I’ll tell you right away, you should not hope for special diets “fast weight loss” or grueling workouts. Such actions will only signal your body to store as much fat as possible. After all, this is how the response to stress works, human systems need to be sure that tomorrow they will be where to get energy and building material from.

With just three simple steps, you can get in shape without harming your health.

Reduce the amount of carbohydrates in your diet

Abandoning fast carbohydrates in favor of proteins and fats will allow you to be satiated faster and stay satiated longer. Eliminate baked goods, flour products, potatoes and yams, sweets and confectionery, plenty of fruit (no grapes, persimmons, melons, bananas) for the duration of the diet.

Try to eat at home – buy the right amount of food for two weeks, prepare enough food for a certain amount of time, eat what you have prepared.

Great winter dishes – stews, roasts (use diet meat – turkey, rabbit, beef), sprouts, onions, mushrooms, you can add beans. To speed up metabolism, add spices – turmeric, pepper, zira, ginger.

Refuse alcohol, tea and coffee for this period. These drinks can retain fluid, leading to edema.

Establish bowel function

This is not always a quick process, but even in two weeks it is possible to achieve results. The better the intestinal walls absorb beneficial micronutrients, the less the body will have the need to make fat “stores”.

Probiotics (live microorganisms) are best for this purpose. To date, it is worth giving preference to those that, in addition to the main action – restoration of intestinal microflora, also have additional benefits.

Among them – opposing the process of glycation (sugaring of proteins of the body) and the accumulation of harmful atherogenic cholesterol.

Increase daily physical activity

The main thing is not to go to the extreme and do not start running 5 km every day and do strength training. This way you will not achieve anything and will rather gain weight.

If your normal life flows at a moderate pace, just add an extra walk, some fitness or yoga.

The important rule is don’t create stress! Anything you do actively should energize you rather than exhaust you.

Following these three rules will give you predictable, sustainable results in getting your body in shape. In addition, I would recommend to keep a drinking regimen.

When losing weight, it will be about 3.5 liters per day for men and 2.5 liters for women. Water should be clean, warm and without gas.
