The comeback from gaining weight to losing weight: a true experience of losing 15 pounds in 2 months

Who hasn't been hit by the numbers on the scale yet? The moment of making the decision to change is often ordinary - it could be when you can't fasten your favorite jeans, or when you start panting like running a marathon after climbing three floors. What we're going to talk about this time is not some mystical weight loss method, but the real experience of losing 15 pounds on the scale in two months. 'Easy to slim physique' has never been a talent, but the result of every combination of choices.

1. Dietary adjustment is not synonymous with dieting

1. Protein first strategy

After increasing the protein ratio of each meal to 40%, it was found that the curse of hunger was actually broken. Boiled eggs, skinless chicken legs, and steamed fish meat are served alternately. For afternoon tea, sugar free Greek yogurt mixed with crushed nuts is served. For late night snacks, two slices of slow roasted beef jerky are served. Surprisingly, this way of eating is actually easier to stick to than in the past when it comes to eating boiled vegetables.

2. Intelligent Carbon Water Management

Completely cutting off the irritable feeling of carbon water. Anyone who has experienced it knows. Later, I learned to change the milled rice and white flour into coarse grain rice, sweet potatoes and oats. The most surprising thing was that I found the wonderful use of cauliflower rice - the satisfaction that fried eggs with cauliflower smashed by a cooking machine can actually eat egg Fried Rice. When having dinner at night, first eat enough protein and vegetables, and finally taste a few bites of rice instead of overeating.

3. Recognizing the assisting role of oil

Avocado mixed with shrimp, olive oil fried salmon, and other foods that sound "oily" actually make weight loss smoother. The key is to distinguish between good and bad fats, and a daily quota of 20 grams of nuts is like a reward mechanism for oneself.

2. The transformation of exercise from "deadly" to "dependent"

1. Find the dopamine switch [SEP]. People who force themselves to run but give up after three days later find happiness in dance class. Previously, twisting along with music could also cause the heart rate to soar to the fat burning range. Now, when you hear a specific playlist, your body automatically enters "exercise mode".

2. Fragmented motion wonders When watching TV, do a buttock bridge, and when the water boils, perform a deep squat. These two minute clips accumulate to be quite impressive. On the most exaggerated day, I managed to burn half of the calories from a hot pot meal through various' little actions'.

3. Establish physical memory

When I exercise four times a week for three consecutive weeks, I suddenly realize that one day I didn't exercise and my whole body was not feeling right. The transparency after exercise will form a positive feedback, which is more effective than any weight loss medication.

3. Indicators that are more interesting than a weight scale

1. Waist circumference surrenders before weight

One day, when I found that my belt had an extra hole, I was more excited than seeing my weight drop. The changes caused by the reduction of visceral fat are often first reflected in waist circumference data.

2. "Thank you letter" from the skin

After quitting late night snacks and high sugar drinks for two months, the stubborn silence on the forehead actually retreated on its own. Previously, the acne products I spent a lot of money on couldn't compete with the two liters of water I drink every day.

3. The feeling of physical improvement

Chasing the bus no longer makes one feel anxious and weak, and the luggage can be lifted onto the luggage rack by oneself. These daily small victories are more satisfying than "losing weight". The increase in muscle mass brings about an improvement in basal metabolism, which is the true "lying down slimming" artifact. Standing in front of the mirror, pinching the finally visible collarbone, I suddenly understood what "a healthy body is the best luxury" means. These 15 pounds of weight loss are not only fat, but also excuses for procrastination such as' starting tomorrow '. The hunger that you thought you couldn't endure will actually disappear after enduring for 20 minutes; Those moments of sweating are reshaping a lighter version of oneself. Starting now is always 24 hours earlier than starting tomorrow.
