Carbs and fat make an explosive combination.

Both are energy dense supplies for your body and overeating them leads to an excess calories intake, your body will store in the form of fat.

Be mindful of the energy you need throughout your day.

Diet not working?

Watch out the quantity.

Eating too much healthy foods, specially those higher in calories, like nuts, is one major reason for not achieving weight loss results. 🍜🍽️

Huge storm last night.

Lots of chaos this morning but as with everything else there is always something positive to look at.

Sea foam flying in the wind and huge beautiful trees destroyed, in Cascais and Estoril, near Lisbon.

Who loves dark chocolate with 70% or more cocoa? How often do you eat it?

Dark chocolate is a nutrient dense and healthy food.

It's rich in flavonoids, a powerful antioxidant, and packed with essential minerals like iron, magnesium, copper, and manganese. 🍜🍽️🍫😋

Did you know, words ending in '-ose' often refer to sugars?

For example, glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, and maltose are all types of sugar.

This little trick can be a useful guideline to control your sugar intake.

Do you drink green tea?

Teas are healthy drinks as long as you don't fill them with sugar, but green tea is particulary rich in antioxidants and provides a wider range of health benefits than other teas.

Soups are my kind of comfort food.

Veggie soups are warm and cozy and rich in vitamins and minerals.

This one is made of carrots, a small turnip and spinach.

Protein snack when I'm not on keto:

1 skyr yogurt (about 200g)
1 small apple (no more than 100g)

total protein = 22g
total carbs = 21g
total fat = 0g

To lower the carb intake, you can replace the apple with some berries. 🍜

Are you eating your greens?

Green vegetables are low in calories, with no fat and few carbs, but high in fiber and important nutrients like vitamins and minerals.

They are important for overall health and help you to keep a healthy weigh as their fiber promotes satiety.

What is your waist size?

Everybody knows that excessive fat, specially visceral fat, is not healthy.

A simple and fast method to know if you're on the right track is to measure your waist size.

Aim for a waist size of one half of your height, maximum.

Let's measure?
