[LifeStyle] The smallest plate trick that works for weight loss

[#Steeven.™]

When starting a diet, all help is little, and it will be key to plan meals, prioritize the consumption of water over another drink, learn to say no, be constant and persistent.

But besides being constant, all help is little. And the smallest plate trick is a good base. But there is more, because diets must be controlled, to achieve a goal and not be a constant back and forth. They should be a starting point from which you then 'break free'.

The specialist Mari Carmen Díaz, an expert in Diet and Nutrition at Quirónsalud Alicante, affirms that if a restrictive diet is maintained over time "it can be really dangerous" because it eliminates the nutrients from the diet in order to lose weight. And this can lead to a loss of muscle mass, but this does not mean that the person gains quality of life or looks thinner, but rather they will have less strength and feel fatigue.

 

The danger of very restrictive diets
It can also cause a lack of essential nutrients, with the consequent appearance of deficiencies and symptoms that worsen our quality of life, such as headaches, extreme fatigue, bad mood ... According to Dr. Díaz, "the best thing is to bet on a varied diet "and" the radical message is not healthy or sustainable. "

Dr. Carolina Pérez, a nutrition specialist at Quirónsalud Murcia and Torrevieja, explains that "miracle or express diets are not balanced, they can produce signs and symptoms due to a deficit of essential nutrients or excess of others" but weakness, lack of energy, sagging, wrinkled and drier skin, brittle nails, hair loss, bad smell from sweat and mouth, general lack of vitality, drowsiness, apathy, headache, dizziness or blurred vision ".

 

The small plate trick that does work
And yes, eating from small plates works. Above all, what must be taken into account is the type of food to be reduced. It is a very effective way to eat all the nutrients that the body needs, but in a way that our body does not add more calories. Also, visually, it helps to see a full plate, even if it is small.
