Many people think that they can quickly get into shape if they severely restrict their food intake.
However, methods such as the three-day water diet can cause serious harm to the body.
Firstly, you will simply be deprived of the necessary vitamins and energy, and secondly, after such restrictions, a breakdown often occurs. After severe stress, the body begins to store calories, and you will gain even more weight.
How to lose weight without harming your health
To get in shape without harming your health, follow these simple recommendations.
Maintain a sleep schedule
Your sleep should be at least 6 hours a day. If you can't get enough sleep at night, try taking a nap during the day - this will help increase the effectiveness of any diet.
Drink enough water
It is recommended to drink 40 ml of water per 1 kg of body weight. For example, if you weigh 60 kg, you should drink about 2400 ml per day. Water, tea, medicinal decoctions - all this is included in the total volume of liquid.
Add physical activity
Walking, fitness, swimming or active games with children - all this will help improve metabolism. Even simple actions, such as climbing stairs, can have a positive effect on your health.
Treat yourself to non-edible pleasures
Find joy in non-food related activities. Massages, aromatic baths, going to the movies or bowling will help take your mind off food and will certainly improve your mood.
