There is a reason why it is easy to gain weight! To boost your metabolism, drink the right coffee, chocolate and this soup.

"Foods that increase basal metabolism" make weight loss easier

The easiest reason to gain weight after the age of 40 is "slowing metabolism" - and in fact, there are "foods that can speed up metabolism." When it comes to dieting, most people only care about how many calories they consume. Counting calories is of course an important key when it comes to diet, but I don't think most people need to be so neurotic about it. By simply following the common sense of "reducing fat and sugar intake" and "reducing overall food portions", you can reduce your calorie intake to a considerable extent.

Rather than counting calories, I would like everyone to focus on effectively consuming foods that "can speed up metabolism." The so-called "foods that can accelerate metabolism" refer to those that can eliminate "things that easily cause obesity." For example, "foods that do not cool down the body", "foods that make fat burn easily", and "foods that allow muscles to work efficiently". The details are listed in the chart on the next page. If you can actively consume these foods, you can effectively improve your metabolism and help lose weight at the same time. In addition, I myself am taking health foods that supplement "amino acids". If it is difficult to have a balanced diet, supplementing it with health foods is one solution.

★Make good use of "foods that boost metabolism" to make losing weight easier! Kasai-style "Super Coffee" Weight Loss Method

If you feel hungry, have a cup of coffee first! I would like to recommend to you the "coffee weight loss method" that I have personally verified. The method is simple: if you feel hungry, slowly drink a mug of coffee. This is the most effective way to lose weight that I have found after years of trying many different methods and learning from my mistakes. During the diet period before the competition, I couldn’t eat even if I was hungry, but food-related questions kept popping up in my mind: "Is there nothing to eat?" "How can I suppress the feeling of hunger?" At that time, I tried many kinds of zero-calorie drinks sold on the market. After trying it, I found that drinking coffee can reduce the feeling of hunger, and coffee is zero calorie!

★When you feel a little hungry, drink a cup of coffee first to suppress the feeling of hunger.

【Kasai-style "coffee weight loss method"】

①Drink only hot coffee

Although iced coffee tastes good, it lowers your body temperature and slows down your metabolism.

② Drink it one hour before you feel hungry

If you are already hungry, the effect will be halved. It is best to drink it 1 hour before the stomach completes digestion.

③If you drink it at night, choose decaffeinated coffee

Caffeine has a brain-stimulating effect. In order to avoid being unable to sleep at night, decaffeinated coffee is the best choice.

People who don’t know me think I like drinking coffee, but actually I can’t drink it. But after trying drinking coffee, I found that it not only reduces the feeling of hunger, but also because coffee stimulates the sympathetic nerves, it is also effective in increasing metabolism. It also has a diuretic effect and can aid digestion, so it is very suitable for weight loss. It is simply an "angel's drink."

If you can suppress the feeling of hunger, you can reduce the amount of food you eat at one time or skip snacks, which can lead to good weight loss results.

Chocolate is a magic sedative to relieve weight loss anxiety

If even coffee doesn't make me hungry, I'll eat chocolate. Maybe you will be surprised: "Is it good to eat chocolate while losing weight?" But of course I don't eat a lot of it, but only two or three pieces. With this amount, you don’t have to worry about the impact on your weight. It’s much better than forcing yourself not to eat, accumulating stress, and ending up “overeating”.

Chocolate is a magical tranquilizer that can calm the anxiety caused by losing weight. Moreover, chocolate is originally eaten by climbers in emergency situations. It can replenish energy immediately and has a healing effect on the body that is exhausted from training on an empty stomach. The main ingredient of chocolate is cocoa, which is rich in polyphenols and can promote fat burning. In fact, it is also a weight loss food that promotes metabolism.

Therefore, try to choose chocolate with a high cocoa content. Having said that, if you are only eating two or three pieces of chocolate, there is actually no need to be picky about the type. It is also fine to eat slightly sweeter chocolate. Choosing your favorite flavor can not only relieve hunger, but also bring spiritual satisfaction. The trick to eating chocolate is not to bite it, but to eat it slowly and let it melt on your tongue. Even if you only eat a little bit, you can get full satisfaction.

Sometimes I eat chocolate with my coffee, the two go perfectly together. During the painful period of weight loss, the happy time of coffee and chocolate is the best way to relieve stress.

[Eating chocolate correctly can eliminate anxiety]

①Only eat two or three tablets

Three tablets at most. You know without me telling you that you won’t be able to lose weight if you eat too many.

②Recommend chocolate with high cocoa content

It is recommended to eat chocolate with high cocoa content to achieve weight loss effect. If you only eat two or three slices, it will not only satisfy your soul, but you don’t have to worry about the type, just choose the flavor you like.

③Don’t bite it, but hold it in your mouth and let it melt

Don't chew it and swallow it right away. Instead, hold it in your mouth and let it melt. It will be more satisfying if you savor it slowly.

"Magic Vegetable Soup" is nutritionally balanced and filling, making it the best partner for weight loss

When you first start losing weight, you often can’t stand the feeling of being hungry at certain times. Sometimes you would even hear the devil whispering, "It's okay to eat it today, right?" If you really eat it, all your efforts would be wasted. At this time, "Magic Vegetable Soup" is your best friend. This soup was originally designed by my wife, who is a good cook. She added a lot of vegetables to help me maintain my body shape so that the diet can be nutritionally balanced even with limited portions.

These two soups are both nutritious and filling, and are my favorites among my wife’s dishes. During the ten-month-long season, Magic Vegetable Soup was my savior when I was hungry and helpless. In order to maintain my weight during the season, I sometimes only drank this soup as lunch. You can put the soup in a thermos and have a cup of warm soup when you are hungry while out and about. It will warm your stomach and heart. Also, most companies should have a microwave so you can heat up the soup even if it gets cold.

Don't drink the soup all at once; savor it as you work.
