OUR TIPS
Following your many messages, today we’ve decided to share a few extra tips to help you structure your day. You can absolutely adapt this plan to suit your lifestyle (whether you exercise or not, you’re a stay-at-home mum, a student, etc.). Here are a few slimming tips to keep in mind:
- You can have a slice of bread alongside your lunch
- You can treat yourself to 1 square of dark chocolate (70%+) at any point during the day, whenever you fancy it
- If you feel a little peckish in the morning, reach for an apple (its satiating power will easily keep you going until lunch)
- For your afternoon snack, go for a handful of dried fruit or nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts… unsweetened and unsalted). If you prefer something savoury, try 2 slices of ham or a hard-boiled egg: ideal for active women as it’s a protein-rich snack!
- For dessert, you can have 1 yoghurt or a piece of fruit of your choice – and try to skip dessert in the evening. Dinner should be lighter than lunch 🙂
- Stop eating after 10 pm
- Aim for at least 7 hours of sleep per night
TIP OF THE DAY
Today we wanted to talk about a food that, once incorporated into your diet, will benefit your whole body! It’s fish! The only issue is that we often don’t know how many times a week to eat it, or which types to choose. Here’s everything you need to know! It’s recommended to eat fish at least twice a week, alternating between fish rich in omega-3s (salmon, sardines, anchovies, trout, sea bream…) and lean fish (tuna, pollock, cod, sole, hake…). To support weight loss, focus on lean fish and opt for oven-baked, en papillote or steamed preparations. Fish is high in protein and fibre and is a great appetite suppressant. It also supports cell renewal and cardiovascular health thanks to its high omega-3 content. So today at lunch, we’re enjoying a beautiful white fish fillet with tomatoes 😉
