Francisca del Pino, o en instagram como: FranFitnhealthy es una de mis grandes inspiraciones en lo que se refiere a comida saludable, por eso hoy la invité a escribir aquí [#TresChicPeople] sobre su estilo de vida y por su puesto para que a partir de su experiencia nos motive a buscar esa mejor versión de nosotros mismos:
Siempre me ha gustado cocinar, especialmente dulces, pero recién en el
2015 comencé a ser más consciente sobre los alimentos que consumía y los
ingredientes que utilizaba.
No fue fácil hacer el cambio y entender qué significaba realmente
ser saludable, pero de a poquito lo fui aprendiendo. Por eso quiero compartir
mi experiencia y mi punto de vista sobre este tema.
Les
cuento que a los 15 años comencé a sentirme insegura
de mi cuerpo, pensaba que estaba gorda y que debía hacer dietas extremas
y
muchísimo cardio para poder verme como las modelos de revistas. Después
de una o dos semanas. cuando no veía los resultados que quería, me daba
por vencido y
volvía a mi mal habito de comer comida chatarra y hacer cero actividad
física. Y
así seguí por varios meses. Me costó mucho entender que todo se trata
del equilibrio y que los extremos no
sirven. Por ejemplo, si decidimos hacer una dieta que no nos permite comer
pan y chocolate, lo más probable es que no duremos más de 1 mes ya que
vamos a querer comer ese pan y chocolate (por lo menos para mi sería así).
Entonces en vez de irme a los extremos, comencé a proponerme metas
pequeñas y alcanzables cada día.
Francisca del Pino, or instagram as: FranFitnhealthy is one of my greatest inspirations when it comes to healthy food, that's why today I invited her to write here [#TresChicPeople] about her lifestyle and of course to get inspired by her experience to look for that better version of ourselves:
I have always liked to cook, especially sweets, but just at 2015 I began to be more conscious about the food I consumed and the ingredients I used.
It was not easy to make the change and understand what it really meant to be healthy, but little by little I learned it. That's why I want to share my experience and my point of view on this subject.
Let me them you that at 15 years old I started to feel insecure about my body. I thought I was fat and that I had to do extreme diets and a lot of cardio to be able to see myself as magazine models. After one or two weeks I did not see the results I wanted, I gave up and went back to my bad habit of eating junk food and doing cero physical activity. I kept on it for several months and had a hard time understanding that everything is about balance. For example, if we decide to make a diet that does not allow us to eat bread and chocolate, it is likely that we will not last more than 1 month since we will want to eat that bread and chocolate (at least for me it would be like that). So instead of going to the extremes, I began to propose small and achievable goals every day.

Por dónde comenzar? Aquí les dejo algunos tips:
1. Revisa los alimentos que consumes.
Intenta dejar los alimentos procesados y empaquetados.
Aprende a hacer tus propios snacks, granola, tortas, etc. Verás que en
internet puedes encontrar miles de recetas de todo tipo que contienen sólo
ingredientes naturales. Con el tiempo tu cuerpo te agradecerá y se sentirás
muchísimo mejor. Enfócate en comer comida real como frutas, verduras, legumbres,
pescados, huevo, etc. y consumir cantidades en moderación de cada uno. Mas allá
de las calorías, lo importante es entender exactamente que es lo que estamos colocando
en nuestro cuerpo.
2. Mantente activo
Es importante mantenerse activo y no crear excusas.
No importa que no puedas ir al gym, puedes hacer ejercicio en tu casa, salir a
correr, sacar a pasear a tu perro, jugar futbol/ volley/ tenis/ etc.. Y si no
tienes suficiente tiempo entonces comienza de a poco, toma las escaleras en vez
del ascensor, camina 15 minutos después de almorzar/cenar, siempre será mejor
algo que nada. Mi consejo es que no comiences con ejercicios que son muy
intensos o que no disfrutas hacer, porque eso te agotará y será mas fácil darse
por vencido.
Where to start? Here are some tips:
1. Check the foods you eat.
Try to leave the processed and packaged foods. Learn how to make your own snacks, granola, cakes, etc. You will see that on the internet you can find thousands of recipes of all kinds that contain only natural ingredients. Over time your body will thank you and you will feel much better. Focus on eating real food like fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish, eggs, etc. and consume quantities in moderation of each one. Beyond calories, the important thing is to understand exactly what we are placing in our body.
2. Stay active
It is important to stay active and not create excuses. It does not matter that you can not go to the gym, you can exercise at home, go for a run, take your dog for a walk, play soccer/ volleyball/ tennis/ etc... And if you do not have enough time then start shortly, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk 15 minutes after lunch / dinner, always doing a little is better than nothing. My advice is that you do not start with exercises that are very intense or thouse you do not enjoy doing, because that will exhaust you and it will be easier to give up.
3. Escucha a tu cuerpo
Si te están matando esas ganas de comerte un brownie con
helado, cómete el brownie. Si no tienes ganas de hacer ejercicio un día, no lo
hagas. Lo bueno de mantener una vida saludable es que sabes que la mayoría del
tiempo vas a estar comiendo bien y ejercitando tu cuerpo entonces no pasa nada
cuando te comes ese “cheat meal” o si no entrenas un día. Aprendamos a escuchar
a nuestros cuerpos.
4. Ten Paciencia
Estás cambiando muchas partes de tu vida y de tus hábitos
diarios. Se paciente contigo mismo y date la oportunidad de equivocarte sin
sentirte culpable. Aparte de la comida y el ejercicio, es muy importante
nuestra salud mental, por eso debemos tener una actitud y mentalidad positiva
para seguir motivándonos cada día.
3. Listen to your body
If you really are dieing to eat a brownie with ice cream, go for that brownie. If you do not feel like exercising one day, do not do it. The good thing about maintaining a healthy life is that you know that most of the time you will be eating well and exercising your body so nothing happens when you eat that cheat meal or if you do not exercise one day. Let's learn to listen to our bodies.
4. Be Patience
You are changing many parts of your life and your daily habits. Be patient and give yourself the opportunity to make mistakes without feeling guilty. Mental health is as important as food and exercise so, we must have a positive attitude and mentality in order to continue motivating ourselfs every day.
