Many people who are overweight are willing to do super strict diet. In fact, these seven important rituals can help you lose weight quickly and healthily.
1. Do not skip breakfast with high-fat non-fat foods such as red meat and cheese
2. Do not eat while watching television or using gadgets. A study says that such a habit may reduce the quality of eating and interfere your concentration. As a result, you will eat with excessive portions.
3. Do something you love in the morning to lower the level of cortisol (stress hormone). According to an endocrinology and obesity expert, Michael Jensen, MD, stress can slow down the metabolism that can cause difficulty in losing weight.
4. Sport is one of the best ways to lose weight, but try not to do the same exercise every day. You can try HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) program. This is a cardio exercise that uses a combination of high intensity exercise with moderate or low intensity over a period of time.
5. Support from the closest people can make it easier for you to lose weight. It is important for you to participate in a diet community. Bartolome Burguera, MD, of Cleveland Clinic, explained that the success of losing weight is not determined by the advice or support from doctors, but simply by the support provided by a group.
6. Set the time and menu of your lunch well ahead of time, about 60 minutes before meal time. According to a study in the Journal of Marketing Research, people who order lunch before meal time tend to order food that contain few calories.
7. Do not force yourself to do super strict diet. "The first mistake people make when they start trying to lose a lot of weight is thinking, 'I have this huge amount of weight to lose, so I have to push myself to the limits to do it,'" said Lee Jordan, a personal trainer and health coach of the American Council on Exercise.
