Agree, getting the perfect figure for the new year is the dream of each of us. However, we often start thinking about how to lose weight just a few weeks before the expected holiday. This commitment is commendable, but it can have a negative impact on health. Therefore, we propose to start preparing now. Two months is a great time to lose a few pounds without harming your body. Maria Sokolova, ambassador of the Grow Food healthy food delivery service, will tell you how to properly plan the process of losing weight.
Where to begin?
Here we will not reveal any innovative methods of losing weight, but simply recall that the secret of an ideal figure is built on three basic principles: proper nutrition, regular exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We have been familiar with these rules for a very long time, however, it is always very difficult to follow them. What can really help you stay on track is strong motivation. First, think: why would you like to lose weight for the New Year? For a perfect new holiday dress? Or to start the year feeling confident and beautiful? Or maybe you are just planning a big New Year's feast, and in order not to gain even more extra pounds, you want to lose weight now?
In any case, it is important to understand for what purpose you are planning to start the process of losing weight, because when you know what exactly you are striving for, it becomes much easier to follow a proper diet and exercise regimen.
How to eat?
Today there are hundreds, if not thousands, of different diets. This is the famous Ducan's diet, and buckwheat, and kefir, alkaline, carbon, and attention, chocolate! It is important to understand that if, in principle, you rarely eat kefir and dairy products and love, for example, meat, then in a few days you will not be able to overpower your body and switch from meat to sour milk, because due to habit you will always want something, what you gave up. Therefore, choose a diet that is very close to your preferences so that it does not deprive you of those foods that you are used to. Allow yourself to eat sweets, but in small doses. If you cannot live a day without meat, do not give up on it, just use it boiled without additives in the form of sauces and gravy. If you do not have time to think daily about what to cook,pay attention to healthy food delivery services. Grow Food, for example, has several food lines that are designed for different purposes: for weight loss, for the fastest weight loss, for keeping fit and functional training, etc.
Which workouts should you give preference to?
When the diet is adjusted, the next thing to look for is sports. During a diet, going to workouts is very difficult, because the body is already subject to stress. However, you need to overcome your reluctance and be sure to include sports in your schedule. What are the best options?
Group training
It is much more interesting to study in a group than alone, here you can find like-minded people and share your results, as well as just have fun. You can sign up for Pilates, aerobics, shaping or dancing, or for a specialized weight loss program like Body Sculpt. The editor-in-chief of BeautyHack told here about her experience in bootcamping.
Home workouts with video tutorials
In this case, you need to understand that you are able to devote several hours a week to training at home. Finding video tutorials today is not difficult at all - the main thing is to observe the regime. Do you have an exercise bike or treadmill at home? Then quickly dust them off and start training! 30 simple weight loss exercises can be found here.
EMS training
If you have a limited time and do not work out for an hour several times a week, pay attention to EMS training. Their effect is that you need to practice in a special suit with sensors that forcefully contract your muscles using electrical impulses. One workout lasts only 20 minutes, and at the same time 90% of the muscles of the body are worked out in such a small amount of time. After such training, it seems that you have spent several hours in the gym.
What else?
In addition to proper nutrition and regular exercise, it is important to change your routine and lifestyle in general. Ideally, it is worth canceling all bad habits, be it smoking, alcohol or the constant "freeze" on the phone. To make the body feel vigorous, observe the sleep schedule - go to bed no later than midnight, get up no later than 8 am. And do not forget to devote your free time to walks in the fresh air, and also set aside a couple of minutes for meditation. With such a lifestyle, extra pounds will go away for the New Year holidays without difficulty, and what is even more pleasant, they will not return later.
