Weight loss essentially involves starting from controlling diet and insisting on exercise. For insisting on exercise, it is most important to choose a form of exercise that you like and can persist in. Regarding diet control, there are numerous issues we need to pay attention to. Besides knowing what to eat, the cooking methods, and eating habits, controlling diet from these three aspects can achieve a reduction in calories from the source and thus create a “calorie deficit”. During weight loss, 5 dietary principles to make you lose weight faster!
Principle 1: Predominantly light diet. Most foods themselves are not high in calories. Therefore, during weight loss, stay away from foods that are inherently high in calories, such as fatty pork, streaky pork, etc. Eat less or avoid such foods. For weight loss, choose mainly high-protein foods, such as eggs, beef, lean meat, beans, and seafood, etc., which can help enhance the body’s metabolic capacity.
Principle 2: Cooking methods mainly include steaming and boiling. To accelerate the speed of weight loss, the choice of cooking methods is very important. Many foods are originally low in calories, but after being stir-fried at high temperatures, the calories multiply several times, which is a major cause of weight gain. For example, it is clear which has higher calories, stir-fried vegetables or boiled vegetables. Therefore, during weight loss, the chosen cooking methods should mainly be boiling and steaming, and occasionally, stir-frying can be selected.
Principle 3: Drink a glass of water before a meal, which helps enhance the body’s sense of fullness, reduces appetite, and avoids overeating. Many people feel hungry when it’s meal time, and when eating, they tend to eat quickly and overeat. Consuming excessive calories will only make the body fatter and fatter. Therefore, drinking a glass of warm water before a meal helps control appetite, promotes intestinal peristalsis, and improves the body’s digestion and absorption capabilities.
Principle 4: The order of eating should be to eat vegetables first, then meat and staple foods. It must not be to eat staple foods and meat first, otherwise, the stomach and intestines will have difficulty in digestion and absorption. The dietary fiber in vegetables helps intestinal peristalsis and improves the body’s digestion and absorption capabilities. Moreover, after eating vegetables first, the sense of fullness increases, and then eating an appropriate amount of meat and staple foods can also reduce calorie intake.
Principle 5: Consciously control the sense of fullness. This requires weight losers to learn to control the speed of eating during meals. Do not gobble up food. Eating too quickly during meals can easily lead to overeating. Consciously controlling the speed of eating can control the sense of fullness and avoid overeating. During weight loss, even when eating vegetables, do not overeat. Frequent overeating will cause pressure on the stomach and intestines, affecting digestion and absorption. Moreover, if your appetite expands and the portion size increases, it will be even more difficult to lose weight. When you control the sense of fullness, it will be much easier to lose weight and the speed of weight loss will be faster.
