2. Ways to lose weight in spring
1. Eat on time
It's good for losing weight not to eat until you can't stand it anymore. In fact, this is all wet. This practice not only hurts the body, but also rebounds! When a person is really hungry, when she sees food, she will start to gorge herself until she can't eat any more. Not to mention how much she eats, the speed of eating alone will put a certain burden on her stomach.
And overeating is not conducive to the body's metabolism, which will lead to the accumulation of fat in the body. This practice will eventually lead to overeating and weight gain, so the first step to control appetite is to eat when you are hungry, and don't delay eating time.
Swallow slowly
Chew slowly when eating, chew slowly, and try to prolong the time of eating. According to research, the more times you chew the same food, the less calories you will have. Because the calories of food will be consumed with the help of saliva. When we chew slowly, the human body will send out a signal of fullness, telling us not to eat any more, thus suppressing appetite and achieving the goal of losing weight. Therefore, try to chew slowly when eating, which will help to consume calories and accelerate the digestion of food.
Tap your ear.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, all parts of the human body are connected. There is a point on the human auricle that is connected with the appetite control center of the brain, that is, the hunger point, which is located above the earlobe. Repeatedly pressing this acupoint can reduce appetite. This is because when the stomach and intestines send hunger signals to the hypothalamus that controls appetite, people will have a desire to eat, and repeatedly pressing the corresponding acupoints can prevent the transmission of signals. So when we feel hungry, we can press the hunger point of the right ear 1 minute with our index finger, and then repeat the action with the left ear. But the pressure should be moderate!
Relax and eat.
Some mm like to overeat when they are unhappy, which is the so-called "turning grief into appetite", which is often an important cause of obesity. Stress usually affects a person's mood. If you are in a bad mood, you will eat blindly, and you will eat too much before you know it. Moreover, mm people like to eat French fries, soda, ice cream and so on. Vent their feelings. These foods are high-calorie foods, so this is an important reason for fat accumulation, so try to avoid eating under pressure for yourself. Therefore, eating in a good mood can not only make food delicious, but also effectively control appetite.
Eat fruit or sugar before meals.
Studies have found that eating fruit or sugar before meals can reduce appetite and avoid excessive calorie intake. This is because fruit contains more cellulose, which will swell when it enters the stomach, giving people a feeling of fullness, thus reducing appetite and preventing excessive calorie intake. Sugar will increase the body's satiety and reduce appetite. So, you might as well eat some fruit or candy before eating, which can reduce the weight of eating. But pay attention to the intake of sugar. If you eat too much, it will be counterproductive because of excessive calorie intake.
Step 6 eat snacks selectively
Most MMs love to eat, so it is undoubtedly a very painful thing to give up snacks. But most snacks are high-fat and high-calorie foods, which are harmful to weight loss. So we might as well replace snacks with low-calorie and high-fiber foods. In this case, it is not only beneficial to the body, but also can effectively increase satiety and reduce appetite. For example, broad beans in snacks are rich in nutrition, and their dietary fiber can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is a good diet snack. Moreover, the calorie is low, which makes people feel full, thus controlling their appetite.
7. How to eat high-calorie food to lose weight in spring?
Baked snacks in the coffee shop. Baked snacks in coffee shops are getting bigger and bigger. Cupcakes of this size each contain about 64 grams of carbohydrates and more than 30 grams of sugar. Eating a delicious muffin made of flour, sugar and butter for breakfast is similar to eating a cake. If you are used to eating these baked snacks for breakfast, be sure to control each serving to about 2 ounces, and be sure to choose whole wheat.
Butter cookies. A thin slice of butter biscuits looks unremarkable. As we all know, each butter biscuit contains about 18 grams of carbohydrates. This golden snack is attractive in color, but basically contains no nutrients. It is a mixture of flour, butter, edible chemicals, additives, artificial colors and corn syrup, which can be said to be harmful to health. If someone in the bakery tells you that his cheese biscuits are the latest improved organic nutritious biscuits, don't believe it. It may just be that the amount of the above-mentioned garbage raw materials is reduced compared with the traditional one.
A bagel. Unless you are going to do high-intensity physical activities, such as exercising in the gym all morning, it is best not to choose bagels for breakfast. Why do you say that? Because bagels are generally large, it is conceivable that they contain much more calories than ordinary noodles. A bagel contains about 250-300 calories and more than 50 grams of carbohydrates, so unless you can jog for 2-3 hours after eating, you can't consume so many calories.
Juice and smoothies. Fruit juice and smoothies are two very popular drinks. Many girls mistakenly think it is a healthy drink, but it is not. A cup of 500g fruit juice contains about 75g carbohydrates and 64g sugar (as does Smoothie). If you are used to drinking fruit juice every morning and it is difficult to change it for a while, you must control it at about 4 ounces, because 4 ounces of fruit juice contains about 15-20 grams of carbohydrates, which is still acceptable to the body.
Cinema popcorn. For most people, popcorn has become one of the necessary equipment to go to the cinema. Although the calories of a big bag of popcorn can be imagined, it should not be a big deal to watch a movie at most once a week and only eat it once a week. This idea is very wrong, because a big bag of popcorn contains 1200 calories, almost all of which come from carbohydrates (including sodium content as high as 580 mg). These are all without cream. If you want cream popcorn, it contains more calories. If you want to stay slim, you must control your daily calorie intake within a certain range. So, don't waste all the calories you can consume in a day on a piece of popcorn, which can neither fill your stomach nor have any nutrition.
