Before the birth of my first child, I had never suffered from excess weight. During pregnancy, I developed a voracious appetite, and I rapidly began to gain weight. Surprisingly, after giving birth, while breastfeeding, the excess weight began to disappear quickly, but it stopped at 5 kg higher than it was before pregnancy. Over time, I gained another 5 extra pounds. So, with a height of 170 cm, I weighed 75 kg at 32 years old. I was constantly on hormones due to a female disease, but it became clear to me that the pills had no effect on my weight.
One day, while we were visiting, we ate a substantial meal, and one thought began to overcome me: “When will we go home?” because my jeans became tight, and I felt terrible discomfort, despite the fact that I had already loosened the belt on them enough. Then I realized that I needed to take some measures to get in shape.
Catch a wave
As you know, the most difficult thing in the process of losing weight is starting. When I thought about the fact that I had to work on my weight, my mood deteriorated. I came up with various arguments for starting sometime tomorrow or Monday. It seemed to me that I would never be able to make up my mind: I have no willpower, no desire to limit myself in anything, I’m scared to stop eating certain favorite foods, I don’t want to endure hunger after six, etc.
But I was lucky. One day, when I was in the city on business, I wanted to eat. There was no food nearby and I had to do everything very quickly to return home - my daughter was staying with friends, and I had to pick her up. A little time passed, I felt that the attack of hunger had subsided. I was pleased that I could not eat anything at that moment - I did not “feed” my extra pounds.
Arriving home, I felt light in my stomach and when it was time for lunch, I wanted to maintain this feeling, so I ate half my usual portion. It became clear to me that I “caught the wave” - I took advantage of a suitable situation when I naturally could not have a snack, and thereby launched the process of processing my fat reserves. Now I wanted to be on this wave and not jump off it - I had some kind of excitement, it became interesting what would happen if I continued my experiment.
No diets
I have never followed diets to lose weight, “having caught the wave”, I began to listen to my body and follow my feelings. Later, when I threw off everything unnecessary, I came across the opinions of nutritionists and other specialists confirming my understanding, which I came to through experience.
Why didn't I like diets? Firstly, it seemed to me that it was wrong to deprive the body of certain substances, because even fats in proper quantities are important for health. Secondly, I often had to eat away from home, which meant that dietary food might not be available. Thirdly, I didn’t like to go hungry if, for example, the diet prohibits eating after six.
I understood one main thing. Most diets give you hope that you can eat this or that product in unlimited quantities, eat away the feeling of hunger, and fill with this product the space in your stomach that was filled with some high-calorie food. And therefore, when people went off the diet, they began to gain excess weight.
For me, the whole secret was the right attitude towards food. Each of us actually needs much less of it than we consume. Our stomachs are stretched and ask to eat, while the body has already received everything it needs. I decided to “shrink” my stomach by reducing portions so that there was no empty space left in it, and it did not demand to be filled with something else.
I realized that I was stretching my stomach not only with high-calorie food, but also with endless teas and lots of fruit. As Paracelsus said: “Everything is medicine and everything is poison - it’s all a matter of dose.”
Feel your dose
One acquaintance told me how he met an old friend of his who used to be obese. “I look and can’t recognize him,” the man said, “he’s lost several times the weight!” I asked in surprise how he managed to lose all the excess weight, and he answered me: “There is one pill, it’s called “MF.” “I’ve never heard of it, is this a cure for obesity?” “Yes, it stands for: “Eat less.”
So, my path to slimness began by maintaining a feeling of lightness in my stomach. This was the main condition for my weight loss. Moreover, there should have been lightness both immediately after eating and half an hour later. It was easy for me to feel this because I usually ate not as much as I needed to not be hungry, but as much as I could fit.
In the process, I came to an interesting discovery. One day during lunch my phone rang. I only managed to eat half of my portion. When, after talking on the phone for 15 minutes, I returned, I realized that I no longer wanted to eat and I no longer needed to eat what was left. It turns out, as I learned later, the feeling of fullness comes to us 20-30 minutes after the start of a meal. The point is that during this half hour, while we still don’t feel full, we manage to load ourselves with a lot, a lot of unnecessary things that our body no longer requires.
Reduce portion size
The satiety receptors are located at the very top of the stomach. Therefore, the feeling of fullness occurs after the stomach is filled to the top. And people who eat often, but in small portions, have small stomachs. They feel full much earlier; they simply can’t fit in anymore. In 3-4 hours they will be able to enjoy food again without the risk of gaining weight. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce portions to a volume of 250 gram glass, so that our stomach will eventually shrink to this size of 250 ml. After eating just 1 glass of food:
eat little but often
- the stomach is filled to the point of saturation receptors,
- they will send a signal to the brain
- and that’s it, you’re full much faster.
But you can eat next time after 3 hours, even after 2 hours if you get hungry, following Secret 1 Never go hungry. After 5-6 weeks, your stomach will decrease in volume and you will no longer need to eat huge portions to be full. Eat less, lose more without dieting or fasting .
Addition
- I can also recommend doing an exercise to shrink your stomach.
- Listen to the audio meditation. The effect is VERY strong. Trance with the intention of contracting the stomach and returning to harmony. Article - Contraction of the stomach.
Result
As a result, you will learn:
- eat right
- control portion size,
- enjoy food.
and don’t forget about Tip 1 and weigh yourself often. This will help you get to know your body better, make sure that this way of eating works and the extra pounds leave you. Use Tips for Losing Weight, this will help you reduce portions, especially at first. Lose excess weight by changing your eating behavior: eat often, but little, exactly as much as would fit in one glass, including liquid. It is very important!!! The serving size includes liquid! Liquid with food also enters the stomach, and we need to make the stomach shrink, shrink. So that we are satisfied with a small amount of food. This means we eat often, but not enough!
Stretching out the pleasure
At first, I lost weight quite quickly: I lost several kilograms a week. Friends who saw me within a week of each other noticed changes in my appearance.
Having learned that satiety is felt half an hour after the start of a meal, I realized that it is important to either stretch out a small portion for half an hour so as not to eat too much, or eat and endure the deceptive feeling of hunger, which will last for 20-30 minutes after eating. It all depends on how much time I have to eat.
It was easier for me to stretch out my meals: sit slowly, chew my portion in tiny pieces, don’t drink tea immediately after eating - prolong the pleasure by putting the kettle on a little later. But when I needed to eat quickly, I always had something sweet at the end “to fill me up.” I noticed that even a small snack satisfies hunger if you eat a small candy or other dessert after it.
My rules for eating away
The hardest thing for me was to figure out how to eat at a party. Usually, when we are invited to visit, we communicate at the table. This takes an average of 2-3 hours, and all this time we have different goodies standing in front of us and want to chew something.
I came up with several rules for eating at a party, which helped me not to refuse food, try absolutely everything I want, and chew for 2-3 hours without overeating. The most joyful thing for me was to feel that my jeans were no longer digging into my stomach, that I felt light and did not have to worry that I had gained another fold of fat in one evening. Here are my rules:
1. Just try everything that is on the table, without trying to get enough of it. For example, there are a lot of different sweets in a vase and you want to try each variety; there are 2 types of cakes, pastries and various other desserts on the table. If you eat all the candies you want to try, a piece of cake, and one of each dessert, it will definitely be too much. So I take the candy, cut off a piece of it, and give the rest to my husband (friend, child) to try. It’s the same with all piece sweets. I just cut the cakes into tiny pieces. It turned out that I tried absolutely everything I wanted without overeating.
2. Eat salads and other savory dishes with a small spoon (or scoop with a large spoon, but just a little at a time), chewing slowly, not forgetting to communicate. I liked eating salads: it’s very convenient to prick one pea at a time with a fork and chew it - you could eat a spoonful of Olivier for quite a long time.
3. Don't drink food. This fills, stretches the stomach and ultimately gives incredible heaviness. In addition, when from the very beginning of the meal I began to wash down my food, then I wanted to do it all the time.
4. Drink tea in small sips. Also because an empty mug from quickly drunk tea means that they will pour you more, and this is an extra 200-300 ml. fluid in your stomach.

First try to reduce your usual portion by 1 - 2 spoons. Well, in general, just try to eat as little sweets and fatty foods as possible and rarely drink beer.

A man needs to play sports and move. Be sure to read Montignac. When I read it, I was inspired - I lost 15 kg in 2 months. You get used to it. You can run in the morning - then, for example, I feel sick all day and don’t feel like it.
It is important!
Pills don't help, don't waste your money. In general, fighting appetite is a rather useless exercise - it will win. You need to change your diet, not with your diet, but with your choice of foods. In Montignac you can eat almost to your heart's content.
The main thing is what to eat.

Take a small plate, eat slowly, they say hunger disappears after 20 minutes, then eat a little and watch some house 2, or a comedy club, in short, entice yourself

But there’s no way... Even if you don’t eat at all, you can only lose weight within 2-3 days... Or rather, this is what your body will do - let you know that you’re losing weight... But THEN there will be a backlash... Well, for example... That’s not you eat for a day, two, three... then you give something to your stomach...
and instead of digesting everything like a decent person and distributing what is useful to you, what is not useful into the toilet, he begins to assimilate what is not useful with the thought: “What if a few more days don’t give me anything, so at least I can live on this...” And a metabolic disorder begins substances, hormonal levels, etc., etc.
Will you immediately remember the saying “to swell from hunger”? Do you need it? Read the people who answered above (or below..., in short, before me)... I agree about oatmeal, about chewing thoroughly, too, about mineral water and about more movement... But I DO NOT agree that you can’t lose weight on pills! It’s possible, but you can’t buy these pills in a regular pharmacy, and such treatment costs about $200 a month.

I personally tested it and it works! But the process is serious, not just one day. In general, you need to fall in love! This is always beneficial! True, then you will “dry”...))))))))))))))))

Drink more regular water (Sometimes our body confuses the feeling of hunger and thirst) and use dishes in cold colors (blue, light blue, green). This will psychologically reduce your appetite.

Expert (434) 1 year ago To lose weight, you need to teach your body to eat every 3 hours so that it doesn’t feel hungry and doesn’t stock up. The scheme is this: we divide our usual portion of food in half, eat half immediately, half after 2-3 hours. In total, instead of 3 meals, we end up with 6. When we get used to eating like this, we divide the portion into two again, and do not increase the number of meals. And it turns out that we eat half as much as before, but we don’t feel hungry. Therefore, the transition is very easy. You can read more in the article, it is described more clearly https://pforw.ru/pravilnoe_pitanie/edim_menshe/

What we see and what we think
Most of my excess weight went away in the first month. In the second, I lost weight more slowly, because... there is little fat left. My friends, who tried to become slim with the help of various pills, did not believe me that I was losing weight without drugs. It seemed to them that it was impossible to achieve such results just like that. Someone considered me a super-strong-willed woman, and someone, when meeting me, asked me a question: “What’s wrong with you, you’ve lost so much weight! You are ill?"
Coinciding with the period of losing weight was the need to take my daughter to an early development school, which was a forty-minute drive from our house. Just at that time, her classes began at 12.30, therefore, we left at about 11.30 - a time when we still didn’t want to have lunch. I fed my daughter, had a light snack before leaving, and we hit the road. We returned home closer to dinner. So 3 times a week I went without lunch.
During this period, I “squeezed” all the juices out of myself and weighed 60 kg. I understood that this was an abnormal weight for my body, because I felt constantly slightly dizzy. In addition, this weight affected my face - I began to look not as fresh as before.
Another discovery for me was that not only the food you see can trigger active processes in the body, causing appetite, but even talking about food. At early childhood school, we talked with other moms while we waited for our children to finish their classes. I noticed that closer to lunch time our conversations smoothly turned to gastronomic topics: we shared recipes, advised each other on delicious dishes, etc. After that, my stomach began to hurt, as one mother put it, “it was devouring itself” - talking about food developed my imagination and, therefore, stimulated my appetite.
From further experience, I realized that in order to stop wanting to eat an extra pie, which seduces you with its appearance and makes you salivate, you just need to move away from it and not see the object of temptation. And, of course, it is advisable to switch your thoughts from food to something else. Literally after a few minutes the desire to eat something else goes away, even if it was so strong that it seemed impossible to resist.
Now I know exactly what to eat to lose weight
Author Olga Parfenova | 2012-04-11
Having returned from another trip, I had a lot of long work ahead of me at the computer, at home I was a mess, I couldn’t buy Herbalife products, and I needed to lose a couple of kg
What to eat to lose weight while staying at home? There is a lot of work, and all of it is urgent. I won’t have time to go to stores, so everything should be at hand (due to long trips, there were no food supplies at home). I didn’t have the opportunity to order Formula 1 cocktails from Herbalife for breakfast, but I had half a jar..
I make two “runs” - one to the market, the other to the store, with the goal of “stocking up” on groceries for the month. I'm alone at home, no one bothers me, I can start!
A month passed, and, without expecting it, I lost 1.5 kg, minus 4 cm in the waist! At the same time, the food was nourishing and tasty! Without exhausting yourself with physical activity.
What's the secret? The obvious fact is in the right products. Now I know exactly what I need to eat to lose weight easily, comfortably, without straining and without starving.
What to eat to lose weight
I provide you with a list of all the products, down to the smallest detail, that I bought:
- unrefined olive and soybean oil;
- butter;
- salt, pepper, various seasonings, soy sauce;
- buckwheat, oatmeal;
- sugar, green tea, sweets;
- potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, garlic, sauerkraut, fresh cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers of 3 colors, tomatoes;
- apples, oranges, tangerines, kiwi, papaya, lemon;
- dried apricots and prunes, nuts of all kinds;
- chicken breast fillet, turkey meat, minced beef;
- fish Bass and Chum salmon, squid;
- egg;
- honey;
- kefir 1.5% and bread “gray” or with bran
Interesting: Exercising at home for weight loss every day
All! And I didn’t buy anything else (I only went to the store for bread and kefir a couple of times a week).
Now I know exactly what to eat to lose weight
It may seem to you that this is a lot of products - a whole carload, but this is not so: there is a little of everything, the main thing is a wide choice and the right one. I didn’t have a goal to choose foods based on losing weight, I chose healthy foods.
To save time on preparing food and “destroying” it, I cooked it in the microwave. It's fast and convenient.
- Opened the refrigerator
- I took products that caught my eye, for example: 200 grams of fish (or minced meat, or meat), 300 grams of various vegetables.
- I cut it into pieces, added a little vegetable oil, salted it, seasoned it, and put it in the microwave.
- 20 minutes - lunch is ready! It’s delicious – you won’t be able to pull it off by the ears!
I also cooked borscht in the microwave. After a major renovation, my kitchen was not yet equipped, and the microwave helped me out a lot. I snacked 2-3 times - sometimes dried fruits, sometimes an apple, sometimes nuts.
The mode was like this:
- I got up in the morning, drank a glass of water (I always add a slice of lemon to a 2-liter carafe), washed my face,
- I eat a teaspoon of honey,
- I do exercises (the simplest exercises that they taught in school to stretch the bones and tone the muscles),
- I take a contrast shower,
- I make a Formula 1 cocktail (I saved - 1 tablespoon per serving),
- I sit down at the computer.
I prepare my own meals twice during the day, have a snack between meals, and drink a carafe of water throughout the day.
Why did I lose weight? The answer is in the set of products that was in my refrigerator and in small but frequent portions!
Conclusion: you need to initially know what products to buy. Whatever you buy, you will cook from it. Before you go grocery shopping, make a list. This will become a good habit later.
Try it, maybe you will succeed! You now know from my experience what you need to eat to lose weight.
