It is very easy to gain excess weight, but difficult to lose it.What should I do?Is it really impossible to lose those hated pounds?Perhaps.The main thing is to choose a technique that you can stick to for a long time.These may include low-calorie diets and fasting.You can carry out these methods under the supervision of specialists or independently at home.You will definitely reduce weight.However, the effect will only be temporary: as long as you stick to it.
Fast
By tormenting yourself with hunger strikes, you not only lose the fat percentage of your body, but also the muscle percentage.The speed of weight loss is rapid.You just need to drink water and green tea.The body is well cleansed of harmful elements:
- slags;
- allergens;
- Toxins.
Keep in mind that the method is not safe.It is not recommended to stick to it for more than seven days.The maximum duration of a hunger strike is 3 days.We advise against using this technique.If you still decide, it is better to go on a hunger strike from the first day.The time without food boosts your metabolism.

The principle of a low-calorie diet is also restriction.The total nutritional value of the daily diet should not exceed 1500 kcal.Carbohydrates and fats should be consumed in minimal quantities.
Both methods are very difficult to maintain if you don't have good willpower.Therefore, we strongly recommend that you take a completely different approach.
How to eat right to lose weight at home?This is the question that might interest you.Only with a competent approach to diet planning will weight loss not be temporary.The kilograms will disappear gradually and continuously.
Basic principles of proper nutrition
By taking the right approach to designing your diet, you will make your body healthier every day.The weight disappears and strength and energy replace it.Diets and hunger strikes reduce weight, but after they end, the weight increases again (may even double).
It is wrong to eat only low-calorie foods.You just need to control the amount of food consumed and their proportion (to each other).
The key to success lies in a properly formulated and constantly followed diet.The third part of it should be animal proteins.Everything else is plant food.
Don't torture yourself.Avoid foods you don't like.Eat what you really enjoy (but with the right approach).The street is basically open to meat lovers.If prepared correctly (boiled or steamed) and consumed (with vegetables), you can lose weight well.
Do not stick to the calorie diet “mentioned in the books”.It is individual and depends on how much exercise a person does per day.Calculate it for your mass.

Avoid foods high in fat and glucose.To process them, the body has to use a lot of energy.
Strictly adhere to the rules for combining products.For example, you should not eat meat with carbohydrates and milk.
Drink constantly.Just not juices, but purified water.The amount is calculated as follows: 30 ml of water multiplied by the number of kilograms of your body weight.The calculated norm includes tea, soups and other liquids.Fifty percent of the obtained norm should come from water.
Diet is not just a combination of words.The body needs to know when it is being fed.The number of meals should not be less than 3.Have light snacks in between.
Eating with the right approach
Before we look at the menu, let's talk a little about the products.So how should you eat to lose weight at home?This is what we eat:
- First - meat.For example, pork and other fatty types are not considered “healthy” meat.Meat for proper nutrition is poultry, veal and beef.Sausages, sausages and smoked products are enemies whose consumption should be avoided.Fat and skin from pieces of meat must be removed.Braise with a little oil, cook with steam or water - that's how you should cook.
- Second - fish.It must be included in the diet more often than meat.The cooking method is the same.Types of fish should be low in fat (zander, pollock, cod, perch).
- Third - eggs.Eggs are a high-calorie product.But they have to be.The product is very difficult to digest.You are not allowed to eat more than 3 pieces (per week).To lose weight, it is better to include quail eggs in the diet, which are much healthier than chicken eggs.
- Fourth - dairy products.More precisely, fermented milk products (cottage cheese, fermented baked milk, kefir) are the basis of the diet.Sour cream and cream are allowed in minimal quantities (but rarely).
- Fifth – animal fats.We are talking about both butter and other fats.Fats are essential for the proper functioning of the body's systems.Five grams per day is enough.The body's needs are met and the process of weight loss becomes more effective.
- Sixth - vegetable oil.Try cooking without oil.But if the recipe calls for it, then let it be soy, olive, corn or sunflower.The best oil is cold pressed oil.For weight loss, it is best to cook in a water bath.
- Seventh - vegetables.You need to eat vegetables (cilantro, celery, green onions, dill), cabbage (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage), peppers, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, garlic.Only potatoes are not allowed.Even a large amount of the listed vegetables will not harm your figure.
- Eighth - fruits (berries).They are a source of vitamins.Dried fruits are also allowed.The healthiest fruits are those that grow in our climatic conditions.
- Ninth - cereals and pasta.What to eat to lose weight quickly?Which cereals?These are wheat, rice, millet and buckwheat.Noodles have to be hard.A portion of muesli (pasta) is 200 grams.
- Tenth - bread.The amount of bread per day is 30-40 grams. Instead of high-quality white bread, you should eat grain or bran bread.Eating baked goods is unacceptable during weight loss.You can only afford it in the maintenance phase and then in very small quantities.Be sure to pay attention to the timing of food intake (unhealthy foods should be consumed in the morning).
- Eleventh - salt.You need to salt your food a little less than usual.For taste it is better to use spices: pepper, nutmeg, marjoram, coriander, curry, oregano, cloves, lemon balm, ginger.
And finally on the subject of sugar.We rule it out completely.Sugar is an empty and completely useless source of calories.

- Eat a variety of foods.There is no monotony.
- During a reckoning week we eat more fish and meat.
- Alcohol is excluded.
- We don't eat preservatives.
- Instead of sweetened drinks, we drink mineral water.
- We always prepare fresh dishes.

- We don't eat too much.
Exercise and weight loss
Exercise speeds up the process of losing weight.The main thing is daily exercise.Don't torture yourself with hour-long training sessions;It is enough to spend 5-20 minutes on exercises.
Competent fitness trainers say that you must definitely adhere to the nutritional recommendations when training.Namely:
- A competent approach to losing weight requires that a person always gets enough sleep.Lack of sleep is perceived by the human brain in the same way as malnutrition.
- For a thin waist, eat plant-based foods for dinner.
- Don't eat right before bed.
Cardio exercises are a good stimulator for proper weight loss.They last an hour and a half.During this time, subcutaneous fat is converted into muscle mass.
Stay calm.A nervous state does not help you lose weight.
Always expand your nutritional horizons.The strongest and most famous athletes know almost everything about nutritional rules.Certainly more than any nutritionist.
If you follow the above recommendations, the process of losing weight sometimes takes a long time.What's up?Why is that?It turns out that when you work out, you need to know how to eat.
The maximum effect is achieved in the following cases:
- The food contains proteins and carbohydrates.
- Carbohydrates provide an energy boost for the brain and muscles during training.By consuming carbohydrates we help the body use energy and burn fat reserves.
- During exercise, proteins serve as amino acids for your muscles.The proteins do not release energy, but begin protein synthesis immediately after training.
- If the amount of fat in the diet is less than 3 grams.
- Fat significantly slows down food digestion and the functioning of an organ such as the stomach.If you put fatty foods on your plate before training, you will experience nausea and colic during training.
Before training you must eat:
- Omelette (white only) and oatmeal;
- Meat (turkey, chicken or just breast) with bread (just coarsely ground), rice;
- Beef steak (lean) and potatoes.
During meal times:
- Soup and salad in large portions should be eaten 2 hours before class.The food is digested within the allotted time and the stomach becomes empty.
- Porridge and cottage cheese – half an hour before training.
- If you want to not only reduce body fat but also build muscle, eat fruit with a protein drink before training.Reception time is half an hour before class.You need to eat fruits with a low glycemic index: strawberries, apples, pears.Drink - whey protein drink.
For better mobilization of fat from cells, drink strong green tea or coffee 30 minutes before training.Then a lot of fat and fewer amino acids, glycogen and glucose are burned.This causes you to feel tired later than usual during exercise.And after training you won't be plagued by headaches.The effects of strong tea (coffee) last about 2 hours.
You don't need to eat anything after training.The body is distracted by digesting food, and not by destroying fat deposits.If you feel sick from hunger, it is better to drink a glass of regular milk or a protein shake.
After training (after 20 minutes), the body actively absorbs carbohydrates and proteins.Recovery and muscle growth occur.Calories are not converted into fat mass.
After training it is better to drink liquid carbohydrates.For example grape or cranberry juice.Trainers also recommend replenishing the body with proteins.It would be better if it was a protein shake.You must drink it immediately after completing the lesson.Regular egg whites can replace the cocktail.You can also eat any protein-containing food.The main thing is that it is a small portion of a protein product (about the size of your palm).Milk, yogurt, fatty pork and cottage cheese are not the best options for post-workout nutrition.Eat chicken breasts (without skin), but not legs.
In addition, the following are excluded after training: chocolate products, tea, chocolate.The reason for this is that the drinks contain caffeine, which has a negative effect on insulin function.
Diploma!Train in the morning.Drink coffee (tea) before training.After class, take a break of 2 hours and drink coffee only after the specified time.
Now it is clear how to eat before and after training.What can you drink?The drinking regimen is as follows: before performing training exercises, be sure to drink water (1 glass);When exercising, drink in small sips after 20 minutes.
If your workout lasts an hour or more, drink special sports drinks.They are useful because their composition contains useful elements.It is allowed to drink freshly squeezed juices (only natural).

If you do not attach particular importance to drinking, there is a high probability that the workout will not be successful due to the lethargy of the body.
And something else.Don't just drink when you're thirsty.By the time you feel it, your body is already dehydrated.Why is this happening?Because of intensive training, the receptors in the throat and gastrointestinal tract become less sensitive.You have to drink constantly.
Bad symptoms include:
- Headache;
- thirsty;
- loss of appetite;
- Fatigue;
- dry lips;
- Irritability;
- dry mouth.
If you experience at least two of these symptoms, be sure to start drinking water immediately.If it is completely unbearable, stop the training sessions.
If you still can't lose weight, look at yourself from the outside and do an analysis.Maybe you don't understand how the human body works and therefore don't meet its needs properly.Or you think you're doing everything right, but you're not.They don't know what food groups exist and how they interact with each other.
Let's summarize.Losing weight at home is possible.It is enough to eat right and do physical activity every day.
