Oh, that extra weight! Oh, those hateful pounds! How long and long we have been fighting with them unequal ... At the same time, most of us know the principles of healthy eating and lifestyle. But, unfortunately, in practice, all of us still believe in miracles, we hope for the existence of magic tablets or fast miraculous diets. That's only when we are looking for the fastest way to lose weight, do not forget that it should also be effective. It is important not just to quickly lose weight, but also to achieve stability - kilograms should not return. Unfortunately, most mono-diets are ineffective. We have severely limited ourselves in food for several days, or even weeks. But after we return to the normal diet, the weight loss is also returned, often leading with them "prisoners". Therefore, a victory in a war with excess weight can only be achieved if one follows a clear strategy. 
Strategy and tactics
In fact, in the strategy of combating obesity, there is nothing complicated. Here are its main rules:
- More Healthy and Proper Foodmust become fruits, vegetables and protein products. Choosing meat or fish, you should prefer low-fat varieties. Dishes are best cooked steamed, stewed or boiled. Do not get carried away with spicy seasonings - they kindle appetite. Refills to ready meals can serve lemon juice, various spices, as well as natural yogurt.
- Restriction of harmful products Disclaimsweets - buns, cakes, cookies, sweets and other "buns", as well as from sweet fizzy drinks. Of course, it is not easy to completely get rid of cravings for sweets. But you can resort to cunning and replace harmful products with more sparing - dried fruits, honey, bitter chocolate. Try to reduce salt intake. The fact is that the salt retains the liquid. And this in turn leads to puffiness. This salty food increases appetite, which means you will be much more than you need. Most nutritionists advise you to salt already prepared meals, thereby avoiding the excess of salt.
- Cut your usual portions.eyes - replace the usual plates with smaller ones. Another trick is also advised - there are all dishes with a small spoon. So you can prevent overeating. A portion of meat, chicken or fish should not be more than a deck of cards. Ideally, the total amount of food per meal should not exceed 250 ml - this is the capacity of our stomach.
- Unloading days are faithful helpersbe kefir, curd or apple days. Recently, the unloading of tea with milk has become very popular. Just take 1-1.5 liters of skim milk, bring it to a boil and brew 2-3 tablespoons of natural green tea. This drink significantly lowers the appetite, so you will hardly feel hunger. But most importantly - do not overdo it. It is not necessary to spend unloading days more than once a week, since after several days of "deprivations" there is a high probability of frustration and overeating.
- There is water all around. Drink as much liquid as possible. Give preference to pure, mineral non-carbonated water and herbal teas. Forget the sweet fizzy drinks. Give up alcohol. In addition to the fact that most alcoholic beverages are caloric, they also lead to an uncontrolled increase in appetite and, as a result, to overeating.
- Movement - not only life, but also a slim figureAttend classes with fitness, aerobics or dancing. If there is no such possibility, then just give up the elevator and escalator. Pass an extra stop on foot. Walk more, choose active kinds of rest and entertainments - cycling, swimming, skating or skiing.
- 4 hours before sleep, mouth to lock During sleeprest not only we, but also our stomach. Therefore, food eaten before going to bed, will not be digested by the body, and will be deposited in fat. If it is very difficult for you to go to bed on an empty stomach, then 2 hours before you go to bed, drink a glass of kefir or eat a little fat-free cottage cheese.
- Keep a diary of everything you recordate for the current day. Including do not forget about snacks and drinks. Write down what time you were eating and when you woke up and went to bed. Also note physical activity. What kind of sports did you do and how much time did you spend on it? Once a week, record your weight and volume. This will help you better control the process of fighting excess weight.
- It's very important not to scoldthemselves for errors, and analyze what situations lead to overeating. Try to avoid such situations. Encourage yourself to lose weight, for example, a long-awaited purchase. Only let it not be a cake, but a new outfit or, for example, a trip to the theater.
- Enlist the support of your loved onesexcess weight will be easier if you have associates. Convince your loved ones of the seriousness of their intentions to get rid of extra pounds, then they will definitely support you. But colleagues should not be informed about their intention to lose weight. This does not always cause the right reaction, and many will try to convince you. Observing these simple rules, you can easily win in a difficult struggle against excess weight.
