1. I don't overdo it with carbs

One of the ways to avoid an excess of carbohydrates is to switch to a low-carb diet after the diet. During it, you receive from 50 to 150 g of carbohydrates per day. Replace sweet foods full of carbohydrates with foods rich in proteins and fats.

In addition to energy, they will also provide you with substances beneficial to health.

5. I follow a drinking regimen

In general, for every 1 kilogram you should drink 30-40 ml of water per day. Drink continuously throughout the day. Clean water should be the basis of your drinking regime even after the diet. You can flavor it with one of our sugar-free syrups, fruit or herbs.

Look at the drinking regime clearly.

6. For a drink? No, thanks

Suitable food supplements

Provided that your diet is balanced, varied and rich in all the necessary nutrients, the following nutritional supplements will be more than enough:

Omega-3 fatty acids

Considering that the Slovak Republic does not have the sea and the best source of omega-3 is sea fish, it is very convenient to take them at least as a nutritional supplement, either in liquid form or in capsules. Omega-3 fatty acids:

  • have anti-inflammatory effects;
  • they help regulate blood fat levels;
  • they limit the coagulation of blood platelets;
  • they reduce the occurrence of heart diseases;
  • they participate in the proper functioning of the brain.

Vitamin D3

The main source of vitamin D3 is sunlight. Unfortunately, we live in an area where, especially in the fall and winter months, we don't get as much sunlight as we would need for D3 production. It turns out that a lack of vitamin D can have an impact on a number of civilization diseases, such as some tumors, diabetes, obesity, heart and vascular diseases, psychological and psychiatric diseases or even neurological diseases. In recent times, vitamin D deficiency is often associated with impaired immunity and greater susceptibility to viral diseases. At least in autumn and winter, we should not hesitate to supplement with D3.




Multivitamin

It is worth getting, especially if you play sports. During sports, the need for individual micronutrients increases significantly, because our body loses them (the reason is sweat, urine, higher energy expenditure). Vitamins and minerals are essential for many body functions, including proper regeneration. A quality multivitamin must contain all the important elements that the body needs, in the right proportions and forms.
