Losing weight at home - it seems that this is just a dream. Comfort, comfort, no one bothers you and . . . nobody takes you anywhere. This is exactly where the problem lies.
Fortunately, using human psychology, its subconscious effect allows us to lose weight (as well as do other things) much more easily.
As a rule, life itself throws me ideas of such "influence". It was the same this time.
Easy idea to lose weight at home
During the next monthly meeting with the pediatrician, it turned out that the boy had not gained weight well (in the first year of life, this is controlled quite tightly). They wrote me a big list of what, when and how much to eat. When I saw this manual, I was horrified. First thought: "I'll never remember this! " I had to hang the letter on the fridge so I could always refer to it.
A week later, the list was sent to the trash as unnecessary - it was already clearly filed in my memory, although I did not set such a goal.
Around the same time, I noticed that I began to pay less attention to physical activity, especially since the excuse was "iron" - I had no assistant in the summer season.
Add movement!
I just hung a list on the refrigerator, in which a certain muscle area was indicated against 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). Plus, I did the usual and familiar exercises for me: brushing my teeth and washing dishes, half-sitting or standing on one leg, jumping, ironing clothes and doing short mini-exercises during breaks at work.
The result was not long in coming - the body was "tightened" in just 3 weeks. At the same time, a reminder about the need to exercise constantly caught my attention - after all, it's a sin to hide, we often go to the kitchen.
Adjust your diet!
The same manipulation can be done with food.
Follow the principle: on such a day I have to eat certain foods, and the rest is at my discretion - so you will not feel completely limited in everything.
For example:
- boiled egg;
- salad with carrots and fresh cabbage;
- Apple;
- pear;
- boiled fish;
- cottage cheese;
- buckwheat.
Use the rule: one meal - only one dish. Breaks between meals are 2-4 hours.
I am often asked: what is better, 2 hours or 4? It's simple - after a snack, if it's really light, it's hard to last more than 2-2, 5 hours. And if you have eaten more, then 4 hours is better.
And one more thing: it is highly desirable not to eat 3-4 hours before bedtime, but to eat as little carbohydrate food as possible for dinner.
Important conditions for successful weight loss
The fact that you need to drink enough water and sleep - this should be obvious to my long-time readers, like the Lord's day.
In short: you should drink 30 milliliters for every kilogram of weight (for example, if you weigh 100 kilograms, the rate of water is 3 liters), and sleep at least 7 hours a night and go to bed no later than 11. in the afternoon.
And also let me remind you: 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 a little) - 2-3 times. Conclusions and appropriate actions are in your hand.
And one more important condition for successful weight loss at home: you don't need everything at once. This means that you first fix one area, develop good habits in it, and only then take on another.
You have four areas: food, movement, water, sleep. Start with what seems easiest to you.
Regarding water and sleep, for proper motivation, you can also use reminders attached to the wall of the refrigerator. 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 ofsight.
And most importantly, believe in yourself! Let them tell you that it is difficult to lose weight at home - after all, there are obvious temptations around. And you can! Losing weight at home is available only to those who are sure of victory over excess weight - without this confidence, nowhere. With all my heart I wish you beauty, harmony and health!
