“Eat breakfast like a king.”
Preparing a king breakfast does not mean eating in large quantities, without any quality criteria. You should focus on the right foods that have benefit to your health. Complex carbohydrates (whole wheat bread, oat flakes), dairy proteins, seeds and dried fruits and of course, fruits are some examples of what should be listed on the breakfast table.

Carbohydrates are the fuel of the body. They provide energy for essential activities such as locomotion. However, it is necessary to select the carbohydrates we consume. We should consume foods rich in starch and fiber. Whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, whole grains, potatoes, and cassava are examples of carbohydrates that should be consumed in moderation. In this list we can still add fruits and vegetables, which although most people tend to forget that they also have carbohydrates.

Good fats that should be ingested are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Some of the foods rich in good fats are: avocado, fish, almonds, nuts, pistachios, flax seeds and chia, olive oil, among others.
– Eat protein at all meals.
Proteins contribute to the formation of muscles, strengthen the immune system and are the basis of many functions of the nervous system. Proteins are mainly found in dairy products, eggs and meats. We can also consume vegetable protein in legumes like soybeans, peas and beans.
– Food supplements.
Sometimes food can be aided by dietary supplements, such as creatine. Creatine is present in the flesh, however it would be necessary to ingest large amounts to obtain the amount of creatine we need. It helps the body tone and build muscle, and provides energy during the practice of daily and sporting activities. Food supplements are also a great option for vegetarians.

– Make several meals instead of 3 main heavy meals.
It is preferable to make 4 to 6 meals throughout the day, well dosed, than to only make 3 heavy meals. Well dosed means that it is not necessary to starve to lose weight. On the contrary, the habit of remaining several hours without eating is contraindicated for any diet. Without a frequent diet, the body (as a defense mechanism) reduces metabolism and triggers fat conservation. That is, when we return to eating, the body will absorb unnecessary fat foods.
