We agreed to lose weight together, why did others lose weight but not you? If you want to lose weight quickly, you must pay attention to the proper nutrition combination in your three meals. Here are 8 essential 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 drinks with added sugar or milk (such as coffee, milk tea, soda). You can drink plain water, soy milk, or skim milk.
3. Many people think that eating only fruits will not make you fat, but eating too much can still generate fat. Although fruits have low calories, eating too much can accumulate a lot of calories. For example, the calories of five oranges are approximately equal to a bowl of rice. The sugar in fruits can easily be converted into fat. According to the Chinese dietary guidelines, the recommended amount of fruit per day is 100-200g, so consuming about 200g of fruit daily is sufficient.
4. Avoid eating while watching TV, as you may unknowingly consume a lot of food. The best time to eat should be controlled within 30 minutes.
5. Snacks are the biggest enemy during weight loss, so you should eat them sparingly or even avoid them altogether. Did you know? Developing the 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 after each meal, as it can remind yourself not to eat anymore.
7. Drink 8-10 cups of water every day. During the weight loss period, eating less can easily cause constipation, and drinking more water can help improve it. In addition, during exercise, the waste products from fat breakdown need a large amount of water to be eliminated. Drinking more than 2500ml of water per day is necessary to ensure sufficient hydration.
8. A method to prevent overeating is to chew slowly and swallow slowly. When you eat an appropriate amount of food, your blood sugar increases, stimulating the central nervous system to send a signal of fullness. However, it takes about 15-20 minutes for this message to be transmitted, so avoid eating too quickly, and eat slowly to avoid overeating.
