According to a study that a group of researchers at the University of Colorado conducted on 75,000 obese participants, it is possible to lose weight continuously and in the long term simply by avoiding expensive diets and programs, but by opting for cheap and easy solutions that allow us to lose weight. without wasting time and money. Educated on an affordable and viable weight loss program , all participants pledged to follow it to the letter, and most experienced rapid weight loss.

Here are some points of this simple program:

1) Plan a training plan: All participants had a training schedule that kept them busy at the gym every other day. The gym is essential to follow this program.

2) Plan the meals of the week : write down a meal plan, albeit a crude one, in which we know what we will eat for lunch, what for dinner and what for snacks. This will make it easier to keep calories under control and ensure macro and micronutrients.

3) Having your own mantra: a phrase that makes us optimistic about our weight loss path. For example: “every day I am leaner and fitter than the previous one”. This helps a lot our brain to align with our needs by imagining us thin, it helps us to think positively and keeps morale high.

4) Do not improvise snacks and meals at the last minute: carrying an apple, tangerines or a 100% fruit bar with you is a great way to avoid getting caught up in the food rush when we are away from home.

5) Find a support partner: you can do the diet as a couple, or find a friend with the same difficulties as us. It is the best way to lose weight without wanting to give up the diet.

6) Respect a calorie ceiling, for example 1500 calories if you are a woman, 1800 for men.

7) Review the consumption of carbohydrates: only whole and not as a main meal, but the size of a side dish. Abound in fruits and vegetables.

8) Eat on red and small plates : they distract us from hunger and make us full sooner.
