Increase fiber and protein intake
The best way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. But it is difficult to implement. This is particularly true if there are restrictions on exercise due to poor health or poor circumstances such as cold winter weather. Exercise boosts your metabolism, allowing your body to burn calories more efficiently.
If you don’t exercise, your metabolism is likely to slow down. However, what should I do if I have to lose weight when I’m faced with a situation where I cannot inevitably exercise? The American current affairs magazine ‘US News and World Report’ presented a way to lose weight without exercise.
Focus on eating
It’s easy to overeat if you don’t just focus on what you’re eating when you eat. When eating, put your mobile phone away. Chewing slowly is another way to focus on your meal. That way you’ll know when you’re really full.
Fiber intake
Eating fiber keeps you feeling full longer. The recommended daily amount of fiber is 25g for women and 38g for men. A cup of black beans contains 15 grams of fiber, and a cup of broccoli contains 5 grams of fiber.
△ small bowl
Replace eating bowls and plates with smaller ones. Rice uses small bowls, and salads with grains and proteins also use small plates.
△ reduce the amount
When you go to a restaurant, don’t hesitate to eat half of your food and take the leftovers.
△ drink water
Eating fiber-rich foods and drinking plenty of water is a successful combination for weight loss. It is best to stop drinking sugary sodas and drink water.
Eat more protein
Foods rich in protein provide energy to the body. It is recommended to eat 25 to 30 grams per meal. Health experts say, “Increase your protein intake when dieting.”
A healthy snack
Prepare healthy snacks to avoid the potato chip and cookie trap. In the fridge, have sliced cucumbers and carrots for easy-to-eat snacks, and place fruit bowls where you can see them.
