Lose weight with lemon, oats and spirulina

Lemon

Lemon is a great food to help with weight loss and maintain good health. Lemon acts as a great detoxifier in our body; it helps to digest and destroy fat and helps in the absorption of nutrients due to its high vitamin C content.  In addition, despite its sour taste, lemon has the ability to neutralize excess acidity in the stomach; it actually acts as an alkalizing agent, which helps ensure good health.

How do we include it in our diet?

• On an empty stomach: drink half a lemon juice with one or two glasses of water. This is also a great way to prevent constipation.
• As a sauce: reduces the use of salt and vinegar.
• Between meals: throughout the day you can drink lemon water, lightly sweetened with stevia if desired.

Oats

Oats are a highly nutritious grain that is rich in fiber and other nutrients that help stay saturated and prevent cravings. For this reason, eating oats with breakfast is a great choice. In addition to traditional porridge, you can make it in the following ways:

• Oat drink: You can buy it ready-made (choose a sugar-free drink) or prepare it at home and mix it with fruit and nuts.
• Cooked oatmeal with oat drink : Similar to rice with milk, but using only oats. You can cook oatmeal in oatmeal for a few minutes and add a touch of cinnamon and ginger. This is a particularly recommended option on cold days, as it provides a lot of energy and heat.
• Full breakfast: Ideal to keep full for a few hours. Mix 2 tablespoons of ground oats, a small amount of cream cheese (or yogurt), seeds, lemon juice, a handful of nuts and dried fruit, and a tablespoon of honey. You can also add fresh fruit. In addition to being nutritious, all the ingredients are healthy, so your body digests them easily and doesn’t cause weight gain, on the contrary.

• Among mashed vegetables : You can add a handful of oatmeal to mashed vegetables to give creaminess and texture, instead of using milk or potatoes.

Spirulina

Spirulina is a freshwater algae that is considered a superfood because of its excellent nutritional properties. It is rich in proteins, enzymes, leafy greens, essential fatty acids, vitamins (A, B, E and H) and minerals (iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium…). Superfoods are ideal for weight loss diets because they contain a small amount of a lot of nutrients, allowing us to reduce the amount of food we eat and still feel full.

In addition to making you feel full, spirulina also regulates blood sugar levels and helps prevent anxiety, which often causes us to eat more than is necessary.

We recommend taking spirulina as a tablet and always before meals. If you want to lift your weight, take spirulina after a meal.

For people who don’t like the taste of spirulina, we recommend trying the smoothies and drinks found in this article.
