We will not give you a recipe for a magic pill that will instantly make the scales show 55 kilos instead of the usual 80. The traditional way of getting rid of excess fat remains relevant at all times: proper nutrition (and not at all strict diets) and physical activity on a regular basis.
And yet, doctors and scientists are sure: by adding a few useful rules to your life, you can become slimmer and improve your well-being. And if you have already taken care of your body and health, all this will give an additional "slimming" effect.
1. Start eating breakfast
Or continue, if a full breakfast is your habit. Repeated research suggests that a good meal in the morning not only provides energy for several hours and helps you be more productive, but also helps you eat less during the day. Think over several options for healthy breakfasts containing healthy proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is better not to eat fried, fatty and sweet. Eggs, fruits, vegetables, yoghurts, cottage cheese, whole grain cereal is an excellent choice.
2. Normalize sleep
Experts from the University of Michigan found that lack of sleep helps to slow down the metabolism and does not allow the body to get rid of extra pounds - the body perceives what is happening as stress and accumulates fat just in case, and the saturation mechanism is disturbed. It has been proven that people who are not sleeping enough eat more (perhaps they just have time for one or two meals).
3. Use tricks with dishes
No need to juggle with plates, that's not what we're talking about! Darker shades and smaller cookware helps trick the brain and satiate faster. Use tall, narrow glasses to drink less sugary drinks if you can't skip them. Enter the rule of the plate: mentally divide it into 4 equal sectors, filling two of them with vegetables, one with protein food (meat, fish, eggs), and another with a side dish of carbohydrates (porridge, potatoes, pasta). This is the easiest way to eat in a balanced way.
4. Get rid of sensory irritants
When we eat in front of the TV or computer, leaf through the social network feed on our phone or tablet, our brain is not busy with food - it does not perceive what and in what volumes the stomach absorbs. In addition, if it is too light and noisy around, the body thinks that it is eating in stress, and will certainly decide to eat more "just in case." Eat in peace and quiet, in a comfortable environment.
5. Learn to eat at home
Surveys conducted among Americans from different states show that those who cook and eat at home more often get fewer calories and harmful substances compared to those who are used to eating in cafes and restaurants. At home, you always know what exactly you put into the prepared dish, and you do not use any tricks to enhance the taste, do not add extra fats and sugar. In addition, it is much more economical than eating "in public".
