Many people are mistaken when they think that it is enough to make an effort to lose weight once, and then simply enjoy the results.
During a properly designed weight loss program, you will have to develop a series of habits that you will need to stick to for the rest of your life.
What do they consist of?
You can't go anywhere without a food diary
Every day you should write down everything you eat - the name of the dish, the list of ingredients, the weight, the approximate calorie content, the chemical composition.
This will help you eat more mindfully.
Plant protein
Even if you can't imagine your life without meat and animal products, you should pay more attention to plant proteins.
Beans, chickpeas, tofu, and quinoa are the best for this, experts say.
Take care of your health
Sometimes weight gain does occur due to health problems, experts remind. Most often, we are talking about hormonal imbalances.
So, get your health checked on a regular basis.
Water and tea
These two categories should become your favorite drinks. Tea can be any: the main task is to drink it without sugar and desserts.
1.5 hours of sports
Yes, this figure may seem too impressive, but it is not all that bad. For example, you can set aside an hour every day for an active walk, and also spend 15 minutes on morning exercises and evening yoga.
Set aside enough time for sleep
Some may think that these things are unrelated. However, getting enough sleep can improve your health, hormone levels, and help you cope with overeating.
Products to eliminate once and for all
First of all, forget about fast food - both store-bought and homemade. Try to eat less fried, salty, and floury foods. Limit bread and desserts.
Of sweets, you should leave only dark chocolate in reasonable quantities. We try to completely refuse any semi-finished products, especially meat ones.
We also exclude alcoholic drinks and fast carbohydrates.
Earlier we talked about why it is recommended to eat fish and chicken eggs when losing weight.
