Slimming: we spot false friends

In the plate, they have all the featherweight weight. But under a diet, they skilfully hide fat and sugar. In the end ... it's high treason.

A handful of pretzels , though so dry in the mouth, actually weighs heavier than green olives: 395 Cal (per 100 g) against 118.
1 cup of sweet champagne is worth 120 Cal, against 70 for the crude and 75 for a small glass of whiskey.

Between a bouquet of whelks and prawns and a tray of oysters , your taste buds are swaying? The unparalleled palm of the light goes back to the mollusks: 47 Cal per dozen, against 89 for the gastropod-crustacean duo (for 100 g).

A wafer can hide another! Praline and Hazelnut Fishnets are caught in the act of debauchery with 40g per 100g, while Strawberry does - and this is hardly credible - 1g of fat. Pianissimo nevertheless, biscuit = sugar.

Slimming: foods to focus

Eggs

Egg white is the purest source of protein. To make up for excess, make a large omelette with 4 to 5 whites (12.8 g to 16 g protein) and 1 single yellow.

We put in the pig

Less than 100 Cal for three real slices of country ham or four slices of sausage. No, it's not a mirage. There is now a tasty lighter version and 'no hardcopy' of pork.

Thus, four slices of Shepherd's Pie or three slices of Justin Bridou's 'Goût et Equilibre' raw ham have 5g of fat, almost half as much as the classic versions. We do not get guzzling for as much, the 100 g of sausage always make 8 kg of salad without seasoning in caloric value!

We calm down his cravings

which are often linked to a serotonin deficiency (soothing and antistress molecule responsible for managing our emotions and manufactured by the brain). Rather than rush on biscuits, eat foods high in serotonin precursors such as eggs, dairy products, turkey, soy, tomatoes, eggplants , whole wheat bread, plums, rapeseed oil and of nuts.

Another trick:

sprinkle generously with cinnamon your dairy products, compotes and fruit salads (minimum 1 g per day). One of its polyphenols participates in the regulation of blood sugar levels and helps to avoid hypoglycemia-pump-cravings.

In addition, after 40 days, the spice would lower the level of bad cholesterol (LDL) by 20%, "said Professor Richard Anderson of the Human Nutrition Research Center in Beltsville, USA.

Take 10 kg in ten years is the risk if we swallow every day a piece of sugar in excess of our needs. Thus, 2 small butter = 1 sugar; 1 C. coffee jam = 2 sugars; 1 croissant = 5 sugars; 1 fruit yoghurt = 3 sugars; 1 chocolate bar = 8 sugars 1 tsp. coffee oil; 1 chocolate bar (100 g) = 12 sugars 3 tbsp. oil soup.

The meat

Among the poultry, the plump ones are the duck, the chicken and the pheasant; the only lean ones are turkey, guinea fowl and chicken - especially white with 5% fat, compared to 18% for wings. In the lamb, almost all the pieces are fat, the most 'light' being leg of lamb, still counting 8.9 g of fat per 100 g.

We reduce the cheese bill

Play Youth! Opt for those just out of the cellar ripening, they are still riddled with water and therefore low caloric. Proof: the fresh goat weighs 32 Cal the portion of 40 g with 2.4 g of fat, while it is not a lightened, against 186 Cal and 16 g of fat for dry goat.

Also essential, for its 22 Cal with less than 0.1 g of lipids, Carré Frais Gervais 0% (25 g). Or Saint-Moret (12 Cal and 0.4 g of fat). In addition, they favorably increase the daily ration of proteins to be swallowed (1 g per kg of weight, ie 60 g for 60 kg). We put in the fridge sauces and soups. As the fat rises to the surface and freezes on cooling, all that remains is to remove it. At 50 Cal per serving, we gain 2.4 kg per year.

Slimming: a light aperitif

Plan 1: place on the tongue two extra large mint lozenges and let them melt. The power of the aroma - which lasts in the mouth - annoyingly annoys all flavors. Even the most appetizing will repel us.

Plan 2: statistically, the first glass is drunk two to three times faster than the next one, so always start with a glass of water .

Plan 3: Before any glass of alcohol , swallow a slice of wholegrain bread rich in fiber or one to two Wasa. Their fibers reduce the absorption of ethanol and carbohydrates, which pass less quickly in the blood and do not direct their calories at high speed on the hips.

Plan 4: If you are invited to a dinner, swallow a boiled egg, a slice of turkey ham or two yogurts at 0% before leaving. When one has a full stomach, it is easier to despise the cocktail sausages offered as an aperitif.

Slimming: ideas, tips and tricks

We eat and drink cold or ice

From the outset, this forces the body to burn its reserves to maintain the temperature at 37 ° C. In summary: a hot dish is more caloric than a cold dish, because upon absorption the body stops burning its own calories and uses the heat contained in food.

Water placed in the refrigerator at 4 ° C consumes 60 Cal for 2 l alone, still warming it to 37 ° C. Ditto for 6 ice cubes sucked in the day . We can flavor the ice cubes of a mint leaf, orange blossom water ... And we shower for 2 min at 25 ° C. To oppose this cooling, the body burns 100 Cal, the equivalent of 3 km of walking.

We play with his glyx

A dab of butter or a dash of oil in a starch makes the glyx drop. Fat slows the rate of intestinal absorption and digestion of carbohydrates. Result: they spend less quickly in the blood, thus avoiding triggering an insulin flash that promotes storage.
We sweat at the right time. The impact of insulin decreases and the cells are unlocked three to four hours after the meal. It's time to play sports , they let go without compromising their energy reserves.

We distinguish calories.


All are not equal. 1/2 baguette of bread = 306 Cal; 1 chocolate bar = 50 Cal. But the latter is ten times richer in fat than bread.
We do crazy things about her body. We sweat at the right time. Knowing that a steamy nap burns as many calories as 1.5 km of running. We split our meals, the digestion increasing the metabolism by 30%, which drives our internal boiler.

Zap rice and quick-cooking pasta.

To cook in 3 min instead of the usual 10, the food industry uses a manufacturing process that disrupts the architecture of carbohydrates. Their glyx (glycemic index) climbs fiercely. For 7 minutes won, the flip side is vicious: we refuel for sure the fat cells.

Slimming: cook smart!

We season less fat.

Adding water is the very principle of light salad dressings sold in the fresh supermarket.

2. paraffin oil vinaigrette: 1 tbsp. tablespoon oil, 1 tbsp. Perrier water, 1 tbsp. mustard and 1 or 2 tbsp. vinegar, salt and pepper.

In the pig, cook the filet mignon or roll slices of lean white ham. Finally, the veal escalope is less rich than the roast.
A simple reference: the pieces near the ribs (entrecote, chops, pork ribs) are the most mellow; normal, they are also the fat ones.

We stop cooking 'at sight'.

Without realizing it, you end up swallowing a double ration. Using a doser, we discover that for years we ate for two or more, especially for rice and pasta.

We make dumplings with bread crumbs.

If at the restaurant the waiter brings you a plate flooded with sauce, vinaigrette or oil, the crumb of bread will discreetly act of sponge ... provided to leave it on the edge.

We chew more.

It takes 20 minutes for the brain to receive the signal of satiety, via the leptin hormone that governs it. Also, we put the fork between each bite, until complete chewing.

Slimming: tips for nibbling without complex

We eat carrots!

Crunchy, they display a very low glyx, 35, which allows the insulin to release slowly, which avoids engaging the process of storing fat. But cooked, their glyx climbs to 85.
