Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Diverse diet done in order to lose weight. But in reality, instead of trying to diet hard, it would be better if you try to live a healthier life. The bonus, of course, is losing weight.
If you want to live a healthier life, it’s a lot easier than you think to achieve the goals you have for yourself, including your ideal weight. It all starts with a daily habit.
Here are some habits for healthy living that can help you lose weight:
1. Don’t diet
quote Eat This, Studies show that the number one predictor of future weight gain is current diet.
How come? this can be because cutting calories dramatically reduces strength, muscle mass, and bone density—and you need strong muscles to burn visceral fat and prevent it from recruiting more cells into its fat storage scheme.
2. Don’t be fat free
A European study tracking 90,000 people over several years found that participants who tried to eat “low fat” had the same risk of being overweight as those who ate whatever they wanted.
Instead, focus on eating healthy fats at every meal.
3. Eat while sitting
Don’t get used to eating standing up. Greek researchers report that eating more slowly, sitting down, and enjoying your meal can increase levels of a hormone that makes you feel full faster.
4. Choose protein
In a recent study, people who ate moderate levels of protein were twice as likely to lose weight.
5. Active movement
When it comes to this one, nothing can replace it. You don’t need a plan about what moves to do, but time your moves.
6. Watch less TV
In one study, participants who cut their daily TV viewing time from five hours a day to two and a half hours a day burned an average of 119 more calories each day.
