I only realized after losing 13 pounds! The most effective weighing technique after dinner is surprisingly simple

Have you ever felt regretful when you collapsed on the sofa after dinner and suddenly touched the "swimming ring" around your waist while scrolling through your phone? Don't rush to blame yourself, in fact, many people's weight loss failures are due to the wrong way of opening the "golden three hours". Those who lose weight quickly have just mastered a few simple to incredible tricks.

1. Metabolic golden period after dinner

1. 30 minutes after a meal: Don't rush to sit down

Just after finishing a meal, blood sugar is soaring. Keeping standing or walking slowly at this time can help consume 12% -15% more blood sugar. You can clean up the dishes, tidy up the room, or stand and use your phone for a while. But remember not to exercise vigorously, otherwise it will affect digestion.

2. One hour after a meal: Activate brown fat

Doing some gentle exercise during this period can most activate the "fat burning expert" brown fat. Stand against the wall (with the back of the head, shoulder blades, hips, calves, and heels pressed against the wall at five points) for 10 minutes, or take a few deep breaths (inhale for 4 seconds - hold for 4 seconds - exhale for 6 seconds), which is comparable to jogging for 20 minutes.

3. 2 hours after meals: Seize the peak of body temperature

The human body reaches the peak of body temperature 2 hours after eating, during which the metabolic rate increases by about 10%. Soaking feet in water at around 40 ℃ for 15 minutes or applying a hot towel to the back of the neck can prolong the efficient metabolic state. Be careful not to overheat the water temperature, and do not exceed 20 minutes.

Two and Three Underestimated Weighing Actions

1. Draw a circle around the ankle

Lie down and lift your leg at a 90 degree angle to your body, and draw clockwise/counterclockwise circles with your toes 30 times each. This action can stimulate lymphatic circulation in the lower limbs and is particularly effective in eliminating swollen legs. Remember to stick your legs vertically against the wall for 10 minutes after finishing, for better results.

2. Abdominal Rubbing Technique

Place your hands on top of your belly button, gently massage clockwise for 36 circles, and then counterclockwise for another 36 circles. Be careful not to do it during menstruation, force The degree should be as gentle as a feather brushing past. If you persist for two weeks, you will find that your belly is no longer bulging like a balloon.

3. Tongue Exercise

Press the tip of the tongue firmly against the upper jaw for 10 seconds, then relax and repeat 20 times. This small movement can stimulate the secretion of thyroid hormones, and doing it three times a day can also improve the double chin. Office workers can do it while typing on the keyboard without affecting their image at all.

3. Taboos after dinner that are prone to stepping on lightning

1. Fruit trap

Do you think eating fruits is healthy? Eating high sugar fruits (such as mangoes and lychees) immediately after dinner is equivalent to feeding nutrients to fat cells. It is recommended to choose low GI fruits (strawberries, blueberries) and eat them 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals.

2. Misconceptions about Drinking Water

After meals, pouring water vigorously can dilute gastric juice and affect digestion. The correct practice is to drink slowly in small sips, not exceeding 200ml per hour. You can add slices of lemon or cucumber to increase metabolic activity, but people with poor kidney function should control the total amount.

3. Stay up late curse

Not sleeping after 23:00 can cause an increase in cortisol, a hormone that specifically directs the body to accumulate abdominal fat. Even if they sleep for 8 hours, people who go to bed early burn 5% more calories than those who stay up late.

4. Develop evening habits that are easy to slim down

1. Light adjustment

After 8pm, replace the overhead light with a warm light desk lamp and reduce the brightness by 30%. Research has found that blue light can inhibit the secretion of melatonin, and melatonin levels are positively correlated with the rate of fat breakdown.

2. Temperature Management

Set the room temperature to around 20 ℃ one hour before bedtime. A cool environment can encourage the body to actively burn brown fat to produce heat. People who are afraid of cold can wear a pair of thin socks, but do not cover them with too thick a blanket.

3. Odor suggestion

Drop 2 drops of grapefruit essential oil next to the pillow, which contains Nocardian components that can accelerate fat breakdown. People who are sensitive to odors can use lavender as a substitute, which can also help reduce stress eating. Those who always say 'drinking cold water makes you fat' may just have missed the rhythm of their body's metabolism. Remember, weight loss is not self punishment, but the art of learning to collaborate with the body. Let's start practicing these tips tonight, maybe tomorrow morning's weighing will surprise you!
