1. Drink plenty of water, especially when there is little time left before the next meal. Most likely, when you are about to eat, the portion will be more modest, because the place in your stomach is already partially taken up. Drink water throughout the day: it promotes proper metabolism and improves bowel function.
2. Try to eat so that you get more calories in the morning, and vice versa in the afternoon and evening. Calories gained in the morning will be expended during the day and will not be deposited on the stomach and sides.
3. Think over your physical activity. There is no opportunity or laziness to go in for sports – give up the bus ride and walk to the metro, climb the stairs on your own, and not in the elevator. Believe me, in a month you will find that not only have you lost weight, your body has tightened and your muscles have become more elastic.
4. Increase the amount of healthy carbohydrates in the diet: eat more raw vegetables and fruits, do not deny yourself meat and fish, but combine them with fresh salads, not potatoes or rice. Eat bread, but only with wholemeal flour and not half a loaf a day.
5. Eliminate sugary and carbonated drinks, chips and any fast food and canned food.
6. Try to eat six to seven times a day. The last meal should be no later than three hours before bedtime. If you feel an acute attack of hunger, drink a glass of kefir or eat yogurt.
7. Reduce the amount of food in one meal. After a while, the stomach will shrink and you will feel that you do not need much food to be satiated. Remember, any serving should fit in the palm of your hand.
