Everyone is trying to lose weight, but the sweltering summer is over, and now it's autumn. Autumn's cool weather makes it a great season for weight loss. Many people think that losing weight always means dieting, but is that really the case? Of course not. Losing weight not only means eating, but also eating well. Below, I'll introduce what to eat to lose weight.
Weight loss is an eternal topic for women. Losing weight requires constantly trying different methods that suit you. So how can you lose weight without dieting? Below, we'll introduce some tips for women to lose weight without dieting.
1. Eat better, spend less
We seem to have a persistent misconception about consumption: the better we eat, the more we spend. So, whenever we want to treat ourselves to a healthy and nutritious meal, we feel guilty about straining our wallets. Actually, if you stop buying junk food, say goodbye to fast food, and abandon snacks like chips and soda, and instead use truly fresh, nutritious ingredients to prepare your daily meals, you'll find that you can actually spend a lot more on "good food"—eating well without being expensive! Make a plan based on your usual junk food spending, cross out unhealthy foods, and add some healthy food sources. For example, calculate how much it would cost to drink a cup of instant coffee or takeout coffee every day for a year. If that money could buy a decent coffee machine and enough coffee beans, why waste it on those monotonous "sweet, milky coffees"?
Second, for dessert lovers, the "three bites" principle is essential.
Don't be secretly pleased; this doesn't mean you can eat as much as you want. It means "you can eat, but only three bites!" This healthy tip is a secret weapon for many dessert lovers. When you see a fragrant cheesecake, chocolate pudding, or caramel tart, don't shy away in tears. Instead, confidently take three bites! Don't wolf them down; savor their sweet and delicate texture, let the sweetness bloom in your mouth, and wait for the aftertaste to completely disappear before starting the next bite's flavor journey.
If you take three bites carefully like this and then resolutely save them for the next day, you will find that not only will your appetite be satisfied, but your belly fat will also gradually disappear, easily turning sweets into "zero-stress" foods.
III. Pre-dinner drinks: How to drink them
Chinese people have also developed the habit of drinking an aperitif, especially when trying Western food. They often order an aperitif before the main course, with red wine, champagne, and fruit cocktails being popular choices. However, drinking is just as important as eating, and if not done carefully, it can lead to a "calorie disaster," and aperitifs are one such example.
When your stomach is empty, alcohol quickly enters the bloodstream, affecting the brain's control over the digestive system and creating the urge to eat a lot. What could have been a light, healthy dinner can turn into a feast after just one glass of alcohol. So, if you're planning to drink with your dinner tonight, consider ordering your food first and serving the wine with your meal—a dry red wine with less sugar is better than a fruity cocktail!
Fourth, measure it to have a clear understanding of the sugar content.
Excessive sugar intake is a major reason why we are getting fatter and fatter, but because it is so common and insignificant, we can easily exceed the recommended intake without realizing it. How can we make our bodies more aware of sugar? Find a big bowl!
According to statistics, the average person consumes about 35 spoonfuls of sugar per day. You can use a regular teaspoon as a unit of measurement; scoop 35 spoonfuls of sugar into a bowl and see how much that is. Believe me, you'll be amazed! Now imagine pouring that entire bowl of sugar into your stomach. The next time you taste sweetness, you'll definitely remember that bowl of white sugar, and this image will stop you from indulging in sweets without restraint. Having a sugar alarm in your brain is more effective than anything else!
