Bring vegan proteins to the table in the form of specific supplements or foods, especially broad beans and peas, but also asparagus, broccoli and baby carrots: they purify, satiate and reduce overweight.
The protein requirement of an adult is about one gram of protein per kilogram of normal weight. For example: if our reader's normal weight were 60 kilos, her average daily protein requirement would be 60 grams in any case, even if she were overweight (80 kilos) or underweight (50 kilos). So, in order to know how much protein you need, you have to consult the tables that indicate your ideal weight (you can easily find them on the Internet but also in pharmacies) for various ages, and feed yourself accordingly. Another important point is that, when you overdo it with proteins of animal origin, the organism undergoes an accumulation of nitrogenous waste (proteins contain nitrogen) with consequent fatigue of the kidneys, increased intoxication and metabolic slowdown. So what is the solution? Opt for the proteins contained in legumes and vegetables!
Along with green proteins, make room for cereals
Unlike proteins of animal origin, which are classified as "noble" proteins, vegetable proteins do not contain a sufficient quantity of essential amino acids. For this reason, they should always be combined with cereals (such as rice and wholemeal pasta), which complete their nutritional intake. A complete protein dish (but without meat!) is pasta and beans, seasoned with rosemary, saffron and raw olive oil.
Combine these recipes with a salad: you'll immediately start to "lighten up".
It is really worth re-evaluating the nutritional contribution of vegetables in spring, and in particular those with a higher protein concentration and low calorie intake. With a kilo of vegetables per day, to be divided between the various meals of the day, you can get from 15 to 30 g of protein: a not inconsiderable amount, the quality of which is enhanced by the right combination of vegetables with carbohydrates and olive oil.
That's not all! If you eat protein-packed vegetables every day, you will gain many benefits for your figure:
- ock up on fiber: this will reactivate your gut and flatten your waistline.
- ke in large doses of antioxidant vitamins, and you'll fight sagging, cellulite and stretch marks.
- ke in minerals that speed up metabolic functions and improve drainage, reducing retention.
