1. Cream cheese, not butter!
Cream cheese is delicious and low in calories, so instead of spreading the bread with butter, make it with cream cheese. You must admit it is just as delicious!
2. Start the day healthy and slim
Don't leave for tomorrow what you can do today! To respect this saying, some diet plans suggest starting in the morning. If you start the day with a large and healthy breakfast or a walk to work, your metabolism kicks in, and it is easier to maintain good habits for longer.
3. Don't let the little sins turn into big sins
Food is like lies: a little white lie from time to time, maybe even necessary, but don't become a habit and don't get big! With that being said, yes, a handful of gummy bears, a few fries, or a piece of chocolate is not the end of the world, but don't eat the whole package, because when things get serious!
4. An effective workout
The more strenuous the training, the greater the success. This does not necessarily imply a long workout, and it may be short intervals of high-intensity exercise. Those are especially effective!
5. Don't do too much at once
You don't want to do everything in one fell swoop - it's better to lose weight slowly and adopt better habits gradually than to make drastic changes overnight. Remember, it progresses slowly but surely!
6. Eat mindfully
Eat mindfully and enjoy meals. If you eat less automatically and savor each bite, you digest your food better and eat less than if you sit in front of the television to eat without reflecting on everything entering your mouth.
7. Fruit as an aperitif
Choose to eat fruits as a snack; they have fewer calories than other snacks like chocolate and beer. They are the healthiest alternative!
8. Include protein in your diet
Protein keeps you full for a long time and promotes muscle development, so it is advisable to eat protein-rich foods, such as fish or legumes, frequently.
9. Drink water, not soda
It is not enough to drink 2 liters of water a day; you should also abandon soft and excessively sugary drinks. Goodbye, dear Coca-Cola! Change these glasses for water and tea, which have no calories, so they will not make you fat.
10. Without alcohol
Beware of alcohol! Beer, cocktails, and wine are high in calories and make it hard to burn fat.
11. Much better sleep
A night of healthy and consistent sleep helps maintain a more stable weight, so if you wake up a lot at night or sleep only a few hours, try taking an infusion before going to sleep for a night of deep and restful sleep.
12. Baked Vegetables
Baked vegetables are less greasy, and they are also relatively easy to make. Cut them up and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment at 200 ° C for about 30 minutes.
13. Roasted walnuts
You can lower the calorie content of walnuts by toasting them in a nonstick skillet first. Plus, this also enhances its aroma!
14. Use scented candles
Strange advice, right? The reason it is relevant is that many people, when irritated or stressed, turn to food. Although this is quite common, scented candles are much more effective in alleviating negative moods. For example, lavender, roses, and honey are said to have calming effects. On the other hand, green tea helps with concentration problems and stress, while orange and rosemary act against fatigue and reinvigorate.
15. Eat healthy snacks
In the middle of the afternoon, low-calorie snacks such as crusty bread with cottage cheese or honey or plain yogurt with pieces of fruit are the most suitable option for a snack.
16. Avoid stress
Stress promotes the accumulation of fats, among many other things, so now you know: it is better to be relaxed and calm than annoying!
17. No bans that limit the quality of life!
If it is tough for you to stop eating a particular food, then do not cut it completely; eat it in smaller quantities, it will be easier!
18. Eat whole grains and less white flour
Whole grains are healthier than refined flour, and they also make you feel full for longer, so if you have to choose between the two, you already know the correct answer!
19. Do not eat before bed
Fats are not burned while you sleep. They tend to accumulate, so it is best to avoid eating before going to sleep (ideally, eat about 3 or 4 hours before bedtime to burn even apart).
20. Don't go overboard with the toppings
We recommend discretion when dressing your salads: refrain from very greasy sauces and pay attention to the amount of oil you use; it is useless to sacrifice a hamburger and eat a salad if you are going to accompany it with a thousand kilos of mayonnaise.
21. Eat small portions
We often overeat without realizing it, especially since the message of satiety takes some time to get from our stomach to our brain. If you're still hungry after a serving, it's best to wait a moment and then have another small serving.
22. Talk more, eat less
Instead of eating more to feel better, call your best friend and unburden yourself together!
23. Pay attention to the labels
Keep your eyes open while shopping! Look closely at the nutrition facts because that's where some pitfalls lurk: low fat doesn't always mean low calorie!
24. Eat in peace
If you want to lose weight, you must consciously take the time to eat each meal in peace instead of swallowing in a hurry and choking on everything you find in your way.
25. A glass of water before eating
You were drinking a glass of water before eating fills the stomach and makes you not overdo it with food.
26. Union make a force
Losing weight with someone is more accessible than doing it alone, so call a friend and motivate and support each other in times when things are not going very well, or the temptation to take a bite of that chocolate you have stored in the cupboard is powerful, courage that together we can!
27. Reward yourself
Goals, big or small, must be rewarded once they are achieved. Buy yourself new clothes, go to the theater or watch a movie when you reach the goals that will motivate you to persevere!
28. Eat slowly
Do not try to eat too fast because the feeling of fullness begins 20 minutes after taking the first bite, so if you rush, you will end up consuming much more than your body needs; better enjoy slowly!
29. Do exercise
Yes, you probably don't like it, but you should exercise at least three times a week if you want to lose weight. If you don't like it (as I do), try something that you do like and that involves physical activity: a bike ride, swimming on the beach, dancing - all of that is better than nothing!
30. Eat more vegetables
Vegetables are healthy and have very few calories, so you can eat as many as you want without having to think that you are overdoing it.
31. A hearty breakfast
Take the time to make a good breakfast, as this will prevent you from having pre-meal cravings and keep you feeling fuller for longer.
32. Do not weigh yourself daily
Do not obsess over the scale; it is better to choose only one day of the week to weigh yourself since you will have more realistic results and feel more motivated to continue with the excellent work.
33. A daily diet
Establish an eating plan for each day to understand better are consuming and in what quantities.
34. Cook the vegetables in a wok
Frequently cooking meat, fish, and vegetables in a wok save fat and nutrients (and is also very easy and tasty!)
35. Use fresh ingredients
Try to cook as fresh as possible, as ready meals are often calorie traps and are not health, long-term, or short-term.
36. Integrate exercise into your routine
Get as much exercise as you can in your daily life: take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk or use your bike to get to places instead of driving, take your dog for a walk in the park, etc.
37. Sorbets, not ice cream
Do you fancy ice cream on these hot days? Opt for a sorbet, and it has fewer calories than regular ice cream!
38. Measure your waist regularly
Measure your waist regularly, your core, your thighs, and your hips. You will soon see results that will motivate you to the maximum!
39. Eat low-fat meat
Eat low-fat meats like turkey or chicken instead of pork or beef.
40. Hot drinks
On the one hand, hot water stimulates metabolism. On the other hand, the body develops a feeling of fullness greater than after consuming cold drinks.
41. Remove the skin from the chicken
If you don't eat the skin of fried or grilled chicken, you can save up to 200 calories for every 100 grams of meat, and it makes you think!
42. Diluted juices
Juices contain many calories due to fructose, but you can save some by diluting the juice with water in a 1: 3 ratio.
43. Onions are your friends
Onions contain a substance called allicin, which is also found in garlic and stimulates digestion and fat burning.
44. Say yes to pickles
Sauerkraut, pickled cucumbers, and other fermentation-preserved vegetables cleanse the body from the inside and remove harmful residues.
45. Integrate coconut oil into your diet
The healthy oil in coconut meat has a stimulating effect on metabolism, which means that your body will be more active and burn fat faster.
46. Quinoa instead of meat
Quinoa contains a lot of plant proteins, so it's a perfect substitute for meat (and it's healthier!).
47. The parsley will surprise you
The vitamin C in parsley stimulates weight loss, and freshly chopped parsley adds a fresh flavor that goes wonderfully to many dishes; yum yum!
48. Dark chocolate
Go for dark chocolate over milk chocolate. Chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is more bitter than real milk chocolate, decreasing appetite. However, the ideal percentage of cocoa is 85%; Which makes the chocolate quite painful, so we recommend eating it with fruits to balance the flavor.
49. Vegetable juice
A glass of vegetable juice before your meal helps you eat smaller portions and therefore lose weight faster.
50. Avoid overeating oil
While cooking, special care should be taken to ensure no excess amount of oil in the food.
