Something to keep in mind is that we need a minimum of carbohydrates daily. In general, foods that contain them tend to see as enemies of the diet, when in fact our body needs. Hydrates allow our nervous system (brain, nerves), the heart and blood cells (red cells, white cells and platelets) to function properly. To understand its significance we must know that approximately 40% and 50% of the calories in a diet should be provided by carbohydrates. Where do we find? In foods such as:
-Cereals (wheat, oats, rye, barley, etc..) And its derivatives (pasta, bread, breakfast cereals, etc.)..
-Rice.
Tuber (potato).
-Vegetables.
-They also contain small amounts of carbohydrates, vegetables, vegetables and fruits.
-Sweetened drinks and other sweets also contain carbohydrates (sugar), although these are not recommended when dieting.
On the other hand, we must also know that between 10 and 20% of the calories in the diet must be provided by proteins, so we should not neglect them altogether. We find this nutrient in foods such as meat, fish, eggs, cheese and nuts.
Finally, 30-35% will come from fat. Many diets tend to RESTRICTED this nutrient, an error, since not all fats are bad, our bodies need so-called "good fats" found for example in the olive oil.
Here are some points we should consider when dieting, your hope will be very useful!
