6 tips for losing weight. The more you do them, the faster you lose weight. How many of them can you do?
Tips 1: Drink at least 1500ml of water daily.
Studies have found that drinking plenty of water can improve blood circulation, prevent false hunger caused by thirst, better control appetite, reduce calorie intake, and promote fat breakdown.
So, how much water do you drink daily? It's recommended to drink 1500ml of warm water daily, along with 2-3 cups of tea, to boost your metabolism.
Tips 2: Don't Eat Too Fast or Overeat
The best way to control your weight is to vary your eating speed. Don't gulp down your food. Chew your food slowly (it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register fullness signals). This will help you avoid overeating. When eating, don't overeat until you're full. Eat until you're 80% full. This helps you better manage your stomach capacity and can save you 100-150 calories per meal, making it a painless way to lose weight.
Tips 3: Eat only three meals a day and avoid snacks, afternoon tea, and late-night snacks.
The key to weight gain for many people isn't overeating at three meals, but rather overeating at snacks, afternoon tea, and late-night snacks, which lead to excess calories. If you can manage your diet by eating only three meals a day and controlling your cravings the rest of the time,
In the afternoon, when you feel like eating, drink plenty of warm water. If you're really hungry, try apples or cucumbers. Compared to chips, cookies, milk tea, and cake, these are much lower in calories, provide fiber and water, and promote a feeling of fullness. This helps you achieve a healthy calorie deficit throughout the day and help you lose weight faster.
Tips 4: Make a conscious effort to move more often
Don't just sit still. Make a conscious effort to get up and move more often. For example, instead of hunkering down on the couch watching TV or scrolling through your phone after dinner, go for a walk. Adding 5,000 steps a day can help burn an extra 150 calories.
Those who prefer not to go out can do some stretching exercises at home. An hour after meals, force yourself to get up and do squats, jumping jacks, and high-kick exercises. This activates your muscles, boosts metabolism, and promotes fat breakdown.
Tips 5: Go to bed earlier
Those trying to lose weight can unconsciously improve their fat burning efficiency by going to bed earlier and getting enough sleep. Why? Because people who don't get enough sleep and stay up late are more likely to experience negative emotions the next day and are more likely to crave high-calorie foods. Staying up late and not getting enough sleep overloads their bodies, accelerating aging and decreasing their metabolism.
Those who learn to go to bed earlier and get eight hours of sleep a day will lose weight faster than those who get less than 6.5 hours.
Tips 6: Eat More Vegetables
During your weight loss journey, eat more high-fiber vegetables. Vegetables are much lower in calories than meat and staple foods, reducing unnecessary fat and carbohydrate intake. They also provide dietary fiber. Dietary fiber absorbs water and swells in the stomach and intestines, promoting a feeling of fullness. It also removes fat and waste from the intestines, promoting fat breakdown.
It's recommended to start each meal with about 150 grams of vegetables, such as broccoli, celery, winter melon, cabbage, lettuce, and mushrooms. By this time, you'll feel somewhat full, and your meat and staple food intake will naturally decrease. Your calorie intake will also be controlled, making weight loss more successful.
