Losing weight at home - it seems that this is just a dream. Comfort, warmth, nobody bothers you and. . . no one takes you anywhere. This is exactly where the problem lies.
Fortunately, using human psychology, the effect on your subconscious allows us to lose weight (as well as do other things) much easier.
As a rule, life itself throws ideas of such "impact" at me. So it was this time.
Easy idea to lose weight at home.
During the next monthly appointment with the pediatrician, it turned out that the son had not gained weight well (in the first year of life, this is monitored quite accurately). They wrote me a huge list of what, when and how much to eat. When I looked at this manual, I was horrified. First thought: "I'll never remember this! " I had to hang the paper on the refrigerator so I could always refer to it.
A week later, the list was trashed as unnecessary; it was already clearly deposited in my memory, although I did not set myself such a goal.
Around the same time, I noticed that I began to pay less attention to physical activity, especially since the excuse was "iron" - I had no assistants left in the summer season.
Add movement!
I simply hung a list on the refrigerator, indicating a certain muscle zone against the days of the week:
- monday - press
- Tuesday - buttocks
- 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 with a total duration of 10-15 minutes). In addition, I performed the usual and familiar exercises for me: I brushed my teeth and washed the dishes, half crouching or standing on one leg, dancing while ironing clothes, and doing small mini-exercises during breaks at work.
The result was not long in coming: the body "tightened" in just 3 weeks. At the same time, I was struck by a reminder of the need to exercise constantly; after all, it is a sin to hide it, we often go to the kitchen.
Adjust your diet!
The same manipulation can be done with food.
Follow the principle: on this or that day I need to eat certain foods, and the rest is left to my discretion, so that you do not feel completely limited in everything.
For example:
- hard-boiled egg;
- fresh carrot and cabbage salad;
- Apple;
- pear;
- boiled fish;
- cottage cheese;
- buckwheat.
Use the rule: one meal, only one dish. Meal breaks are 2-4 hours.
I am often asked: what is better, 2 hours or 4? It's simple: after a snack, if it is really light, it is difficult to endure more than 2-2, 5 hours. And if you ate heartily, then 4 hours is better.
And one more thing: it is highly desirable not to eat 3-4 hours before bedtime, but to eat as little carbohydrate food as possible for dinner.
Important conditions for successful weight loss
The fact that you need to drink enough water and sleep, this should be clear to my longtime readers, like God's day.
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), sleep at least 7 hours a night and go to bed no later than 11 pm.
And also let me remind you: with a lack of sleep, you can lose weight 2-5 times slower, with partial dehydration of the body (and it is inevitable if you drink little) - 2-3 times. Conclusions and appropriate actions are up to you.
And one more important condition for successful weight loss at home - you do not need everything at once. This means that you first tidy up one area, develop good habits in it, and only then take on another.
You have four areas: food, movement, water, sleep. Start with what seems easiest to you.
As for water and sleep, for proper motivation, you can also use reminders pasted on the wall of the fridge. For example, 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 are doing this, and every time a 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. And you can! Losing weight at home is available only to those who are confident in victory over excess weight; without this belief, nowhere. With all my heart I wish you beauty, harmony and health!
