Diet Recommendations for Obesity Treatment

During the weight loss process, it is preferred to have frequent small meals. We should definitely have main and snacks. If we go hungry for a long time by eating one or two meals a day, no matter how educated we are, our body will think that we are having difficulty finding food and will decrease our metabolic rate to survive. This will also decrease weight loss. In addition, since our blood sugar drops after long periods of fasting, we may lose control during meals and feel sad afterwards.

In addition to main meals, importance should be given to snacks. In order to reduce the portions in the main meal, we should definitely consume small portions of fruit, yogurt, milk or dried nuts (such as walnuts, hazelnuts, apricots or dates).

It will be a classic, but flour, salt and sugar do not exist in nature in their pure form. Since they are a part of nature in our bodies, we are defenseless against these products. In short, we should not consume refined sugar, flour and flour products except for special celebrations. Dried legumes and whole grain bread (one or two slices) will help us with our carbohydrate needs in this regard.

In terms of oil, we recommend using olive oil and natural butter. When consuming meat, the fatty parts should definitely be separated, and instead of frying, we can prefer oven or boiling methods to ensure that our intestines work more easily.

We should consume at least two liters of water daily for our blood circulation and cell renewal. Different liquids may come to mind, but water is the most natural and healthy liquid we can consume.

We should prefer packaged foods less, read the ingredients and avoid buying products that use a lot of additives.
