Slim into spring – through the right diet!

We have 7 simple and healthy nutrition tips that will help you stride slimly into spring before long!

The days are getting longer, the temperatures ever warmer, and we start to fancy the new spring and summer fashion, in which we are allowed to show a temptingly large amount of skin.
First, however, we still have to lose a little surplus winter fat so that we really feel comfortable in it.

We will show you how it is done!
  

• A smooth start in the day.
  Before the first meal, drink a lukewarm water with lemon or apple cider vinegar; this stimulates the metabolism and makes the body alkaline. After that, a green smoothie with a handful of greens (spinach, kale, etc.), 2 portions of fruit (apples, kiwi, etc.) and a little fat (coconut oil, ½ avocado, hemp seeds, etc.).
  This drink supplies you with all the important vitamins & minerals first thing in the morning – the fats help the vitamins to be absorbed better and keep you full until midday.
  
  
• Energy Lunch.
  At midday it is important to fill the energy stores. This meal should be rather rich in carbohydrates. Quinoa, wholemeal pasta, brown rice with vegetables, pulses, seeds and grains, refined with a light sauce or a good vegetable oil, supply the body with energy until the evening without the insulin level rising too high and making you hungry again straight away.  

• Proteine in the evening burns calories.
  In the evening it is advisable to rely rather on protein-rich foods and to largely do without (fast) carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, rice and potatoes.
  Fish, meat, lean cheeses or also vegan dishes with tofu and vegetables as a side are ideal so as not to ask too much of the body in the evening.
  Even so, it is still supplied with protein, which is particularly important for the muscle and cell supply of our body. In addition, protein-rich food in the evening boosts fat burning and makes the pounds drop off.
  
  
• Avoid snacking.
  Do without snacks between meals. If a sweet craving does come over you, it is better to reach for nuts, a piece of fruit or dried fruit.
  
  
• Snacking before sports allowed.
  Before exercise you can of course also provide a quick energy boost with a piece of chocolate now and again. It would be better, though, to snack on a banana, because with its long-chain carbohydrates it supplies the body with energy for a particularly long time.
  
  
• No cocktails.
  During the period in which you want to lose weight, you should do without alcohol. For one thing, it slows down the metabolism, and on top of that it has a lot of calories.
  There is nothing to be said against a glass of red wine with dinner, however, as thanks to its positive ingredients, such as the vessel-cleansing polyphenols, it can even be seen as a healthy supplement to the diet ;)
  
  
• Nutrition is the key to a beautiful body.
  The right diet is the key to a beautiful, healthy body, but only in combination with sufficient exercise and targeted training can results really be achieved in a lasting way.
