These seven weight loss methods are gentle on the body and don't require long-term adherence; they might be perfect for you!
1. Cucumber and Egg Method
Eating only cucumbers and eggs for each meal, replacing all three meals, for seven days will guarantee weight loss. However, you'll really miss the taste of Lao Gan Ma (a type of chili sauce) afterward. It's a great way to get rid of excess oil.
Principle: Cucumber flesh is crisp, sweet, juicy, and fragrant. It contains pectin, fruit acids, and bioactive enzymes, which can promote metabolism and treat sunburn, freckles, and skin allergies. Cucumbers also have heat-clearing, diuretic, and constipation-preventing effects. The malonic acid in fresh cucumbers effectively inhibits the conversion of carbohydrates into fat; therefore, regularly eating cucumbers is very beneficial for weight loss and preventing coronary heart disease.
2. The method of not eating after noon
Don't eat anything after 3 PM. Of course, you can't overeat when you can eat. This way, you can lose several kilograms in a week.
Principle: During nighttime rest, the body consumes less energy, and excess energy is stored as fat. Important notes regarding this method: Breakfast and lunch must be substantial and nutritious to replenish the necessary nutrients for the day.
Health tip: If you are really hungry, you can drink more water or eat an apple.
3. Skipping regular meals
Eat less of your regular meals and incorporate soy milk into your three meals a day. It's very beneficial for girls to drink soy milk, but make sure it's unsweetened. It's better to buy a soy milk maker and make your own every day; it's convenient and inexpensive.
Principle: Soy milk is primarily extracted from soybeans, which are rich in high-quality plant-based protein. Besides soy protein, it also contains abundant isoflavones and saponins. These components can inhibit the absorption of lipids and carbohydrates in the body, effectively burning body fat. Therefore, from the moment you drink soy milk, these beneficial components are working throughout the digestion, absorption, and fat-burning stages!
4. Apple Diet
Eating only apples for two days, followed by a normal, controlled diet for three days, and repeating this cycle several times, yields good results.
principle:
Obese people are almost always obese because their stomachs expand due to overeating, making it difficult to control their appetite. The apple diet can shrink the stomach, making it easier to control appetite after weight loss, and also normalizing taste, reducing cravings for spicy or greasy foods.
The apple diet can promote the production of white blood cells in the blood, improve the body's resistance and immunity, and also promote nerve and endocrine function, contributing to beauty and skin health. The advantage of the apple diet is that you don't have to starve; you can eat apples whenever you're hungry. Because apples are low in calories, no matter how many you eat, it won't exceed your daily calorie intake, so weight loss is natural. It can also improve symptoms such as dry skin, allergic dermatitis, and constipation.
