Dessert for breakfast? 10 hidden weight loss tricks

We all know that eating less and exercising more is the golden rule for weight loss, but there are still many other little tips in daily life that can help you lose weight. Last week, a US research report pointed out that going out in the sun and exercising around 8 o'clock in the morning can help increase your metabolic rate. In addition, the British "Daily Mail" also proposed several other small ways to help lose weight, which can help you easily maintain your figure and not gain weight!

1. Eat with your other hand: People are often constrained by habits. If you are right-handed, try using your left hand to hold the knife, fork or chopsticks, and break out of your original habitual framework. Because you are not used to it, your eating speed will slow down, and your calorie intake will be reduced, which will help you lose weight.

2. Eat chili peppers and peppers: Chili peppers can help increase the body's metabolism and burn more fat. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition pointed out that capsaicin in chili peppers can increase the production of stress hormones, thereby increasing the body's metabolism. The spiciness and heat of chili or pepper can help reduce appetite.

3. Eat in a quiet place: The noisy sounds around will stimulate the human nervous system, causing the heart rate to increase, blood pressure to rise, making it easier to feel hungry, and unknowingly eat more; you will also consume more alcoholic beverages, making it easier to gain weight. So choose a quieter place where you can have a leisurely meal without any pressure.

4. Clench your fist for 30 seconds: A 2011 study pointed out that the action of clenching your fist is related to muscle endurance and can indirectly enhance a person's willpower. Therefore, when you want to eat, quickly clench your fist and look at it, which will help reduce the desire to eat.

5. Eat apples with skin: According to a study by a research team from the University of Iowa, the ursolic acid rich in apple peel can increase muscle and brown fat, allowing the body to burn calories and fight obesity. Arbutin is an ingredient extracted from the leaves of the Ericaceae plant bearberry. It is also found in plants such as pears and wheat. Arbutin is also a well-known whitening ingredient. Natural arbutin is mostly found in some berry plants, such as the well-known blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, etc. It can also be found in cranberries, plums, pears, basil, thyme, pepper leaves and thyme.

6. You can eat desserts for breakfast: Morning is the time when the human body's metabolism is the highest and most vigorous, and it is also the most suitable time to consume high-calorie foods. A 2012 study found that if people who love desserts change to eating them in the morning, they will not only be less likely to gain weight, but can also help lose weight.

7. Take 15 to 20 bites each time: A Japanese study involving 4,700 people found that people who usually eat very fast not only consume more calories and become fatter than the average person, but also have a higher risk of diabetes. Chewing slowly not only helps digestion, but also makes it easier for people to feel full.

8. Eating with a small plate and a big fork: A study by Cornell University found that if the same amount of food is eaten on a large plate, the eater will feel that the portion is not average and will eat more. If it is eaten on a small plate, the eater will feel that it is more filling and will eat less. A study in Italy found that people who use a large fork eat less than those who use a small fork because they feel that using a small fork will satisfy their appetite more slowly, so they end up eating more.

9. Don’t eat the same food as your skinny friends who can’t gain weight

There must be friends around you who can eat anything without gaining weight, which makes people envious and jealous. But don’t let this lead you to eat the same amount as them unconsciously, or you may end up gaining weight! But if you have friends around you who have small appetites and don’t like to eat snacks, you can secretly imitate the way they eat. Friends are like mirrors.

10. Drink water or soup before meals

The order of eating is also a factor that affects food intake and appetite. Drink water before meals, drink soup first, then eat vegetables and then rice. Try to fill your stomach with low-calorie foods first, so that you will not consume too much, and you will not eat too much even if you feel full.
