Losing weight is easy if you have good daily habits.
Friction-based weight loss
No need to sweat it out on various fitness equipment, no need to painfully say goodbye to all kinds of delicious food, and no need to keep up with strange tips from all over the world. Just "stroking" yourself for 10 minutes every day can easily help you lose excess fat.
After showering, rub your skin with firm pressure. You can use your palms directly, or a small Japanese loofah massage board available at beauty stores. Start on the left side, rubbing upwards from your ankles to your thighs with both hands. Rub the thighs for a while before continuing upwards, rubbing your buttocks with one hand and your abdomen with the other, making circular motions or rubbing in straight lines left, right, up, and down. After five minutes, switch to the right side and repeat the same movements. These movements accelerate the burning of subcutaneous fat, and are especially effective for the "fat warehouses" of the abdomen and thighs.
The Amazing Fork Method
Believe it or not, even a small fork can make your big undertaking twice as efficient!
This method is actually quite simple, with only two basic steps: First, replace your cutlery with a pretty little fork, and put away your usual chopsticks and spoon; second, be sure to follow Western dining etiquette and hold the fork firmly in your left hand. From a dietary perspective, metabolism is slower at night, making it easier for fat to accumulate. If you consume a lot of calories before bed, your body will become increasingly obese. Therefore, dinner should be as simple as possible and avoid too many calories. When those of us who are used to using chopsticks eat with a fork in our left hand, it undoubtedly slows down our eating speed. It takes about 20 minutes for the signal of fullness to travel from the stomach to the brain, so the slower you eat, the less you eat. Moreover, foods that can be eaten with a fork are generally simpler; with less food and fewer types of food, how can you become a "big-bellied woman"?
Drinking water, results seen in one day
Everyone knows drinking water is good, but don't assume that simply guzzling water from a bottle every day will magically make your excess weight disappear. When should you drink water throughout the day? What kind of water should you drink? What are the benefits of different types of water? There's a lot to consider. The following water-drinking schedule will make it clear!
Drinking a large glass of lightly salted water first thing in the morning, before a hearty breakfast, helps with bowel movements and gives your digestive system a thorough cleanse, preventing a bloated belly.
Drinking lemon juice during the morning workday can help detoxify the intestines and stomach, accelerate metabolism, and the aroma of lemon can also soothe nerves and improve work efficiency, making it a win-win situation.
Drinking a glass of warm water before lunch can help fill your stomach and reduce the amount of food you eat at lunch; it can also replenish the water your body has lost and speed up your metabolism.
When it's tea time, my appetite kicks in again. Potato chips, cookies, and soda are all fattening foods. At this time, I might as well brew a cup of rose tea or vanilla tea, which can not only suppress my appetite, but also nourish my skin.
Drinking vegetable juice at dinner, along with water, helps reduce the intake of carbohydrates and sugars, which is the correct way to drink water. Therefore, a dinner mainly consisting of protein and vegetable juice is not only low in calories but also rich in fiber, which can accelerate the excretion of fat.
