12 slimming meals a day: From hot chocolate to post-meal coconut
**12 Slimming Diets a Day**
>
> 12 times? Yes, 12 times, you read that right.
We're too busy to go to the gym, don't want to take diet pills, and don't want to bother calculating our daily calories. No problem! Just follow the instructions below every day, and you can eat more and lose weight.

1. Let hot chocolate be the prelude to your day.
>
Many people crave a strong cup of coffee when they wake up in the morning, but Dr. Samantha Heller, a senior clinical nutritionist in the United States, points out that a cup of hot chocolate (containing about 110 calories and 10% of the daily calcium requirement) or orange juice (containing about 109 calories and 15% of the daily folic acid requirement) might be a better choice.
He pointed out that caffeine may give you a temporary sense of alertness, but it doesn't last long.
If you want to stay awake all morning, you need to consume enough calories. A cup of chocolate or orange juice, plus a cup of yogurt or a piece of fruit can meet this need.

2. Did you take your calcium supplement today?
>
Studies have found that consuming 600 milligrams of calcium daily (separately in the morning and evening) can help the body accelerate fat burning.
Experiments have shown that, under the same conditions, women who eat in this way can lose 22% more weight and 61% more fat, including 81% more abdominal fat!

3. Sweet and sour plum juice
>
Sour plums contain anthocyanins, a substance that helps the body effectively eliminate fat and toxins.
A glass of plum juice can speed up the body's "cleansing process," quickly expelling substances from the liver that may cause obesity.
>
4. Water, one cup after another.
>
This is a well-worn topic: insufficient water intake leads to a drop in body temperature, causing the body to start storing fat, which becomes harder to break down.
Nutrition experts recommend that you absorb 31.3 ml of water per kilogram of body weight. Calculate how much you need to drink, but be careful not to drink more than 300 ml of water at a time.
>
5. Delightful Peanuts
>
Eating a handful of peanuts about an hour before lunch can help reduce your calorie intake by 333 calories.
>
> 6. Pre-noon coffee
>
Drinking a cup of coffee (preferably black coffee) 30 minutes before lunch can effectively control your appetite at lunchtime.
You can only eat 3/4 of your usual amount, and a thermogenic substance called xanthine in coffee can speed up fat burning by 5%, while also providing your body with enough calories.
>
7. Fermented foods to satisfy hunger
>
Eating fermented foods makes people feel less hungry and can keep them going for at least an hour longer than eating regular food.
Because during fermentation, starches and sugars are broken down into components that are not easily digested, and the digestive system needs more time to digest them, so you are less likely to feel hungry.
However, it's important to note that when eating fermented foods, it's best to avoid consuming protein-rich foods. This is because fermented foods and starchy foods require different digestive enzymes and environments, which can easily hinder each other's digestion, causing blockages in the stomach and resulting in bloating.

8. Warm water and honey are a little sweet.
>
Drinking a spoonful of honey dissolved in warm water at noon can adjust your blood sugar to a normal level within 20 minutes and maintain it for about 2 hours, reducing hunger and calming your emotions.
>
9. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
>
Eat a piece of fruit at least half an hour before dinner; apples are a good choice. This will help you avoid overeating at dinner and will also aid digestion.
>
10. Spicy Dinner
>
Adding some spicy foods to your meals, such as chili peppers, black pepper, or ginger, can increase your body's fat-burning ability by 25%, and this high-speed metabolic state can last for more than 3 hours after a meal.
>
11. Drink an extra cup of oolong tea
>
Developing a habit of drinking oolong tea will make your metabolism work faster, increase the number of calories your body burns by 3% and the amount of fat consumed by 10%, and oolong tea has no calories, no fat and no sodium.
>
12. Coconut after the meal
>
Coconut is one of the best natural sources of fatty acids. If you feel hungry after a meal, you can eat a coconut, which will transport fatty acids directly to the liver and increase the liver's rate of calorie burning by 50%.
