Changes In The Habit Of Losing Weight

Since the calories ingested are no longer broken down at night, it is advisable to have a light dinner as early as possible to complete digestion before going to bed.

Adequate weight depends more on habits than on repeated weight-loss diets. In addition, habit changes are far healthier and more balanced. You will feel better without having to make great sacrifices. 

In this post you will find various tips that are easy to do and help you lose weight.

Don’t eat until you are completely full

Raise your stomach, it will adjust to the amounts usually consumed. Even small changes in habit can work wonders.

Do not try to eat for the sake of eating and never eat completely enough. Always stop when you are still a little hungry. If this bothers you, you can have digestive tea after you eat.

Chew everything well

Know that eating quickly makes you fat, not nourishing. Digestion begins in the mouth with saliva, which contains digestive enzymes. The better you chew the food, the better it will be digested and the less you will need. The feeling of hunger lasts between 15 and 20 minutes from the start of the meal. So if you eat slowly, you will not be hungry after this time and consequently you will not need to eat any more.

More protein

In this article, you will learn why it is better to eat more protein-rich foods than too many carbohydrates (bread, desserts, pasta, etc.). Both vegetable and animal proteins help you lose weight, especially on the hips, and strengthen the muscles.

Change your habits and cook more healthily

Interest in cooking is very positive in order to discover new, healthy recipes, with ingredients that help with weight loss and are usually rarely used. Changes in cooking habits and here are some examples:

• Plant-based milk such as oat or rice milk.
• Algae (delicious and very light dishes can be prepared with agar-agar)
• Spices (ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, curry, cayenne pepper, etc.)
• Whole grain cereals that are less well known: millet, buckwheat, quinoa, etc.
• Fruit shakes

Pre-cooking

Some people gain weight because they are really hungry but have nothing cooked. Then they just eat the first thing they can find and these are often fattening foods. That is why we always recommend cooking a little more and having  light, healthy foods such as natural juices, compotes, vegetable cream soups, salads, etc. ready in the refrigerator. 

Combine properly

The combination of many different foods, for example at banquets and celebrations, also leads to obesity and has a negative impact on health. While there are always exceptions, try to combine plant-based foods, carbohydrates, and proteins correctly with every meal . 

Avoid refined foods

Always choose whole grains. They can educate your taste buds, after a while you will enjoy whole grain products and not want anything else. Because these are rich in fiber and have a filling effect. They also contain important vitamins and minerals. 

Teas and infusions

Get used to drinking teas and infusions made from medicinal herbs that  fill the stomach in between and contain health-promoting ingredients at the same time. You can drink it cold or hot and, if you like, refine it with lemon and sweeten it with stevia. We recommend, for example, tea with citrus peel, avocado seeds and teas that strengthen the liver and stimulate digestion.

Light dinner

Our rhythm of life determines the energy consumption. Anything eaten late in the evening can usually no longer be consumed, so we recommend an early, light dinner, if possible before 8:00 p.m.

You should also note that, as traditional Chinese medicine teaches, the liver and gallbladder work early in the morning,  so digestion should be completed by this time so that these organs can regenerate properly

Drink plenty of water

Water cleanses the organism and fills the stomach when cravings come over you but you are actually not hungry.  Therefore, we suggest that you should drink water in between. If you’re still hungry afterward, you can have a healthy snack.
