The problem of excess pounds is becoming increasingly burdensome for both sexes. Along with the sound advice on diet, exercise, sleep, we will reveal some tricks that will help in maintaining or regaining your silhouette.
1. Healthy Sweets
Ice cream, chocolate and cookies are very tasty, but we can get the daily requirement of sugar from other healthier foods that also accelerate the fat burning, energizing us and contain antioxidants, vitamins and minerals: fruit. It is recommended to eat a pound of fruit a day, after meals. This habit will also improve your digestion!
2. Dry Bread Or Toast
If the hunger sensation does not go away and makes you eat more than normal, we recommend you to eat a slice or two of dry bread or toast, crackers, pretzels, etc. These “brushwood” are meant to absorb the gastric juices and to “cut” the feeling of hunger.
3. Eating Often Is Better Than Eating A Lot
In exchange for rare but nourishing meals, it is advisable to eat less but often; it is good to grab just a few bites all the time. Large meals will expand the stomach, thus will increase the hunger, and will cause you to eat more to feel full. Therefore, the small meals, even if frequent, will shrink your stomach.
4. The Goodies You Cannot See You Will Eventually Forget
Avoid shopping in a supermarket, because the aesthetic and appetizing view of the products will make you to you buy an entire refrigerator. A full refrigerator has negative effects on your appetite, because every time you will be near it, you will tend to open it and take something good out of it from the stuff you just bought. The refrigerator should be as empty as possible and contain fruit, vegetables and foods that require no preparation and can be consumed as they are.
5. Hot Drinks
Hot drinks have a calming effect, even for hunger.
6. Brush Your Tongue
Brushing your teeth is not equal to a good oral hygiene. Saliva, the tongue and cheeks can accumulate a few bacteria that can build up in the networks. Trough swallowing they can reach further into the stomach and intestine, influencing the local flora, causing constipation, accumulation of toxins, digestive disorders development and finally unleash a whole chain of “disorders” that are hard to stop, which has among other effects, the obesity.
7. No Fats
Almost any animal product contains fat, just that some products contain more fat than others do. Eat chicken or fish and low-fat dairy (milk, cheese, cream, etc.).
8. Odors That Inhibit Hunger
A series of studies have revealed the inhibitory interference of odors on hunger, therefore it is considered that the smell of mint and apple has an inhibiting effect on hunger.
9. The Detox Diet
Once every few months it is indicated to have detox diet. A detox diet can be obtained through various methods, but the healthiest are those based only on fruits, vegetables and tea.
10. Climb Stairs And Walk
It would be ideal to spare some time each evening for a long walk, alone or together with a good company. Walking is very healthy for both physical and mental condition.
