10 Practical Tips for Weight Loss

1. Go to bed early and wake up early. Lack of sleep can lead to reduced secretion of leptin, causing weight gain. Sufficient sleep helps boost metabolism and aids in weight loss.

2. Eat more for breakfast and less for dinner. The three meals can be eaten in a 4:4:2 or 3:4:3 ratio. There should be a variety of foods for breakfast, with smaller portions of each. Eat less for dinner and maintain a light diet.

3. Chew each bite 30 times. Eating slowly helps increase satiety and reduces food intake.

4. Adjust the order of eating. Eat in the order of fruits, soups, vegetables, meat, and staple foods, which makes you full and helps you eat less.

5. Drink more water. Drinking more water helps detoxify and promotes metabolism.

6. Stand after meals. Stand against a wall for 15 to 30 minutes after meals, which can burn calories and aid digestion, preventing stomach problems.

7. Exercise for more than 30 minutes every day. In addition to basic physical activity, you should exercise for at least 30 minutes every day.

8. Do strength training for more than 20 minutes on alternate days. Doing only aerobic exercise is inefficient for weight loss. Doing strength training on alternate days can build muscle, boost metabolism, and improve weight loss efficiency.

9. Record your weight. Weigh yourself every day and adjust your weight loss plan promptly.

10. Satisfy yourself appropriately. Overly suppressing desires can sometimes backfire. Appropriately satisfying your desire to eat is more beneficial for sticking to your weight loss plan.
