During holidays, there are always some high-calorie, high-fat foods. If you do this for a long time, your physical fitness will decline a lot, and the flesh on your body will gradually grow. In addition to these high-fat foods, there are all kinds of delicious candies, snacks and other delicacies in various gatherings, which will make many people unable to resist the temptation and let go of their stomachs to eat and drink. Eating more and moving less, the excess calories will naturally be converted into fat and accumulate in the body, so it is easy to cause a straight rise in weight. Not only can you not wear those beautiful clothes that you are proud of on weekdays, but you will also feel ugly when you see the "swollen" face in the mirror.
Below I will provide you with some precautions for holiday diet:
1. Sugar addiction is like smoking addiction, fiercer than a tiger
Studies have shown that sugar can make people addicted: sugar addiction has a dual effect. On the one hand, sugar affects hormones in the body, making it impossible for the brain to send a signal of fullness. The more you eat, the more you become addicted. You want to continue eating even when your stomach is full; on the other hand, the effect of sugar on hormones in the body is also manifested in that it will make the brain continuously send a signal to consume sugar, just like smoking addiction, people who eat sugar will love to eat sugar more and more. If you really want to eat sweets, you can eat some less sweet fruits, chestnuts, and sweet potatoes, which contain antioxidants and fiber, which can stabilize blood sugar, give you a lasting feeling of fullness, and divert your interest in sweets.
2. Eat small meals frequently to shrink your stomach
Did you know? Our stomach is "elastic". The empty stomach capacity is about the size of an average adult's fist (150ml). If you eat too much, it will be stretched to a maximum of 10 liters! The stomach capacity weight loss method requires us to leave 20% of the portion no matter what we eat, and also leave 20% when eating out. This is more wasteful. You can order one meal for two people. Remember to do food reduction training every day. Eat a little less than the day before every day, even if it's just one bite less. Over time, the stomach capacity will become smaller. Remember to eat less, eat less, eat less, eat less, eat less, eat less! Although you have to work hard to endure the feeling of hunger at the beginning, as long as the stomach capacity becomes smaller, you will naturally not feel hungry, and there will be no problem of overeating. Eat small meals frequently, 4-5 times a day, so you don't feel very hungry~
3. When ordering meals, the more protein the better
Eat meat
It has been proven that protein can increase satiety. The principle is: protein is more difficult to digest and inhibits the secretion of insulin. Protein foods can reduce people's hunger. People often don't feel hungry for a long time after eating high-protein foods for breakfast or lunch. Protein requires your body to burn more calories to digest it, so I recommend choosing protein foods before ordering, such as chicken, salmon, Greek yogurt or thinly sliced turkey breast.
4. Weight reminder, you deserve it
Inspirational classic
Everyone knows that when we sleep, our organs are resting, so the calories consumed are very low. If you eat a lot before going to bed, the calories that cannot be consumed will be converted into fat, and the meat will grow without your attention while you sleep. "In order to avoid unconscious eating and drinking before going to bed, you should rinse your mouth and brush your teeth immediately after dinner (brushing your teeth can also remove the debris lingering in your teeth, which is also helpful for weight loss). Keep the remaining meals properly and put away the snacks that can be seen everywhere. You can also put a conspicuous sign on the refrigerator with some words that have obvious reminders for you, such as "Come on! You are still 6 pounds away from the standard weight", "Eat one more bite at this time, and you will have endless troubles in the future", etc."
5. "The rest of your life after the holiday" still depends on exercise
During the holidays, relatives and friends gather together, eat and drink, and many people gain weight after the holidays. After the holiday, resume normal physical exercise, and if conditions permit, go to the gym for exercise. Whether it is losing weight, building muscle, shaping the body, or gaining weight, fitness is the way to go. Don't be superstitious about medicine, surgery, or secrets. Those rumors are harmful to others and yourself, and have been threatening the world for a long time. Let's just keep practicing! Persistence is victory!
