Lose weight: this is how you prevent a one-sided diet

Would you like to lose some kilos now that summer is approaching? Then it is good to take a look at your diet. Usually people don’t keep eating healthier food for long. Particularly because they create a too one-sided diet as a result. They know some ‘safe’ recipes to lose weight with, but find these quickly become boring. As a result, a relapse and the so-called yo-yo effect is of course lurking.

But did you know that losing weight doesn’t have to be boring at all? If you know how to limit your calorie intake, a world will open up for you. A varied diet, good food and still lose weight. That sounds almost too good to be true, but it really is possible.

But how do you handle this? How do you prevent a one-sided diet and make your dishes as tasty and fun as possible?

Get inspired with the help of a meal box

Did you know that nowadays there are different meal boxes that offer low-calorie recipes? Recipes specially designed for dieters. The nice thing about this is that you don’t have to come up with new recipes every week and that you also get to know new ingredients. It also helps you to see that healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring at all. You can really go either way with this.

The Green Chef meal box is an excellent example of this. These boxes have been developed for people with a special lifestyle. For example, those who have to eat extra protein, because they do strength training, for example. But also for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian dishes. Or, therefore, also the group that follows a ketogenic diet or eats a low-calorie diet.

All food is good

The biggest pitfall when dieting is believing that there is only bad and good food. Of course it is not good to eat a lot of sugars all day long, but that does not make certain foods bad. A piece of chocolate can also offer many benefits. Yet we believe that we should not eat this during a diet. But if you start forbidding yourself something, it will only become more difficult to let go. There is a good chance that you will relapse. Can’t keep up with the diet.

Therefore, realize that all food is good. Food is there to nourish the body. So there is no good or bad. As long as calorie intake remains limited, you will still lose weight. So there may be room for something tasty every now and then. So don’t be too hard on yourself. Keep track of how many calories you eat every day and then decide for yourself whether there is still room left. This is how losing weight remains fun.

Make your nutrition as exciting as possible

We often make the mistake of adding as little flavor as possible during a diet. For example, think of a plate with one boiled potato, a few carrots and a piece of chicken breast. It is certainly low in calories, but is it really tasty? You can make your meals as exciting as you want. Choose different spices, experiment with different flavors and really enjoy it.
