01/22/2015

Many people start the year with good intentions. Diets are particularly high in the course. „Finally be slim again and fit in the favorite jeans“, Some people think after the calorie-rich holiday dinner. However, a lot should be considered in order to lose weight effectively and sustainably. So it is important to set a realistic goal. Often it does not have to be 20 kilos, but only five or ten, to feel better in his skin again. Because few succeed in a very large weight loss. In addition, the weight reduction should be done in a reasonable time.

Those who are hardly anything from one day to the next tend to lose a few kilos quickly, but they quickly return to their hips when they break off the radical diet. In addition, such malnutrition is highly unhealthy. Diet experts recommend a balanced, healthy diet and exercise, with a negative energy balance at the end of the day. The body then consumes more energy than it has absorbed in the form of calories throughout the day and attacks the body's (fat) reserves.

Motivation is the most important requirement for losing weight - regardless of the diet
Motivation is the alpha and omega of losing weight. Only those who want to reduce their weight of their own accord, have a good chance to successfully implement their project. Even heavier than the actual weight loss is often felt holding the desired weight. But with willpower, motivation and a balanced nutrition plan, that's also possible.

In order not to be tempted again and again, it helps many dieters, among other things, if they knowingly avoid situations in which they eat from a long time. This makes it much easier to reach for the chip bag in front of the TV than to meet friends for a walk or other activities after work. Anyone who is bored, on the other hand, proves to be more likely to use the fridge.

Already at breakfast you can save calories with a diet
Of course, what you eat also plays an essential role. While for a long time breakfast was considered the most important meal of the day and could be a bit more opulent, diet and diet experts also see the first meal of the day as the first opportunity to save calories. Instead of cereal or white bread roll with butter and jam, eggs also saturate and shrink the (belly) fat. This was the result of a US study in which 125 overweights either had an egg meal, occasionally a bagel or no low calorie breakfast. The egg group achieved the best results in terms of weight reduction.

Other studies have concluded that a less sumptuous breakfast results in lower follow-up meals. Overall, those at the end of the day consumed fewer calories, eating less for breakfast. Those who did not eat breakfast did not catch up with the calories at a later time. Conversely, those who ate high calorie reduced calories in the remaining meals only on 25 percent of the days of the study period.

Diet tips that make losing weight easier
A trick to automatically eat less is a smaller plate. Instead of eating from a large plate, which therefore fits a large portion, it makes sense to lose weight to use a smaller breakfast or cake plate. On top of that, the amounts of food appear larger, although actually less is on the plate than in a larger one. „Visually-oriented people will surely benefit from this optical trick!“, explains nutritional physiologist Susanne Klaus of the German Institute for Nutritional Research (DIfE) in Potsdam-Rehbrücke compared to the online edition of „Focus“.

In addition, the expert advises to chew every bite for a long time. „The meal time is prolonged and the feeling of having eaten more.“ In addition, the stomach can digest food better, which has already been easily decomposed by the saliva. People who eat more slowly generally regain calories because they are fed up sooner. For this messengers are responsible, the signal in the brain after about 20 minutes „Fed up“ send out. Therefore, stopping at a slow tempo stops before eating too much.

Spicy food stimulates the metabolism
If you want to boost your metabolism, you should regularly eat spicy food. According to Ayurvedic dietetics and healing art, spicy spices such as chilli, ginger and pepper stimulate digestion and metabolism. In addition, they should cleanse the body, especially the blood and the skin. The body converts some of the calories into heat after eating, which is further enhanced by the spicy spices. (Ag)
