Do you want to lose weight ? To find out what reflexes to adopt now that can make a difference… Follow the wise advice of Alexia Mouyal and Carla Abbou, dieticians. They give you their advice to lose weight quickly while maintaining the results over the long term!
Balance your diet to lose weight effectively…
To lose weight effectively, it is therefore recommended to avoid all overly restrictive slimming diets, which will not work in the long term… “Diets necessarily go through deprivation, this will automatically create a state of internal stress which will increase the need to eat. “. Explains Alexia Mouyal.
Indeed, the very principle of the diet, as the specialist reminds us, is therefore to make efforts for a given time… However, afterwards, as soon as we let go of some ballast…. *The risk is that the body no longer follows these restrictions and quickly returns to its pre-diet weight.
“If you go on a diet that is too strict, it can quickly lead to a feeling of deprivation, a decrease in motivation and therefore abandonment”. So alert the specialist.
So you have to rebalance your diet! Adopting a balanced and varied diet will now allow your body to have everything it needs to function well.
The golden rules to follow!
To lose weight easily, you must:
- Eat more fresh fruit
- Stay hydrated throughout the day
- Banning ultra-processed foods and cooking only raw foods to control what you put on your plate
- Limit your consumption of salt and sugars
- Balance each meal, including a portion of protein (animal protein or vegetable protein if you follow a vegetarian diet), a portion of starchy foods and a portion of vegetables
“To prevent bad habits from setting in and taking over the efforts made. It is generally advised to adopt the 90/10 rule: 90% of the meals of the week respect the food rebalancing established according to your needs and objectives. While the remaining 10% allow you to have fun. “, also recommends the specialist.
To lose weight without frustration… Keep it simple!
To be effective and for you to hold on in the long term… Approach this food rebalancing in a simple way. “The secret to success when you start a food rebalancing to lose weight is to simplify your life. Fresh, frozen or in jars, we put vegetables at each meal, without necessarily making meals that are too complicated and take too long to prepare! “, encourages Alexia Mouyal.
On those days when you don’t have time or haven’t run errands… No excuse to skip your veggie portion. So remember to always have jars of vegetables in your kitchen ready to put in a frying pan, or frozen vegetables in your freezer…!
Moreover, if you always have a healthy snack on hand to deal with these cravings… You will avoid throwing yourself on the packet of chips or the “comforting” cakes… Snacking, yes, but healthy!
To lose weight quickly… Chew!
Also, if you want to lose weight quickly, it is therefore essential to eat consciously. This by slowing down the pace of the meal, and focusing on what you eat. Cut out any distractions you may have during your meals. And take this time just for you, in peace.
The specialist reminds us that we must also chew food slowly: “eating (too) quickly contributes to stress and weight gain. It’s not about being slowed down, but really taking control. When we eat slowly, we eat less, take the test you will be surprised! “, she specifies.
Write !
Reflex to lose weight: another reflex that the specialist advises, and which can now make the difference… writing! The principle of the food diary is to list throughout your day what you eat, for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and possibly between meals…
“The simple fact of writing down everything we eat will change our eating behavior and make us lose weight. There is a real awareness of the mistakes made in order to avoid repeating them. », Explains Carla Abbou.
