Modern people pursue a slim and beautiful figure, so everyone tries various methods to lose weight. So, how to easily lose weight?
【How to Easily Lose Weight】
1. Eat slower
The slower we eat, the easier it is to lose weight. This is because when our body starts to eat autonomously, after the food enters the stomach, the stomach will have a sense of satisfaction, also known as the feeling of fullness, and this feeling needs at least 20 minutes to be feedbacked to the brain.
So it is better to eat slower. After 20 minutes, whether your stomach has been filled with food or not, the nervous system will receive the signal of "fullness". Eating slower not only allows us to enjoy our food, but also avoids overeating. Most importantly, it can reduce the amount of food while solving the feeling of hunger.
2. Acupressure

【Common Misconceptions about Weight Loss】
1. The more you sweat, the more weight you lose
Sweating does not have a scientific basis for weight loss. The human body has about 3 million sweat glands. When heat causes blood vessels to dilate, water in the blood transfers heat to the surface of the skin, then evaporates with sweat, and transfers heat to the surrounding environment. In a high temperature environment, the amount of sweating can reach 8-12 liters per day. Sweating in summer is just a physiological phenomenon of the body regulating temperature, and it has little to do with burning fat.
2. Jogging for half an hour can easily lose weight
Only when the duration of exercise exceeds about 40 minutes, the body's fat can be mobilized and used as energy along with glycogen. With the prolongation of exercise time, the amount of fat energy supply can reach 85% of the total energy consumption. In other words, fat only starts to be consumed after 40 minutes. Therefore, exercises shorter than 40 minutes, regardless of their intensity, do not have significant fat consumption.
3. The more intense the exercise, the better
Exercise should be gradual. Too little exercise has no exercise effect, but too much exercise can cause damage to the body's functions. In physical exercise, the method of "overeating" or suddenly increasing the amount of exercise or suddenly interrupting the exercise should not be adopted.
