by Losing weight is one of the wishes of people who are ‘plus size’, this is a process that can be achieved in a short time, but it takes a lot of discipline. The portal Healthline advises a three-step plan to achieve the goal of reducing your appetite, losing weight quickly without going hungry, and improving your metabolic health.
The first thing to do is reduce your intake of sugars and starches (carbohydrates). Experts point out that by reducing the consumption of these products the body will experience less desire to eat. “Another benefit of cutting carbs is that it lowers insulin levels, which prompts your kidneys to remove excess sodium and water from your body. This reduces bloating and unnecessary water weight.” says the aforementioned portal.
As a second point in this process, experts advise eating proteins, fats and vegetables. These foods should be included in each meal.
In addition, the consumption of some juices is recommended, which thanks to its components help to speed up the body’s metabolism and reduce fat.
