How to eat if you want to lose weight?
The secret to rapid weight loss is something that many people are interested in. Do any of the following sound familiar? You don’t want to count calories, but you want to eat less. You feel like you’re overeating, and instead of looking for a permanent solution, you resort to periodic fasting. You skip breakfast and eat lunch and dinner. You pile your plate high at these meals. You want to eat healthily, but you also want to lose a few pounds to get in better shape. If you recognize yourself in this, then read on!
What should I eat if I want to lose weight?
One of the secrets to weight loss is good eating habits. You can read more about these in my article below: The basics of weight loss – How? What, when, and how much?
What should be the measure?
The main problem with losing weight is not that you don’t know what to eat and when. The main problem is actually moderation. Have you ever tried to eat in moderation? If so, how did you do it? What was the measure?
I would recommend two methods for moderation.
- Smaller plates and therefore smaller portions
- Calorie counting
For many people, switching from a large plate to a small plate can also work. Or they only take one serving instead of two. However, after a while, you can’t replace the smaller plate with an even smaller one, or take only half a spoonful. In the long run, I would recommend counting calories and paying conscious attention to eating several times a day. Let’s list these!
What kind of system do you need?
Think about eating several times a day (3 or 5). Why is it good to eat more often? On the one hand, because your body stores less. On the other hand, so that you don’t go hungry, because that doesn’t help you lose weight either.
Smaller portions more often. That’s one of the secrets. Let’s look at the others!
Dietary nutrition and calorie counting
Okay, so you eat several times a day and smaller portions. Is that enough to lose weight? Not quite.
A small portion means something different to a man who weighs 100 kg and is 180 cm tall than it does to a woman who weighs 50 kg and is 150 cm tall. That is why it is necessary to calculate individually what each person needs, and this is where calorie counting and dietary plans come into play.
Personalized diet
We look at the activity level of a person who weighs 100 kg and is 180 cm tall, and use a formula to calculate how many calories they need per day. We do the same for the woman in the example. She will have a lower number. We divide these calories into 3, but preferably 5 meals a day (3 is enough for some people). We add the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat) and our personalized diet is ready. It doesn’t seem complicated, and it isn’t. It’s just hard to stick to.
How will it get easier?
I know that many of you don’t want to count calories because it seems too complicated and you don’t have time for it. Counting calories is really only necessary at the beginning. It’s so you know what to stick to. After a few weeks, you’ll know how much is enough and how much is too much. It takes a few weeks to get used to it. You need to get into a routine. Otherwise, how would you know how many calories are in an apple, for example? At first, you’ll weigh it and check it two or three times. Then you’ll be able to do it at a glance. Counting calories is easy with calorie-counting apps. No need to keep track in a notebook! Use smart apps that do the counting for you. These apps break down your meals so you can see how much you’ve eaten and how much you can still eat.
So first, you need to get into the habit of eating smaller portions and knowing what a smaller portion is for you. Then comes the scary part: consistency.
Regularity
It’s no use knowing everything if you can’t stick to it, because everything else is more important than eating healthily and following a diet. If your life depended on it, would you stick to it? Probably yes. Think about it!
The 80-20 rule
Sometimes you can deviate from the plan. There are days when you can’t eat regularly, even if you really want to. The important thing is to always return to what has already worked. For me, the 80-20 rule means eating well 80% of the time and allowing ourselves to deviate 20% of the time.
What is the secret to rapid weight loss?
Maybe smaller plates? Or counting calories? Try it and do it regularly. Probably all of them will work if you can stick to them. Can you stick to them quickly? Can you learn to eat well quickly? I don’t think anyone can do that in a few days. There’s no such thing as quick weight loss. It takes time for habits to become ingrained, and it takes time for your body to adjust to weight loss. If you know why you’re doing it, how to do it right, and you do it regularly, it will work after a while. But not quickly, because moderation is not easy. I’ve put together a whole lifestyle change package about this. It includes calorie counting, the formula for it, a diet plan, and recipes. I’ve received a lot of positive feedback on it. It has worked for many people. It can work for you too. Check it out here or click on the image below: >> Lifestyle Change Package
