Men's psychological strategy for weight loss

TIPS: Why are you out of shape after 30 years old?

Office white-collar men over the age of 30 are particularly at risk of getting fat. The reasons are as follows, please pay special attention.

1. The average man has about 30 billion fat cells in his body. As he ages, these cells become heavier. As a result, almost every man after the age of 30 is always heavier than before. And his genes, hormones and slowed metabolism all began to affect his abdomen.

2. Growth hormone, referred to as HGH, is a natural hormone secreted by the human body itself. Its main role is to promote bone and muscle growth, and also accelerate the burning of body fat. The secretion of HGH decreases with age and rapidly decreases after the age of 30.

So why is it that the closer we get to middle age, the more bloated our body becomes, and our body is difficult to maintain or even deform? Even if we maintain the exercise and eating habits of 20 years old, it is still difficult to maintain our weight standard. The main reason is that the secretion of HGH growth hormone in our body is insufficient, which leads to a natural phenomenon caused by the decrease in the rate of new generation in the body.

3. Sitting for a long time in office, lack of exercise due to work stress;

4. Feeling depressed and seeking comfort from food or alcohol;

5. Weight and the stress you are under will form a vicious cycle: most people under stress are prone to overeating and indigestion, causing weight gain, so the stress is even greater.

Although the laws of nature are irresistible, we can still strive to achieve it through unremitting efforts-control our own body!

Clinton showed off his weight-loss secrets to people around the world, and F4 "showed off" with a male slimming advertisement. The first sign of male beauty is of course a body shape. Although it is not as noisy as women, it is undeniable that men have been secretly working hard to defend their body shape.

If you are depressed that you have been paying attention to your diet for a long time, but you have not lost your weight to the ideal number, I want to ask you a question: During your weight loss, you often imagine your waist returning to the size it was when you graduated from college after stopping dieting.

Wearing a tight T-shirt with shiny fabric, you are secretly happy to make your debut at Party? Or do I weigh myself several times a day, sigh at my belly in the bathroom, and sigh that the years are invincible?

A new concept about weight loss is that the success of weight loss is directly proportional to a person's psychological positivity. People who view themselves with an optimistic attitude are more likely to lose weight successfully and maintain a good shape for a long time after losing weight.

Set the mark: Combating four negative thoughts

Psychologists have summed up four negative mentalities that are not conducive to successful slimming, so you may wish to follow suit. If you find yourself in a painful relationship with them, it is still too late to break up.

Negative thinking 1: absolute dichotomy

Use absolute words such as "right" and "wrong","good" and "bad" to define your behavior. Six days in the week, I strictly pay attention to the diet. One day, I relaxed my stomach because of a party with old friends, and I immediately regretted it and felt that all my previous efforts had been wasted.

Negative Thinking Part 2: Impossible Dreams

Goals are too ambitious and unrealistic, and create setbacks to hit yourself. TONY is about to get married, and he decided to use the last two weeks to make himself lose weight quickly-at least 5 kilograms. Obviously, his goals put too much pressure on him.

Negative thinking 3: demanding on yourself

Treat yourself as an opponent and fight against yourself with a desperate mood. "I will never drink coke again!" "I can never have fried food in my recipe!" "Never take the elevator to the office!" Once unfortunately "broke the precepts", he was immediately annoyed.

Negative thinking 4: Sour grapes psychology

"Why does he eat and drink like a pig and still have the same figure as a model?" "ERIC loves to eat midnight snacks so much, why isn't she fat at all?" One moment is unfair, another moment is "indignant", complaining "why am I the only one who can't lose weight", self-defeating.

Ah Q is right: Three ways to achieve weight-loss spiritual victory

Anxiety and depression can lead to failure in weight loss. Psychologists tip: You need to build a positive thinking style to turn your slimming process from a passive and patient "devil training" to a "happy experience" full of expectations. The following are three scientifically verified "spiritual victory methods" recommended by experts:

Fetish law; let clothes help you. Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to wear dark clothes with vertical stripes to create "visual errors" to comfort yourself. The crux of the matter is that clothes have symbolic significance for people who want to pursue the perfect body.

Psychologists have found that people who have lost weight and later regained weight always have many different sizes of clothes in their closets. Expert advice: Throw away the oversized clothes!

Buy clothes in the size you want. If you want to get in shape, why do you need those big clothes? Just leave them in the closet and you will doubt whether you can succeed, and you may fall back!

Psychological "diet": Food is not a placebo. When people are unhappy, they will comfort themselves with food, because it is much easier to raid the refrigerator than to dig up unhappy emotions.

Therefore, in order to control emotions and relieve stress, you lost control of your body without realizing it. Some professionals believe that if people want to maintain their body shape, they must first solve emotional problems when solving dietary problems. This view is not entirely correct.

So, what method can fundamentally solve this problem? Expert opinion is that excessive diet is related to weak self-concept. We must learn to face problems, be responsible for ourselves, and tell ourselves: I can control the situation, I love my own body, and I have the responsibility and ability to make it more attractive!

Narcissism: Imagine yourself losing weight. Sometimes, having a positive attitude is not enough, but also with positive imagination to make the slimming effect more significant. Experiments have found that when hypertensive patients imagine Hawaii, their blood pressure drops, and cancer patients can imagine white blood cells destroying tumor cells and resisting tumor spread.

In the same way, in order to make yourself lose weight, you can also imagine your body becoming more standard and more beautiful. Psychologists say: "The beginning of successful slimming is when you become confident and self-esteem."

Spend some time thinking about your new image after you're done. Maybe you can start a new relationship while dressing more fashionable and entertaining... Enough self-confidence gives you motivation to say "no" to negative things. Instead of sitting online for 5 hours to pass the time, use this time to go to the gym and get in a better shape.
