Losing weight The following combination of fats, carbohydrates and proteins makes you lean and keeps you healthy

Successfully lose weight with the right combination of different foods

The right mix of fats, proteins and carbohydrates as well as vitamins and minerals forms the basis of a healthy diet, but it is also crucial from which sources they originate. For example, the German Society for Nutrition (DGE) recommends a high proportion of plant foods, regular fish consumption and significantly reduced meat consumption. Since no food contains all the necessary nutrients alone, the wide range of food diversity should also be used, because the more varied you eat, the lower the risk of one-sided nutrition, emphasize the experts of the DGE.

Nutritionist and food blogger Dr. Dr. Dieter Willis explains how balanced meals look with the right combination of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Hazel Wallace on her Instagram account "The Food Medic". Their recommendations are in line with nutrition, which according to a recent study involving researchers from the German Institute for Human Nutrition (DifE) and the Institute of Nutrition Science at the University of Potsdam can prevent overweight and many chronic diseases. The scientists recently published their findings in the journal "BMJ".

Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fish recommended

Many fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and fish are a good way to minimize the risk of obesity and many chronic diseases, according to the researchers. At the same time, reduce the amount of processed red meat and sugar. Dr. Hazel Wallace tries to take these guidelines into account at each of their meals. The pictures on her Instagram account show how appetizing a healthy diet can actually look like.

Combining foods is crucial

According to Dr. Wallace, the Mediterranean diet is a very good approach, but it requires a bit of tact to keep the right combination of foods and the right amounts. Also, for example enrichment by a healthy cereal for breakfast are absolutely allowed or desired. It has been shown that there is no single diet that should be strictly adhered to for the general health, but balanced methods such as the Mediterranean or the so-called DASH diets (dietary approaches to hypertension) are good approaches to obesity and chronic diseases to prevent, emphasizes the expert.

What amounts of proteins, fat and carbohydrates are appropriate?

The nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert has also explained to the British newspaper "Daily Mail" what the perfect combination of every meal should be. For example, a serving of protein (for example, salmon) is prepared with a handful of carbohydrate-containing foods (for example a sweet potato) and two handfuls of non-starchy vegetables (such as peppers, tomatoes, onions, and zucchini) and a dash of healthy fats (e.g., olive oil).

Ten simple nourishment sails

In addition, the German Nutrition Society has set up ten simple nutritional rules for practical implementation, which ensure that health benefits in a variety of ways. For example, it should be noted that every day about 1.5 liters of water or other non-calorific drinks should be drunk and sugar-sweetened and alcoholic drinks should be avoided as far as possible. In the end, the overall package of nutritional habits is always vital to your health. To completely dispense with individual food groups, as practiced in some diet methods, this makes little sense, but rather should be paid to a balanced diet with high-quality food and the highest possible proportion of plant, so the conclusion of nutrition experts.
