It is not true that the diet of athletes and people trying to lose weight is monotonous and full of sacrifices. A menu of people who watch their weight does not have to be limited to chicken, rice and broccoli. Valuable nutrients can be easily found in legumes and groats. Nuts and bananas, chia seeds, Goji berries, fresh fruit juices and young barley will provide us with an additional boost of vitamins and minerals. Protein cocktails and well-chosen supplements will fight with possible deficiencies in our body.
