In the first half of the XX century in the United States of America, a popular way to lose weight was .. start smoking.
Tobacco manufacturer Lucky Strike was one of the first in history to "plant" women on cigarettes.
For the design of a pack of cigarettes, the green color popular with American women was chosen,
and the star faces of Hollywood actively participated in the advertising of the products.
Having planted women on nicotine, the manufacturer did not stop there, but went even further.
For 5 blocks of cigarettes, the brand's specialists convinced several doctors to recognize Lucky Strike
products as useful for health.
And in conclusion, they released it under the advertising slogan:
"Lit Lucky Lucky, and you will forever forget about the sweets from which you get fat!".
Today, everyone knows that to keep weight after a diet, you do not need to do something special: order
superfoods for snacks, agree to a course of "cleansing enemas" or veto your favorite foods.
Effective rules for weight retention are so simple that everyone can do it.
But isn't it because today there are so many fat people that we are not looking for easy ways?
By the way!
Studies by Canadian doctors have shown that a year after quitting smoking, most women lost the extra
pounds that they had.
And those who managed to survive without nicotine for two years or more significantly reduced the risks of obesity.
How to keep weight after a diet: a piggy bank of healthy ideas
On average, there are about 50 billion fat cells in the body of an adult.
Fat is found in all parts of the body except for the eyelids, navel, esophagus and penis.
Under favorable conditions, each fat cell can increase by 10 times!
At the same time, exercise, a healthy diet and useful habits do not contribute to the destruction of
adipocytes (fat cells), as most people think, and like a hole in a balloon - make them "deflate".
But fat cells are always "on the alert" - in anticipation of the next replenishment.
Do not leave them a chance - choose a healthy lifestyle!
Always have breakfast
The importance of breakfast in maintaining an ideal figure is evidenced by the reports of the National Weight Control Registry, USA.
A healthy hearty breakfast prevents overeating and maintains a state of performance in the morning.
The best breakfast options are complex carbohydrates and protein foods.
These can be cereals with additives from vegetables and fruits, slices of fish or poultry;
dairy products with whole-grain pastries, muesli; steamed omelets and vegetable salads.
Lean on vegetables and fruits
Approximately 50 percent of your diet should be vegetables, berries and fruits.
Sweet fruits can be enjoyed during snacks, satisfying cravings for sweets, as well as cook smoothies and yogurts.
Vegetables that can be eaten raw, it is better to use it this way - preparing salads, supplementing them with main dishes and using them as a basis for vegetable juices.
Due to the low calorie content and a variety of nutrients, raw vegetables help to maintain weight and feel healthy and cheerful.
Drink clean water
A sufficient amount of water is an important condition for the normal functioning of the digestive tract.
Warm water, drunk in the morning on an empty stomach, helps to accelerate metabolism and the process of burning fat.
A glass of water before a meal helps slow down the rate of food absorption, allows the body to
recognize the feeling of satiety in time and not overeat.
In addition, after weight loss, the skin may look "wrinkled", dry.
Maintaining the balance of moisture in the body will improve its condition and help it recover,
become more elastic and beautiful.
Expert comment
- Konstantin Sabonis, author of Doctor Water
Many people are overweight.
We've all heard about calories, BJU, but I want to point out another aspect.
It's water. It would seem, and here is water? Everything is simple.
The feeling of thirst and hunger are the results of low energy levels.
The brain sends us a signal about the lack of water, and people confuse it with the desire to eat.
Agree, no one forgets of us to eat 3-4 times a day, but few drink enough clean water a day.
Therefore, even if we are full, the brain can give a signal, and a person overeats,
as a result of which he gains excess weight.
The second reason is the increased portions when eating.
Taking a glass or several drinking water 20-30 minutes before meals, we will not only saturate
the body with much-needed water, but also do not allow ourselves to overeate.
When we work or are otherwise active, the body, if it does not work properly, intensively asks for sugar.
And many rush to the chocolate, or cover this need with another portion of unscheduled food,
which affects weight.
Water is even a large and important source of energy for a person.
Judge for yourself: without food, a person can live up to 40 days, and without water no more than 3-4 days.
Therefore, instead of snacks to replenish strength, I recommend using clean drinking water. </ b10>
Do not remove all restrictions
The principles of healthy eating, which helped you lose weight, call for giving up fast food, spreads,
semi-finished products and surrogates.
Do not return to such a diet again! Junk food that contains a large amount of sugar and fat,
as well as dangerous food additives - stabilizers, preservatives,
GMOs - is not needed by the body.
As a rule, these are very high-calorie dishes that have the ability to cause appetite.
After eating them, the feeling of satiety does not last long, constantly feel tired.
Beware!
Among the products dangerous for harmony, nutritionists rank not only solid food, but also some drinks.
Give up "Coca-Cola", sweet alcoholic and carbonated drinks, cold bottled tea.
Be careful when choosing packaged juices, they often contain a large portion of sugar.
Love homemade compotes and kvass, juices prepared independently.
Plan meals in advance
To make sure that your diet is balanced and meets the norms of a healthy diet, make a menu in advance.
It is best to do this for a week in advance and buy products immediately in bulk.
Thus, the risk of impulsive purchases, which contribute to weight gain more than others, is reduced.
Plan in advance not only the main dishes, but also snacks.
In your refrigerator should always be nutritious foods of moderate calorie content - natural yogurts,
cottage cheese, fresh fruits and vegetables, biscuits and nuts.

Try to stick to the so-called "Pyramid of Nutrition".
The diet must necessarily include sources of full-fledged animal protein - low-fat varieties of meat, fish,
poultry, cottage cheese, eggs; vegetable protein and complex carbohydrates - cereals,
pasta, whole grain bread, legumes; as well as vegetables and fruits, vegetable oils and nuts.
Eat complex carbohydrates in the morning.
The fact is that if you constantly experience a deficiency of complex carbohydrates - the main sources
of "long-term" energy, then you will inevitably be "pulled" on easily digestible carbohydrates (cakes,
pastries and other confectionery), and all this is fraught with a set of extra pounds.
Установите максимальный для себя вес
Once you set the number of kilograms that is not recommended to exceed,
weekly control the "cherished numbers" on the scales.
The maximum weight should be a few kilograms more than the achieved result.
After all, no matter how much we want another, the weight is not a constant thing, but a variable.
In the cold season, the number of kilograms traditionally increases, and in the warm season it decreases.
In the morning we always weigh less, and in the evening more.
Do not dwell on this, but leave yourself room for maneuvers.
