Spring is the most common season for weight loss. After all, summer is coming very soon, and everyone understands that you need to undress, and therefore improve your body.

It is also the time of the year when the body is maximally weakened due to a lack of vitamins. Therefore, if you go on a low-calorie diet at this time, then you should not be surprised at a decrease in immunity and exacerbation of diseases.

How to get in shape after winter
our expert says
sports dietitian nutritionist Anna Bilous.
I recommend losing weight with a balanced diet and adding foods to the diet that will saturate the body with the missing vitamins and will not increase the usual daily calorie intake. For example, in the three-phase weight management program there is a list of allowed foods that you can eat almost unlimitedly with a balanced diet according to its formulas.
And now I will give you the top 10 spring products for weight loss:
Greens — any and a lot!
For example: spinach, lettuce, parsley, dill, arugula, sorrel, green onions and garlic. They have coarse fibers to cleanse the body and improve bowel function, rich in vitamins. And the low calorie content allows them to be added both to main meals and to snacks in the form of salads or smoothies.

Radish
It is difficult to imagine a spring menu without this bright root crop. It is rich in vitamins, especially C and B9, therefore it has a positive effect on the condition of the skin, hair, helps to maintain youth and reduce the likelihood of wrinkles during weight loss.
Cabbage
The most popular are Beijing, white cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi and cauliflower. All types of cabbage can be added both to fresh salads and stews, with a protein component. For example, fish with steamed broccoli is suitable for dinner. Cabbage will give a feeling of satiety and at the same time — a minimum of calories. And everyone will be able to find this useful product within their budget.
Grapefruit
It will saturate the body with a portion of vitamins C and B, effectively reduce appetite, and also help to remove fat from the body that accumulates on the hips, buttocks and legs. Grapefruit also prevents the penetration of new fat into cells.
Beef liver
You won’t be full of greens alone, and you need a protein component. The liver will not only help you get the right amount of protein per day, but also cope with beriberi. It improves blood quality due to the high iron content, increases hemoglobin.

Beans
Especially for those who keep the post. This is a rich source of protein, the lack of which often causes a breakdown and bad mood in the off-season. Include beans a couple of times a week with stews or cereals for lunch. With a protein product, it is better not to use it as a side dish, so as not to overload the gastrointestinal tract.
Avocado
Contains unsaturated fats that improve the condition of the skin and hair, which is very important after winter. It also helps cleanse blood vessels and reduce “bad” cholesterol. This will help us to be not only beautiful, but also healthy.
Fish and seafood
Horse mackerel, trout, mackerel, pink salmon, chum and others. It is a source of protein and healthy fats for the body. Omega-3s are the building blocks of the brain and nervous system. And this will allow us to be not only slim, but also efficient, and in a good emotional state.
Raw nuts and seeds
An excellent source of proteins and fats. You can use it for snacks or add 1 spoon to salads. With their use, one can effectively counteract obesity, heart disease, muscle atrophy, as well as cancer, hypertension and the appearance of early wrinkles.

Spices
When losing weight, you need to reduce the use of salt, while the dishes become bland and tasteless. Spices and herbs will help to cope with this, they will add aroma, taste and speed up the metabolism. And cinnamon, for example, will replace sugar in coffee and cottage cheese. This will reduce the calorie intake of food, but will not worsen its taste.
It is also important to listen to your body — often he himself wants those foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals that we lack. It is only important not to confuse the desire to eat lemon or sauerkraut as a source of vitamin C — and just the desire to eat a bun, because it smells fragrant.
I wish everyone to be healthy and slim!
