- Cheese in quantities of up to 50 grams per meal is not prohibited throughout the day. Diary products (yogurt, etc) without additives, but it is better to use it as a supplement to the main meal, and not in between. So, as a dessert, you can also eat normal-fat yogurt without additives.
- We would like to draw your attention to the fact that you should not consume canned food because you need absolutely no extra salt, preservatives and sugar.
- Mayonnaise, sour cream and other sauces (even self-made) in large quantities during lunch are undesirable. What then to fill a salad with? Try lemon juice with condiments or vinegar.

Do not give up your favorite soups. After all, they improve the work of the stomach and accelerate the digestion of food, preventing it from being stored in fat. By the way, you can use the vegetarian broth, since it's tasty and it also significantly reduces the number of calories consumed for lunch - after it, you do not eat more than you need.
Soup saturates well, but not for long. If you absolutely can not do without it, we advise you to reduce the regularity of including it in the menu up to 3-4 times a week. Also, give preference to soups not made with meat broth.
Since potatoes and pasta cannot be mixed with meat, fish, chicken, and seafood, the choice of foods should be treated very carefully.

- Celery and ginger. They sccelerate metabolic processes. Therefore, a fresh note of celery or a sharp ginger bitterness in a fruit, vegetable or meat dish will not only be appropriate but also useful for the shape.
- Black pepper. This spice is one of the most effective in the splitting of fat.
- Meat products for fast weight loss: boiled or braised rabbit meat, white chicken, and turkey meat. These dietary types of meat are not only low-calorie, low-fat, but also very useful. Especially the rabbit one, which is considered the most valuable dietary product, is 90% absorbed in our body (beef - only by 60%) and at the same time it contains the most protein and unsaturated fatty acids, as well as a mass of trace elements, vitamins, and 19 amino acids. And it never causes allergies.
- Broccoli. It contains chrome, which reduces the pathological cravings for sweets. Just one cup of boiled broccoli a day is enough to provide yourself with a daily dose of chrome.
- Water. If you drink at least 2.5 liters of fluid, the metabolism will improve.
Never eat watching TV. Otherwise, your brain will connect these two actions to each other and you will always be chewing when a television series or football match is on. And you'll eat more than you need. Always eat slowly - so the food will be better absorbed, and less food will be required. Do not be afraid to get up from the table half-hungry - the signal of saturation goes to the brain after 20 minutes, so that the feeling of satiety will catch up with you, but a little later.
Alas, some gastronomic restrictions still have to be considered. But, fortunately, there are very few products forbidden to a person that wants to lose weight. It is necessary to forget about spicy and salty snacks which stimulate allocation of gastric juice, and, hence, appetite. Also forget about food with preservatives which is not only poorly absorbed, but also prevents other food.
So salty and canned foods, along with fatty sausages and pies, in which there is an excess of salt and hidden fat, are now your enemies! Ready sauces (ketchup, mayonnaise, and others) will not help you too. And also say goodbye to alcohol.
You can eat sweets or any dish you want to eat very much, but only using tiny portions. By the way, get yourself small plates and saucers, so as not to put too much.
