Much has been written about weight loss. There is a huge amount of advice, nutritional supplements and tricks available that should help you get a fitter body and better health. Today we present simple tricks for weight loss, which are rarely talked about, but which even our grandmothers would vouch for and approve of without any worries.
Here are weight loss tricks that even our grandmother would stand behind.
1. Exclude the word "diet" from our vocabulary and never talk about it again.
This alone can help us lose weight without torturing our bodies with starvation, processed diet foods, fasting and purging, all for the sake of losing weight today, which has a yo-yo effect tomorrow.
2. We take care of regular exercise, but do not exercise like crazy.
The whole concept of a "caloric deficit" will surely only slow down our metabolism, which will not guarantee weight loss or long-term health. What really helps with weight loss? A surplus of healthy nutrients, enough to support our bodies and everything we do with them.
3. If we have an overwhelming desire for a cookie, let's eat a cookie. Or ice cream.
Our body communicates with us and always warns us what it needs and how we can get it. Let's eat what we crave, as long as it's real food. Let's discover ways to make delicious foods like ice cream or cookies that will help you lose weight, not gain it.
4. Let's get a good night's sleep. (Ps: Food can help us sleep better)
Poor sleep, difficulty falling asleep or waking up in the middle of the night are indicators that our body is "running" on stress and not on "fuel".

5. Let's get rid of the routine.
If we feel that we have fallen into a routine in life and if we do not intend to get rid of the routine, then it is also unlikely that our weight loss will be successful.
6. Let's not count calories and rather laugh at the weight loss methods that encourage it.
If we need something to count, then let's count the chemicals in the food we eat and try to keep that number to a minimum.
7. Let's detoxify our home.
Let's get rid of toxic things that surround us in our home or that we regularly apply to our body.
8. Let's love our liver.
The liver has a huge impact on our health, and especially on our body's ability to lose weight. Therefore, it is necessary to find out whether our liver also slows down our weight loss, and if this is the case, then we must take care of liver detoxification.

9. Put yourself first and eat regularly.
Weight gain usually occurs when we ignore our body and its demands. Let's make sure we are giving our bodies high quality nutrients/food, not various supplements.
10. Let's listen to our body.
Let's not ignore what our body wants to tell us. If we are still ignoring our body, then read the first point again!
11. We adhere to the principle of simplicity.
Eating (and consequently losing weight) should be fairly simple. If everything is too complicated, then we are probably on the wrong track.
12. Let's not ignore our gut.
If our intestines hurt and we feel bloated, constipated and unhappy, don't ignore it. Our gut needs our attention and an unhealthy gut can slow down the weight loss process.
13. This trick based on protein intake can help us.
First, let's find out how much protein we need per day. The average woman should consume 90 to 125 grams of protein per day (that's 20 to 25 percent of the recommended daily calorie intake). The daily dose of protein is then adjusted according to our entire menu. This means that we eat enough so that we can lose weight and at the same time get enough nutrients for our health.
Proteins must be consumed with the right fats and easily digestible carbohydrates.
