How to persist in skipping lunch

Persisting in skipping lunch can be achieved through adjusting dietary structure, gradually adapting, scientifically supplementing nutrition, establishing supervision mechanisms, and flexibly responding to special situations. This dietary pattern needs to be combined with individual health conditions to avoid blind implementation.

1. Adjust dietary structure:

Lunch should include high-quality protein such as fish and eggs, paired with compound carbohydrates such as brown rice and sufficient dietary fiber. Appropriately increase the intake of healthy fats such as nuts to prolong satiety for 4-6 hours. To avoid blood sugar fluctuations caused by refined sugar and fried foods, 200ml of sugar free yogurt can be supplemented 2 hours after meals to stabilize the gut microbiota.

2. Gradual adaptation:

Starting from postponing dinner time, reduce the frequency of evening meals once a week. In the initial stage, it is allowed to consume low sugar fruits or vegetable salads for transition, and after 2-3 weeks, completely cut off evening calorie intake. When hunger occurs during the adaptation period, drinking warm water or light tea can alleviate it. Adjusting the biological clock usually takes 21-28 days.

3. Scientific Nutritional supplementation:

It is necessary to consume 70% of the day's nutrients at once during lunchtime, with a focus on supplementing vitamin B and magnesium elements to prevent metabolic slowdown. It is recommended to pair with multivitamin supplements, and individuals with hypertension should monitor their sodium intake. Long term executors should have their blood routine and liver and kidney function indicators tested quarterly.

4. Establish a supervision mechanism:

Use a diet record app to track daily calorie gaps and join an online check-in community to supervise each other. Establish a phased reward mechanism, such as persisting in purchasing fitness equipment for 30 days. Office workers can prepare portable tea bags to replace their afternoon tea habit and avoid the herd mentality of colleagues during gatherings.

5. Flexible response to special situations:

Night shift people can adjust the "noon break" time to 6 hours after work, and pregnant or diabetes patients need to adjust the program under the guidance of doctors. When encountering social gatherings, prioritize choosing low calorie foods such as clear soup hot pot or sashimi, and resume the original plan the next day to avoid feeling frustrated due to breaking the rules.

It is recommended to maintain 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise daily during the period of skipping lunch, such as brisk walking or yoga, to avoid a decrease in basal metabolic rate. Drinking 300ml of warm water in the morning promotes intestinal peristalsis, and stretching for 10 minutes 2 hours before bedtime improves sleep quality. Regularly monitoring changes in body fat percentage is more meaningful than simply focusing on weight. If you experience persistent dizziness or palpitations, seek medical evaluation immediately. This model is not suitable for adolescents in the growth and development stage, patients with peptic ulcers, and thin individuals with a BMI below 18.5.
