The holidays are always a bit stressful, not only in financial terms, but also in terms of food. Delicious snacks are all the more tempting at this time of year, and the amount consumed can be seen on the waistline. Of course, there is one saving grace, as the start of a new year holds so much promise, that now the change can begin!
Eat less, move more and get in shape as soon as possible! Of course, health is not secondary, so it's worth looking into what can help you lose weight and get in shape. Most of us are aware that high glycaemic index products - sugar, white flour, pasta - are a major contributor to fat deposition, so cutting out some of these products will already produce visible results.
Many people stick to familiar tastes, so it is important to look for products that can replace previously fattening foods in a way that still tastes good. A significant proportion of Hungarians like "bread", increasingly tasty bakery products. It is included in almost all daily meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. And it is not difficult to make the switch, as wholemeal products are becoming increasingly available.
What are the benefits of "wholemeal" products? The fine flour used for bakery products carries almost only the pure carbohydrate content of the seeds, the product, and the protein structure of the plant. However, whole grain milling also incorporates a much higher proportion of fibre and beneficial minerals, which improves digestion and lowers the glycaemic index of the product, which does not 'spike' insulin levels quickly. When you eat wholegrain, you feel full for longer, so you get hungry later! In other words, these products can help you eat less than you used to, which will obviously have a positive effect on your weight!
