How to lose 2 clothing sizes quickly?

It is rare to find a person who is completely satisfied with his appearance. Everyone is always missing something to achieve their ideal of beauty. In particular, women are worried about “extra”, from their point of view, centimeters. The desire to quickly lose weight by two sizes relentlessly haunts them on the eve of the holidays or the summer season.

There is no universal way to lose extra pounds that would be suitable for absolutely all people. This is due not only to the individual characteristics of each person’s body, but also to the life position of the individual. Some are very active and make every effort to achieve their goal, others look for easier ways and ignore any physical activity.

The exhausting pace of modern life cannot be ignored. There is simply not enough time to visit beauty salons or a fitness club. That's why methods of losing weight at home have become so popular recently. There are not as many of them as various diets, but they are very effective.

Thanks to modern cosmetology, long-forgotten, but very popular in the distant past procedures - wraps - have come out of oblivion. They are very effective in terms of burning fat and are now carried out both in beauty salons and at home. If you are worried about the thought: how to lose weight by 2 sizes, you need to pay attention to wraps. Perhaps the best of them is vinegar. It intensively burns fat, and the results are noticeable, in the vast majority of cases, after the first procedure.

The wrapping process itself is quite simple. It is quite possible to do it yourself. You need to prepare a scrub, a sheet, cling film, warm blankets, and the vinegar solution in advance. To prepare it, you need to dilute apple cider vinegar and water in a ratio of 1: 2. First of all, you need to prepare the skin with a scrub. This will activate blood circulation, remove dirt and open pores.

Then you should quickly take a shower, soak a sheet in the prepared solution and wrap it around your body. You can use cloth bandages to wrap your legs and arms. After which all parts of the body are wrapped again, but with cling film. Then you need to lie down under warm blankets and spend at least two hours in this position.

Vinegar wrap was one of the best recipes in the beauty arsenal of today's great-grandmothers. They knew about the incredible benefits of this procedure for improving the appearance of the skin, its elasticity and velvety. This is one of the best procedures with which you can quickly lose weight.

If the question: how to lose weight by two sizes does not allow you to live in peace, you should not despair: there is a great way that will help you cope with the troubling problem. Baths with mustard are very effective and give quick results. This is a very serious procedure, and all the recommendations below must be followed.

First of all, you should remember that any baths for weight loss are taken only in a sitting position. Water with the active composition should not reach the heart area. There is one small peculiarity in the mustard procedure: the fumes from the bath are so caustic that they severely irritate the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes. Therefore, after diving, it is recommended to cover the entire area above the surface of the water with a sheet or light blanket.

Mustard baths have a number of contraindications: they should not be taken by people with cancer, skin, cardiovascular, kidney, gynecological, pulmonary and bronchial diseases. To prepare the active composition for the procedure, mustard powder is used, 150 g of which must be diluted in a small amount of water until creamy.

Then this mass is thoroughly mixed in no more than 200 liters of water. Its temperature should not exceed 16 C*. The procedure time is 10 minutes. After the bath, you need to take a shower to wash off the remaining mustard mixture and put on warm underwear or pajamas.

The question: how to lose weight for a beginner has a very simple solution. Absolutely any method will help anyone who has decided to lose extra pounds for the first time. The secret here is that the body has not yet adapted to any type of influence, so it will respond to the most light loads.

It is usually most difficult for those who adhere to a medium-calorie diet to achieve good results in losing weight. To get the processes that promote fat burning off the ground, they have to put in a lot of effort. If in such a situation you begin to practice fasting days, this can lead to a slowdown in metabolism and, accordingly, inhibition of the processes of breakdown of fat cells.

Therefore, it is best for such people to focus on external influences, which through the skin will trigger the processes of cleansing the body, restoring its ability to self-regulate and activate metabolism. The best remedies here are baths for weight loss, wraps and swaddling.

You can take a course of algae wraps, widely known for their effectiveness in the fight against fat and cellulite. To do this, you need to buy kelp thalli at the pharmacy, soak them in water for 1 hour and carry out the wrapping procedure with them.

We must not forget what an amazing effect a bath has for weight loss. If you conduct swaddling and wrapping sessions in it, the effect will increase many times over. And there is no need to talk about how much the skin condition will improve thanks to the steam room. If the goal is to quickly lose weight, then you must include a set of physical exercises in the course you choose to get rid of fat. Swing movements are especially important in it.

The body spends a lot of energy on their implementation, which it replenishes from its reserves, getting rid of which is the goal pursued by a person. Overload should not be allowed, especially for beginners. But if this happens, you can take a mustard bath.

It relieves muscle pain very well and restores vigor. Regardless of the type of procedure chosen for weight loss, it is advisable to combine it with moderation in food consumption. The intake of flour products and those saturated with fats and carbohydrates should be reduced. Thus, the process of burning fat will happen faster and safer.

During the procedures, you need to carefully monitor your well-being. Any deviations should serve as a signal to analyze the cause of the failure and replace the method of getting rid of extra pounds with another, more acceptable one. In an effort to quickly lose weight, many, regardless of their health status, immediately jump to radical methods that have a strong effect on the body. But you shouldn’t joke with him, lest you end up with more serious problems later.

How to lose weight? Easily! 5 sizes in 5 monthsVladimir Mirkin, 2011

Changing eating behavior

So, if you have identified any eating disorders during testing, all you have to do is eliminate them by developing the correct eating pattern for yourself.

If you discover conditioned or psychogenic overeating, in order to normalize your eating behavior, and therefore, to correct your weight, you need to change your eating habits. To do this, I suggest you do the following.

Choose a serious motive for treatment.

Before you start normalizing your weight, you must finally decide for yourself whether you need this treatment or not.

Why did you decide to go on a diet? Choose the most significant reason. Moreover, the desire to lose weight should come only from you, and not from people close to you.

You must make the decision yourself, since later during diet therapy this will save you from the so-called struggle of motives: to eat or not to eat. Choosing a meaningful reason for treatment gives the process specificity and purpose. Because if a person is not firm in his decision to lose weight, motives may appear that justify eating disorders: holidays, the arrival of guests, birthdays, etc. Thus, the basis for a breakdown is often the absence of a serious reason for losing weight.

I suggest you choose the most significant reasons for losing weight from the list.

1. Restoration of health: disappearance of shortness of breath when walking and physical activity, heart pain, high blood pressure, drowsiness and lethargy, pain in the spine and joints.

2. Getting rid of the inferiority complex: “I’m not like everyone else,” “I’m worse than everyone else because I’m fat,” etc.

3. Improving the level of quality of life: restoration of performance, endurance, improvement of appearance, the opportunity to play sports, wear fashionable clothes.

4. The desire to have a slim figure in order to increase your attractiveness and sexuality and no longer feel embarrassed about your full figure.

5. The desire for love, creating a family, the desire to have children.

6. The desire to have an ideal figure that meets certain standards.

7. The desire for rejuvenation.

8. Fear of early old age.

9. Self-esteem.

10. Striving for professional growth, respect from colleagues.

11. The desire to lift one’s mood, get rid of depressive disorders associated with excess weight, and normalize sleep.

Establish the correct nutritional pattern.

If during testing you have identified a complete lack of control over your eating, as a result of which you have developed conditioned (habitual) overeating, you need to make the following changes in your behavior.

1. Strictly follow the generally accepted nutritional structure (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner). You should eat only at a certain time and in a certain place. It is necessary to avoid casual meals in cafes, snack bars, or in the company of friends. At the same time, you should not skip taking it, because if you get hungry, it will be more difficult for you not to break down.

2. Find an alternative to food. If you have a lot of free time on the weekend, you can fill it with other activities that will distract you from eating. For example, clean your apartment, read a book or favorite magazine, take a shower, or take a walk in the fresh air. Finally, go to the hairdresser or get your nails done. In any case, all these actions will distract you from the obsessive thought of eating something tasty.

3. In order to avoid excessive food consumption, it is necessary to eat slowly, for at least 20 minutes, since during this time the body becomes full. You need to start eating with light low-calorie dishes (salads, soups). After them, a person, as a rule, eats less high-calorie food. While eating, you can pause for 3-5 minutes to extend the eating time.

4. To increase control over your diet, it is useful to keep a diary of your daily calorie intake. It is necessary to record in detail all the products and dishes that you ate. While eating, you need to think about food and not be distracted by watching TV shows or reading books.

5. If you suddenly have a strong desire to eat something at certain periods of the day, you should know that this state lasts only a few minutes. Try to do something at this moment (call a friend on the phone, listen to your favorite music), and it will quickly pass. The threat of disruption will disappear.

6. If you suffer from psychogenic overeating, you need to get rid of the habit of relieving emotional stress and elevating your mood with food. You also need to give up the habit of eating not only when you are hungry. You need to learn to distinguish hunger from a bad mood, give up the habit of “eating” a bad mood and eat not only when you are hungry. It is also necessary to learn how to relieve emotional stress with the help of autogenic training, self-hypnosis, self-persuasion, physical exercise, walking, listening to music (see the chapter “Self-persuasion against excess weight”).

7. If you suffer from nighttime overeating, you need to restore the disrupted daily rhythm of eating. With this eating disorder, patients do not eat anything in the first half of the day. The main food consumption shifts to the evening and night time. Therefore, it is necessary to restore proper nutrition so that in the evening you do not experience severe hunger. In addition, you need to learn to relax without the help of food (see the chapter “Self-persuasion against excess weight”).

8. You must change your thinking, and with it your eating behavior will change. This, in turn, is a real chance to defeat obesity.

First, you must admit your guilt for the unhealthy eating behavior and lifestyle that contributed to your excess weight. You yourself made the wrong choice, and therefore are responsible for it. It is these two factors (awareness of responsibility and acceptance of guilt) that will help you change your attitude towards nutrition and your health. Food shouldn't dominate your life. It is you who needs to change, since the problem of excess weight is inside you. If you do this, it will be solved. Only this approach gives you a chance to lose weight. Fighting excess weight through your own change is the only path to success!

In addition, you must understand the reason for your obesity. If you believe that heredity, improper metabolism, endocrine diseases, stressful situations, etc. are to blame for everything, and at the same time completely exclude your fault in the development of the disease, it will be difficult for you to defeat it. Until you admit that the reason for your failures lies in your actions, in your lack of faith in yourself, in defeatism, in laziness and lack of will, you will never change.

But this is not enough. You must also have the desire to change. In other words, you need to have a commitment to treatment and feel in your heart a fighting spirit aimed at fighting extra pounds. Knowledge about all the intricacies of proper eating behavior is very important. But they are dead and useless if the fire of change is not lit in your soul and you do not experience a true desire to normalize your weight, which will encourage you to actively participate in this process and strive to achieve positive results. A formal attitude towards treatment is unacceptable, since with it you do not make any effort. You will never achieve positive results, because your desire to lose weight will be blocked by lack of will and laziness, as well as doubt about success.

You need to believe in yourself and the weight loss method you have chosen. And don't forget about the treatment motives that I talked about earlier.

9. If you abuse fat-forming foods and experience an increased craving for high-carbohydrate foods (sweets, chocolate, cakes, etc.), you need to divide all foods into prohibited and permitted. The first group includes flour products, including bread, all cereal dishes, potatoes and sweets. The second includes foods that do not form fat: meat (except fried pork), poultry (except fried duck), fish (all types), eggs, shellfish and crustaceans (mussels, oysters, squid, shrimp, crabs), dairy products ( milk and kefir up to 3.2% fat, all types of cheeses), vegetables, sweet and sour fruits, salad herbs, parsley, green beans, cabbage, asparagus, cauliflower, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts. 1 0. You must choose a new eating behavior pattern for yourself. I offer you a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet (elimination diet) that I developed, which you should follow for the rest of your life. Its essence is as follows: wherever you are - visiting, on the road, at an anniversary - in the first course you exclude the grounds, in the second - the side dish, in the third - the sweet. In this case, there is no need to carry out special processing of food; eat from the common table. Therefore, even if a little vegetable fat gets into the food, it does not matter much. This will even soften the rigidity of the diet and allow you to use it constantly. For example, for breakfast you can eat 100 g of meat (100 g of sausage, 100 g of cutlets) or 100 g of fried fish, but without a side dish and without bread (carbohydrates are excluded). You can also drink a glass of tea or coffee without sugar.

During lunch, in the first course you exclude the grounds, that is, only broth remains, which is good for digestion and creates a feeling of fullness for a short time. In the second (meat, fish) - a side dish (porridge, potatoes, pasta, noodles). Instead, use vegetable salad (cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes - 130 g). Also, instead of a side dish, you can eat green peas (no more than once a week), green beans, radish salad, radishes, fresh frozen vegetable mixtures (Mexican fresh frozen salad “Hortino”, Chinese mixture of fresh frozen vegetables, etc.). For lunch, a piece of bread (25 g) is allowed. The third dish is again without sugar. If the juice or compote is very sweet, it can be diluted with water.

For dinner, you use the same scheme as for breakfast: 100 g of meat or fish without bread, plus a glass of kefir. Additionally, you are allowed to eat an apple or tangerine, orange.

The amount of water allowed is up to 1500 ml per day.

The elimination diet I developed is designed for an average of 1500–1600 kcal. Thanks to her, many of my patients have achieved excellent results in normalizing weight. Thousands of people loved it for its low cost and ease of preparation. I called it folk because everyone can use it, regardless of their material level.

In the diet I recommend, I do not limit salt, flavorings, or water. I make an exception for patients who suffer from concomitant diseases. It should be remembered that a diet with a limited content of saturated fat foods is often poor in vitamins A and D. Therefore, to prevent vitamin deficiency, I advise consuming vegetable oil. I also recommend fresh or sauerkraut salads to many of my patients, since a lack of plant fiber can lead to constipation, the development of atherosclerosis, and diabetes.

If you feel like eating a lot between meals, you can use vegetables with a 3% carbohydrate content as ballast. These include cabbage, beets, radishes, bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. You must learn to navigate the quality (protein, fat, carbohydrate content) and energy value of food, and most importantly, learn to distinguish permitted foods from prohibited ones. What is this difference? First of all, you should know that any protein food (meat, fish, eggs, kefir, milk, cottage cheese, eggs) is allowed, and fats and carbohydrates are prohibited.

Products are relatively legal if they contain acceptable amounts of fat or carbohydrates. With an increase in the amount of fat or carbohydrates in food, it becomes more prohibited, and with a decrease, it becomes more permitted. For example, permitted food is milk with a fat content of no more than 3.2% or cheese with a fat content of up to 40%. Vegetables containing up to 3% carbohydrates (radishes, lettuce, cucumbers, etc.) are absolutely allowed. Vegetables containing 6–8% carbohydrates (green peas) are relatively allowed. And vegetables containing 20% ​​carbohydrates (potatoes, corn, mature beans) are prohibited. Thus, any type of product can be either permitted or prohibited depending on the percentage of fat or carbohydrates in it.

Table 1.

Permitted and prohibited products

Amazing transformation!

Thus, the elimination diet I proposed is very simple, affordable and does not require special food processing. At the same time, a small amount of fat is allowed into the first dish (along with the frying), which, in turn, well reduces the feeling of hunger. If you decide to lose weight according to my diet, you will not need to prepare it specially, count the number of calories, carbohydrates, proteins and fats. You only need to exclude the grounds in the first course, the side dish in the second, and the sweet in the third, while eating from the common table. You can learn more about the elimination diet in one of my previous books.

11. To increase the effectiveness of treatment, it is necessary to carry out fasting days (kefir, milk, apple, etc.) 1–2 times a week.

12. How to maintain weight?

The simplicity and accessibility of my diet allows me to follow it throughout my life. To maintain the restored weight, you need to continue to be wary of forbidden foods and maintain proper nutrition. You can eat from a common table, while excluding carbohydrates. This principle allows you to use an exclusion diet in any conditions. Always try to discreetly leave prohibited foods on the plate (side dish) so that others do not know about it. If you get used to a new eating pattern, this will guarantee that you will not gain excess weight in the future. This takes time. Usually the process of getting used to a new diet lasts about 2-3 months. This period is equal in time to the course of treatment in my psychotherapeutic groups. During this period, my patients go to the Ex-Fat Club and learn new eating behaviors. Most importantly, they receive treatment here that helps them maintain their diet. As a rule, if the patient tolerates it during the first 2-3 months, then he quickly gets used to the new diet and in the future can easily maintain such a diet throughout his life. In one of my previous books, I described in detail the work of the “Clubs of Former Fat People”, the main goal of which is the formation of an active attitude towards treatment, as well as maintaining the restored weight. Many of their members have become former fat men and have not recovered for 10–15 years. All of them at one time learned to eat properly and over time got used to new eating behavior.

13. Where to start?

So you've decided to lose weight. But how to survive this diet marathon? At first it seems to you that this is impossible and that you have set yourself an impossible, almost fantastic task. The process of losing weight seems unrealistic to you. And in order for it to become real, you need to get closer to it. Start with some action. In the beginning, you have to prove to yourself that you are capable of something. For example, start with a fasting day. The night before, buy 1 liter of kefir, and in the morning, instead of the usual sausage, drink a glass of it. 2-3 hours will pass, and you will see that nothing bad has happened to you and you can easily endure the fasting day. And you will have a chance, a new perspective in life. The fire of hope will ignite in your heart. And if you follow his call and continue the diet, you will definitely lose weight. You just need to take the first step on the path to health.

In addition, you need to set yourself up to lose weight. Already in the morning you must make a firm decision to stick to the diet at all costs. A dialogue with yourself may sound something like this: “No matter what happens, I will still stick to the diet. Even if the weather is bad, or I have troubles at work, or I have a fight with my husband, or my son gets a bad grade, I still won’t break my diet. Nothing will lead me astray. Because I made a firm decision to lose weight.” As a rule, patients who made such a decision in the morning easily maintained the diet. This happened because they made a choice for themselves. Because if a person has done it, he calms down internally and, most importantly, knows what he wants. Thus, you cut off all escape routes. You are no longer tormented by the internal struggle: to eat or not to eat.

You can’t set yourself up like this: “I’ll try to stick to the diet if something doesn’t bother me, if guests don’t come, if my husband doesn’t get drunk, if my relationship with my boss doesn’t deteriorate, etc.” This is an incorrect setting. Because if you just try, you will definitely fail, since in this case you allow the possibility of violating the diet. And there will always be reasons for this. I will talk in detail about how to properly set yourself up in the chapter “Self-conviction against excess weight.”

In conclusion, I want to tell you the following: learn to control your diet, think about what you eat. And one more thing - choose a good reason for losing weight. Lose weight for someone or something, and success is guaranteed!
