10 easy tricks to lose weight fast and without rebound effect
Losing weight can be quick - and easy - if you incorporate these habits into your day to day. It is more effective than spending a week almost without eating, which is useless because it causes the famous rebound effect.
When we think about losing weight fast, we tend to think of a super drastic diet that almost starves us for a few days. But it is more effective to incorporate good habits into our lives.

And second, because they are easy habits to follow that not only help you lose weight fast but also help you stay at the new weight without suffering.
10 tips to lose weight fast sunbathe vitamin D
Sunbathe (yes, it is "shed kilos")
It seems silly, but sunlight is "shed kilos." On the one hand, the vitamin D that we synthesize when sunbathing, along with calcium from food (dairy, green leafy vegetables, sardines with thorn ...), helps burn fat. On the other hand, by having to constantly regulate the body temperature due to heat, the body also burns more. In addition, an investigation by the Hospital of Los Angeles (USA) has shown that there is a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and the risk of obesity So if you are one of the lucky ones with a garden, patio, terrace, balcony ... take advantage of it.
10 tips to lose weight fast listen to music9
Eat with slow music
Eating fast makes us eat more, even too much. And there are studies that ensure that 80% of people devour more than we eat. So this is usually one of the most difficult habits to adopt, but one of the most effective. Take half an hour to cook your meal in a relaxed setting and to make it easy, put on slow music to help you slow down. Another trick that can help you chew slowly is to sit next to the person who eats the slowest in your environment - the one who is always the last to get up from the table - and follow their rhythm. And if you need more tricks to eat slowly and fill up earlier, we have more.

An orange juice two or three times a week, fruit rich in vitamin C (kiwis, citrus fruits, strawberries), red pepper and watercress in your salads, parsley and a splash of lemon for fish ... All this reinforces the vitamin C contribution of your diet and has a slimming effect thanks to the ascorbic acid in these foods, which helps reduce lipids (fats) in the body. And just as important as getting a sufficient dose of vitamin C is avoiding what can "steal" it.
Imitate the Japanese
Have you seen how thin the Japanese tend to be in the face of the obesity epidemic that plagues Americans? Have you ever considered that it could be a matter of how they serve the food? The Japanese tend to do it in small containers, while the Americans do it in large trays (and there is so much left over that they take for granted that they will take some home). Adopt the Japanese small container system to adjust the size of your servings.
Move (a lot, a lot) every day
Sport and leading an active life are essential to lose weight fast. If you already walk 10,000 steps a day, raise them to 15,000 (now with confinement it is complicated, but if your house allows it, give it a try). If you train 3 times a week, raise it to 4 or better to 5. If you dance, give it your all for longer and more days. Increasing the amount of exercise you already do is the best way to lower the needle on your scale. And if you can, combine cardiovascular exercise (walking fast at home, running on the spot, dancing…) with toning (weights, isometric exercises…), but don't worry, you can lose weight without stepping on the gym.
A menu on a plate or three bowls
This is the best way to organize your diet without breaking your mind. It allows you to easily apply the Harvard dish, one of the best formulas to know how to eat in a balanced way without the hassle of counting calories. Use a large bowl for vegetables (salad, cooked vegetables, vegetable cream ...) and two small bowls, one for cereals and legumes (it is a garnish size) and another for protein (egg, meat, fish ...) . And if you don't want to put it in bowls, you can use a medium plate (about 20 centimeters). For dessert, always fruit or natural yogurt without sugar.
Much more attractive and tasty vegetables
They have to be the basis of our diet, so it is very important that we feel "tempted" to eat them, that they are very attractive and succulent. And the secret to that is the seasonings (and although it was not a great secret, there is a study by American scientists that corroborates it). Use light dressings such as citrus or mustard vinaigrette and other natural dressings such as bay leaf, thyme, curry, turmeric ... Let's not forget that presentation is also important.
Eat (more) legumes
At least twice a week and, ideally, between 3 and 4. Legumes are very satiating because their carbohydrates are assimilated slowly, making it take much longer to feel hungry. Instead of fats like chorizo, bacon…, accompany them with spinach, broccoli, cabbage or chard. They are foods rich in lipoic acid, a substance that influences metabolic activity. It has been seen that this combination - legumes and green vegetables - helps you lose weight faster as long as the whole diet is balanced. If you need ideas to eat more legumes, here are seven.
Don't stop having tapas, making vermouth
You lose weight faster if the method you choose to do it doesn't break with your lifestyle. Therefore, if you are in the habit of having tapas or making vermouth with friends (now by video call), keep up that habit and enjoy “vitamin S”, that of having good bonds of friendship. Of course, choose light tapas (grilled artichokes, mussels, cockles, flags ...), do not have more than one glass of wine or beer, or choose the non-alcoholic version and skip the food later. If after a couple of hours you feel hungry, have a piece of fruit with a handful of nuts.
