Losing weight, are you still hungry? Be careful, the more you cut back, the fatter you may get. Prolonged feelings of hunger can cause the body to enter starvation mode, leading to a decrease in metabolism, resulting in reduced calorie expenditure, and making it easier to develop a tendency to gain weight.
Scientific weight loss should start from the details of daily life, creating a calorie deficit for the body. This way, you don’t have to go hungry and can slim down without even realizing it. Below is a weight loss buddy’s sharing: 6 methods to boost metabolism that helped me lose 30 pounds!
1. I have breakfast on time, consisting of boiled eggs, soy milk, milk paired with whole grain cereals, keeping the calorie intake around 400 calories, which can provide the energy the body needs, kickstart the metabolism, and control the amount eaten at lunch.
2. In the morning, I do 300 jumping jacks, 100 per set, 3 sets totaling 300 jumping jacks. It only takes less than 10 minutes each time and keeps the body in a fat-burning state for the entire morning.
3. I drink water proactively, avoiding beverages with added sugars to prevent unnecessary sugar intake. Water is the body’s metabolic carrier. I stick to drinking a glass of water in the morning, a glass before meals, and a glass 30 minutes after meals, with a daily water intake of over 2000ml, which helps prevent false hunger feelings.
4. I never overeat; I stop eating when I’m 80% full, effectively controlling stomach capacity. I have stopped indulging in strongly flavored foods and mainly cook with low oil and salt. I try to chew slowly and savor my meals, slowing down my eating pace, which helps avoid overeating.
5. I adjust the sequence of meals; I start with soup, then have a small portion of vegetables, and leave meat and main dishes for last. Adjusting the meal sequence can help unconsciously control calorie intake, improve intestinal peristalsis, alleviate constipation issues, and make the body operate more efficiently.
6. I go to bed early and never stay up late, falling asleep with a sense of hunger. I sleep a full 9 hours every day, avoiding late-night snacks, ensuring sufficient sleep, allowing for efficient body repair, increased levels of leptin, improved metabolism, and notably accelerated weight loss.
