The best way to lose weight without running the risk of getting fat again is to do a dietary re-education to be able to eat everything, but in the right measure, without having to resort to medicines to lose weight or surgery, achieving definitive results.
Food re-education is undoubtedly the best recipe for healthy and lifelong weight loss, and consists of eating healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats instead of cakes, cookies, soda, sandwiches and "heavy", such as feijoada, frituras and lasagne, for example.
To know exactly how many pounds you need to lose weight to reach your ideal weight enter your following data:
The step by step of food re-education consists of:
1. Drink 2 liters of water per day
Hydration with water is very important because the water has no calories and cleanses the toxins from the body, facilitating detoxification. The ideal is to drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water, but if you have difficulty in drinking all this water, try putting a small piece of ginger or squeezing half a lemon in a bottle of ice water and drink several sips during the day.
Another possibility to ingest more fluids is to drink sugar-free tea, but never take processed juice, soda, or natural juices with sugar because they provide extra energy but dehydrate.
2. Eat every 3 hours
Eating every 3 hours is ideal because so your blood glucose level is more stable and you feel less hungry and can focus better on school or work. To be able to eat every 3 hours you should consume a smaller amount of food in each meal, which should be composed of breakfast, lunch in the morning, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and supper. If you think you can not make the snacks, try eating less at breakfast and lunch, and if you have trouble eating breakfast, try eating less at dinner and supper.
3. Re-educate the palate
To better choose the foods you should reeducate the taste buds. The salads, soups and cooked vegetables will happen to have more flavor when you stop eating industrialized foods that are full of flavoring and intensifying flavor.
If you do not like some food and you know it is important because it is full of vitamins and because it has fewer calories than a hamburger, for example, try it several times. Cooking the vegetables with a bay leaf and adding a clove of garlic crushed in the soups can give a more pleasant flavor, facilitating the adaptation.
Try new recipes and always opt for the integrals, because they reduce hunger beyond regulating the gut, and stop eating in fast food and fried foods. Eat at least 2 fruits a day, they are great as dessert.
For these changes to be implemented on a day-to-day basis, there should be 1 change per week until it becomes a habit that will be adopted forever. See more tips on How to eat well without gaining weight and without starving yourself.
