Smart food choices
Tet dishes often cause excess calories in the body. However, this can be controlled by consuming food intelligently. First of all, pork products should be replaced with white meats such as chicken, fish, shrimp, etc. Eat boiled or steamed dishes instead of fried or stir-fried dishes with lots of oil. Cakes, jams, and candies should also be replaced with fruits to provide vitamins and fiber for the body and help lose weight effectively. If you want the fat burning process to be more effective, drinking a lot of green tea is a useful solution.
The above foods not only help the body become firmer, create a feeling of fullness for a long time, but also limit appetite and reduce the amount of calories taken into the body.
High intensity exercise.
There are two main exercise methods that help lose weight quickly, effectively burn excess fat, and help your body stay balanced and healthy. They are HIIT and Cardio.
These are two popular high-intensity interval training methods that many people trust. Take advantage of your free time during Tet to do these exercises. HIIT and Cardio do not require regular exercise, only about 2-3 sessions a week. Along with that, there are many other benefits such as helping the body increase muscle, reduce fat, lose weight and improve cardiovascular health.
Chew food slowly
With the tradition of cooking Tet feasts, food during this holiday is always in excess, causing people to unconsciously eat more than usual. During Tet, chew your food slowly and leisurely. According to a scientific study, after eating for about 15 minutes, the brain will send a signal indicating a feeling of fullness to avoid absorbing too much excess food.
Also, if chewing slowly makes you hungry quickly, combine it with eating small snacks. Keeping your body in a state of fullness is a good way to avoid eating continuously and lose weight easily.
Intermittent fasting
According to Boldsky, the 16:8 intermittent fasting method (eating for 8 hours and fasting for 16 hours) is very popular today. Experts recommend the ideal eating time from 12pm to 6pm, you can eat 2 meals and eat your favorite foods.
Other popular methods include the 5:2 diet (you fast 2 days a week), Eat-Stop-Eat (fast for 24 hours, once or twice a week), alternate-day fasting, the warrior diet (you fast and eat a large meal at a certain time of day), and spontaneous skipping (you skip meals that fit your schedule)... which are also used by many people.
In addition, checking your weight regularly during Tet helps you stay reminded of your fitness goals. The numbers on the scale will help you be proactive in responding to changes in your body, such as weight gain or loss. This is also a way to motivate you to get closer to your desired weight.
