Wrong habits

Healthy fats. “This is fundamental because we strive for saturation.” A a nice drizzle of olive oil or half an avocado. But just one element of fat is enough.”

A good protein. “egg or one Slice of ham“.

“Forbidden” food

To start the day, a Good wholemeal toast with oil and ham It is best to add it to the plate so that our body has enough energy for the rest of the day. “I agree with whole grains for breakfast,” emphasizes Caretto, “perhaps combined with.” Yogurt macro».
