7 good habits, the slim secrets that skinny people don’t tell you

There must be such people around you: they eat normally every day, and sometimes eat more than you! And it seems that she doesn’t do anything special, but she has always maintained a slim figure! Looking at myself, I can’t lose weight even if I diet as hard as I can. How do skinny people do it? The following 7 good living habits may be the secrets they haven’t told you!

A US survey found that people with a slim and fit figure tend to maintain good habits in terms of diet and exercise.

The American health website Prevention reported that researchers from the Cornell Food and Brand Lab have established a website called the Global Healthy Weight Registry, which allows netizens with slim and fit figures to register as members, share their eating, exercise and other lifestyle habits online, and disclose their secrets to staying in shape.

After analyzing the data, the researchers summarized the following 7 keys. It turns out there is a secret to not gaining weight!

1. Eat a healthy breakfast every day

96% of people eat breakfast every day, and one-third of them say that "eggs" are their favorite food in the morning, and half of them also eat fruits and vegetables for breakfast.

2. Eat bananas and nuts as snacks

When people want to snack, 65% of them choose fruit (the most common one is banana) or nuts, or both. There are many choices of nuts. Pistachios, for example, are rich in protein that can repair muscles, healthy fats that can fight inflammation, and rich in antioxidants that can slow down cell damage. I would like to remind everyone that nuts are oils and it is healthier to consume a small amount every day.

3. Don’t diet

Who says you have to not eat this or that to stay in shape? In fact, 74% never or rarely use dieting to control their weight. As long as you eat a balanced diet and control calories moderately, it will help you lose weight. Various weight loss tricks such as not eating starch, only eating protein, only eating apples, etc., can easily lead to weight gain again and are very unhealthy!

Eating plenty of vegetables is one of the keys to staying slim, and more than half of the respondents will eat vegetables for dinner.

4. Choose chicken when you want meat

About 60% of people's favorite meat is chicken, which is not surprising because chicken is not only rich in protein and can increase satiety, but also has a lower fat content than beef and pork. Whether it’s pan-fried, boiled, made into soup, or served with salad, chicken tastes delicious no matter how you pair it!

5. Eat lots of vegetables for dinner every day

People who consume a lot of vegetables usually have a lower risk of developing various chronic diseases, and eating more vegetables is also a key factor in keeping the subjects in shape - 65% of them eat vegetables for dinner every day. Since the nutritional content of various vegetables is different, remember to choose different colors and types to match each other. Also, drink enough water every day to prevent constipation.

6. Make Conscious Food Choices

Most people said that they don’t have any particular restrictions on what they can’t eat, but they will wisely choose “good” food and “good” ways of eating! For example, they eat whole, unprocessed foods, cook their own meals at home as much as possible, and don't overeat or just eat when they feel like it. Slim people eat "consciously" so they don't inadvertently consume too many calories.

7. Exercise almost every day

42% of people exercise 5 to 7 days a week. In fact, maintaining your figure is not that difficult. Just control your calories moderately (and choose natural, nutritious foods), and then consume calories moderately (aerobic exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, and dancing), and it will be easy to stay slim!
