8 Key Elements of Effective Weight Loss Methods: What You Need to Know

February 3, 2024

We agreed to lose weight together, so why did others lose weight while you didn't? If you want to lose weight quickly, you must pay attention to the nutrition and balance of your three meals. Here are 8 key elements of weight loss methods that you must know!


1. When eating, never pour soup over rice, as the soup contains a lot of oil and sugar, which are high in calories.

2. During the weight loss period, do not drink any beverages with added sugar or milk (such as coffee, milk tea, soda). Instead, drink water, soy milk, or skim milk.

3. Many people think that eating only fruits will not make them gain weight, but eating too much can still produce fat. Although fruits have low calories, consuming them in large quantities can accumulate a lot of calories. For example, the calories of five oranges are equivalent to a bowl of rice. Moreover, the sugar in fruits can easily be converted into fat. According to the Chinese dietary guidelines, the recommended amount of fruits is 100-200g per day, so consuming around 200g of fruits daily is already sufficient.

4. Avoid eating while watching TV, as you may unknowingly consume a lot of food. The ideal time for a meal should be controlled within 30 minutes.

5. Snacks are the biggest enemy during weight loss, so you should eat them sparingly or not at all. Do you know that developing a habit of not eating snacks is the key to a healthy weight loss method?

6. After dinner, do not eat anything for 4 hours before going to bed. It is best to brush your teeth every time you return home, as it can remind you not to eat anything.

7. Drink 8-10 cups of water every day. During the weight loss period, eating less can easily cause constipation, which can be improved by drinking more water. In addition, within two hours of exercise, a large amount of water is needed to eliminate the waste products from fat breakdown. Drinking more than 2500 milliliters of water a day can ensure an adequate amount.

8. The method to prevent overeating is to chew slowly and savor each bite. When you have consumed an appropriate amount of food, the increase in blood sugar will stimulate the central nervous system to send a signal of satiety. However, it takes about 15-20 minutes for this message to be transmitted. Therefore, avoid wolfing down your food and eat slowly to avoid overeating.
