We outline it for you in the following article.

The basic rules

Even if you follow a proven weight loss diet to the letter, you need to adopt good habits:

• Cut down on calories, especially fast sugars and fats;
• Eat copiously at lunch, more lightly at noon and in the evening; you can eat as many vegetables as you want, but not more than 2 fruits per day;
• Drink plenty of water before and between meals;
• Avoid snacking between meals; if you are hungry, drink water and eat a few nuts, a food rich in protein;
• Increase the feeling of fullness at meals by consuming starchy foods, such as potatoes, rice and whole grain pasta, without adding fat;
• Eliminate alcohol or limit your intake to one drink per day;
• Go for lean meats and fatty fish, like mackerel and salmon, and cook them in the steam, microwave or grill;
• Increase your physical activity; you will burn more calories, more quickly.

The importance of protein

Whether animal or plant origin, protein is made up of amino acids that are essential for the body. They contribute to cell renewal and strengthen the immune system. They also have an appetite suppressant power that facilitates a balanced weight loss diet including vegetables and fruits.

A protein diet is very effective for losing weight quickly. It is made up of foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. However, to lose 2 or 3 pounds in 15 days, for example, you must drastically reduce your intake of carbohydrates and fats so that your body can draw them from your fat stores.
