We talked about how fast food does not work. That is, they can give results, but only for a short time, and when you switch to a normal diet, the weight returns. Is it possible to lose weight in just one month? Here are some obscure ways to lose weight that have been shared by nutritionists and fitness experts.
Method number 1: Do not count calories
While reducing the caloric content of your diet may not have a positive effect, it is still time to stop counting calories and focus on the nutritional value of food. This is the factor that spoils and causes disorder if you suddenly eat something really high in calories. As a result, this can lead to constant stress, an even greater desire to lose weight, and, consequently, psychological disorders such as bulimia or anorexia. Nutritionists say that it is better to count not the caloric content, but BJU products - the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in them - and rely on protein foods, eat less carbohydrates and fats.
Method number 2: Do not eat vegetables alone
Above, we said that you should rely on protein foods. Yes, a vegetable salad made from seasonal vegetables, a teaspoon mixed with vegetable oil, will be really healthy and will even saturate the body. But not for long. Moreover, fresh vegetables are quickly absorbed and do not provide the body with the required amount of nutrients. Therefore, you should not eat only salad without meat, side dishes and other items. Prepare lunch or dinner to include protein - chicken breast, turkey, boiled veal, fish and seafood. Do not forget about small amounts of slow carbohydrates - whole grains and cereals, whole grain breads or firm wheat pasta. Hoda, now you can think of a fresh vegetable salad to add to your meal.
Method number 3: Get complete rest
This seemed like an obvious fact, but think about it: How many hours a day do you sleep? If you can not cope with the extra pounds, we can put in no more than 5-6 hours. When the body is fully rested, it should sleep for at least 7-8 hours and its metabolism should be maintained at an appropriate level. American scientists have confirmed the fact that people who sleep less than 5 hours a day have a probability of obesity of about 70%. But those who sleep for 6 hours - only 30%. If you do not get enough sleep, the level of the hormone ghrelin in the body increases - this substance is responsible for appetite and hunger. Nutritionists also say that you should not engage in excessive physical activity to the detriment of sleep. If you sleep for 5 hours in the gym in the morning, it is better to refrain from exercise, but get enough sleep - it will be much more effective for weight loss.
Method number 4: Exercise before breakfast
Not to mention morning exercises - they will definitely be more effective for weight loss than exercising at other times of the day. However, remember that early in the morning, before your first meal, is an ideal time for cardio (aerobic) exercise that is not too intense. During such exercise, it is the fatty tissue that burns - it becomes a source of energy for physical work, because the level of insulin in the blood is minimal and the body normally receives energy mainly from sugar. On the other hand, if you go for strength training (anaerobic training) by lifting weights, with extra weights, with an abundance of approaches and repetitions, the body definitely needs strengthening. Therefore, strength training should be done after breakfast or at other times of the day, but not on an empty stomach.
Method number 5: Exercise for only half an hour
This is another news that fitness experts and doctors are telling us about. It turns out that if you exercise for a long time, more than 60 minutes, the level of the stress hormone cortisol in the body increases. And this is exactly the hormone that is responsible for the deposition of fat from every extra calorie and the distribution of fat throughout the body (i. e. it is deposited in problem areas such as the abdomen, thighs and sides). Therefore, it is good if your workout does not last more than 40-45 minutes, by the way, you can exercise often, even every day. If you are doing this for a long time, divide the lesson into parts (for example, strength training and cardio session) between which it is worth taking a short break.
Method number 6: Eat cyclically
If you still can not count the calories, turn this factor in your favor: eat cyclically. ᲐHow? Let's talk in more detail. If your daily calorie intake is around 1500 kcal, you should eat about 1200 kcal on Monday, no more. On Tuesday, eat your norm - 1500 kcal. And on Wednesday you can eat 1700-1800 kcal. But from Thursday, go back to 1200 kcal again and continue eating this way for three days, changing the caloric content of your daily diet. This approach will allow you to "cheat" the body, not put it in a stressful situation and not allow it to adapt to low-calorie content, which in turn will allow the body to more effectively and quickly leave the accumulated kilograms and successfully break down and remove fat cells.
