The habit is the second nature, and it is often the habit to blame for the fact that "nature" is thick, does not fit into a new dress and does not get out of the refrigerator. And the insidiousness of some habits is also in the fact that we do not consider them harmful to the figure, but, on the contrary, we include them in a strict diet for weight loss and we firmly believe that they will definitely lead to an ideal weight. What hidden and obvious habits have to do with excess kilograms, and how to get rid of those and others?
Uncontrolled watching TV and video
This overwhelming majority of fat people suffer from this harmful habit. The 24-hour or predominant daytime viewing of movies, TV programs and talk shows is not enough to cause a brutal appetite, so it also takes away precious hours of sleep, during which fat is burned. There are studies according to which people who sleep five hours a day have twice the fat reserves on their stomachs than those who sleep for 8 hours. Other studies prove that reducing the viewing of television products by 50% minus an additional 120 calories per day. And this, for a minute, five and a half kilograms a year. New habit: Get yourself an iron habit of going to bed after 22-23 hours without a TV company and any electronic gadgets. 7-8 hours of night sleep - the norm for burning fat.
Buying low-fat products
In foods that are low in fat, the absence of dangerous calories is often compensated by sugar and chemicals that make food attractive to taste buds and are taken to the top of mass consumption. In addition, some low-fat products do not allow the body to process and metabolize useful substances without fats. A new habit: Accustom yourself not to buy products, the fat content of which is reduced to zero. The products should be fat, but in the side of the senses.
Too fast absorption of food
Many people know that the stomach signals to the brain about its satiety in only 20 minutes, but they do not get up from the table with a slight sense of hunger. And in vain! Of course, this requires some effort of will, but, according to the American Dietetic Association, slow food intake with slow chewing not only allows you to feel satiety in time, but also eat 66 calories less at one meal. New habit: Having acquired the habit of chewing slowly, you will not average 9 kilograms of excess weight per year. Eat consciously! Think about the process of eating, do not entertain yourself with films or conversations, mentally observe at what pace you chew, and stop eating, being slightly hungry.
Snacks for the company
Most people, both at home and at work, have developed a certain schedule of the main meal taking into account family habits or working conditions. However, it often happens that there are snacks between the planned breaks for breakfast, lunch and dinner, for example, on the occasion of unexpectedly unexpected guests, days of birth of colleagues or the treatment of sweets with tea on a full stomach. That's so imperceptibly and pleasantly on the waist and superfluous kilograms are superimposed. A new habit: Learn to say "no" to colleagues, family members and friends, tempting you snacks after the main meal.
Spontaneous nutrition
Sometimes it happens that a full useful food intake (for example, soup and fish with vegetables), we are easily changed for unhealthy snacks (pizza, snacks, french fries) under the onset of stress, a heavy day or lack of time. Of course, every time we vow ourselves that tomorrow, as planned, the stomach will receive its full meal (breakfast or dinner). Does this happen only occasionally? Maybe. But do not you think that the cases have become too frequent? New habit: Train yourself to keep a diary of nutrition. It will help you keep track of the breakdowns in the diet and control what and when you put in your mouth. The picture of eating is very well-formed, and you will know exactly where your thick legs come from.
Poor lighting and low air temperature
Scientists have proven that in poor lighting and cold air, the body requires more food than in comfortable conditions. At the same time, they call the norm a temperature of 23 ° C, an illumination of 500 lux. If you are used to other light and temperature modes of the rooms where you spend most of the time, it's worth considering. A new habit: Make sure that you have enough heat and light at home, and always have spare warm clothes at work and raise the issue of lighting and comfortable temperature before the leadership if they are not enough.
Products in stock
Due to lack of time, fear that there is not enough food, profitable shares or notorious laziness, we often buy more food than we can eat. You do not want to use stale clothes, but it's a pity to throw it all away. So you have to quickly eat up salads and cakes, and from the remnants of sausages and cheese prepare delicious pizza or sandwiches. Good, of course, will not be lost, but the figure is easy. New habit: Get in the habit of going to the grocery store, writing a list of necessary purchases. If you find it difficult to follow the measure - prescribe next to the products number of pieces, grams and kilograms. You should not have enough food, and you'll go back to the store again, than you have to eat too much.
Large plates
The food in the big dish is "lost" and the brain sends us a signal: "SOS! Too small portion! "But in a small bowl, any serving will seem great. Nutritionists say that the optimal diameter of the plate is 20-24 centimeters. Such sizes have a dessert and pirozhka plates. An important role is played by the color of the dishes. Gray, blue and violet color does not contribute to appetite. Excite - red and orange; intensify the feeling of hunger - light green, pistachio and olive. New habit: Reconsider the size and colors of your dishes, and accustom yourself to serving the table with small table objects, the color of which will not excite an already appetizing appetite.
