Now everyone pursues “thin is beautiful”, the requirements for body shape are getting higher and higher, especially many women are distressed about losing weight. Some people choose to diet for weight loss, some people choose to exercise for weight loss, but if weight loss methods are too extreme, it can also harm the body. In fact, as long as you grasp the 5 time periods of the day when it’s easiest to gain weight, losing weight is very simple.
The 5 time periods of the day when it’s easiest to gain weight:
1. Breakfast time:
Many people nowadays skip breakfast directly due to time constraints, not only will it make the morning’s work less focused, but also because of hunger in the morning, they will eat more at lunch, naturally leading to weight gain. So, no matter how busy we are, we should have breakfast on time. Drink a glass of warm water first thing in the morning to reduce blood viscosity, clear intestinal waste, and promote metabolism. When having breakfast, pay attention to a balanced mix of dishes, mainly whole grains, add some fresh fruits or eggs. This way, you can feel full and it is very helpful for weight loss.
2. 1 hour before meals:
Whenever it’s almost time to eat, everyone feels very hungry and may eat some small snacks like biscuits, candies to ease hunger. However, these snacks usually have high calories, exceeding the limit, causing weight gain. You can drink water an hour before meals, not only can control food intake but also lubricate the stomach. If really hungry, you can eat fruits high in dietary fiber before meals, consume fewer snacks. However, try to eat less sour fruits, as they may make you hungrier.
3. Afternoon tea time:
Since there is a long interval between lunch and dinner, many people feel hungry around 3 to 4 pm and may have an afternoon tea to satisfy hunger. But if you consume foods like cakes, french fries, bubble tea, losing weight becomes even harder. When choosing afternoon tea, try to avoid high-calorie, high-sugar foods. Nuts, fruits, oats are good choices, filling yet not fattening. Alternatively, if you feel like eating something during afternoon tea time, get up and move around, suppressing your appetite.
4. After exercise:
People who choose exercise for weight loss might have this question: can you eat after exercise? Exercise burns the body’s energy, making you naturally feel hungry after exercising. But if you can’t control yourself and overeat, exceeding the calories, it will lead to weight gain. After exercise, first of all, you should drink plenty of water to replenish the water lost through sweat. Half an hour after exercise, you can eat some high-protein foods like chicken breast, milk to repair muscle growth.
5. Before sleeping:
Feeling hungry before sleeping is probably the voice of those who like to have late-night snacks. Actually, you can eat before sleeping but make wise choices. If you eat high-calorie foods like instant noodles, BBQ, can you avoid gaining weight? You may choose to drink a glass of milk or eat low-calorie fruits. This can promote sleep and prevent weight gain.
Human nature tends to love beauty and when losing weight, you must choose what suits you best, not too extreme, avoid harming your body and causing weight rebound. By mastering these 5 time points when weight gain is easier, taking preventive measures, I believe everyone can easily achieve the desired body shape!
