Eat the right food. Replace white bread, macaroni, fat and sugar with fruits and vegetables. If 1/2 to 2/3 of a meal is vegetables, your plate may be fuller than before.
Go shopping every Sunday. Go to department stores and buy all kinds of food. For the next two weeks, you can only eat whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean protein.
Drink low-fat milk. High-protein Greek yogurt, skim milk and even low-fat cheese can produce satiety and reduce the secretion of calcitriol which promotes fat accumulation. Drink at least 6 ounces (170g) of yogurt every day, choose sugar-free or low-sugar foods, and don't drink high-sugar products.
Replace flour and rice with whole grain food. But you can't just eat whole wheat bread, but also eat quinoa, oats, apples, bananas, flax and wild rice. These fiber foods help to promote the digestive process, stimulate the digestive system and reduce fat.
Change the type of fat. In the next few weeks, the body's fat will be converted into monounsaturated fat, that is, the fat in nuts, olives, olive oil, flaxseed and buttered fruits.
Eat foods rich in whole grains, protein and monounsaturated fats. For example, a cup of protein milkshake containing Greek yogurt, almond cream and oats, or a piece of whole wheat bread coated with peanut butter, can produce a lasting satiety and provide the protein needed by the human body.
Choose strenuous exercise. Not all forms of exercise can achieve the same fat burning effect, and the next two weeks need high-intensity exercise, such as running, swimming in circles, road cycling, boating or training camp from simple to moderate exercise.
