Debunking 41 diet lies
Simply eating less is not the best way to achieve the figure you want. The famous FdH ("eat half as much") also means you don't get enough nutrients and vitamins that are important for losing weight and permanently slows down your metabolism. This makes you fat.
42 The "eat me" list
Create a list of foods that you can eat as much of as you want and stick it on the fridge: raspberries, kohlrabi, gherkins ...
43 Less networking
Facebook, Instagram and the like are fattening, according to researchers at Columbia University (USA). The reason: people who spend a lot of time communicating online tend to eat fattening snacks and don't get enough exercise.
44 Trend food Portobello mushroom
Why not replace schnitzel or minced meat with the firm, meaty portobello mushroom with just 26 kcal/100 g? Grilled, it can even replace the bun for burgers.
45 The 100-bite rule
Slimming trick for math fans: we consume an average of 11 kcal with every bite. If you eat 100 bites a day, this theoretically corresponds to the ideal amount of calories for losing weight.
46 Healthy foods to stock up on
Cook lean vegetable dishes in large quantities and freeze them in portions. Then you'll have something healthy when you need it quickly. Game over for frozen pizza and delivery services!
47 Toothpaste as the final touch
Toothpaste drives away the desire to snack because of the essential mint oils. Take advantage of the effect: always brush your teeth soon after dinner. The ritual also takes advantage of our tendency towards convenience. Who wants to brush twice?
48 Rethink
When planning your meals, don't start with the fattening foods ("What sauce do I make to go with pasta?", "We're having meatballs today, but what to have with them?"). Start rethinking: "Today I'm craving green beans, broccoli, etc.? What could I cook with it?"
49 Not with a full mouth
Because the satiety effect only sets in after 20 minutes, you should not talk with your mouth full. This way you take breaks to talk and automatically eat more slowly - and less.
50 Turmeric for fat loss
Turmeric (turmeric) can help with weight problems. Even in small doses, the slightly bitter, aromatic spice slows down the growth of fat cells. Can be found in curry, for example.
