at the same time, they contain harmful non-nutritional substances, which in excess can cause harm to the body.
Instead, try to eat lots of fruits, but even more greens and vegetables. When it comes to fat burning nutrition, you need to be careful with fruits, as they are very easy to overeat.
A word of caution: Grains tend to be high in sugar, which raises insulin levels in the blood. If you consume them constantly, then you can easily gain extra kilos in the form of fat. To avoid such unpleasant consequences, avoid foods that increase insulin levels, that is, not only grain products, but also sweets, as well as refined carbohydrates.
“So what can you eat in this case?”, You ask. I get asked this question almost every day. Basically, it comes from the lips of people who are not very good at cooking or at most able to make a sandwich.
When you go to the store, try to stick to the outer perimeter of the sales area, where there are mostly display cases with healthy products. Also, always read the text on the product packaging, which indicates the composition and nutritional value.
To make it easier for you, I have prepared a list of meats, nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits that you need to pay attention to while on a diet.
