Dietary principles:

Control staple foods and limit sweets

If the original food intake is large, the staple food can be reduced by 50 grams from three meals a day. Try to eat less or no foods that contain too much starch and are extremely sweet, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, lotus root starch, jam, honey, candies, preserves, malted milk, and juice desserts. Non-staple foods can include lean meat, fish, eggs, soy products, vegetables and fruits with less sugar content, etc.

Reduce caloric intake

Nutritionists believe that no matter what you control - protein, carbohydrates or fat, what ultimately reduces is caloric intake. If a person consumes 800 fewer calories per day, they can lose 10 pounds in 6 weeks.

Eat 500 fewer calories and you can lose 10 pounds in 2 and a half months. But be careful not to lose weight too quickly, otherwise it will be very dangerous. It should be noted that each person must consume at least 1,200 kcal of calories per day. If too little calories are supplied to the body, muscle will be lost. Muscles are the key for the human body to consume calories and promote metabolism.

Reduce food intake

If you want to lose weight, you don’t have to give up your favorite foods. The important thing is to control them. If you prefer a certain food and eat a large amount, you should pay attention to reducing the portion each time. Instead of consuming 200 grams of meat 4 times a week, eat 100 grams each time. In this way, you can consume 1,200 fewer calories and significantly reduce your weight in about 7 and a half months. It is recommended that dieters place a scale in the kitchen and post a warning sign to remind themselves of the weight of food intake.
