Diets, pills, starvation promise us rapid weight loss. But if you want to achieve a result and keep it, you need to act competently. Wday.ru tells you how.
1. Find an incentive. You understand that a woman in front of a mirror is not your ideal. And I want to have a slender body for a long time. But how to convince yourself to start changing, you are not clear. Therefore, you can yourself, or you can write on a piece of paper all the pros and cons of your position, and then imagine that you have achieved the goal, and again present all the pros and cons. What can I say, the reasons are obvious. Then go ahead!
2. Make a list of harmful products. You have firmly decided that the goal is above all, and 3 kilograms that do not fit in a new dress should tell you: "Goodbye!" Now you need to learn that not everything from your usual menu has the right to take a place on the dining table. It will be easier for you to navigate the menu if you have all the harms before your eyes: fatty, sweet, flour, potatoes, white rice.

3. Keep a diary of calories, movement and weight. It will help you monitor the dynamics of the process. Write down everything you ate, how much you dropped, how many kilometers you walked or how many times you sat down. After you evaluate your efforts and compare with the result, it will become clear to you where you made a mistake and what should be corrected. Records should be honest, you should not deceive yourself. By the way, the page in social networks will help you share your achievements and will not allow you to be lazy: subscribers will vigilantly monitor your progress.
4. Learn how to make a shopping list. You have decided to limit your diet and keep a calorie diary. But going to the supermarkets is tempting for you to buy unnecessary products. Come up with a menu for the week in advance, which will not contain fatty, sweet, flour. Leave a list of products for future dishes - and in the store! Such instructions will allow you not only not to buy too much, but also to save the budget.
5. Stock up on PP recipes in advance. People who have not set a goal to eat right, it is difficult to come up with healthy dishes on the go. Go to the network and study cooking sites, blog pages of those who have successfully coped with the task of losing weight and share the secrets of dietary cooking with like-minded people. Remember, healthy meals can be delicious!

6. Have a conversation with your loved ones. You have decided on a list of useful products. Your task is not to turn them into a fatty dish under the onslaught of relatives. Therefore, warn them in advance that you eat separately. Otherwise, provocations cannot be avoided. Eat boiled, stewed or steamed. If you do not have a steamer or slow cooker, remember how grandmothers cooked for a couple: a pot of boiling water, a grill on top, a colander or gauze. Believe me, the body will soon understand that it is delicious, and thank you for your care! And loved ones will be happy with a slender wife and mother.
7. Wear lunch boxes with the right snacks to work. This is another useful habit that should be acquired on the way to a slender figure. In the evening, put the dishes in containers so that in the morning you are not lazy, but simply put everything you need in a bag. Then you will be less likely to be tempted by fast food snacks.
8. Make a habit of eating more fiber. Especially in the warm season, when the harvest on the table falls directly from the bed. The fact is that in foods rich in fiber,there are few calories. You'll eat enough, but low in calories. And this will allow you not to experience a strong feeling of hunger. Only introduce it into the diet gradually to avoid discomfort in the intestines. Fiber is rich in berries, vegetables, fruits, beans, dried fruits, cereals and whole grain bread.
9. Do not resort to starvation. Such processes send signals to the body about the crisis, which causes a slowdown in metabolism. According to studies, hunger inhibits metabolism by 25-30%. So we're going to get the opposite effect. For the same reason, you can not ignore breakfast. Recall that at night the metabolism decreases, and if in the morning a hungry body does not get what it needs, it will only continue to preserve everything that, as they say, was acquired by overwork. So fasting will play a cruel joke with us and lead to the opposite result.
10. Change the calorie content of the menu. Because of the body's ability to adapt to new conditions, it is necessary to change the number of calories that we consume every day. If you have reduced the calorie content of products if you want to lose weight, the body will simply sooner or later adapt and again lower the metabolic rate. In short, our body is created by nature in such a way as to preserve its strength for as long as possible under any critical circumstances. Therefore, we take into account all his tricks and a couple of times a week we allow ourselves a little more than usual.

11. Eat plenty of protein. In order to speed up the metabolic process, there should be a lot of protein in the diet - meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs, dairy products, low-fat cottage cheese, hard cheese. For its assimilation, the body has to sweat a lot, and therefore spend more calories than usual. In addition, it is a building material for our muscles.
12. Drink enough water. On this topic, there are many opinions "for" and "against". But scientists say that a glass of clean water 30 minutes before breakfast starts the body's metabolic process. That is, sleep for the body is starvation. After a night, he turns on a self-preservation mode and absorbs foods in slow motion, saving calories. And the assimilation of 2 liters of water for the whole day, especially cool, makes the body work - heat it to the desired temperature and eventually spend about 70 kilocalories on this.
13. Drink vitamins. Any decision to get rid of excess weight leads to a decrease in the volume of food, and hence vitamins. In order not to lose strength and go on the intended course, take a multivitamin.
14. Eat from smaller dishes. You will still eat a whole plate of porridge, only this plate is a third or half the usual. By the way, psychologists believe that plates of dark shades also discourage the desire to eat a lot or even more so to go for an additive. And, as they say, in the war with extra calories, all means are good!
15. Increase the number of meals. You have already changed the volume of the plate, and now do not starve yourself and start eating more often: you should have 5-6 main meals and snacks a day. Arrange the last meal 3 hours before bedtime. If after dinner began to torment the feeling of hunger, eat protein - boiled egg. By the way, exclude meals in front of the TV. You should eat without accompanying gadgets and sitting.

16. Eat slower. A common cause of overeating is too fast a rate of food absorption. The slower you eat, the more and better the food is absorbed. And why eat too much, if you can get eeddling less? In addition, our physiology is such that the brain sends signals about satiety no earlier than 15-20 minutes. So we gain patience and enjoy the meal slowly.
17. Brush your teeth after each meal. If possible, observe this rule of hygiene after breakfast, lunch and dinner. First, there are medical recommendations for this, and your teeth will stay healthy longer. Secondly, mint taste can dull the perception of taste buds, which means that you will not feel the taste of the remaining spices in your mouth or accidentally eaten goodies, thereby not arousing the excessive need to immediately add something else to your diet.
18. Take care of cardio. Here we come to the most interesting part of any weight loss process. No wonder they say: you can not easily catch a fish from the pond. First of all, we will deal with cardio - exercises for training the heart muscle. Suitable jogging, cycling, exercises with a rope,swimming, Nordic walking or ordinary walking at a fast pace, step aerobics, even dancing - a payload. Just learn that such efforts are contraindicated in the morning, when the heart is not working at full strength. When a person's pulse accelerates to 120 beats, the process of burning the subcutaneous layer of fat starts. The main thing is regular classes, from simple to complex. But before you begin, be sure to consult a doctor.
19. Add strength exercises. They should make the company of cardio training, since after the first not only fat, but also muscle mass leaves. Therefore, you need to work hard to increase it, otherwise it will be enough for the body to burn fewer calories. It is important to start each workout with a warm-up so that the body does not experience shock from the load: use all the joints and stretch. By the way, experienced athletes claim that you can replace the whole gym with classes with an expander.
20. Change exercises. Mother Nature has arranged for us so that we adapt to almost any situation, and even more so to power loads. Therefore, do not use exercises on the same muscle groups every time. Believe me, the body has already mastered and it is not surprising. Replace, for example, running with a step - climbing to a hill without the help of hands, or climb the stairs. At the same time, regularly monitor your pulse - it should be in the range of 100-120 beats per minute.

21. Get enough sleep. What could be better than a sound healthy sleep? It is he who promotes weight loss and prevents its subsequent increase. For healthy life of the body, it is required to sleep at least 8 hours and observe the regimen. When these conditions are met, human biorhythms are not disturbed, and the hormonal background remains in order and does not lead to increased appetite.
22. Massage. This is a great way to lose weight. Anti-cellulite in the cabin - effective, pleasant and... dearly. However, you can independently begin to master this technique, including with the help of vacuum cans. But carefully, there are contraindications, especially for people with problems of the cardiovascular system. Massage improves blood circulation, accelerates metabolism and removes excess fluid from the body. By the way, the same effect has a honey massage: just pat the places on which honey is applied. Will bring results and massage with warming creams or with a brush. So down with subcutaneous fat and goodbye cellulite!
23. Use essential oils in your care. Massage with them is effective, but it is best to use them when wrapping. The procedure in the wellness salons is immodest. Therefore, we learn to do it on our own at home. Wash thoroughly, steam the skin and rub it with a non-rigid sponge or scrub. After applying the composition for wrapping in gentle circular movements on the abdomen, buttocks, legs. Then we wrap the zones with food film, wrap ourself in a towel on top and relax for an hour. In addition to essential oils for wrapping, honey, dry mustard diluted immediately before the procedure, blue clay, kelp algae mixed with water are also suitable. After an hour we take a shower and for 15-20 minutes we plunge into a salt bath. Nourishing cream will complete the procedure.
24. Hide the scales. They will only distract you from the process and not always give a correct idea of the picture of the day. When you lose fat but build muscle, the weight doesn't give up. So be patient. The main thing is not to despair and observe the regime. And also use a measuring tape. It should show you if the subcutaneous fat is actually going away.
25. Lead an active lifestyle. If you are engaged in the goal of losing weight, try not to sit in front of the TV, but constantly do something. So created a person that when his brain is actively working, there is simply no time to think about delicacies. Even if there is no way to get out somewhere, take care of the house - do the cleaning, sort the wardrobe, transplant the flowers
