ENB- Wondering how to lose weight in a week? Here are some simple tips to follow at home to lose weight in a week.
1. Set A Realistic Goal
Yes, goals are necessary to motivate yourself to lose weight. But while setting goals, you must be realistic. Unrealistic goals can only be deterrents in your quest for weight loss.
2. Set A Time
Reinvent yourself as a slow eater. Cherish the food you are eating. Set a timer for 20 minutes, and ensure you are spending each minute savoring the dish before you. Mindful eating and chewing well can help in losing weight (3). Hogging on your food can only lead to overeating, as your stomach doesn’t have the time to tell your brain that it is full.
3. Reduce Your Portions
It is always important to check what is there on your plate – quality as well as quantity. Portion control is not only a good practice to lose weight, but it also reduces excessive energy intake (4). Cut the portions in half and ensure you are choosing smaller portions.
4. Don’t Eat In Front Of The Television
Merging television time with your dining time can lead to mindless eating. You tend to focus on what is happening on the television screen and become unaware of what is going on inside your mouth and stomach. Ultimately, you end up overeating.
5. Eat Cautiously
You must start eating before you feel too hungry and stop before you are full. This is because when we starve, we tend to eat more than we actually should. This is the reason people who starve themselves to lose weight only end up gaining more. Also remember to eat slowly and not when you are starving. Also, remember to end your meal just before you are about to be satisfied.
6. Get Good Sleep
Your sleeping patterns have a lot to do with your weight. Lack of adequate sleep can also lead to weight gain.
