To achieve a healthy, balanced diet

Great post.
ReplyDeleteI want to add some notes please.
Green tea is a good choice but not more than 3 cups per day.
people who used to sleep more than the normal rate ( 6-8) hours will find a difficulty to lose weight or to keep their metabolism balanced so they can use this technique
" 1 hour before 12 AM = 2 hours after 12 AM "
For ex sleep at 10 and wake up after 8 hours, it is the same as u sleep at 12 AM and wake up at 10 am So they can earn 2 hours.
Eating more proteins is not suitable for all of us, it depends on the blood group type and the source of the proteins for ex
TYPE blood A : meat is not recommended as source of protein source they can depend on milk products, legumes, mushroom and vegetables like broccoli and cabbage in opposite of Type blood O they can't depend on legumes and need meat as a source of protein and antioxidants.
Smaller plates is a good trick beside chewing slower and using small
fork. knife and spoon.
Cheat meal is not a must but it's good to keep u continue in that healthy way.
According to tuna, if water packed ones are not available u can wash tuna with lemon and vinegar.
Thank you so much for your notes and intelligence! And Im already preparing a post about blood types and you revealed some of it :)
