What to eat to avoid starving on a diet?
In a previous publication, I told how I easily lost 26 kilograms in 3 months. If you haven't seen it — be sure to watch it.
One of the rules was to completely eliminate harmful products. But what then to eat if all the tastiest things have to be excluded: sweets, flour products, processed meat?
It's proven by my own experience that healthy food can be delicious!

So, we eat:
1. Protein food: meat, fish, eggs.
Chicken, turkey, beef (preferably veal), low-fat fish (hake, pollock), seafood. It's better not to consume pork, or only homemade in small quantities.
In general, protein is practically not stored in fat, so eat practically without restrictions. The main thing is to cook it yourself, don't buy ready-made in supermarkets.
2. Complex (slow) carbohydrates: porridges, vegetables.
We cook porridges from such cereals: buckwheat, millet, brown (unpolished) rice. In each meal you should consume various vegetables — they have a lot of fiber, and it slows down the rise of blood sugar level, which is critical so that fats are not stored in the body. But we don't consume potatoes — they have too much starch and almost no fiber.
3. Fats: seeds, nuts.
It's better to consume fats of plant origin, so we eat pumpkin seeds, flax, poppy, chia, black sesame. From nuts: walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, almonds; essentially any, except peanuts. The only thing is, not a lot — no more than 40 grams per day, because fats are generally very high in calories.
Be sure to use various spices: turmeric, oregano, cumin (zira), pepper mixtures, dried herbs — French, Italian, etc. Spices contain various useful substances. And they will provide just wonderful tastes to all your dishes. :)
You can consume legumes — peas, beans, chickpeas, mung beans. From beans, I discovered lentils — porridge or soup from them is very tasty; but better green, not yellow.
We eat mushrooms — fresh and dried.
Be sure to consume greens (dill, parsley, celery, basil, etc.) and various seaweeds with each meal.
We dress salads with unrefined olive oil (we don't use sunflower oil) — it is rich in omega-9.
We fry everything in refined coconut oil or lard (melt pork fat in advance, cool and keep in the refrigerator). In extreme cases, in refined olive oil, but this is more of an exception.
We limit fruits — one a day, after the main meal. Apples are best — they have a lot of fiber. The sourer the fruit, the better.
Since we limit fruits, we consume berries: mulberry, blueberry, raspberry — the darker the berry, the better for us.
And, of course, don't forget about one of the main rules of food combination in one meal, which I wrote about in the first publication.
For a greater weight loss effect, we do two protein days per week, not consuming carbohydrates and fats at all. One day we do without food — we only drink water.
You will succeed, don't doubt it! :)
