New Year's Resolutions - Nr.1 Eat Better Daily Menu Tip for 21 days Weight Loss Nutrition Plan

Time to make those New Year's resolutions! And after the holiday glut of heavy feasts and high calorie beverages, it's no surprise that "lose weight" and "eat better" are at the top of your list. Instead of simply making your diet-related resolutions with the best of intentions, put the following diet tips into practice and stick to your New Year's resolutions all year.


Here are my suggestions for those of you who choose to “eat better”.

Daily Menu – 6 days per week + 1 day Detox.

Start with 3 weeks (21 days).


8-8.30 – Breakfast

Cheese (40 g) + Fruit
or
Yogurt (200 gr) + Fruit

10-10.30 – Snack

Tea + Fruit

12-12.30 – Lunch

Chicken (150 gr) + Salad (300 gr)
Or
Beef (150 gr) + Salad (300 gr)
Or
Meat Balls (150 gr) + Salad (300 gr)
Or
Fish (150 gr) + Salad (300 gr)
Or
2 boiled eggs + Salad (300 gr)

For Salad you can choose vegetables between: Kale, Cucumber, Tomato, Pepper, Cabbage, Carrot, Lettuce, Turnip, Zucchini, Green beans +spring onion + herbs.

Avoid potatoes as much as possible.

4-4.30 pm Snack

Tea + Fruit

7-7.30 pm – Dinner

Vegetarian dish


One day per week – DETOX

During this day you can eat only Fruits or Vegetables or Vegetarian Soup or Yogurt.
I recommend drinking 2 l of water per day + green tea as much as you like.
Try to avoid Coffee and Black tea.
You can season your dishes with sea salt and olive oil or sesame oil.
For Tea I recommend Honey – 1 tea spoon per cup.

For this period of time is highly important to stop drinking all type of alcohol, eat sugar, bread, pasta, biscuits, cakes and etc.


And don't forget  Your Every day Workout.

Raw Kale Salad Recipe: Sweet & Healthy


While Kale is a superfood with impressive nutrition benefits, eating kale raw can be difficult for some to enjoy. Don’t let its sometimes-bitter, tough texture intimidate you from using it in its simplest form.
I’m going to let you in on a huge secret on how you can transform the flavor and texture of these leaves to your liking. It’s simple – just give the leaves a massage.

I know what you must be thinking, but experienced kale lovers take kale massaging very seriously. Just like people in a tense and bitter mood, this cruciferous vegetable responds very well to a deep-tissue massage.
Wondering how you “massage” kale? After breaking the kale leaves up, grab a bunch in your hands: massage and roll them together for a few minutes. You should actually feel the tough leaves breakdown and become tender. If you taste them, you’ll notice that the bitterness that some find displeasing magically mellows.

Massaged kale is not only more pleasant on the palate: breaking through the tough fiber barrier allows for easier digestion so that the plentiful vitamins K, A, C, minerals calcium, and manganese is absorbed more easily into the bloodstream. Something great about a vegetable like kale, full of nutritious fat-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble phytochemicals, is that it can be paired with a healthy oil, like olive oil, which helps the body further absorb and utilize these compounds.

Now, all that’s left is finding the perfect toppings to complement the kale for a tasty and nutrient-dense salad. Sweet citrus fruits stand up well next to kale, and creamy avocado is a great addition of healthy fat that will further mute any residual bitterness.

Raw Kale Salad Recipe | Preparation Instructions
Raw kale salad recipe
1.      To make the dressing, squeeze the juice of one whole orange into a cup or bowl and add the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set the dressing aside.
2.    To prepare the salad, put the washed, chopped, and massaged kale into a large bowl. Add in the sliced avocado and sliced almonds. Peel the second orange and after removing as much of the white pith as possible, cut up into large chunks and add to the salad.
3. Pour some of the dressing on the salad and enjoy! (A good tip to remember when making a kale salad is to let the dressing sit on the greens for at least 5 minutes, up to an hour; this allows for the greens to continue to soften and absorb some of the flavor).
