The nutritionist suggests meals to include in the diet and helps in the weight loss process
Maintaining a healthy diet is essential to maintaining your health and achieving your ideal weight. To achieve this goal, it is recommended to adopt a diet that reduces calorie intake and prioritizes foods rich in protein and fiber. With this in mind, nutritionist Ana Luisa Vilela, weight loss specialist, suggests you a menu rich in proteins to make peace with the scale.
The menu follows a 1200 calorie diet and includes vegetables of all colors. “Dietary re-education is the starting point for eliminating unwanted belly fat”, explains the professional. But remember: before starting any diet, seek a health professional to guide you properly.
