How to lose weight quickly? There are countless weight loss methods available now, and we've tried them one after another, but only we know the results. So how do you choose a fast weight loss method from among so many options? Below, we'll give you some tips to help you lose weight quickly.
1. Try to drink plain water or calorie-free beverages.
When you're both thirsty and hungry, if there's a glass of ice water and a plate of food in front of you, you'll probably choose to drink the water first, rather than eat the food. Drinking water will make you feel full.
Cynthia Sass, a spokesperson for the American Food and Nutrition Association, suggests that "if you don't like plain water, you can add some citrus fruits for flavoring or a little juice, or make your own healthy fruit tea with fruits like mango or peach. This will make your drink taste better without adding too many calories."
Losing weight is always fraught with difficulties. Lazy girls can't stick to exercise, and gluttonous girls can't resist the temptation of delicious food. What to do? WebMD is an influential American website that provides health information. The website invited seven health experts from across the United States to provide 15 diet tips for weight loss, allowing you to easily shed those annoying fats.
2. Increase the proportion of fruits and vegetables in your diet.
"In the first few days of your weight loss plan, increase the proportion of vegetables and fruits in your diet, ideally making them your main food source. Vegetables and fruits will take up a lot of space in your stomach, leaving no extra room for high-calorie foods." This is the advice of American nutritionist Laura Pansilo.
Vegetables and fruits, which are extremely low in calories, replace most of the fat in your diet and also provide you with the fiber you need. More than 200 studies have shown that phytochemicals in produce such as vegetables and fruits can effectively prevent cardiovascular disease and cancer.
3. Before you eat, think about whether you are really hungry.
Michelle May, author of "Am I Really Hungry?", suggests, "If you want to eat, first try to feel if your stomach is really hungry."
Hunger is a signal your body sends you when it needs to replenish energy. When you are hungry, the feeling of fullness after eating will be very obvious, and at this time you will stop eating.
If you eat when you're not hungry, you'll never feel full and will keep eating. By the time you feel your stomach is full, you've already unknowingly consumed too many calories.
Everyone's stomach is only about the size of a fist, and a small amount of food can fill it up. Keep each meal to a limited amount so that you can truly feel hunger and fullness.
4. Be careful when eating snacks after meals.
After dinner, we often watch TV while stuffing our mouths with snacks like potato chips and cookies. Your attention is drawn to the TV program, and eating becomes an unconscious behavior.
A recent survey has shown that the more entertaining television programs become, the more snacks people consume, and this unconscious behavior is often the culprit behind obesity.
Marlena Petomo, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Food and Nutrition, suggests that after-meal snacks are acceptable, but calorie limits should be observed. For example, a 100-calorie pack of cookies or half a cup of low-fat ice cream is fine. The ideal way to lose weight is to drink a cup of calorie-free tea after meals, but you need to gradually transition from low-calorie foods.
5. Enjoy your favorite food.
One of the pains of dieting is constantly having to resist the temptation of your favorite foods. If your willpower isn't strong enough, it's easy to give in when faced with delicious food, which often leads to overeating and ruining your diet plan.
Cynthia Sass, a spokesperson for the American Food and Nutrition Association, believes that losing weight does not mean saying goodbye to your favorite foods. In fact, you can eat as much as you want, as long as you follow the principle of moderation. This is actually very easy to do. You just need to buy less of your favorite desserts or candies (for example, if you used to buy a box or a bag, now you can just buy them individually).
