I believe that weight loss without strength is impossible. You need to be tortured in the gym or refuse to eat altogether. Well, or at least starve to death a few times a week, and eat apples and cucumbers the rest of the time.
The modern view of nutritionists is very different from the stereotype method. The danger of fasting has been proven by science and practice.
Jog or fitness regularly is as effective as trying to lose weight through kettlebells and machines. A lazy diet can be the beginning of the way to get proper nutrition, and an attractive figure for years to come. So, what is its function?
How to lose weight for lazy people: principles of nutrition
In order to effectively combat excess weight, please follow the following rules:
- Drink water before mealsThe essence of the diet is to replace part of the food with drinking pure water. Drink two glasses 20-30 minutes before each meal. The water fills the stomach and lengthens the stomach wall. The body sees it as a sign of fullness and prevents hunger. When eating, you don’t want to eat too much or swallow too fast. If you don't have an appetite, then you need less. Adhering to this rule, it is easy to reduce your diet by 30-40%.
- Drink water after a mealOne hour after a meal, you can drink a glass or two of liquids (water, green tea or green tea without sugar, vegetable juice). Fluid forces the body to spend more calories to maintain its own functions and increases the rate of metabolic processes by 30%. Only by drinking plenty of water can the excess water in the waist and buttocks be eliminated. Indeed, when there is a lack of water in the diet, the body will store it in the tissues, causing edema and bringing extra volume and weight to the body.
- Eat healthy foodsA lazy diet will not make you wonder whether to continue eating hamburgers, french fries and ice cream every day. These products must be replaced with full-price foods: vegetables, fruits, meat and fish, grains, legumes.
Plan four meals throughout the day. The most intensive are breakfast and lunch. Dinner should be as light as possible
Lazy diet-weekly diet
The advantage of dieting is that you don’t have to count calories or measure servings. Eat according to your appetite (taking into account the water you drink before meals). Include the simple healthy foods from this list in your diet.
Breakfast-Millet porridge in water or milk, buckwheat porridge in milk, vanilla omelet, tofu casserole, cheesecake, boiled eggs, natural sugar-free yogurt, cheeseToast, honey and berry oatmeal, cheese with fruit or berries
Snacks-any fruit, a few berries or nuts.
Lunch-Homemade noodle chicken soup, meatball soup, vegetable casserole, boiled or grilled fish, vegetable salad (any combination of cabbage, cucumber, tomato, sweet pepper, green vegetables), smallLentil soup, cereals or macaroni with stewed liver or boiled chicken as a side dish
Dinner-egg and vegetable salad, cheese with honey, a cup of kefir or fermented milk from toasted bread, baked or stewed non-starchy vegetables (cabbage, zucchini, eggplant, Bell peppers, tomatoes), boiled or baked fish
There may be other meals in your diet, and the menu should change every day. An important advantage of a lazy diet is that it can teach you to eat healthy and wholesome foods. After dieting (you should not insist on drinking so many ways for more than two weeks), the resulting eating habits will help maintain weight.
Nutritionist's opinion, contraindications
Patients with kidney disease should not eat for lazy people. In case of gastrointestinal diseases, you should consult a doctor. In addition, drinking plenty of water can help the body excrete minerals (calcium, potassium, magnesium). When following this diet, it is recommended to take mineral supplements.
According to nutritionists, a lazy diet is beneficial because it can teach you to drink enough fluids. For people who do not have this habit, this will become a vivid indicator of how ordinary water accelerates the metabolic process and normalizes weight.
But this is also its disadvantage. If a person is used to a high-calorie diet, there will be no obvious weight loss effect. The water will help to get rid of the edema in the tissues and clean the intestines. Therefore, on the first day, the weight will be reduced by three to four kilograms, and within two weeks, it will help to get rid of 9-12 kilograms of excess weight.
If you continue to eat by mistake, weight loss will stop in the first week, so a balanced diet is important, which is the same as the habit of drinking enough water.
