The diet is finally returning to its original connotation, meaning a healthy eating style that has nothing to do with restrictive and low-calorie regimes.

With 155 thousand followers on Instagram, Amelia offers the positive nutrition that allows you to rediscover the pleasure and joy precisely through food and a balanced diet.
An important aspect in a period like this, in which food has become for many an emotional comfort, ending up having positive effects on mood but disastrous on health and shape.
Accomplice the social distancing, Amalia Freer has created an online course, The Joy Of Healthy Eating with Create Academy, with videos and pills explaining how to build a healthy and balanced relationship with food.

Focus on whole foods
“If there’s one change that can make a difference to our overall health and well-being, it’s increasing the amount of nutrient-rich whole foods such as fruits and vegetables, high-quality protein sources, fats, whole grains, nuts. , seeds and water. Basing most meals on this type of food is often the most important step in building a healthy diet, ”explained Amalia.
Balance
To prepare a balanced dish including all the nutrients, Amalia always starts with a couple of servings of vegetables (or a serving of fresh fruit for breakfast), then adds a source of protein (such as meat, fish, eggs, yogurt natural, legumes, nuts or seeds etc.), and some healthy fats such as olive oil or avocado. If you are feeling hungry or exercising, also include some minimally processed carbohydrates like new potatoes, sweet potatoes, or whole grains like brown rice or oats. Then add a touch of flavor with chili, lemon zest and juice, black pepper or other spices.
Food is a source of well-being
Finding happiness through food requires a bit of experimentation and playfulness, trying new ingredients, new recipes and new ways of cooking and eating, until we find the way that works for us. When you start a diet, in fact, the risk is to become repetitive, while a balanced diet intended as a lifestyle implies varying foods as much as possible.
Food does not have to become the center of everything
Eating well is a gift that is given to the body, to allow it to always function at its best. As in all things, however, it takes moderation and balance, so food doesn’t have to become an overkill. “Sometimes, we need to focus on other aspects of life first to be able to work on our nutrition. Likewise, we must avoid focusing so much on food that we risk losing sight of even the bigger picture, ”says Amalia.
Sustainability and seasonality
Our health is inevitably linked to the health of the Planet, which is why awareness of what you are buying is the first step for a diet mindful for themselves and for the environment. “I like to encourage the consumption of seasonal foods, not only because it helps you get in touch with the crop cycles, but because it allows you to buy more locally and enjoy a greater variety of foods throughout the year” .
