How to lose weight in three months?

Lose weight in three months 

Sensible weight loss is to lose 0.5-1 kg of excess weight per week. With our diet at this rate, we can shed 6 to 12 kg of fat. The diet is rich in vegetables and dairy products, i.e. products with a low so-called glycaemic index. This prevents large fluctuations in blood sugar levels, thus avoiding hunger attacks.

In addition, more of these products and less of meat and cereal products help to maintain the acid-alkaline balance in the body, and this improves the functioning of our internal organs. Of course, we avoid sweets and excess fat.

Lose weight in three months: The first month 

We eat four regular meals a day. We set relatively fixed eating times, taking into account our daily organisation (we can swap places between lunch and afternoon tea, for example). Do not count calories. 

We do not radically reduce the amount of food, but we do change the proportions between products: we eat a certain amount of proteins (meat, eggs, dairy products), carbohydrates (bread, potatoes, pasta), fruit and fats. On the other hand, we eat unlimited vegetables, drink still mineral water and sugar-free fruit teas.

For breakfast 

- Slice of wholemeal bread thinly buttered, sprinkled with a spoonful of chopped parsley, tomato, hard-boiled egg. Coffee or tea with milk.

- Natural yoghurt (125 g) with a spoonful of wheat bran, 3 dried figs. Coffee or tea with milk.

- Slice of wholemeal bread thinly buttered, sprinkled with a spoonful of chopped dill, with a slice of lean sausage and fresh cucumber. Coffee or tea with milk.

It can happen 

After a month of a diet rich in vegetables, we lose weight, and this has to do with the loss of water from the body. This is because vegetables contain a lot of potassium, which has a dehydrating effect. Now, the weight may stagnate for a few days, but this does not mean that the diet is ineffective.

Lose weight in three months: The second month

We can now speed up our metabolism by introducing more protein - especially that from dairy products - into our diet. The rules from the first month of the diet still apply, so: regular four meals a day, unlimited vegetables and unlimited still mineral water and sugar-free fruit teas.

It can happen 

The longer we think about a piece of cake, for example, the more we develop a craving for it. Then it's easy to lose the battle with ourselves. As a consolation, let us tell ourselves that our diet is not too restrictive and does not require dramatic sacrifices. Its effects are already visible.
