Hi ladies,
Here are some great weight loss tips from around the world. You can incorporate them quite easily in your day-to-day lives and see for yourself which one works the best for you.
1. Thailand- spicy food:
Thai cuisine is famous for being the spiciest in the world. Spicy food slows down the eating process and eating slower is a good weight-loss strategy. You also tend to drink more water with spicy foods which would fill you up quickly. Spices in the food also accelerate the weight loss process.
2. United Kingdom- Downsize the supersizing:
The Brits prefer smaller portions of meals. For example, if you are craving, then go for one slice and not a full pizza. If you like something, then eat it, but in moderation.
3. Brazil – side dish of rice and beans:
Brazilians eat rice and beans for almost every meal. Beans have appetite suppressants and this means that they help you fill up more quickly and feel full for a longer period. So, incorporating beans in dishes or salads might be a great idea to lose weight.
4. Germany – never skip your breakfast:
Germans love their breakfast. They believe it is the most important meal of the day. They don’t go for quick bites when it comes to breakfast. They sit down properly to have their fruit and whole-grain cereals and breads. So, skipping breakfast is never a good option.
5. Switzerland- a bowl of muesli:
Swiss people swear by their bowl of muesli for breakfast and also as their light evening snack. Muesli is a porridge or cereal made from oats, fruit, and nuts, each of which has been linked to better health and weight control. So you can try incorporating this in your diet but do not forget to read the labels carefully.
6. Russia – home-cooked meal over store brought one:
When you concentrate on what you eat, you eat less, and eating less with a healthful diet can result in weight loss. Russians grow their own vegetables and fruits and preserve what they grow. This makes their diet natural, healthy and definitely more nutritious. While it may not be possible for you to grow your food but you can definitely go for home-made foods and reduce the frequency of eating out.
7. Japan- take those naps:
The less sleep you get, the lower your leptin levels go and the higher your ghrelin (triggers hunger) rises. Japan is a nation which prides itself on power naps. Their naps last anywhere between 20-30 minutes. Science says that people who have had plenty of rest are able to burn fat at much more efficient levels. Also, there is increasing evidence that chronic sleep deprivation raises the risk of weight gain.
8. South Africa – sip some tea:
Rooibos tea is enjoyed throughout the country. This tea is naturally sweet and is more robust than green tea. The tea helps to regulate fat-storage hormones, lessening the desire to eat when stressed. So if you can find this tea, then definitely give it a go.
9. Indonesia- periodic fasting:
Indonesians are known for periodic fasting. Some Indonesians practice mutih which involves eating only tasteless foods like white rice and drinking water in an effort to survive solely on the necessities. This might not be good for your health to try it every day but you can give it a go once a week to break patterns of mindless eating.
