I have long wanted to go on a healthy diet, but could not abandon your morning coffee, afternoon and evening dessert aperitif? Good news: all this is not as harmful as previously thought.Popcorn
Popcorn has long ceased to be a delicacy and become almost mandatory attribute of any movie. It's tainted reputation. To sell more, bars, cinemas cook corn with a huge amount of sugar and fat, which increases calorie at times. And the size of the portions you saw? In one large bucket can contain up to 1200 calories, which is slightly less than the daily recommended dose of consumption for women.
Actually, popcorn in its original, unspoiled video marketing is quite a useful product. It has a lot of fiber, which improves digestion, reduces blood sugar levels and ultimately helps to not gain weight. According to American public health Association, lovers popcorn 28% less likely to suffer from various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and recently discovered that the corn is also full of antioxidants. So this seems to be the enemy of health, not only cleanses the body but also protects against cancer.
Btw.
On the "cinematic" bucket of popcorn you'll never find information about its composition and nutritional value. But such a label is placed on the packages of popcorn for home cooking. It costs 8-10 times less prepared for 3-7 minutes in the microwave or in a pan, plus you'll know exactly how much salt, sugar and food additives have received.
Potatoes
This root has long been banned in those who are afraid of extra pounds. It was considered that due to the high starch content (which is essentially a compound of glucose, i.e. sugar), the nutritional value of potatoes is equivalent to any chocolate bar. It is full of carbohydrates, the blood sugar rises after a meal quickly, and hence more likely to become fat, and at the same time and the risk of diabetes.
But in recent years nutritionists are increasingly inclined to "justify" the potatoes. There is an opinion - and he had many supporters, that the starch in potatoes, actually, very slowly processed by the body and thus does not settle in the form of fat, and consumed as energy. The level of blood sugar rises and falls gradually, it gives the feeling of satiety, and satiety in turn protects you from unnecessary snacking and excess calories.
Btw. The caloric content of potatoes is relatively small - only 80 calories per 100 grams. Therefore, on the basis of this product has got its own mono-diet. In order not to become fat, to eat fresh potatoes as necessary. While it is (especially at low temperature), the starch in potatoes is decomposed into glucose, and from it has no benefit will be.
Chocolate
Sweets candy strife. And chocolate is chocolate, too. On the one hand, it's quite a lot of sugar and fat, on the other - these vegetable fats and therefore harmless and even beneficial for the heart.
But the arguments for the chocolate does not end there. In the raw material for this product - cocoa-butter - is full of substances that have beneficial effects on many organs and systems of the body. For example, theobromine relaxes and revitalizes the nerves; a special type of antioxidants protects the skin from premature aging; and the hormones serotonin and dopamine, the production of which is also affected by the chocolate, regulate our mood and increase brain efficiency. Some doctors even recommend it as an antidepressant, and scientists from the University of Copenhagen's claim that using chocolate can... lose weight. According to their study, this product slows down digestion, that is, if you eat a piece before dinner, in the end, you will consume fewer calories and longer save satiety.
Important!
Since the main benefit of chocolate is cocoa beans, to consume is the product with the highest content. Look for bitter chocolate (65% cocoa and above - it should be written on the package), as well as products with cocoa mass in the composition. In milk chocolate cocoa only 20-35% or more animals - not useful fats. The white chocolate cocoa at all.
Coffee
The dispute between coffee lovers and antifeminine akin to a fabulous battle between good and evil: the preponderance periodically turns on one then on the other side, but the final point is unlikely to ever be delivered.
However, in recent years the warring parties seem to compromise. Some have recognized that in some cases coffee really hurt, others agreed that the damage is not even a drink, and the excess of its consumption. If you keep the dose (not more than 4 medium cups a day), you can: a) improve the cardiovascular system and to prevent the development of hypertension and atherosclerosis, b) to improve memory, ability to concentrate and to protect against dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and, finally, in) - to lose weight! Coffee boosts metabolism and suppresses appetite slightly, giving a total of an excellent diet formula.
Important! Coming to the cafe, many people think that a Cup of coffee instead of a full Breakfast or dessert protect them from unnecessary calories. This is not always the case. The calorie is found only in the usual black coffee without sugar (or espresso Americana), but in latte, iced or popular cappuccino, thanks to the addition of milk, syrups, sugar and ice cream, can be from 300 to 600 calories per serving.
Wine
Here, as with coffee, the main thing is moderation. Several studies have shown the benefit of regular, but in any case not binge drinking, both for health and for the figure. So, 1-1, 5 glasses of red wine a day strengthens tooth enamel and protect against decay. The same drink reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, degenerative brain disease (dementia), and even breast cancer. A recent British psychologists have found that women who drink regularly and gradually, on average, thinner than the absolute trezvennitsy.
By the way.
The "bespokely" sundowners recognized - you'll be surprised - Russian vodka. Case, as it turned out, not in the castle, and in the technology of cooking, because the withdrawal symptoms are due to food additives and flavourings, not the alcohol.
Fat cheese and milk
They are recommended not only for those who want to lose weight. Milk, like any other animal fats that raise cholesterol levels, and thus indirectly lead to the development of atherosclerosis and ultimately heart attacks. But! This is true only if a person ALREADY has problems with the cardiovascular system, in particular - increased cholesterol. If you are confident in the health of its "motor", cheese and milk will do you good, and Yes - it was greasy. Because dairy products rich in calcium and vitamin b, but neither that, nor another is not digested properly without enough fat.
Moreover, in the past year, researchers found that milk fat contains a substance called CLA. It is, paradoxically, prevents the formation of fat deposits in the body, therefore, than calorie product, the less it will affect your body.
Btw.
One of the most famous theorists diet Robert Atkins (author of the popular weight loss system named after him) also advised his patients to press exactly on a high-fat cheeses and yogurts. The Atkins diet is based on a minimum consumption of carbohydrates - while fats and proteins resolved in fairly large quantities, and the efficiency of the system is confirmed by millions of fans. Quickly lose weight "Atkins" and such Hollywood divas like Jerry Halliwell, Jennifer aniston and Renee Zellweger.
Pasta
Sitting on a diet, want to lose weight the first thing to forbid themselves sweet and flour. Nuanced selection of sweets we understand, now of flour and its varieties.
The most harmful pastry is any baking and everything that is done by adding a large amount of margarine and wheat flour. This product contains a large amount of harmful TRANS fats for heart and solid digestible carbohydrates, and they are equivalent in its effects to the Sahara. It is quite another thing - whole wheat bread and pasta. If the flour is made from whole grain (hulled or Wallpaper; also in the composition can be specified "durum wheat"), it retains much of the vitamins and fiber, and most importantly, not fast, and the so-called slow carbohydrates, which are gradually processed by the body, do not contribute to excess weight and do not increase the risk of developing diabetes.
Moreover, black bread and pasta from durum wheat must be present in your diet. They supply the body the vitamins, improve gastrointestinal tract and, as shown by the study, University of London, prevent the formation of fat in the waist area.
Important!
"Newly discovered" good pasta - not a reason to hold a feast in some Italian eatery. Pasta itself, of course, useful, but that's all kinds of sauces, prepared on the basis of oil, heavy cream, bacon, etc., increase the nutritional value of pasta lunch at 2 or even 3 times. And those extra calories by themselves is not going anywhere.
