Part 18: Little Secrets – Advertising Traps and Holiday Weight Loss Strategies

When hungry

I recommend seaweed and dried squid.

The stronger the flavor of seaweed, the lighter its weight, making it one of the foods that can provide a sense of satisfaction (not just a feeling of fullness).

It can also be served as a snack with alcohol while dieting.

Dried squid, as everyone knows, is a prime example of a high-protein, low-fat food.

Because it requires slow chewing, it can also help pass the time.

Everyone should think of ways to reduce belly fat, and definitely don't let your little belly turn into a big belly!

Beware of advertising traps

"Lose weight in 5 days"-I've been seeing this a lot in magazines and online lately.

Haha, you really can lose weight in 5 days.

In the summer, you might be able to lose 2 to 3 kilograms in 5 days, but whether your body shape will actually change is questionable.

The reason is that short-term weight loss is not a reduction in fat, but simply a reduction in water and food in the digestive system.

To change your body shape, you need to find ways to maintain the weight you've lost for at least a few weeks.

The idea that getting thinner is the same as losing weight is incorrect.

Short-term weight loss requires long-term maintenance for weight loss to be possible.

Losing weight in 5 days is possible. But getting thinner in 5 days is very difficult.

Don't be misled by advertisements and waste your time.

To avoid the regret of losing weight only in your wallet, it's best to lose weight steadily and gradually.

So that I won't regret it the next morning

Being hungry all night while dieting is extremely painful, and many people still can't stand it and reach for something to eat.

However, at this time, you must be patient to the end!

Only in this way can you have a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, and only then can you have a good mood to greet the next morning and want to give yourself a good praise.

In the summer, you can lose about 200 to 400 grams of weight in one night, so weighing yourself the next morning is an exciting thing.

If you can't stand the hunger in the middle of the night, step on the scale; it might calm you down immediately.

Does a holiday mean you can be lazy?

Do you spend your holidays staying home all day? Even if you do go out, do you just stay in your hometown and idle around? Or do you go out with friends to enjoy all kinds of delicious food, or take a drive to different places to taste delicacies that even gourmets would drool over?

As the saying goes: Gain weight during the holidays, and you won't regret it.

However, if you want to try the G-style diet, you need to abstain from sex most on weekends!

It's okay not to work, but you should pay attention to dieting and make time for exercise.

When I was about to lose heart

Even those who vow to lose weight sometimes succumb to the temptation of ramen, curry rice, or tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) rice bowls.

Especially when you're on an empty stomach, the nights when you toss and turn in bed unable to sleep are a very dangerous time.

There are even more TV programs that tempt your stomach late at night.

However, back then, I would constantly browse fashion magazines featuring models; when I finally succumbed to the temptation and wanted to rush to the convenience store, I would look at my cylindrical waist and compare it to the slender waist of the models, then pull myself back.

Even if it's a cliché, visualizing your goals is a powerful mental support for enduring painful weight loss, and it's very effective.

The original purpose of the G-method for weight loss was to make weight loss visually quantifiable.

The calories you lose aren't easy to know, but the weight you lose is immediately apparent.

Isn't it great to lose weight? Humans are creatures heavily influenced by vision.

Posting posters of idols or sports stars in your room is also a very effective method.

Occasionally extend the running distance

When setting your running distance, if you have the time and energy, you might as well set a longer distance than usual.

If I used to run 3 kilometers, I'll set the goal to run 5 kilometers; if I used to run one lap around the park, I'll try running two laps today.

Of course, physical condition and mood during running vary from day to day.

Within the bounds of what's possible, people always want to indulge themselves, so they can only run short distances.

However, set a relatively long running distance for yourself first. When you are in good physical condition, you can run a long distance, and even if you are in a bad mood, you can at least run to your limit.

Even if it's just about not compromising with yourself and becoming willing to challenge yourself, the results will be very different.

Morning weight measurement

Everyone is happy to lose weight. Even losing just 100 grams is something to be happy about.

To experience this feeling, try weighing yourself after having a bowel movement in the morning.

If I can reduce the pain even a little, I'll feel more confident and will continue to work hard to lose weight.

Wait a while after exercising

Don't shower immediately after running; please wait a while.

Even after you stop exercising, you're still sweating profusely; you'll sweat a lot even after exercising.

Have you ever had this experience? You're about to be late, and after a sprint to the station, you finally catch the tram, but you're drenched in sweat.

After running back in your sports jacket, take a moment to catch your breath at the door.

Of course, you can't take off your clothes until your heart starts beating normally.

As a result, you'll find yourself sweating surprisingly much during this time.
