Principles of weight loss.

Weight loss occurs in the following cases:

  1. In caloric deficit, when the body burns more energy than it consumes. At the same time, it is a mistake to believe that for this you need to consume 1000 kilocalories a day or even less. To lose weight using this method, it is enough to calculate daily calories according to the formula and reduce them by 200-300 kcal per day. A diet supplemented with exercise will be more effective.
  2. By eating foods with a low glycemic index. This is the rate at which food is digested. The lower it is, the longer this process takes, respectively, the more energy the body spends for its absorption. Therefore, in many effective nutrition systems, weight loss occurs through the use of "necessary" foods, even in unlimited quantities.
  3. Drinking enough water. Often, a few extra pounds is excess fluid that does not leave the body due to the low amount of water and the large amount of salt.
  4. By cleansing the body. When the intestines are freed from toxins and toxins, a healthy microflora is formed, which is a favorable condition for healthy digestion. It can be cleaned without pills or drugs, only with the help of natural products.
  5. By accelerating metabolism. When all metabolic processes occur rapidly, it is easy for a person to keep fit without dieting.

How to lose weight quickly?

Losing weight at home requires a holistic approach. It is recommended to cleanse the body, apply methods to speed up metabolism, adjust nutrition and perform daily exercises.

body cleansing

Exit from the body of toxins and toxins contributes to the daily use of such products as:

  • Beets and dishes from it. You can eat a vegetable in its raw form, juice or heat treat it, as a separate dish or as part of others.
  • Nuts, especially prunes.
  • Green vegetables and fruits: white cabbage (fresh or sauerkraut), herbs, cucumbers, zucchini, celery, onions, garlic, apples, kiwi.
  • Citrus, especially grapefruit and lemons.
  • Blueberry.
  • Carrot.
  • Celery.
  • Linen products: seeds, flour, bran, oil. You can eat for a long time, but the daily dose of any product should not exceed 20 g. If the weight loss course is short - not more than 14 days, then 50 g per day.
  • Ordinary pure water without gas.

Also, a variety of teas and cocktails will be effective:

  1. Ginger tea. To prepare it, 20 grams of ginger root, grated on a fine grater, pour 0. 5 liters of boiling water and let it brew in a thermos for a couple of hours. Then add the juice of half a lemon, a pinch of red pepper and drink throughout the day between meals. In addition to purifying, this drink strengthens the immune system.
  2. Kefir-based drinks: with cinnamon, raw or boiled beets.
  3. Sassi water. The recipe is simple: cut cucumber and lemon into rings, add 20 grams of ginger, finely chopped mint leaves, pour 2 liters of ordinary water at room temperature, put in the refrigerator overnight. Drink during the next day. It is recommended to prepare a new cocktail every day, because the components of the composition lose their properties over time.

Another way to cleanse the body, especially after the holidays with a characteristic feast, is with the help of activated charcoal. The daily dose is calculated (1 tablet for every 10 kg of weight), divided into 3 doses. The first is consumed on an empty stomach, the rest - before the main meals for half an hour. In all cases, it is necessary to drink a lot of plain water, optimally - 2 glasses. The course of cleansing in this way should last no more than 10 days, ideally - 7.

None of the ways to cleanse the body is a self-sufficient method of losing weight, and all of them can bring long-term results only in combination with proper nutrition and sports.

How to speed up metabolism?

The most effective and harmless ways to speed up metabolism are as follows:

  1. The use of a large number of protein products: lean meats, all varieties of fish and shellfish, eggs, dairy and vegetable proteins. They must be at least 40% in the slimming diet. Another 40% should be slow carbohydrates and high fiber foods: grains, greens, fruits, greens. A little more carbohydrates, about 50%, are necessary for children, because they spend a lot of energy.
  2. Drink plenty of water, at least 8 glasses a day. The addition of lemon juice is welcome.
  3. Connect physical activity, in particular cardiovascular and aerobic training. They do not require any expense: you can run, jump rope and ride a bike in the nearest park or school stadium at a convenient time.
  4. Fractional nutrition according to the regimen. Frequent, but not bulky meals at the same time contribute to the coordinated work of all body systems.
  5. Regular visits to the bath or sauna. Optimally once every 7-14 days.
  6. The introduction of fasting days on kefir, raw vegetable food, buckwheat, rice. Without harm to health, they can be performed once a week.
  7. Healthy sleep that lasts at least 7-8 hours. When sleep patterns are disturbed, the body enters a state of stress. Nature has intended that during these periods metabolic processes slow down to save energy and fat reserves are deposited. Therefore, rest is an essential component of healthy weight loss.

In men, the metabolism is much faster, this is due to physiology. To speed up your metabolism, physical activity, drinking water (at least 8 glasses) and eating portions are enough. Using other methods will lead to even faster weight loss.

nutrition tips

In order to quickly and easily lose those extra pounds, you need to switch to a healthy and balanced diet. Basic rules:

  1. Eliminate from the diet foods containing fast carbohydrates: sugar and confectionery, meat substitutes in the form of sausages, sausages, sauces such as mayonnaise and ketchup, flour products, all harmful snacks (chips and crackers).
  2. Build a diet of protein, vegetables, fruits, cereals, dairy and sour-milk products.
  3. Count calories, try to create a deficit. You should reduce them gradually, taking into account changes in weight.
  4. Reduce the amount of salt consumed, if possible, abandon it completely. This will contribute to the release of excess fluid from the body and create the effect of rapid weight loss: in a week of a salt-free diet, you can lose 2-4 kg.
  5. It is correct to drink water and other beverages, before meals and at least 1. 5 hours after. Once in the digestive tract before a meal, it fills a certain part of the stomach, which leads to the consumption of less food. It is recommended to refrain from drinking immediately after eating because the liquid will not affect the concentration of gastric juice, diluting it and will not complicate digestion. In connection with these progressives, nutritionists recommend abandoning the classic first courses, replacing them with vegetable puree soups.
  6. Don't overeat. Proponents of the "5 tablespoons" diet claim that it is by eating excessive amounts of food that excess weight is deposited and diseases of all organs appear. The gastrointestinal tract cannot cope with the load, the food rots in the intestines, and this leads to various failures. The average recommended serving size is 200-300 grams for main meals and 100-150 grams for snacks.
  7. Eat properly, that is, slowly and carefully chewing food.

Physical exercise

Many employees of the fitness industry have shown that regular training and proper diet are much more effective for weight loss than intense but not systematic physical activity. They can be implemented at home. Training Options:

  1. Charge in the morning with a duration of 10-15 minutes.
  2. Breathing exercises: some yoga asanas, body bending postures. It is very important to learn to breathe correctly from the beginning. Practical experience shows that the supply of oxygen to muscle tissue during these types of activities has a tangible effect on the reduction of volumes. Of the easiest and most effective - the "empty" exercise, which should be performed on an empty stomach. Quickly and effectively relieves the stomach and improves digestion due to the internal massage of the stomach. Recommended for all women after pregnancy - this is the best way to deal with diastasis. "Empty" exercise
  3. Circuit training with or without weights. They help keep all the muscles of the body in good shape and are considered the best loads to lose weight for those who start in the sport. Its essence is that a set of exercises for different muscle groups is performed at a fast pace in a single approach 3-4 times. The number of repetitions in one approach is 12-20. A great advantage of such activity is that it does not require special equipment or costs. Below is an example of an effective 20-minute workout.
  4. Cardio loads: at home on the simulator or in the fresh air. They provide the best results when performed on an empty stomach or after strength training. It can be running: at a pace or intervals, bicycling, rollerblading, brisk walking, or jumping. The duration should be determined by how you feel, ideally 40-50 minutes at an average pace. At least 1 day a week is recommended to rest from physical activity.

Additional methods

In addition to all of the above, weight loss contributes to:

  1. Prolonged exposure to fresh air. Many experts argue that excess weight appears due to a lack of oxygen in the body, and they recommend walking in ecologically clean areas as often and as long as possible.
  2. cosmetic procedures. Leaders among all possible: massage, wrap, exfoliation. The massage may not necessarily be professional, it is enough to do a self-massage with moisturizing care cosmetics. Wraps are also quite possible to perform at home with the help of cling film and homemade masks. They contribute to the cleansing of the body through the skin and the release of excess fluid. It has been found that all the water released during the procedure returns as soon as the water balance is restored, so weight loss due to body wraps should not be expected. But they significantly improve the condition of the skin, which is necessary for weight loss. Rubbing 2-3 times a week is to clean the skin and massage at the same time. The procedure contributes to the local improvement of blood flow and, therefore, to the acceleration of metabolism.
  3. positive impressions. Psychologists and psychotherapists have shown that a common cause of excess weight is the stress of eating something tasty and high in calories. Those who are deficient in vivid emotions tend to seek them from alternative sources. Along with alcohol and drugs, food is becoming addictive for more and more people around the world. To avoid it, you should try to diversify your life with pleasant events: communication, creativity, hobbies, music, travel, reading books, self-education and others. This is very distracting from food and fills the inner world of a person. To lose weight, it is important to minimize stress in your life.

The combination of all these methods - cleansing the body, proper nutrition, moderate physical activity and cosmetic care of the body - allows you to quickly lose weight (5-10 kg per month). Losing weight will not feel hunger, loss of strength and fatigue. Such an integrated competent approach will also avoid psychological discomfort, because the restrictions will be minimal, as well as the efforts made.
