The opinion of the Nutritionist

 There are many of us who think about eating in a healthy and balanced way . Yet, we often (and willingly) succumb to the lure of a good fried food, a pizza on Saturday night or a dinner at a restaurant, anything but light.

This does not mean that following a healthy diet means giving up goodness and gluttony . But rather, a correct diet is one that manages to combine these two adjectives with a third: genuineness .


So let's see together tips to really start following a healthy and balanced diet .

What should you eat for a healthy diet?

Eating healthy isn't easy. And even less is choosing the right foods .

Making a list of yes foods and no foods, therefore, is not feasible. Also because - and at this point we particularly care - diets must be prescribed by specialists (Dietitians or Nutritionists).

In this article, as written in the introduction, you find some advice, not your new shopping list ; a point on which we often make a complete mistake.

The choice of food, in fact, is what most induces us to make mistakes , leading us to persevere with a diet that is not at all healthy.

The lack of time and the frenetic rhythms that mark our days are two of the most common excuses we tell ourselves when we think we are ready for a change of course. But they are not the only ones.

Other factors that affect our food choices are:

It is hard to give up “gluttonous and warm” dishes which, yes, at the moment make us feel so satisfied, but which in the long run can cause various problems for our organism;

Organization , without which, in the kitchen, you risk succumbing to the temptation of ready-made or frozen foods, which are unhealthy and wholesome;

The will to get involved and say yes to change; the key to feeling good is to follow a healthy and balanced lifestyle and diet.

Having clarified this, we can move on to nutritional (and not) advice.
