5. Avoid simple carbohydrates such as sugar and white flour
Sugar and flour can cause your appetite to fluctuate rapidly, resulting in you consuming more calories throughout the day.
It’s important to watch your sugar intake and refined carbs when you are trying to lose weight. Switch to a low-sugar diet for a quick and safe way to lose weight.
You should also avoid highly processed foods such as pasta, bread and cereal. Eat whole grains, such as brown rice or oatmeal as much as you can (ideally with each meal). Healthy fats can be obtained from olive oil, flaxseed or walnut oil. Fruit juices contain simple sugars, even if they are generally low in sugar. Drink them in moderation and avoid them altogether.
6. Overeating is not recommended
Overeating is a common cause of weight gain that can be easily fixed. Overeating causes your body to go into fat-storage mode, instead of fat burning mode. You need to burn off more calories than you consume in order to get your body into fat burning mode.
This can be done by including enough protein and fats into your diet. You will feel fuller faster. Running or swimming can help you burn calories.
Healthy fats, protein, and vegetables, along with whole grains and whole grains can also help to keep your hunger at bay throughout the day, preventing you from craving junk food. Drink plenty of water. It helps digestion, prevents constipation and boosts your metabolism.
7. Include intermittent fasting
The intermittent fasting method (IF) has become a popular weight loss technique. Instead of eating three large meals a day, the basic idea is to eat during certain hours only and fast at other times.
You can fast by skipping your breakfast and lunch or eating only within a 8-hour time window. During these fasting times, you can drink tea and water, but not coffee, sugary juices, or soda. People who follow an IF plan tends to eat less and lose weight as a consequence.
Remember that intermittent fasting does not have to be long term. IF days may also improve your mood, making it easier to stick to your weight loss plan.
