Every one of us dreams of looking beautiful and feminine on a daily basis. Often we are hampered by the extra centimetres deposited in our hips or on our once flat stomach. What's the best way to make the mantra "I need to lose a few kilos" a reality? "Use the method of small steps-?"- writes Kasia Cichopek in her guide "Eat, lose weight and enjoy yourself!" Don't jump in at the deep end straight away - first, before you start radically changing your diet, make a thorough plan. Consider whether you're just at the point in life where you can really focus more on your needs."
-
Stop sweetening
Sugar neither solidifies nor provides your body with any value. It is completely unnecessary and, moreover, unhealthy: it leads to overweight, diabetes and tooth decay.
-
Stop salting
The salt in bread or naturally in vegetables is enough for you. If there is too much of it, it will retain water in the body, which means not only extra weight, but also a bad feeling.
-
Eat little but often
My mother often repeats with maternal delight on her face: "Baby, how much you eat!". "Mum, not a lot, but often! Despite appearances, it's not the same" I defend myself consistently. Because it's true - my meals are small, but they follow each other quickly. Sometimes I eat up to six times a day, but I swear, Mum: these are really small portions. Eat more often, but in small portions. Then you definitely won't get fat!

Never forget your breakfast
Never skip breakfast, even if you overslept for work and have to rush headlong to the bus. On such crisis mornings (yes, yes, they do happen), I take with me a breakfast consisting of a cereal bar and pureed fruit juice. However, this is only a minimum option and should not be used notoriously, ok? It's much better for your health (as well as your mood, productivity at work, creativity and beauty) if you take a longer moment in the morning to cook a decent meal and then eat it in peace and quiet, sitting at the table, rather than casually batting your eyelashes. With such a mega dose of energy, not only will your resistance to viruses increase, but also your ability to concentrate and your inner harmony, and energy? You'll have enough for two! Make sure your breakfast contains all three nutrient groups: fats, carbohydrates and protein. You'll get your fill of these with oatmeal and milk or natural yoghurt. A few almonds (valuable fatty acids) are also worth adding to this dish.

Exercise, exercise and more exercise
Did you know that in the latest nutritional pyramid established by scientists, physical activity has been placed at the bottom as an essential part of a healthy diet? So at the very beginning of your changes, don't think about changing the way you eat, but systematically increase your dose of exercise. In addition to body shaping exercises (suggestions can be found in the
in the book "Sexy Mum"), workouts that are not too strenuous, but last at least half an hour (walking, slow jogging, jumping rope, cycling, dancing or swimming) are also beneficial. Choose a sport you really enjoy - if you force yourself to do a workout you don't like, you'll probably abandon it quickly. In the meantime, it's worth the money: after just 2-3 weeks of regular exercise (three times a week, about an hour each, including warm-up and stretching afterwards), you will notice changes. Your body will become firmer and you will feel a surge of energy thanks to endorphins.
12.Don't leave home without a half-litre bottle of water.
Pure water has no calories, so it is not fattening, but it is great for filling your stomach, especially between meals - so it can help you stick to a low-calorie diet. Take a cue from the French: they never leave home without a bottle of still mineral water in their handbag. Every quarter of an hour, take a sip or two from your bottle so that your daily balance is around 1-1.5 litres. If you work in an air-conditioned room, drink one more glass of water to further hydrate your skin and eyes.

Save money on silly things
This is what my nutritionist once said to me and it was one of her best pieces of advice. Until I got pregnant, there were quite a few such silly things on my menu: flavoured water (with added sugar, of course), butter on a slice of bread, crispy breadcrumbs on my mum's pork chops - the very yummies that contain literally nothing but calories.
Such small changes to your diet won't make you start losing weight in a flash, but they can make you eat healthier and more mindfully. Take a look in your fridge and consider where else you can look for 'savings'.
Because healthy eating is not at all about constantly restricting calories and keeping an eye on the pounds (although this is sometimes necessary too). Proper nutrition is above all about providing your body with everything it needs. Vitamins, magnesium, iron and calcium are all essential. But also... calories. And here the important thing is not only the amount of calories, but also their origin.
