4. Eat slowly.
This way,
hunger goes away faster, even when you eat less. In addition, digestion is much
better. If you tend to eat quickly, get in the habit of putting your utensil
down between bites and chewing longer.
5. Drink
plenty of water, avoid sugary drinks and reduce alcohol consumption.
Our body
needs good daily hydration (1.5 to 3 L of water per day). Get into the habit of
drinking a glass of water 15 minutes before your meals and snacks. Drinking
water on a regular basis promotes weight loss, as drinking it helps increase
the feeling of fullness in the stomach. Yes you don't like the taste of water
much, add a little lemon or mint. Avoid sugary and carbonated drinks, which
contain sugar and sometimes caffeine. Diet drinks still keep you craving sugar.
For
alcohol, do not exceed 1 drink / day for a woman and 1 to 2 for a man. One
drink: one glass of wine (150 ml), one can of beer (330 ml), one ounce (45 ml)
of spirits (strong).
6. Choose
foods rich in fiber.
Eat foods
rich in fiber at the start of a meal. Their bulky fibers will not be directly
assimilated by the body. Thus, satiety will manifest itself more quickly and
will take hold.
7. Watch
out for snacks and snacking between meals.
If you are
really hungry between meals, then choose foods that are low in fat. For
example, keep fruit, almonds, yogurt or fresh vegetables on hand in case you
have a snack. Avoid cookies, chips, cakes, very caloric and not very
nutritious.
8. Avoid
shopping for groceries when you are hungry.
This will
help you stick to the basics of your needs (try respect your list) and not
succumb to many temptations. Plan your meals for the week, and buy fresh
vegetables and fruit.
9. Exercise
regularly.
The
combination with physical activity is important. However, that doesn't mean to
reward your efforts by eating more afterwards! Also, a little regular exercise
(20-30 minutes of brisk walking) is more effective than a strenuous session
every 2 weeks. Activity burns calories, but helps relieve stress and regulates
appetite, in addition to promoting sleep.
SLOWLY
BUT SURELY
Losing
weight is no easy task!
One
of the biggest challenges around is weight loss. Our society has lost the sense
of portions. We are constantly urged to eat rich foods, and we are increasingly
sedentary.
Obesity
threatens the health of the American population. For the first time, the
current generation is at risk of dying younger than the previous one due to
obesity.
It
is possible to lose weight, but the changes to be made are major and must be
maintained over the long term, not just during a diet.
