The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays are just around the corner, but you still feel so overweight. What to do? Are there any good ways to lose weight quickly in a short period of time? Below, we'll tell you a few methods to help you lose weight quickly in a short period of time, allowing you to have a slim figure and enjoy the holidays to the fullest.
1. Exercise methods for fat loss:
If you can't exercise in the morning, at other times you should do 20 minutes of light strength training first, followed by cardio. This is because the body usually starts using energy stored in fat after about 20 minutes, so when you start brisk walking or running, you begin burning fat immediately. Just thinking about it makes you feel great.
2. Eat something every 2.5 to 3 hours:
Eat five meals a day instead of three large meals. This way you won't feel too hungry. Of course, each meal shouldn't be a big feast; try to keep them balanced. However, this can be difficult when you're at work, so bring plenty of yogurt, milk, and fruit to eat (roasted unsalted soybeans are a good snack option). On weekends, you can cook some more substantial meals.
3. Find a partner to lose weight with:
Having someone to discuss weight loss tips and progress with every day, encouraging each other, is much easier than fighting alone. It's also better if it's someone you see every day, so everyone's progress is clear and less likely to slack off.
4. Exercise should be done in the morning:
There are several benefits. First, while waking up early is painful, you've tackled the most painful thing of the year (exercise) first, and your whole day will feel much better. Exercising on an empty stomach in the morning makes it easier to burn fat for energy, rather than the energy stored in your muscles or the carbohydrates you just ate. This is why you should eat less carbohydrates for the first two weeks—forcing your body to draw energy from stored fat to maximize fat loss. Because you're hungry in the morning, the exercise intensity shouldn't be too high. Brisk walking or aerobics are more suitable; strength training might not be ideal, or you'll feel dizzy. Exercising in the morning can also boost your metabolism throughout the day, so adjust your schedule, wake up 30 minutes earlier, and exercise a bit. If you're short on time, exercise for 20-25 minutes in the morning and another 20-25 minutes after get off work. You can even do some light exercise at home while watching the news—it's a win-win situation.
