A man who knows how to attract and keep the attention of women is generally at peace with himself. To feel good about yourself and your body, it’s important to take good care of yourself and provide your body with the right things so that it can develop properly and be able to make you happy.
Diet is a key element in maintaining a good mood and general well-being. So it’s an essential starting point for a healthy lifestyle and feeling good. So it’s important to consider which nutrients to prioritize and which to avoid. How can we build a diet that suits our individual needs?
In short, by taking care of your body and your diet, you can improve your general well-being and be able to attract and keep the attention of the person you want.
- Carbohydrates There are two types of carbohydrate. Those with a high glycemic content and those with a low glycemic content. Low-glycemic ones, such as pasta, fruit and vegetables, quinoa, chestnuts and cereals, should be increased. Legumes should also be favored. High-glycemic foods include sweets, white rice and French fries. So it’s a good idea to look at foods with a low glycemic index and give them priority. This will help you put on weight in a healthy, muscle-building way. Carbohydrates are our main source of energy. They are not essential, unlike proteins and lipids, but they are a real plus, especially if you are involved in sporting activities (which you are, aren’t you?).
- Lipids Lipids: like carbohydrates, there are those to be favored, those to be moderated and those to be avoided. Lipids are fats, and some of them are very good and essential. Bad fats are those rich in saturated fatty acids. They shouldn’t be banned, because our bodies need a bit of everything, but they should be taken in small quantities. Like cookies, cookies in general, palm oil and anything containing it (like Nutella!). Fats to be moderated are butter, cheese and cold meats. These contain many things that are good for the body, but should be eaten sparingly to avoid excess cholesterol, for example. They also promote weight gain. Then there are the good fats, the ones to be favored (but always in moderation). These are fats rich in omega-3 and omega-9. You’ll find them in olive oil, nuts as a rule, avocado and fish. Lipids structure our cell membranes, help transport proteins and hormones in the blood and contribute to the production of certain hormones, such as sex hormones. They are therefore essential, even if you want to watch your weight.
- And finally, the building blocks of our organism: proteins.. Proteins are the building blocks of your body, forming your bones, muscles and hair, as well as the antibodies in your immune system that defend you. Which proteins to choose and where to find them? There are two kinds of protein: vegetable and animal.
- Animal: eggs, white meat, red meat (in moderation to avoid excess iron), fish and seafood, cheese and dairy products (not to be abused, especially if they are not low-fat).
- Vegetarian: if you’re vegetarian, you can find protein in certain legumes and cereals, but they don’t contain all the protein your body needs on their own. So you need to combine them: rice-lentils, rice-beans, wheat-chickpeas, corn-beans.
As a bonus, think of your slimming trump card: fiber. Fiber is another type of carbohydrate that promotes and regulates transit. It also prolongs the feeling of satiety and lowers the glycemic index. Fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, legumes and dried oilseeds such as almonds and walnuts.
It’s up to you to fine-tune a healthy diet that’s just right for you!
