The best way to control weight
Everyone has a different basal metabolic rate. If the basal metabolic rate is low, the metabolic capacity is weak. If you don't control your diet, you will gradually gain weight. Therefore, attention should be paid to controlling diet and reducing calorie intake in order to fundamentally control weight. But the so-called diet control does not mean dieting, but should pay attention to the total calorie intake of food, adopt the scientific collocation of three meals a day, pay attention to the nutritional balance and protein intake, and choose low-calorie and low-calorie foods.
Chew slowly, and then you can taste the delicious food. Chewing slowly will make you faster and fuller, so you can eat less. When you don't chew slowly, you will find that you don't feel that you are eating faster and faster, which is not good for weight control.
