What is lifestyle weight loss?
Weight loss = part of life
Manifestations of lifestyle weight loss:
1. Proactively integrate weight loss habits into daily life, paying attention to changes in one’s body and mindset
2. Recognize individual differences, not just following trends, but choosing the weight loss method that is most suitable for oneself
3. Continuously cultivate positive eating habits and weight loss mindset
Weight loss ≠short-term plan
Ineffective weight loss models:
1. Strict dieting method – transforming into a grazing animal
2. Crazy exercise method – working out to the point of being moved by oneself
3. Eat well before losing weight – three days of weight loss, two days of relaxing
Lifestyle weight loss – diet
Balanced nutrition
While eating, pursue nutritional balance to meet the body’s daily needs for quality fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, and intake sufficient dietary fiber and vitamins. Only with comprehensive nutrition can weight loss efficiency be high.
Say “NO” to high oil, high salt, and high sugar. Foods like fried dough sticks, cakes, milk tea, and fried skewers, though delicious, are huge obstacles on the path of weight loss! During lifestyle weight loss, it is best to only have a taste of high oil, high salt, and high sugar foods, and finding food with a similar taste but lower calories to replace them is a good method.
Face your appetite, break the dieting cycle
When eating, focus more on sensory experiences and emotional changes, savoring the satisfaction brought by slow chewing, while avoiding a strictly restrained mindset. When encountering a food you particularly want to eat, it’s okay to have a bite; this can effectively avoid the guilt that comes with dieting.
Drink more water! Stay hydrated!
Water can promote circulation, reduce the accumulation of fat in the body, and increase the metabolism of fat. Drinking water half an hour before meals can enhance feelings of fullness and reduce food intake. Drinking more water can also help prevent constipation.
Exercise at the right time, boost weight loss efforts. Weight loss relies 70% on diet and 30% on exercise~ So exercise is not a necessity for weight loss, but it can improve weight loss efficiency. During weight loss, engage in appropriate exercise based on your physical condition, which can also help improve posture and mental outlook.
Proactively adjust your mindset, refuse anxiety. Weight loss is a long-term battle, so do not be trapped by the numbers on the scale! Learn to reflect on yourself and continuously adjust your mindset.
When encountering a weight loss plateau, by changing your diet structure and exercise patterns, you will surely have surprising results.
