Weight-loss: Nutrition
Nutrition with LuckyFit
The nutrition and fitness program, which LuckyFit is based on, was developed by the eminent dietologist prof. Bozhidar Popov, chairman of the Bulgarian Scientific Association of Nutrition and Dietetics.
The program is oriented towards lasting weight reduction, but not by means of hard diets or food deprivation.
The main formula of success is the relation:
Low-energy balanced nutritional regimen + increased motional activity = Optimal lasting reduction of weight
According to the conducted researches and tests, the relation between right way of feeding and physical activity leads to actual and considerable results – loss of more than 20% of the body weight for one year by many clients, and even more by some of them.
The effect of weight reduction is accompanied by other results, which are significant for health: reduction of cholesterol level, lower blood pressure, lowered risk of cancerous formations, less problems in cardio-vascular and digestive functions, rarer headaches, more energy in the organism, and many other positive effects.
According to the research of prof. Popov the things that are obstructive to the reduction of body weight and to the good health are:
- Insufficient breakfast
- Insufficient physical activity
- Insufficient consumption of foods, containing fibres
- Consumption of too much paste products (for example bread) and sugars
- Consumption of too much fats
- Insufficient consumption of vegetables
- Rich dinner directly before sleep
- Impaired metabolism
We offer to your attention four principles, which will help you to start the weight-loss program:

- Consume foods rich in “slow” carbohydrates: full-grain bread and pastry, boiled or roasted potatoes without oil, wild rice.
- Reduce to the lowest possible extent the consumption of salt and salty foods.
Water:
