Work is too tiring and you just want to stay home, but you're worried about gaining weight. Don't worry, a few simple tips will help you stay home every day without getting fat.
1. Drink more tea
When people are idle, they subconsciously want to eat. Don't forget to drink a cup of tea or stand up and relax your limbs at this time to eliminate the desire to eat. Don't just grab something to eat.
2. Working while standing
When doing chores while standing, such as ironing, cooking, or arranging flowers, try spreading your legs and standing upright; this is a form of exercise. Additionally, when cleaning indoors, if you're only holding a broom, mop, or vacuum cleaner, don't just move your arms; engage your whole body, including your ankles, hips, and knees. When reaching for something high, stand on your tiptoes and stretch your entire body as much as possible to strengthen your thigh, calf, and gluteal muscles.
3. Choose the right snacks
People tend to spend the most time in front of the TV on weekends, making it easy to snack absentmindedly while watching. This can lead to unknowingly consuming extra food and increasing calorie intake. Therefore, it's best to keep snacks to a minimum on the coffee table. Even if you must have a snack, it's best to avoid high-calorie treats like desserts and peanuts. Instead, opt for smaller amounts of sunflower seeds and preserved plums.
4. Pay attention to breakfast
It's even more important to eat breakfast on weekends. Skipping breakfast will result in feeling twice as hungry at lunch and dinner, leading to wolfing down food and stimulating absorption. A hearty breakfast will help you control your food intake throughout the day. So, even if you stay up late watching TV or get up late on weekends, remember to eat a nutritious breakfast!
5. Do not drink beverages.
Try to avoid sugary drinks, packaged fruit juices, and beer, as these are high in calories and will turn into fat, so be especially careful.
6. Try a weekend intestinal cleansing fast.
Many people consume excessive amounts of fat and carbohydrates in their daily diet. Fasting once every two months on a weekend allows the digestive system to rest. Drinking yogurt and fruit/vegetable juices during the fast can replenish protein and vitamins. Short-term fasting not only avoids nutritional imbalances but can also lead to a more balanced intake of nutrients during those two weeks.
However, remember to adjust your weekend diet based on your week's eating habits. For example, if you had many social engagements and ate a lot of oily food from Monday to Friday, then you should eat lighter meals on the weekend. Conversely, if you rushed through your meals from Monday to Friday due to work, then you should treat yourself to more nutritious food on the weekend. Also, be mindful of your own health; if you have a serious illness or stomach discomfort, don't be too hard on yourself.
Here's a recommended weekend meal plan from experts:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with whole wheat bread (or soy milk with whole wheat bread or buckwheat noodles).
Lunch: Stir-fried celery, carrots, and wood ear mushrooms with shredded pork; Chinese cabbage, glass noodles, and gluten stew. If you don't have a good appetite, you can have porridge with rice noodle rolls and fried noodles, or some dumplings or wontons with vegetables.
Dinner: Carrot and corn rib soup, apple and pork heart soup, red and green bean soup, snow fungus, snow pear and lean pork soup.
