After the revelry and the excesses of the Christmas holidays, we just have to deal with budgets and… balances! Every time the hand goes up, the mood arrives under the shoes and the lens of a thin, toned and cellulite-free body seems to move away from dinner to dinner (who hasn't gone wrong several times during the holidays just passed?). Not to mention all the times that, instead of reacting, “we sit”… literally!
In the list of good intentions for the new year, of those who struggle to keep fit, will certainly not miss the voice "lose weight and defeat cellulite in a definitive way". Certainly an ambitious goal, but not at all impossible to achieve, thanks to the advice illustrated below.
Fight against fat and cellulite: let's set ourselves realistic goals
New year, new body: but which side should we start? First of all, let's set ourselves realistic goals, appreciating every little progress and not pretending to have everything immediately. Weight loss must be gradual, the ideal is one kg per week, also because excessive weight loss could leave us unsightly stretch marks and loose and not very toned skin, which, in some ways, are even worse than flab! Cellulite then needs "shock" treatments and a lot of constancy: we must not give it respite since it is an enemy that does not know size or age (the thin ones also have it, indeed on them it is even more visible), so losing weight or doing sports alone will not be enough.
How to lose weight step by step
To lose weight as a goal of the new year requires some consistency, here are some useful tips:
-
Follow as much as possible a balanced and low-calorie diet rich in healthy foods such as: lean proteins (white meats, chicken, eggs, Greek yogurt 0%); vegetables; fruit; wholemeal bread and pasta; one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil a day, spices and flavors as a condiment. We set our slimming regime preferably with the help of a nutritionist or a dietician, especially if the extra pounds are many;
-
Increase energy expenditure: at the same time as the diet it will be necessary to move more to burn more calories and tone the muscles which, as is well known, will help us to appear fitter and increase metabolism even at rest. Therefore we practice both aerobic sports (running, cycling, etc.) That anaerobic (weight training). For those who have little time available, a plus of calories can be spent for example by learning to use the car less and climbing the stairs on foot;
-
Acting specifically on the critical points with gels that help reduce localized adiposities such as adipeKO (to learn more about the product Click here )
-
No stress: being stressed all the time increases the levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, which has among its negative effects, that of making you fat and causing water retention, especially on the abdomen;
-
Sleeping at least 8 hours a day: it is scientifically proven that those who sleep little tend to gain more weight. In fact, those who sleep little tend to compensate for the lack of sleep by consuming foods that are richer in fat and sugar. Insufficient sleep also leads to the inevitable increase in stress hormones, which, as we have seen, make us fat.
Cellulite ko as a goal for the New Year
If one of our good intentions for the new year is the elimination of cellulite, here is what we can do, without turning to beauty centers:
-
Healthy eating: yes to fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins (meat, fish, yogurt, eggs), legumes, water (at least 1.5 l per day), extra virgin olive oil, spices and herbs; no to junk food (junk food) such as french fries, fast food food, Sweets, sugars, sodium, prepackaged food, fatty and processed foods;
-
Sports: the sports indicated for those suffering from cellulite are low intensity ones such as fast walking, swimming, water gym, hidrobike, exercise bike, bicycle, yoga, pilates, skating, kickboxing;
-
Trying to eliminate or otherwise reduce some bad habits as much as possible: smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, standing too much, crossing the legs, uncomfortable shoes and tight clothes, are all bad habits that favor circulatory and lymphatic stagnation, therefore cellulite;
-
Do-it-yourself cosmetic treatments: massages with anti-cellulite gel and oil, performed daily with circular movements from the bottom (ankles) upwards (thighs and buttocks) until complete absorption. Among the most popular products in this sense is cellko ( Click here to discover the product ) An immediate absorption gel that acts effectively on the causes of cellulite, i.e. poor circulation and fluid stagnation;
-
Anti-cellulite leggings: latest in technology, anti-cellulite leggings are a formidable do-it-yourself remedy to say goodbye to cellulite. These special garments consist of biomaterials capable of absorbing far infrared rays and returning them in the form of thermal energy. The delicate and constant massage drains fluids, eliminates toxins and reactivates lymphatic and blood circulation, carrying out a triple action: anti-cellulite, slimming and toning. The beauty is that getting all these effects will be enough to wear them for 6 hours a day and that's it.
Weight loss: how to maintain goals
Once we have reached our ideal weight, here's how to stop catching the lost kg:
-
Maintain a healthy and balanced diet: the reintroduction of various foods must be gradual, in order not to frustrate all the efforts made. Following a healthy and balanced diet throughout your life, not at all starving, in the style of the Mediterranean Diet is the best way to never regain the lost kg;
-
Continue to play sports: the sport restarts the spirit and mind and is the best natural anti-stress. When we do physical activity, we not only burn calories, but also get rid of the endorphins that are the hormones of good mood;
-
Being happy: let's learn to let everything that can undermine our happiness slip on us and make time for us; if we are angry, tired or disappointed, let's take a walk or call a friend: food is our nourishment, not a way to fill emotional gaps.
-
Sleeping at least 8 hours a day: it is scientifically proven that those who sleep little tend to gain more weight. In fact, those who sleep little tend to compensate for the lack of sleep by consuming foods that are richer in fat and sugar. Insufficient sleep also leads to the inevitable increase in stress hormones, which, as we have seen, make us fat.
Cellulite: so it never comes back
Once you have acquired all the healthy habits described, during the new year, the orange peel skin will hardly return to “visit” us. But as soon as we notice the first alarm bells of his reappearance, such as swelling and water retention, we do this:
-
We reduce the consumption of sodium and sugar;
-
We increase the introduction of water, fresh fruit and vegetables as well as purees, smoothies or centrifuged, perhaps making a day of liquid diet;
-
We take herbal teas and detox and anti-cellulite remedies: such as dandelion, birch sap, pineapple stalk, Asian centella, horse chestnut. Among our supplements the most appreciated is certainly Harmony Slim , Which thanks to garcinia cambogia and other ingredients of natural origin makes it particularly suitable for women who wish to balance body weight and drain
