That is why all Scandinavian women are slim

Maybe you've noticed it before, but when you think of the Scandinavian country (mainly men are guilty of this), you mainly think of attractive, slim, and blonde beauties. In any case, not of thick bottoms or a little fat. That could very well be true, because a lot of this beauty is the result of the popular Nordic Diet. And we could definitely take a page from that.

In the Nordic Diet, you won't find double sandwiches with butter and sprinkles, no creamy pasta carbonara or spicy Indian dishes. curry. What you will find in the fridge is fresh, pure, and especially from your own country. A fish that has just been pulled from the water or a bunch of red beets picked straight from the Scandinavian land. All that freshness is then prepared as honestly and naturally as possible without any E-number involved.

But why is the Nordic Diet such a success, I hear you thinking. You eat a lot fewer calories, causing the pounds to drop off, your blood pressure and cholesterol levels plummet, and you also help the environment a bit. The diet mainly consists of dishes from the Norwegian cuisine, which are mainly pure and unprocessed. They contain less sugar, less fat, more fiber, and especially a lot of fish. Everything you eat should be as healthy and sustainable as possible. You won't see a can of cola in the fridge, and a hamburger is not done. Packaged foods make way for fresh products from local farmers or from the organic section in the supermarket.

Have you suddenly gotten a craving for such a slim Scandinavian body? Then write this down on your shopping list.

• Oranges, melons, and bananas make way for blueberries, red currants, and plums.
• Less bread and pasta, more beans and legumes.
• Replace tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchinis with parsnips, red beets, and fennel. They promote digestion and are your lifesaver when you have a food baby.
• Corn and brown rice are now off the table. They make way for pearl barley and oats. We stir flaxseed into our oatmeal, and a handful of sunflower seeds is ideal for tackling your afternoon slump.
• More fish, less meat. Herring, mackerel, salmon, or white fish. And if you still want a piece of meat on your plate? Go for a piece of game.
• Olive oil can be swapped for rapeseed oil and flaxseed oil. Good for a healthy skin and packed with vitamin E.
