Step 1 - Buy your healthy food.
We don't realise this, but our poor diet starts when we buy our groceries. In the rush to have easy pre-made meals, and trying to keep up with our busy schedule we buy and consume things like noodles, microwaveable meals and many more unhealthy options. It's in this moment we need to remember that our body needs a complete set of proteins, nutrients and vitamins to function properly.
For this diet to work, the first step is you need to take is to prepare your shopping list in advance picking fresh fruits, veggies and meat.
As this diet is super practical - it also opens the door for you to embrace a more aware way of eating, increasing more healthy options and taking care of your body. This is so important towards your journey to a healthy life.
Step 2 - Drink plenty of water.
It is incredible that something that just comes from the tap can have such a power. Water is miraculous and for weight loss water is a tremendous benefit.
This article in The Medical News Today says:
Researchers are still unsure why drinking more water helps a person to lose weight, but many studies show some positive correlation between increased water consumption and weight loss. Below are six reasons that water may help with losing weight.
1. Water is a natural appetite suppressant.
Drinking water may aid weight loss. When the stomach senses that it is full, it sends signals to the brain to stop eating. Water can help to take up space in the stomach, leading to a feeling of fullness and reducing hunger. A person may also think that they are hungry when they are actually thirsty. Drinking a glass of water before reaching for something to eat can help to curb unnecessary snacking.
In a 2014 studyTrusted Source, 50 overweight females drank 500 milliliters (mL) of water 30 minutes before breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in addition to their regular water consumption, for 8 consecutive weeks.
The participants experienced a reduction in body weight, body fat, and body mass index. They also reported appetite suppression. A studyTrusted Source from the previous year had yielded similar results.
2. Water increases calorie burning Some research indicates that drinking water can help to burn calories.
In a 2014 studyTrusted Source, 12 people who drank 500mL of cold and room temperature water experienced an increase in energy expenditure. They burned between 2 and 3 percent more calories than usual in the 90 minutes after drinking the water. Water may also temporarily increase the body’s resting energy expenditure, or the number of calories burned while resting.
Drinking cold water may further enhance water’s calorie-burning benefits, because the body expends energy, or calories, by heating up the water for digestion.This healthy diet contains lots of natural antioxidants that are substances that may protect your cells against free radicals, which may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Free radicals are molecules produced when your body breaks down food or when you're exposed to tobacco smoke or radiation.
Then get ready to drink just water during this diet, no fizzy drinks, no alcohol, just fresh water all the time.
Step 3 - Do this diet plan with the guide of a healthy menu for 2 weeks.
