The issue here is not so much the complexity of the task, but the lack of sufficient knowledge about how to solve it.

Avoiding snacks

Better yet, strictly control what you snack on.

Often, the inability to lose weight is hidden in snacks, because 3-4 cookies or a sandwich with sweet tea during the day is not noticeable, but the total caloric content for the day increases significantly. If it is impossible to completely give up snacks, it is better to do this with fruits or vegetables.

Drink more water (2-3 l)

The expression “if you want to eat, drink water” is not at all meaningless.

In addition to the beneficial effect of water on the body, it can suppress the feeling of hunger. This property of water is worth using when you want to have a snack.

Don't eat before bed

Going to bed with a full stomach is harmful not only for the digestive system, but also for the figure. Since there is no physical activity during sleep, the energy not spent on maintaining life processes will be stored as fat.

The optimal time interval between eating and sleeping is 2 hours.

"Good Table Habits"

  1. Use small plates. This is a psychological trick that allows you to "trick" the brain, because a full plate is perceived as "a lot". At the same time, of course, never take seconds!
  2. Eat slowly. The feeling of satiety comes only some time after a person has started eating. Therefore, by consuming food quickly, the chances of overeating increase significantly.
  3. Stop eating when you feel full, even if you haven't eaten everything yet.

Physical activity

Part of the energy received from the food eaten goes to maintaining the body's vital processes, and part goes to its physical activity. Everything that remains is deposited as fat.

If the first component cannot be influenced in any way, then everyone can manage their physical activity. You need to try to increase it as much as possible, starting from simple walking and ending with various sports.

The best part is that such rules easily become habits, because they do not require anything super complicated or unpleasant, weight loss is not accompanied by titanic efforts, there is no risk of failure, and the achieved result lasts for a long time.
