Losing weight at home - it seems that it is just a dream. Comfort, convenience, no one bothers you and . . . nobody drives you anywhere. This is exactly where the problem lies.
Fortunately, using human psychology, acting on his subconscious allows us to lose weight (as well as other things) much easier.
As a rule, life itself gives me ideas about such "influence". It was the same this time.
A simple idea for losing weight at home
During the next monthly check-up at the pediatrician, it turned out that the son did not gain weight well (in the first year of life, this is quite strictly controlled). They wrote me a huge list of what, when and how much he should eat. When I looked at this manual, I was horrified. First thought: "I will never remember this! "I had to hang the paper 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 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 pronunciation was "iron" - I no longer had helpers in the summer season.
Add movement!
I just hung a list on the fridge, on which the specific muscle zone was indicated against the day of the week:
- Monday - press
- Tuesday - butt
- Wednesday - legs
- Thursday - Press
- Friday - back, chest
- Saturday - hands
- Sunday - legs
And after that I started doing exercises for the specified zone every day (at least 5 exercises for a total duration of 10-15 minutes). In addition, I performed the usual and familiar exercises for myself: brushing teeth and dishes, half-squatting or standing on one leg, dancing while ironing clothes and doing short mini-exercises during work breaks.
The result did not take long - the body "tightened" in just 3 weeks. At the same time, a reminder of the need to do exercises constantly caught my eye - after all, it's a sin to hide, we often go to the kitchen.
Customize your diet!
The same manipulation can be done with food.
Stick to the principle: on that and that day I have to eat certain foods, and the rest is at my discretion - so you won't feel completely restricted in everything.
For example:
- boiled egg;
- fresh carrot and cabbage salad;
- Apple;
- pear;
- boiled fish;
- fresh 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 ate more, then 4 hours is better.
And one more thing: it is highly recommended not to eat 3-4 hours before going to bed, but to eat as few carbohydrates as possible for dinner.
Important conditions for successful weight loss
The fact that you need to drink enough water and sleep - that should be clear to my long-time readers, like a day from God.
In short: you need to drink 30 milliliters for each kilogram of weight (for example, if you weigh 100 kilograms, the water norm is 3 liters), and sleep at least 7 hours a night, and go to bed no later than 11 pm.
And let me remind you: with lack of sleep, you can lose weight 2-5 times slower, with partial dehydration of the body (which is inevitable if you drink little) - 2-3 times. The conclusions and appropriate actions are up to you.
And another important condition for successful weight loss at home: you don't need everything at once. This means that you first sort out one area, develop good habits in it, and only then take over another.
You have four areas: food, movement, water, sleep. Start with what seems easiest to you.
As for water and sleep, you can also use reminders attached to the refrigerator wall for proper motivation. For example, a 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 do it - and every time the refrigerator enters your field of vision.
And most importantly, believe in yourself! Let them tell you that it is difficult to lose weight at home - after all, there are temptations around. And you can! Losing weight at home is available only to those who are sure of victory over extra pounds - without this conviction anywhere. I wish you beauty, harmony and health from the bottom of my heart!
