When it comes to weight loss, everyone hopes to lose weight through diet because it's the easiest way. And everyone thinks they have basic knowledge about food-based weight loss. Actually, they often unknowingly make some mistakes that lead to weight gain. Here's a summary:
1. Many people believe that eating only fruit will not make them fat, but in fact, eating too much fruit will still produce fat. Although fruit is low in calories, eating too much fruit will accumulate a lot of calories. For example, the calories in five oranges are roughly equivalent to the calories in a bowl of rice. In addition, the sugar in fruit is easily converted into fat. Moreover, the recommended amount of fruit in the Chinese Dietary Guidelines is 100-200g, so eating about 200g of fruit per day is enough.
2. Avoid eating while watching TV. You'll unknowingly consume a lot of food. The ideal time is within half an hour.
3. During weight loss, snacks are the biggest enemy, so you must eat them sparingly (unless you choose some low-fat, low-sugar snacks in moderation). However, many girls want to lose weight but can't give up all kinds of snacks. There's only one way to describe it: you can't have your cake and eat it too!
4. After dinner, do not eat anything for four hours before bed. It's best to brush your teeth every time you go back to sleep, as this will remind you not to eat anything.
5. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily. During weight loss, reduced food intake can easily lead to constipation, which can be alleviated by drinking more water. Additionally, within two hours of exercise, the waste products from fat breakdown require a significant amount of water to be eliminated. Drinking at least 2500 ml per day is necessary to ensure adequate intake.
6. The way to prevent overeating is to chew slowly. When you eat a moderate amount of food, your blood sugar increases, which stimulates the central nervous system and sends a satiety signal. However, it takes about 15-20 minutes to transmit this signal, so avoid wolfing down your food and eat slowly to avoid overeating.
7. Never pour soup over rice while eating, as the soup contains a lot of oil and sugar and is very high in calories.
8. During the weight loss period, do not drink any sugary or milky drinks (such as coffee, milk tea, soda). You can drink water, soy milk, or skim milk.
Finally, perseverance is essential! Many dieters experience a plateau after 3-4 weeks of dieting. This is because the body has become accustomed to eating smaller portions. Don't be discouraged at this point. If you give up and binge eat, your weight will easily rebound. So, you must persevere.
