Losing weight without necessarily dieting is possible! This theory is supported by Michael Greger, author and founder of NutritionFacts.org, according to whom weight loss is absolutely possible thanks to science.
Drink water before eating
Drinking water is a natural metabolic booster and works best! "Drinking a glass of water four times a day helps eliminate almost 100 extra calories. Even better if it's cold water, which further boosts metabolism as the body has to work to bring the liquid up to body temperature," he says. Gregor. Moreover, let's not forget that water has a natural filling effect on the stomach.
Choose a "smart" antipasti
Sitting down at the table and starting with an apple, a light salad, or a liquid vegetable-based soup is a great starting point for controlling calories. This strategy always works if you limit yourself in quantity or in your preferences!
Use apple cider vinegar
Acidic substances are known to help stabilize blood sugar levels. "Vinegar has been used in medicine since ancient times," Greger writes in his book. In fact, before the advent of blood sugar medications, it served as a popular diabetes remedy. For weight loss purposes, this is important because the fluctuating blood sugar level is the reason that, throughout the day, can cause us to abandon healthy habits to indulge in abundant or unhealthy food.
Never eat in front of a screen
A simple gesture: eliminate any kind of screen during meals. "Don't eat while watching TV or using the phone because the distraction makes you eat more," the book's author points out. One of these studies proved that men and women who ate while watching TV consumed an average of one more slice of pizza compared to their screen-free counterparts. A similar study also analyzed the dinner of subjects who listened to the radio. The result: they ate up to 77% more sweet foods than those who ate in silence.
Eat slowly
We are all in constant battle with time, with rhythm, with almost everything to do with our lives! But don't forget something! It takes a full 20 minutes to consume a meal and that is so essential. "Studies have shown that regardless of how long we chew food, having extra time to eat can lead to decreased caloric intake," writes Greger. Dedicating 20 minutes to each meal allows you to naturally achieve the feeling of satiety, rising from the table fuller, but in fact you have eaten less.
