10  Grandma's  tips for losing weight

 

Our grandmothers don't just have tips for making silverware shine or catching up on a dish that's too salty: they also have a whole host of slimming tips in their pockets to help us lose weight! Here are 10.

 

1. Warm lemon water

To accelerate weight loss as part of a diet, there is nothing like drinking a large glass of hot water every morning in which you have squeezed the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Indeed, lemon helps burn fat and detoxify the body, not to mention the appetite-suppressant effect of water! You can also squeeze a lemon into a 1.5L bottle of water, and drink it all day.

2. The apple before the meal

To be sure to eat less during meals, just bite into an apple 15 minutes before. The latter is rich in soluble fiber which will have an immediate appetite suppressant effect which will make lunch and dinner lighter.

3. Thyme tea

Thanks to its diuretic, draining, and detoxifying properties, thyme infusion has no equal in purifying the body and helping it burn stored fat in the abdominal area. A flat stomach drink in shorts!

4. Brushing teeth after every meal

Yes: when you brush your teeth right after eating, you quickly lose the taste of food for a feeling of freshness... and suddenly, you are less tempted to snack!

5. The artichoke cooking water

Certainly, it is not very appetizing and does not really taste good (!), but the cooking water of the artichokes has very interesting slimming virtues, which can help us lose a few superfluous kilos!

6. A soup for dinner

Rich in water and vegetables, the soup allows us to stall quickly while being light and low in calories. It is, therefore, an ideal evening meal; because as a reminder, in the evening we tend to exercise less, the more calories we consume at dinner, the more we will store in the form of fat.

7. Fruit for dessert

When you want to lose weight, you have to get into the habit of eating fruit for dessert: they are much less caloric than cakes or ice cream while satisfying our sweet cravings!

8. Parsley as an ally

As it helps regulate blood sugar, parsley is an aromatic herb that can help us fight against reactive hypoglycemia attacks... and the cravings that go with it, and that lead us to throw ourselves on a bag of chips or a box of cakes.

9. Garlic-boiled milk

After a period rich in excess or a particularly heavy meal, you can boil some milk in which you will place a clove of garlic, reduce it, and drink this slimming decoction. The taste won't be there, but garlic boosts the metabolism and helps burn more calories.

10. Generously pepper your plate

If salt promotes water retention, pepper promotes fat burning; so to lose weight more easily, do not hesitate to eat more spicy!

 

Why do we have to take the time to eat? 

Even if you are the most active person in the world, this is an order: take the time to eat!
Indeed, a meal engulfed too quickly is not satiating. The stomach transmits the feeling of satiety only after 20 minutes. So make yourself comfortable, keep calm around you, and try to put your fork down between each bite even if you have fangs!
Chew slowly, savor the food, and you will see, your digestion will be easier and your rations will decrease.

How to snack smart without gaining weight?

"I have a hollow!" How many times a day do you repeat this phrase to yourself between two meals?
Snacking is the number one enemy of your weight! Very often, if your menus are complete, these little sugar cravings are due to a psychological appeal rather than a real need for food.
If you really can't hold back and you're on the verge of devouring your colleague, play it delicately with a flavored tea or infusion, which may stop the feeling of hunger. Don't skip your afternoon snack either: a piece of fruit for example or a compote with plain yogurt or a few almonds, which will satisfy your taste buds on the sugar side.
 

Something to lose weight? Replace!

To lose weight easily, you must first learn to identify the most caloric foods... which are not always the ones you think! For example, from a caloric and dietary point of view, prefer chicken to beef, a pizza to a carbonara pasta dish full of bacon bits, and cereal bread rather than a white baguette... And don't forget not that rare are the " enemy" foods, it is necessary to preserve a minimum of the notion of pleasure, in fact, everything is a question of quantities!
Even charcuterie, provided you don't eat it more than twice a week and accompany it with raw vegetables rather than fries, could find its place on your plate! Of course, it is better to favor cooked ham or bresaola...

How to lose weight AND have fun?

Food should remain a pleasure, a moment of relaxation and exchange, with friends or family.
Stressing over every cookie you swallow is useless and will leave you bitter (and guilty) for the rest of the day. If you make big gaps, catch up the next day by reducing your calorie intake or opting for an intensive sports session. But learn not to yo-yo; your gaps must become exceptional moments.

Why favor homemade when trying to lose weight?

For two reasons. Firstly because cooking yourself allows you to truly control what you eat and to dose according to your needs. But also because it allows you to "reconcile" with food and no longer see it as the source of extra pounds!
Equip yourself with utensils (steamer, silicone foil wrappers, potato masher, blender...), and dare to buy foods you are not used to ( aromatic herbs, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes, shellfish). ..).
Your home cooking (with a light hand on fat ) will necessarily be better for your figure than prepared meals, rich in sugar and salt.

How to lose weight with plants?

Mother Nature has really thought of everything and also offers you weight loss tips! Since the dawn of time, we have used certain plants for their various medical virtues. But did you know that they can also act against the extra pounds? Not all of them, of course, but some of them are real slimming plants :

• The bark of the bitter orange (also called bitter orange) would accelerate the effect of satiety, and "stimulate" digestion.
• Fucus, a brown seaweed renowned for its stimulating action on the metabolism, encourages the body to tap into its fat reserves to cover its needs (go small, tap, tap!).
• Ginkgo biloba leaves are used for many properties, but in particular for their antioxidant and vasodilator capacities, which makes them excellent allies against cellulite!
• Fennel seeds are used for their beneficial action against digestion problems, stomach aches, and bloating.
• Ascophyllum: another seaweed! This would limit lipid assimilation at the intestinal level. In case of excess (after a festive meal for example), it can help limit the storage of fat.

Why sleeping well is important to fight against the pounds?

An American scientific study has highlighted the relationship between lack of sleep and weight, or more precisely the body mass index (BMI). It would seem that the less we sleep, the higher our BMI. This could be explained by a strong production of ghrelin, the hormone of appetite when one lacks sleep.
Another explanation could be that the body must draw the energy it needs during the night to maintain its temperature in its fat stores.
Be careful, to lose weight without dieting, this does not mean that you have to spend the day in bed! Get up to go exercise.

How to lose weight effortlessly by listening to your emotions?

Here is a simple observation: becoming aware of it will help you lose weight without dieting. Stress, anger, fear, anxiety... all emotions are likely to "cause us to eat". Have you ever, after a heartbreak, a big argument, or in front of a horror movie, jumped on everything that was offered to you in your fridge?
This behavior is normal and driven, because it comes from a natural desire for compensation, after a strong emotion, which we will satisfy with food.
For some people, the very fear of gaining weight will generate stress... which leads to eating! A vicious circle that we must be aware of to avoid it. Be zen, learn to manage your emotions, and above all: do not feel guilty at the slightest extra gram on your scale!
Finally, listening to one's food sensations with respect and kindness is one of the essential keys to making peace with one's diet, as the book "Intuitive eating, an anti-diet approach to no longer being obsessed with the food"
