- Drink Enough
Drinking enough water is important for the different metabolic processes of our body and avoiding hunger attacks. Sometimes the brain signals “hunger” when it really means “thirst.” - Enough protein
Proteins fill you up for a longer time and are especially important for the growth and maintenance of muscle tissue. Especially people who follow a hypocaloric diet must provide sufficient protein to the muscles to avoid muscle loss. As a general rule, 0.9-2 g of protein per kg of body weight is recommended, depending on how much sport is practiced per day and how much muscle mass you want to preserve. For all those who cannot meet their daily needs through food, protein shakes are a good low-carbohydrate supplement. - Healthy fats
Healthy fats fill up longer and help prevent hunger pangs. Coconut oil is especially recommended for its medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), which provide the body with instantly usable energy and, at the same time, long-lasting. - Avoid eating between meals
Any food you eat between meals, including tea with honey, coffee with milk, fruit juice and healthy coconut water, increase your blood sugar level, make it difficult to burn fat and promote hunger attacks . That is why it is advisable to let the body rest for 3 to 5 hours between meals to allow digestion without interruptions. - Find a rhythm
When does the day start? When to take a break, when to train? The rhythm of meals is organized according to this type of condition. To obtain the desired result and to be able to eat regularly, these factors must be taken into account when creating a low calorie diet. Whether it is 3 or 5 meals will depend on these factors and personal preferences. - Plan meals
You are away from home. You get hungry. You have nothing to eat. In a moment you buy yourself a sandwich. Tomorrow we continue with the low carbohydrate diet. That can be avoided: cooking in advance and carrying some crudités or some vegetables in your bag will get you out of a hurry. Many times you can also find low carbohydrate dishes or snacks even when you are away from home. - Be disciplined at dinner
At night, fat metabolism and regenerative processes are especially active. Help your body in these processes by dispensing with carbohydrates at night. In this way, you can fully focus on the muscle repair processes and draw on the energy available in fat stores. - Expect setbacks
You can have a sandwich or something sweet from time to time, right? Especially if you are planning a long-term diet change, you have to be able to indulge in these quirks sometime. At least in part: Nutritious foods with long-chain carbohydrates are the alternative to white flour and sugar. If you are in the mood for something sweet, raw chocolate can be a good remedy. Most of the variants are sweetened with just a little coconut blossom sugar and are available at any organic supermarket.
