Drink a cup of black coffee after a meal to boost metabolism

Black coffee can also effectively eliminate edema from the body and promote cardiovascular circulation. Many celebrities drink a cup of coffee in the early morning to eliminate edema. In addition, during the high-temperature coffee brewing process, an antioxidant compound is produced that helps fight cancer, anti-aging, and even prevents cardiovascular disease, comparable to fruits and vegetables.

Coffee weight loss tips

1. Don’t add sugar: If you are not used to the bitter taste of coffee, you can add a little milk, but never add sugar, because sugar will hinder the decomposition of fat.

2. Hot coffee is more effective than iced coffee: Hot coffee can help you consume calories in your body faster.

3. Lightly roasted coffee is the most effective: Coffee roasted at a high temperature has a strong flavor, but it contains relatively little caffeine, which is not conducive to weight loss. American coffee with a lighter flavor is more conducive to weight loss.

Eat light meals and try to eat vegetarian food for the next two meals: balance calories and nutrition

For the two meals after a big meal, try to eat lighter ones to reduce the burden on your body. For example, if you had a lot of meat and fish last night, you should eat less oil and salt for breakfast and lunch today. Because being a vegetarian or light diet can effectively relieve the greasiness in a "big meal", and fruits and vegetables rich in fiber can help promote quick digestion and achieve the effect of laxatives and fat reduction.

【Recommended recipes after a big meal】:

Breakfast: unsweetened soy milk + boiled egg.

Lunch: vegetable salad (note to reduce the salad dressing) + 2 slices of whole wheat bread.

Drink enough water: beneficial for fat decomposition

Be sure to drink plenty of fluids after a large meal, which can help you lose weight. Because the human body cannot decompose fat normally without the participation of water. In addition, as the amount of water in the body decreases, the kidneys cannot function normally, and the task of processing toxins in the body will fall on the liver. Another function of the liver is to participate in energy metabolism in the body. When there is less water in the body, the liver's ability to break down fat will be affected, so be sure to drink plenty of water after a big meal!

Drink at the right time to lose weight more effectively

Early morning: Drinking water early in the morning can help you lose belly fat. When you have breakfast in the morning, you can drink a glass of warm boiled water, light honey water or water with added fiber. These waters can quickly accelerate the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract and expel the garbage, toxins and metabolites accumulated in our body at night, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the belly.

Before meals: Drinking water before meals can reduce our appetite. Drinking a glass of water before meals can increase the feeling of fullness and reduce food intake, so the appetite will naturally be smaller.

Afternoon: In the afternoon, when people feel tired and exhausted, they want to consume high-calorie food. At this time, we can drink a glass of honey water to dispel the tired mood and control the desire to eat. This can also reduce your appetite so that you won't eat too much at dinner.
