Is it possible to lose 10 kg in a month?

Something that all women were afraid of all year happened: 30 days left until the vacation, but the number that began to "lose weight" in the summer remained unchanged.Fitness trainers and nutritionists know how to lose 10 kg in a month (and it's real).Yes, you will have to give up a lot of good things and finally go to the gym (without exhaustion) - but what would you do to take photos in a swimsuit!

This is what your future will look like: six basic rules for effective weight loss

If you add regular exercise to proper nutrition, it is possible to lose weight without dieting.But you should not rely on miracle powders, tablets and patches.Reviews assure that the only people helped by such products are the manufacturers who enrich the confidence of women.

But changing your diet isn't enough—you need to teach yourself six "iron" rules, should not be changed under any circumstances.

Authorized drinking regime

Each diet insists on a water regimen, starting with strict mono-diets or "poor" nutrition (French, buckwheat, Japanese diets) and ending with PP.

The essence of the water regime is simple:drink 1.5 liters of clean water per day.Buy cold water from the office fridge, buy bottled drinking water (maybe even mineral water, but without gas), drink water from a home filter.

Important:

  • Do not replace water with tea, coffee and compotes (that is, such drinks are not prohibited, but allow yourself as a "pampering");
  • the taller and bigger you are, the more water you need to drink - 1.5 liters is for an average woman, and if you are, say, tall, the daily norm should start at 2 liters;
  • Drink the first glass in the morning on an empty stomach (add 2-3 drops of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to it - this will help speed up metabolism);You need to drink a glass (or at least half a glass) - in no case try to drink a lot of water at once;
  • Do not drink while eating - at least one hour should pass after eating.

Healthy eating as an alternative to dieting

It is not necessary if you do not want to "sit" only on buckwheat or green apples, but you still need to follow the limits.You already know what you should give up:do not cook or buy sweets, fried foods, fatty foods, smoked foods, fast food.Avoid bread, starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn), high-calorie fruits (bananas).Consume sweet dried fruits and nuts in moderation.

If you can't live without sweets, buy dark chocolate (bitter brut) and give yourself 1-2 cubes in the morning.

The easiest time to lose weight is during the summer months, when cheap and flavorful vegetables are abundant and cheap.

And one more thing: visit grocery stores only on a full stomach.In this way, you will protect yourself from spontaneous purchases (extra products that are eaten later "because I don't want to" so as not to spoil).

Estimated daily calorie loss

An adult needs to eat 1800 kcal per day to lead an active life.If it enters the body more, folds will appear on the sides.If you exercise less (and even more), you will lose weight.

Nutritionists are sure:If you start eating less than 700 kcal per day, you will burn a kilogram of body fat(without changing physical activity).

Organize an "accounting" for your diet.Write down what you ate today, yesterday, the day before and how many calories you consumed.Now decide for yourself which portions of food to reduce, which snacks to give up, which foods to replace with low-calorie foods.Get a monthly weight loss plan.

But: a "poor" daily diet of more than 1200 kcal is considered dangerous!

"Iron" daily routine

  1. Main meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) should be taken at the same time.
  2. Exercise should be regular.If you do not have time to exercise every day, choose 3-4 days a week and do not miss "physical education".
  3. No matter what, the regime must be followed.Even if you are in a hurry at work or your friends invite you to a restaurant for a rich holiday meal, do not spoil it.

Remember: this is temporary, you only have to wait a month!Although... a lot of people get used to this routine within 30 days and make it their routine (making their body happy).

Movement is not only life, but also harmony

Even if you choose a strict diet, it will not help you lose weight quickly.In addition, movement helps to tone muscles and speed up metabolism.

If you can't exercise in a fitness club:

  • make it a habitshort gymnastic warm-up exercises(get up from your desk every hour and don't squat, make passes with your hands, remembering what you were taught in school exercises);
  • fall in loveevening walksin the fresh air (good sleep will be a pleasant bonus);
  • Replace short trips (1-2 public transport stops) with walking "runs";
  • more oftenget outat home (washing floors is an exercise for the muscles of the shoulders and arms).

Note "Start" but do not save the notes

When you start losing weight, measure your parameters using a measuring tape and write down your weight.You can keep the "control" clothes (for example, put aside the pants that are close to you - at the end of the month they will tell both you and your family whether your parameters have changed).You can take a picture.

And after that... Don't forget you're losing weight.No need to weigh yourself every 3 hours and cuddle with a tape.Give yourself a mindset: I've started a healthy lifestyle, thanks to which I'm going to slim down.And do not violate the regime and nutrition.

Only at the end of the month you can weigh yourself again and measure your waist size.

Regular exercise for a month

Exercise is an integral part of your weight loss.You don't have to spend money on gym memberships and sportswear - you can work out at home and in your pajamas.That's the main thingdo it regularly and diligently, perform each approach clearly, following the rules developed by the trainers:

  • You should start with a light warm-up that warms up the muscles (thanks to this, the body will be less tired);
  • do not train on a full stomach - and you should not sit at the table immediately after training (avoid eating about an hour before and an hour after training);
  • It is both possible and necessary to drink clean water during classes;
  • the duration of the main training: 2-3 sets for each exercise (from 10 to 20 repetitions in each set), the interval between exercises is a maximum of 2 minutes;
  • When the body gets used to the main load, it is necessary to increase the number of repetitions and approaches.

What a warm-up might look like: swing your arms, run in place, squat.You may remember something from school exercises.Do each exercise at least 10 times.

30 days of food

Don't give in to stupid advice that tempts you to go on a hunger strike.Although everything is logical: if a person does not eat, he will have to lose body fat.But - for now, for now!When the "hunger strike" ends, the body, afraid of such a metamorphosis, will rush to store every food it takes as fat, fearing that hard times will soon come again.

Real advice from nutritionists insists:

  • need to eatfractionally(small but frequent portions);
  • you should not engage in mono-diets for a period of thirty days - it is better to build a balanced menu that includes all the main food groups;

  • you need to chew slowly and for a long time, without distracting from reading or watching a movie;
  • Instead of stress eating, start another "anti-nerve" habit, but not high-calorie (squatting, cleaning, talking to a friend, walking).

Dieticians also advisereduce the amount of salt in your diet.Salt retains water (and a lot of toxins) in the body, sometimes this mineral is responsible for swelling, which means extra numbers on the scale.If you absolutely cannot avoid salting soup and meat, at least do not buy salted herring, canned vegetables, store-bought vegetable juices and chips (this is the record holder for salt content).

And the last thing: alcohol stimulates the appetite, so you should avoid it (or minimize contact with the "green snake").
