"Combat Diets" Are Doomed… 5 Tips for Staying Slim for Longer

Many people list "diet" and "lose weight" as their top New Year's resolutions. Indeed, many people begin dieting on January 1st. However, this strategy of fighting for weight loss is often doomed to failure, as it's difficult to sustain. Maintaining weight loss for six months or more is considered a "successful diet." Let's explore sustainable diet methods that can be easily implemented into daily life.

 

▷Change the cooking method slightly

 

Reducing the frequency with which you eat fattening foods or changing the way you cook them can help. This is how it works. Limit snacking to no more than three times a week and flour-based foods like ramen to no more than once every two to three days. Meat, however, is rich in essential nutrients like protein, so it shouldn't be avoided at all costs. Consider changing your cooking method, such as eating raw meat instead of seasoned meat and grilling it on a griddle instead of a frying pan to allow the fat to drain away.

▷Change the order in which you eat food

 

hmm The order of eating food is high in dietary fiber. Food (vegetables, fruits) → protein foods (beans, meat, fish) → carbohydrate foods (grains) ) changes the order. If you eat dietary fiber, which takes a long time to digest, first, protein and carbohydrates are absorbed slowly, preventing a significant rise in blood sugar. If blood sugar does rise, it won't be used for energy and will be converted to fat. It's especially effective in preventing carbohydrate intake, which significantly increases blood sugar.

 

▷Do not eat food after dinner

 

Avoid eating late at night 3 hours before bedtime. Eating after dinner is particularly likely to lead to weight gain. This is because insulin, a hormone that breaks down sugar, is actively secreted in the morning but less so at night. Eating a late-night snack prevents insulin from breaking down glucose quickly, so the excess glucose is stored as fat.

 

Avoid extreme diets

 

Avoid extreme diets that involve eating only certain foods or completely eliminating them. For example, eating only chicken breast for every meal or completely avoiding wheat is not a good diet. It's difficult to sustain for more than two or three months, and it can prevent your body from consuming essential nutrients. The stress of not being able to eat the foods you want can actually lead to weight gain. Stress triggers the release of the hormone cortisol, which hinders weight loss and accumulates visceral fat. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to cortisol can lead to increased belly fat.

 

▷Don't overwork yourself with exercise in the early stages

 

Exercise is absolutely necessary during a diet, usually after 2-3 months of dieting, when 5-7% of body weight has been lost. From this point on, your weight will plateau, and you need to increase your activity level through exercise to burn off the remaining calories. However, most people start dieting and rapidly increase their exercise, only to neglect it when it's really needed. If you don't have the confidence to exercise consistently, it's best to lose weight solely through diet control for the first 1-2 months, and then begin exercising in earnest in the 3-4th month, when your weight begins to plateau.
