Habits that help you lose weight and prevent you from gaining weight again

In SportLife magazine, nutritionist Nataniel Viuniski shared some habits that are worth adopting if you want to lose weight and, above all, avoid gaining weight again, something that is possible and happens frequently.

How to lose weight without gaining weight again1. Start meals with raw foods

“Eat slowly, as it is for about 16 minutes that satiety hormones are released. This way, you will also eat less at the next meal.”

2. Chew your food well

"Good digestion begins with chewing. The more pasty the food reaches the stomach, the better the digestion will be."

3. Avoid eating while watching television

“The mind does not focus when you watch something while eating, which impairs the release of hormones responsible for satiety and compromises digestion.”

4. Avoid negative thoughts about your body

“Negative and derogatory thoughts about our bodies can stimulate the release of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which is linked to the accumulation of abdominal fat.”

5. Don't just focus on the result

"Forget the goals. Focus on doing the basics well every day, because the result is the sum of small daily victories, and success will be inevitable."

6. Pay attention to your surroundings

“Feeling alone in a social environment, even surrounded by people, can lead you to eat more than necessary to fill that emotional void.”

Nutritionists agree: this is the best breakfast to lose weightParade magazine spoke with Dana Hunnes, Lauren Manaker and Kathleen Benson to find out what should be part of the first meal of the day for anyone who wants to lose weight. The experts began by explaining the benefits of breakfast.

Losing weight: the importance of breakfast “We normally eat three meals a day, which means we have three opportunities — or even more, for those who prefer to snack throughout the day — to consume healthy or less healthy foods”, explains Dana Hunnes.

Breakfast plays an important role in health and also in the weight loss process.

"It is in the morning that our metabolism accelerates. We are sleeping throughout the night, and the metabolism slows down to maintain mainly the functions essential to life, such as heartbeat, breathing and other basic vital functions."

Therefore, this first meal can be enjoyed in the best way when it is well planned.

“What we eat can influence how our body feels throughout the day. If you eat a very heavy breakfast, you may feel more sluggish and drowsy than if you opt for a lighter meal rich in healthy foods and antioxidants.”

The best breakfast to lose weightThe question was asked to the three nutritionists, and they all agreed that the best breakfast combines fiber, protein and other important nutrients. The ideal menu to start the day consists of scrambled eggs with spinach and a wholemeal English muffin.

"Spinach is a low-calorie, nutrient-rich food. It is an excellent source of fiber, which promotes satiety and aids digestion. Both are important factors in weight control," explains Lauren Manaker.

Eggs also play an important role in this first meal.

"Eggs are a source of high quality protein and great nutritional efficiency. They have few calories in relation to the volume consumed and promote satiety thanks to their protein and fat content", concludes Dana Hunnes.
