Part Sixteen: Little Secrets – Weighing Yourself and Showering Before Exercise
Weight measurement
I received an email that read, "I have to lose weight, but I don't know where to start."
To someone who writes to me like this, I first tell them: "The first step is to weigh yourself on the scale."
I've finally decided to lose weight, so I'm really curious to know how much I can lose.
When results are in, it's encouraging, and I look forward to losing weight quickly.
If possible, it is best to weigh yourself several times a day, and especially to develop the habit of weighing yourself before eating, as this can also help curb overeating.
You can't do this often when you're going to school or working, but you should still try your best.
Facing your weight honestly is the first step to losing weight.
Shower before exercise
I usually take a shower after exercising, but I shower before exercising because that makes me sweat more.
The warmth of the body surface causes the sweat glands to open and the body temperature to rise.
Especially in cold weather, it's hard to sweat even when running outside. In those cases, you should definitely try showering before exercising.
People who go for a morning run can activate their sympathetic nervous system and sweat more efficiently after taking a hot shower.
The basic principle of the G-type weight loss method is to restrict water intake while losing weight.
This doesn't mean that drinking less water will help you lose weight. As we all know, water contains no calories, so you won't gain weight no matter how much you drink.
For example, if you lose 500 grams after exercise and eat 500 grams of food, we can't actually see the weight loss effect.
Therefore, in the G-type weight loss method, if you lose 500 grams of weight after exercise, your total intake, including water, should be less than 500 grams.
During my weight loss period, I drank diet cola and soda water because my stomach would bloat and I would feel full easily.
Rice + Total = Dung
For women trying to lose weight, constipation is a serious problem that is difficult to get rid of.
However, constipation is less common in men or people over 40.
Why? It has to do with the amount of carbohydrates you eat.
Of course, it's also important to get enough dietary fiber.
Don't forget that the character for "feces" is composed of "rice" and "together".
Soak in hot springs
Modern people do indeed really enjoy soaking in hot springs.
Patients who come to me for treatment often say afterward, "Doctor, how was the hot spring experience?"
This often frustrates me. "Hey, are you saying that soaking in a hot spring is more effective than seeing me for medical treatment?"
Actually, I also really enjoy soaking in hot springs.
Soaking in a hot spring is more effective for sweating than taking a bath at home, and the latter is more effective for weight loss.
Taking a relaxing half-body bath at home can be quite pleasant, but if you have the time, it's always good to go out for a walk. Soaking in a hot spring can make you sweat a lot and will invigorate your spirits.
Losing weight → daily torment → hardship → giving up.
We can transform the above line of thinking into the following: lose weight → occasionally adjust your mood → soak in a hot spring → revitalize your spirit → continue to lose weight.
However, don't let it turn into: hot spring → rejuvenation → delicious food → overeating → regret.
Shower gel that is effective for weight loss
If you want to sweat more easily when taking a half-body bath, it is recommended that you use a shower gel containing chili pepper ingredients or a shower gel containing hot spring minerals.
Shower gels containing chili peppers can dilate capillaries and promote sweating.
However, it is very irritating to the skin and is not suitable for people with delicate and fragile skin.
Shower gels containing hot spring sediment have good heat retention and excellent perspiration-reducing effects.
When showering, be sure to turn off the exhaust fan. If the bathroom is poorly ventilated, the sweating effect will be halved.
If the environment of the water supply system truly requires the exhaust fan to be turned on, then that should be the priority.
My bra is too tight
What do you do if your bra gets too tight? Buy a bigger one? No, no, I'll definitely keep wearing it! As a reminder to myself.
Look at the flabby flesh sticking out of your bra, and get motivated to lose weight!
"I've gotten so thin that my bra isn't tight anymore." Right? When I buy clothes, I always buy the small size, which is barely a good fit, to put pressure on myself.
Which is wasteful?
"Leftovers are a waste." Indeed, as you said, it's not in line with ecological and environmental protection.
When trying to lose weight, you must learn to resolutely avoid eating even a single extra bite.
You won't lose weight if you eat a full meal at a restaurant or at home.
All the hard work I put into losing weight was wasted because I ate too much. That's such a waste.
If you just eat a little less or one less bite, your weight will drop.
It's well known that obesity increases the risk of disease. Which do you think is more wasteful?
Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about the food problem. If everyone in the world uses being able to hold their food in their full bowls as the standard, then no matter how much food there is, it won't be enough.
This is truly neither ecological nor environmentally friendly.
Method G is the real way to lose weight. Don't indulge your big appetite with large meals. Strive towards your ideal body shape!
