But actually, how do I lose weight that is healthy and natural? For some people, even though his body is ideal, but somehow he always still wants to look thinner than usual.
Undeniably, the owner of a slim body is easier to get the desired size of clothing than those who are overweight. Appearance in any outfit also looks more charming when someone has an ideal posture.
Healthy and natural ways to lose weight
No matter how much time you have, the following ways to lose weight can always be applied every day.
1. Drink water
Start your day with 1-2 glasses of water, the warmer the better. Research shows that drinking water in the morning can help activate the metabolic system while eliminating toxins from the body.
In addition, compared to other types of drinks, water is also free of calories. And because drinking water can help control hunger, you are advised to drink 1 glass of water a few minutes before eating to prevent excessive consumption.
If you get bored with the taste of fresh water, you can add lemon slices to add flavor and freshness in it. You are also allowed to replace the water with nutritious green tea to help you lose weight.
2. Walk after eating
After eating, there's no harm in walking slowly for 10 minutes to help burn calories while boosting the digestion process. Experts say active moves after filling the stomach can help clear glucose from blood vessels because glucose is taken up by muscles.
3. Fiber (fruit) my best friend
Make fiber as your best friend because this nutrient is not only healthy but also can help to manage the body. This is because foods rich in fiber can make the stomach feel full longer.
And because fibrous food takes longer to chew, then there is enough time for the body to catch signals that you are no longer in starvation mode.
Another advantage of high-fiber foods is the calorie content is lower than other types of food. If you find it difficult to increase fiber intake, do not hesitate to add fruit as a 'pickle' or appetizer menu (salads for example) every time you eat.
4. Eat at home
In addition to being more frugal, eating at home usually doesn't offer as many choices as you eat at restaurants. This can prevent you from 'hungry eyes' will be tempting various menus offered.
In addition, food sold in restaurants usually contains high fat and calories, whether it's from the oil, the ingredients used, how to process it, and so on. And if the food in the restaurant is served in large portions, then you will definitely feel sorry if you do not spend it.
Another case at home, you can process and measure the desired portion of food yourself. So if you want to be slimmer, reduce snacks outside, limit it to only once a week, bring lunch when working, and feel the difference.
5. Reduce salt
Not only in terms of the actual seasoning, salt here also includes all snacks that taste salty and high in sodium. Salt is usually used to preserve food, but the nature of salt also binds water so that it can make the body appear larger (bulging, swollen).
And because salt is 'addictive', it can make you want to snack and snack even more. One powerful way to avoid salt is to buy packaged snacks or processed foods.
6. Run away
Of the many types of sports, running is one exercise that can be relied upon if you want to be thin. Not just burning calories, running can also reduce stress and suppress hunger hormones.
If all this time you just walk the usual morning, start with jogging. When done in the same amount of time, running burns more calories than walking. The experts also believe that the body still burns calories for up to 2 hours after you finish running.
7. Push up and squat
If you don't have time to jog in the morning, then you can do push ups or squats. Only with 15 minutes of push ups and squats is enough to make you feel like you are doing intense exercise in the gym.
Not only experts in burning fat, both push ups and squats, they can also form arms and legs so that they are slimmer.
8. Distinguish between hunger and thirst
Often when the body feels thirsty, we assume it is hunger. From now on, whenever you feel hungry, don't rush to reach for food. Try drinking 1-2 glasses of water first.
If hunger disappears after drinking, then most likely what you felt before was actually thirst.
9. Don't eat when stressed
Treating food as an outlet for releasing frustration can backfire for a diet program. When stressed, it's a good idea to find another escape whether it's by sleeping, exercising, playing with pets, breathing fresh air, or socializing with friends.
10. Control yourself
When invited to a party that serves so much food, you will be tempted to try everything. That's not wrong as long as you try just a little for this food and a little too for that food.
11. Eat regularly
Better to eat 6-8 small portions every few hours, rather than large meals 3 times a day. Eating small portions done more often can make the metabolic process smoothly so that nothing is left of the burning process in the body.
12. Actively moving
After sitting all day in the office, don't sit around lazily at home while watching TV. Exercise or do other things that require the body to be more active in moving. Besides being able to lose weight, your health will always be maintained.
13. Get enough sleep
Research from Eastern Virginia Medical School found that lack of sleep can boost levels of the hormone ghrelin as an appetite hormone that triggers obesity. Therefore, for a way to manage the body successfully, then sleep at least 7-8 hours every night.
14. Lots of laughs
Helen Pilcher, PhD, founder of London’s Institute of Psychiatry found that laughing intensely can burn calories like when someone is doing cardio. Laughing for 1 hour can burn 120 calories, this amount is equivalent to 15-20 minutes of walking.
15. Find a sport that you like
If running, push-ups, or squats are not the type of exercise you enjoy doing, then look for other exercises that you like. This is better than not exercising at all.
16. Stop before you are full
The last way to lose weight that may also need to be applied is to eat when hungry, and stop before you are full. Besides being able to manage your body, you will get a reward for being able to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (for Muslims).
