An endocrinologist told us which culinary techniques will help you lose weight without going to the gym or doing grueling workouts.
Zukhra Pavlova, a specialist at the Moscow State University Clinic, shared simple advice on her Telegram channel.
The doctor named several rules that are easy to implement into your diet.
Warm unsweetened drinks
The expert recommends drinking tea or even just hot water more often. This restores the volume of fluid in the body and helps control appetite.
Hot soup
After eating a plate of hot food, the production of the satiety hormone cholecystokinin is stimulated.
In addition, another important hormone is produced – glucagon-like peptide.
It significantly reduces the activity of the hunger center and is also the basis of a popular weight loss drug.
Protein food
For breakfast, you should prepare dishes from foods that are rich in protein: cottage cheese, eggs, chicken breast, fish (lightly salted salmon), etc.
Such food saturates the body better, so the desire to snack every couple of hours disappears for a long time.
Eat slowly
When eating in a hurry, a person does not have time to feel the signals of satiety from the body. If you eat slowly, then half of the amount you usually eat may be enough.
Sleep at least 7 hours
This tip is not directly related to food, but it plays an important role in appetite control.
If you sleep less than 7 hours, you disrupt the functioning of hormones responsible for appetite, mood, and energy.
As a result, a person becomes hungrier. Overeating becomes the norm, as does excess weight. In addition, laziness and irritability come.
