Are you often frustrated that your best friend can eat a huge slice of cheesecake and still stay slim, while for you, even a small bite is enough to "kill" you? Check out these 13 fat-burning weight loss methods!
1. Calories—A Double-Edged Sword
Experts believe that, assuming a normal level of exercise, simply multiplying your weight by 11 will give you the recommended daily calorie intake, which could easily lead to a weight loss of about 0.5 kg per day. Furthermore, research shows that women who consume less calories than this recommended intake experience a 45% decrease in their metabolic rate.
2. Breakfast is very important.
Believe it or not, breakfast is the most important meal of the day if you want to boost your metabolism and lose weight. According to research, people who eat breakfast are more likely to lose weight than those who skip it. This is because your metabolism slows down while you sleep and only picks up again when you eat. Therefore, if you skip breakfast, your body's ability to burn calories won't reach normal levels until lunchtime. This is why it's best to start your day with a breakfast of 300-400 calories, which immediately gets your metabolism "working." Additionally, breakfast should ideally include plenty of high-fiber foods. People who habitually eat high-calorie breakfasts tend to feel hungry more quickly; while high-fiber carbohydrates take longer to digest and absorb, preventing rapid changes in blood sugar levels and making you feel less hungry.
3. Accumulate protein
Studies show that accumulating a significant amount of protein can help boost metabolism, leading to the burning of an extra 150-200 calories per day. Because protein is primarily composed of amino acids, it is less easily absorbed by the body than fat and fiber. Therefore, your body must expend more calories to digest it. Of course, this doesn't mean your diet should be as high in protein as a soldier's. However, you must understand that 10-35% of your daily calorie intake should come from protein. It's best to try to include protein-rich foods like nuts, tuna, and low-fat cheese in every meal or snack.
