If a person wants to lose weight, he can apply a strictly scientific technique and carefully calculate the calories consumed. But for those who want to do this easily and without much effort, there are methods that do not require knowledge of mathematical formulas and time-consuming.
It is enough to adhere to several basic rules that are inherent in the well-known folk wisdom. True, we slightly changed and supplemented them in accordance with modern trends in dietetics.
Calorie Counting
Is calorie counting so important? Indeed, how to lose weight a man, if he is constantly busy with some chores at work? Experience suggests that if you start to treat this action very carefully and scrupulously, then sooner or later a person becomes obsessed.
Mathematical formulas begin to occupy a significant place in his life, and in his bag he constantly keeps reference books on the composition of products, a calculator and small scales. Sooner or later, such an attitude can make him a hostage to calorie-based diets, so you need to try to avoid this dependence and keep your mind.
In order to lose weight, it is enough to know the general principles, and eliminate or significantly reduce the number of certain foods used. For example, it is desirable to forget about the existence of all fried, smoked and incorporating visible fat, and from bakery products to eat only whole-grain bread.
Even better, use the visualization method to reduce calorie intake . For example, if you really want something, divide a serving into two, and eat only one half. This will allow you to remove reference books and scales from your purse or purse. In addition, you will stop tormenting the calculator in the hope of losing weight when others enjoy delicious food and a pleasant conversation.
Diet Formulas and Folk Wisdom
Since folk wisdom has been tested for centuries and suggests that you need to eat breakfast yourself, you should share lunch with a friend, and give dinner to the enemy, consider it in more detail.
Indeed, breakfast plays a leading role in daily nutrition. Because on its quality, a person’s working capacity in the day largely depends. In addition, our world is volatile. And we cannot know in advance whether we can manage to have a good dinner or, following the desire to lose weight, to throw at least a small portion of food in the evening in the stomach.
However, you can not get enough for one morning meal immediately for the whole day. Therefore, we will not be greedy, and share with your friend even breakfast. In addition, we will do this also before dinner. The second breakfast will allow us to better follow the recommendations on the frequency of nutrition, will saturate us, and the gastrointestinal tract will not be torn in attempts to digest the avalanche of products taken at a single and satisfying breakfast.
Lunch has an important place in the overall diet. On the one hand, it is intended to saturate a person until the evening, and on the other, it should not burden him too much. Therefore, folk wisdom is right - dinner should be shared with a friend, or just eat only half of the usual amount of food.
An afternoon snack is a useful exercise. Like lunch, it helps to distribute your diet evenly throughout the day, and is still not a "forbidden evening fruit." A light afternoon snack can make up for what was given to a friend during lunch. And at the same time prepare the body for evening starvation.
To starvation? This is not entirely true. Popular wisdom is only partly right. Because the enemy is also not worth pampering too much, giving him all his dinner in the hope of losing weight. Therefore, we take our usual portion of food and divide it into exactly four parts. Any of these parts is yours.
At the same time, remember that it is already evening and there is no need to rush to work. Enjoy your food slowly. The longer you do this, the better your portion will fill you. And at the same time, there will be no need to sneak from everyone to bed before the bed to the refrigerator for the operation, code-named "last sausage loaf for the night."
