Summer is the most painful season for those who are "slightly overweight." Perhaps you've already controlled your diet and burned a lot of calories through exercise, losing most of your fat. But with only ten pounds left to lose, no clothes look good. Is there any way to get rid of that last bit of extra weight? American magazine *Prevention* offers some simple and effective methods; let's take a look.
1. Maintain aerobic exercise 4 to 5 times per week.
Aerobic exercise burns calories, and consistency is essential to maintain weight loss results. In addition, it's important to stick to interval training three times a week. Canadian researchers found that when women perform high-intensity, gentle cycling exercises, they burn 66% more fat than when they only do aerobic exercise.
2. Move around as much as possible and avoid sitting.
Your body often plays tricks on you: the more you exercise, the more you want to sit down and rest. Don't fall for this trick! Staying active and minimizing sitting time can help you burn more fat. Standing for an extra hour each day can burn an extra 100 calories compared to sitting all the time.
3. Carry a pedometer with you
Studies have shown that wearing a pedometer during exercise can help boost enthusiasm and encourage setting higher goals. To maximize weight loss results, consider setting goals and recording your exercise progress each time.
IV. Artificial Weightlifting Training
To lose weight more efficiently, you can also achieve your goals through strength training. Combining aerobic exercise with strength training can increase weight loss results by 30%.
5. Eat less meat
Eating less meat has been proven to effectively shorten the weight loss period. Studies have shown that vegetarians, on average, weigh 20% less than others.
6. Eat an apple before meals
An apple a day can help control weight. Eating low-calorie foods before meals makes you feel fuller during your main meals, reducing your intake of high-calorie foods.
VII. Be extra vigilant on weekends.
Even a dieter struggles to resist weekend temptations, often consuming an extra 420 calories. Be a weekend diet warrior and resist the allure of delicious food. Consider using smaller plates to serve your food and eat less.
8. Keep a food diary
People who diligently keep a daily food diary lose twice as much weight as those who don't. When you first start keeping a diary, remember to be honest, accurate, complete, and consistent.
