Increased activity and adequate sleep help
There is no special secret to losing weight. It is fundamental to exercise and improve your lifestyle, including your eating habits. Experts say, “It is better to fix bad habits than to try an unreasonable diet that is difficult to maintain steadily.” “If you increase your daily calorie consumption, you can realize both health and weight loss.”
In fact, it is difficult to lose weight just by exercising. For example, a person weighing 70 kg needs to walk for regarding 3 hours to burn 800 calories. Experts say, “In addition to exercise, there is a way to burn 1000 calories a day with just a few lifestyle changes.” American health and medical media ‘Healthline.com’ introduced a simple way to consume 1000 calories a day.
△ Reduce the amount of breakfast and increase activities in daily life
The formula for losing weight is to follow the principle of ‘eating a little lighter, moving the body more vigorously’. Koreans like a meal consisting of warm soup, rice, and side dishes in the morning. You can also have a Western-style breakfast with fried eggs, bacon, and white bread. Even a small reduction in the amount of such a hearty breakfast will start burning calories.
Reduce soup intake, eat mixed grains instead of rice, and replace white bread with whole grain bread. If your stomach is empty, fill it with vegetables and fruits. Also, rather than always putting necessary items within reach, put them at a distance where you have to stand up and walk to pick them up, and increase your body movement. It is possible to consume 1000 calories a day just by making this habit a habit.
△ Adequate sleep
Studies have shown that if you sleep less than 5 hours a night or more than 10 hours, you are more likely to gain weight. If you do not keep proper sleep time, fat cells change in an easy way to gain weight, increasing the risk of obesity or diabetes.
Another study found that the temperature of the room while sleeping is also related to body weight. When the research team asked participants to sleep with the room temperature maintained at either 19 degrees or 24 degrees, the participants who kept the room temperature at 19 degrees lost more weight following a year.
The mediterranean diet
The Mediterranean diet is well known as a representative diet that helps with health and weight loss. You don’t have to think of a special menu just because you’re eating a Mediterranean meal. In the morning when it is burdensome to eat rice, mix fruit or nuts with yogurt (yoghurt), and eat a lot of fish and vegetables instead of meat at lunch or dinner.
Reduce the use of dressing and salt
Even if you eat a lot of vegetables for your diet, there are things to be aware of. It is just an additive such as dressing or salt. When you eat a vegetable salad, pouring enough dressing on the bottom of the plate will make it difficult to lose weight. Just 2 tablespoons of dressing is enough for a salad plate. You can induce weight loss simply by reducing the amount of dressing or salt by half.
