In four months, my weight dropped from 134 pounds to 98 pounds, a successful loss of 36 pounds. I have transformed into a better self. It’s not that I have any shortcuts to weight loss. Instead, I follow the underlying logic of weight loss – creating a calorie deficit and promoting fat decomposition.
To lose weight, I start from multiple details in life, gradually correct some bad habits that lead to weight gain, develop some good habits for burning fat, and try my best to improve the body’s metabolic level and reduce calorie intake, so that my body can slowly lose weight.
Here are 11 weight loss experiences summarized by the editor. If you can also do these, I believe you can also lose a lot of weight quickly.
1. Be sure to quit all kinds of beverages such as milk tea, shaved ice juice, etc., to avoid excessive sugar intake. A cup of caramel milk tea has a calorie content of no less than 400 calories, making you gain weight without realizing it.
2. Be sure to drink plenty of water. Don’t wait until you are thirsty. You should know that water has no calories and will not make you gain weight. Drinking 2000ml of warm boiled water every day can accelerate the body’s metabolism and at the same time slow down the appearance of hunger, so that you can unconsciously control your food intake and increase the weight loss speed.
3. Be sure to have breakfast. Breakfast is the most important link to start the body’s metabolism. Don’t skip breakfast. Otherwise, the metabolic level in the morning will be relatively low, and you are also prone to overeating at lunch. This will not increase the weight loss speed but will instead induce gastrointestinal diseases. For breakfast, you can eat two boiled eggs, two slices of whole wheat bread, and a cup of sugar-free soy milk, which can make you full of energy and consume more calories.
4. Eat at least one meal of whole grains every day (just one fistful). Whole grains are low-GI carbohydrates with a long digestion time. Rich in dietary fiber, they can promote defecation. For dinner, you can replace rice, steamed buns, and noodles with whole wheat bread, sweet potatoes, potatoes, or oats to control blood sugar and help with weight loss.
5. Change the eating order. Drink a glass of water or a bowl of clear soup before eating. When eating, eat vegetables first, which can reduce the intake of high-calorie foods. Eat staple foods last, which can reduce the intake of staple foods and control blood sugar, so that you can lose weight unconsciously.
6. Reduce the number of dinners. When having a dinner, remember: talk more, drink more water, and eat less food; order more steamed and boiled foods, eat more green vegetables and less meat.
7. Drink a cup of black coffee before exercise. Black coffee can promote diuresis and improve edema. Drinking a cup before exercise can increase heart rate and make the body enter the fat-burning state faster, which is helpful for increasing the weight loss speed.
8. Eat more foods that are helpful for losing weight, such as celery, winter melon, dragon fruit, enoki mushroom, prune, etc. These foods can promote the excretion of waste, help you solve constipation problems, and make your body operate more efficiently.
9. Do a set of squat or jumping jack training after getting up to activate the body’s muscle groups and improve the metabolic level. This can directly consume the body’s reserve fat and keep you in a fat-burning state in the morning.
10. Take a walk after a meal. Walking for 15 minutes is helpful for intestinal peristalsis and calorie consumption and can prevent the problem of a small belly caused by sitting for a long time.
11. Soaking your feet before going to bed can promote blood circulation, make the body sweat, improve the problem of dampness, and also improve sleep quality. Deep sleep is helpful for fat decomposition and increases the fat-burning speed.
