The Color Diet<\/strong> is a nutritional regimen that offers benefits for both your waistline and health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The human body is an ecosystem whose primary goal is to maintain balance within itself: from this balance, health, good physical condition, and optimized energy levels depend.<\/p>\n

To achieve this, and ensure the body has the necessary resources for its proper functioning, it needs a complete and as varied a diet as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To keep it healthy, therefore, it’s necessary to provide it with all the (macro and micro) nutrients possible, as each has a very different role once ingested.<\/p>\n

The Color Diet aims at just that: here’s what it consists of and why it will make you healthier and more beautiful.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the Color Diet<\/h2>\n

We all know that the recommended serving of fruits and vegetables by nutritionists is five portions a day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is less known, however, is that those five portions should be of five different colors.<\/strong> This will allow covering all the necessary phytonutrients (which are nutrients contained in plants) essential for health.<\/p>\n

To understand why, just know that phytonutrients give plants their color<\/strong> (besides protecting them from external aggressions and diseases).<\/em><\/p>\n

And depending on the color, plants contain different nutrients and therefore provide different benefits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The more colors on the plate, the more benefits they assure us.<\/em><\/p>\n

What are the Different Colors and their Purposes<\/h2>\n

Foods divided by color have specific properties both from a nutritional and weight loss perspective.<\/p>\n

White<\/h5>\n

Garlic, onion, cauliflower, fennel, mushrooms, pears, leeks, celery; aid digestion, have purifying properties, keep bad cholesterol at bay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Green<\/h5>\n

leafy greens, green salads, broccoli, cabbage, asparagus, artichokes, spinach, zucchini, kiwi; have positive effects on eyes, bones, and teeth, reduce appetite, and prolong the feeling of satiety.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Red<\/h5>\n

Tomatoes, strawberries, watermelon, radishes; improve the urinary system, enhance memory, stimulate and speed up metabolism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yellow-orange<\/h5>\n

Apricots, oranges, tangerines, carrots, persimmons, pumpkin, peaches; strengthen the immune system, help skin health and counteract cellulite thanks to their diuretic properties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blue-purple<\/h5>\n

Blueberries, eggplants, plums, figs, black grapes; have a relaxing power and counteract aging.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How is the Ideal Meal Composed in the Color Diet<\/h2>\n

For an ideal meal, we should have all the micro and macro nutrients on the plate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ideally, divide the plate into thirds: one-third should be complex carbohydrates, one-third protein, one-third vegetables.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout the day, with your choice of fruits and vegetables, we should cover all five colors. A mix of all will ensure all the necessary phytonutrients<\/strong> for the body and organism.<\/p>\n

How to Understand if There are Nutritional Deficiencies<\/h2>\n

“The simplest method is to keep a food diary, in which for a week you record, with extreme precision and honesty, everything you consume,<\/strong>“<\/em> explains Olivera Zajelac, a nutritionist at Nutrilite<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Only then will we be able to have a clear view of what we really eat. We often tend to think we eat less and better than we actually do.<\/em><\/p>\n

Based on that, we can understand each person’s deficiencies. This helps us decide what changes to make to their diet and what supplements to combine.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because the truth is that each of us has very different eating habits and tastes,<\/strong> but almost no one can – also due to the impossibility of eating at home or at the right times – ensure the body gets all the nutrients it needs.”<\/em><\/p>\n

To ensure the body gets all the necessary phytonutrients, it often requires combining one’s diet with a supplement like Nutrilite Double X<\/strong>, which contains 12 vitamins, 10 minerals, and plant-based ingredients obtained from 22 different varieties of fruits and vegetables grown sustainably and without pesticides or toxic substances to help the brain, immune system, and energy levels.<\/strong> All in three pills should be taken with meals for 31 days.<\/p>\n
