Lose weight with your hands

Good nutrition is not based on undergoing intense diets, but on knowing what, how and how much to eat, we tell you how.

Portion It is the amount of food free of waste. Good nutrition is not based on undergoing intense diets, on the contrary it lies in knowing what, how and how much to eat, so knowing the appropriate portions in your diet will make a big difference in your weight and your quality of life. The ideal portion is different for each person depending on their complexion, age, sex and other characteristics, for this reason it is necessary to consult a specialized nutritionist who will indicate an appropriate eating plan. A good way to determine recommended serving sizes is to use your own hand. Recommended Portions Fruits The ideal portion is measured: Opening your hand, extending the palm, the fruit that fits between the palm and the fingers is the ideal portion. Vegetables Hold out both hands and the raw or steamed vegetables you can hold will be what your body needs. We recommend that you eat them before the main course. Meat Open your hand and once it is extended, the ideal portion of meat will be the one you can hold only with your palm without counting your fingers. We suggest choosing white meat over red meat. Fats Portions should be very small, where the measurement can be from the fold of your thumb to your nail. Apple A whole piece before lunch or mid-morning is a recommended portion. Water The recommended portion is 8 glasses of water a day or two liters. Cereals You can measure the ideal portion by extending your hand and consume the equivalent of your palm. This food is rich in fiber. Milk The ideal portion is the equivalent of closing your fist, we suggest you drink natural milk, without extra ingredients. Consume portions c Correct diets will not only keep you satisfied, they will also keep you away from tortuous diets and bring you closer to a healthier life.
