Losing weight at home - it would seem that this is just a dream. Comfort, coziness, nobody bothers you and. . . no one guides you anywhere. This is precisely where the problem lies.
Fortunately, the use of human psychology, the effect on his subconscious allows us to lose weight (as well as do other things) much easier.
As a rule, life itself throws ideas of such "impact" at me. So it was this time.
Easy idea to lose weight at home
During the next monthly appointment with the pediatrician, it turned out that the son had not gained weight well (in the first year of life, this is quite closely monitored). They wrote me a huge list of what, when and how much he should eat. When I read this manual, I was horrified. First thought: "I'll never remember! " I had to hang the paper in the refrigerator so I could always report to you.
A week later, the list was sent to the trash as unnecessary - it was already clearly deposited in my memory, although I had not set such a goal.
Around the same time, I noticed that I started paying less attention to physical activity, mainly because the excuse was "iron": I no longer had assistants in the summer season.
Add movement!
I just hung a list on the fridge, which indicated a certain muscle area in front of the days of the week:
- Monday - press
- Tuesday - buttocks
- Wednesday - legs
- Thursday - Press
- Friday - back, chest
- Saturday - hands
- Sunday - legs
And after that, I started doing exercises for the specified area every day (at least 5 exercises with a total duration of 10-15 minutes). In addition, I did the usual and familiar exercises for myself: I brushed my teeth and washed the dishes, half squatting or standing on one leg, I danced while ironing my clothes, and did short mini-exercises during work breaks.
The result was not long in coming: the body "stiffened" in just 3 weeks. At the same time, a reminder of the need to perform exercises constantly attracted my attention: after all, it's a pity to hide, we often go to the kitchen.
Change your diet!
The same manipulation can be done with food.
Follow the principle: on this day I need to eat certain foods and the rest is at my discretion, so you won't feel completely limited in everything.
For instance:
- boiled egg;
- fresh salad of carrots and cabbage;
- Apple;
- Pear;
- boiled fish;
- cottage cheese;
- buckwheat.
Use the rule: one meal - just one dish. The breaks between meals are 2-4 hours.
I am often asked: which is better, 2 hours or 4? It's simple: after a snack, if it's really light, it's hard to last longer than 2-2. 5 hours. And if you've eaten more, then 4 hours is better.
And one more thing: it is very desirable not to eat 3-4 hours before bedtime, but to eat as little carbohydrates as possible for dinner.
Important conditions for successful weight loss
The fact that you need to drink enough water and sleep - this should be clear to my longtime readers, like God's day.
In short: you need to drink 30 milliliters for every kilogram of weight (for example, if you weigh 100 kilograms, the water norm is 3 liters), sleep at least 7 hours a night and go to bed no later than 11 pm.
And let me remind you too: with lack of sleep, you can lose weight 2-5 times slower, with partial dehydration of the body (and it is inevitable if you drink little) - 2-3 times. The appropriate conclusions and actions are up to you.
And another important condition for successful weight loss at home: you don't need everything at once. This means that you first tidy up one area, develop good habits in it, and only then tackle another one.
You have four areas: food, movement, water, sleep. Start with what seems easiest to you.
As for water and sleep, for proper motivation, you can also use reminders attached to the refrigerator wall. For example, paper with the inscription: "I drink 2. 5 liters of water a day! " At the same time, such an inscription will remind you why you are doing this and every time a refrigerator enters your field of vision.
And most importantly, believe in yourself! Let them tell you it's hard to lose weight at home - after all, there are temptations around. And you can! Losing weight at home is only available to those who are confident in the victory over excess weight - without this belief, nowhere. With all my heart I wish you beauty, harmony and health!
