Tips for healthy weight loss

Breakfast is mandatory!

In accordance with the metabolic needs of our body and, as well as for the proper secretion of hormones and the stimulation of the enzyme for the breaking down fat, breakfast must not be skipped .Best time for breakfast is between 8 and 9 o’clock in the morning. In this way, the body begins proper consumption of fat reserves in the body, and with this morning stimulation spending of fat in the body takes place throughout the day. If you skip breakfast or the first meal postpone until the afternoon hours, the body creates a defense mechanism, and then the fat, instead of being exploited as a major source of energy for all organs (heart, lungs, brain, muscles …), deposit, settle and preserve for „a rainy day“. The body is in „fear“ of running out of food, and instead breaking down fat begins to break down the proteins. In a restrictive diets for a „quick“ weight loss, diets to reduce the number of meals and amount of food, weight loss is only illusion. Therefore, with the termination of the diet and re-entering food in the same amount and composition as before diet, weight is quickly gaining back, which is known as the Yo-Yo effect. Breakfast has to be balanced. It should contain enough calories to meet the needs of the organism.

Break in between meals

Between two meals you need to take a break from 3 to 4 hours. In this time period all the nutrients ingested in the previous meal will be used.

Break for lunch between 1pm and 3pm

The period between 1pm and 3pm is reserved for lunch. Lunch should include a diverse nutrition. If you are employed or studying it is a little harder to have a healthy lunch at any time, but make sure you find a place that can provide such a diet or simply bring from home.

Dinner shouldn't be just before bedtime

Have dinner at least 2 to 3 hours before going to bed. Dinner shouldn’t consist of greasy food which is difficult to digest. Try to have fruit, fish or a salad for dinner.

Sweets?

You should consider yourself lucky if fan of sweets, but … most of love to have something sweet after meal. If you have a „sweet tooth“ or just cannot resist sweets, eat them in the afternoon (between 4pm and 7pm). Although daily consumption of sweets it is not recommended , in this period the simple sugars are exploited in the best way and have less influence on the formation of fat deposits.

Careful with the drinks!

Pay attention and reduce your intake of alcohol, soft drinks and artificially sweetened soft drinks. Squeeze fresh fruits, natural juices, herbal teas. The best would be to consume plenty of water.

Do not overeat!

It is recommended that during the day you have several smaller instead of 2 or 3 large meals. The brain takes about 15 minutes to process the information that the organism had enough food and that it is full. If you feel that your stomach hurts after eating, it means that you have entered significantly more food than you need. Share meals into 4-5 smaller meals (3 main and 2 snacks) and you will be full, and in the meanwhile you will be contributing to weight loss.

Exercise

Although this is the part that that is generally hardest for us, try to get some exercises. This doesn’t mean that you should go to the gym and have exhausting trainings. You can do the little things:

  • Walk more often
  • Exit the bus one station early and walk home
  • Use stairs instead of the elevator
  • Go cycling
  • Go power-walking
