Now that September is halfway through and the post-holiday routine is a reality, the time has come (for many) to establish a healthy weight loss plan after all the excesses of the summer, to be in shape and, above all (and most importantly) to be healthy. The most important thing when setting a challenge is to have very well defined what we are going to do, for how long we are going to follow it and that it contains real objectives that we are capable of meeting, even if it involves some effort.
Losing weight is getting more and more complicated. And if you take into account that we have less and less free time, it is necessary to take advantage of every moment to lose weight. That is why today we bring you a trick that may be useful to you. Change your table in the office. Change your computer at home. Work where you work stand up. Sitting down you burn fewer calories and, in addition, normally when looking at the screen from the table you adopt a posture that damages your back and (on many occasions) your own eyesight. .
However, it is difficult, but not impossible. If you take away from some “whim2 during the week and take care of your diet, you can achieve your goal. In Spain, it is estimated that almost five out of every hundred calories that are ingested on average daily come from the consumption of alcohol, according to data from the Foundation Española de la Nutrición.These calories are added to those that we already eat at breakfast, lunch and dinner, so, we insist, giving up alcohol can already mean that you lose kilos without realizing it. If we add the sugar from the soft drinks that are usually used to accompany vodka, whiskey or rum, the number of calories can skyrocket above the recommendation of the World Health Organization: 2,000 calories a day for a man and 1,800 for a woman. women.
Beer and wine, two of the most consumed alcoholic beverages in our country, are among the least fattening. Thus, contrary to what many people think, a beer (200 cc) is only 70 kcal and a can, 105. In the case of wine, a glass of red represents 74 kcal and white, 79. However , if you manage to avoid the intake of these alcoholic beverages during the week, or at least remove the beer, the results are guaranteed. Eliminating this drink from Monday to Friday and adding exercise and a balanced diet, you can lose between one and two kilos a week without problem. “I stopped drinking beer from Monday to Friday and I started to notice how my belly was less bloated and I lost weight” , says a user, who confesses that thanks to this small change, losing weight became a reality. Starting to see results is essential when it comes to achieving the goal. They take time to arrive, but they arrive and it is from that moment when everything begins to go smoothly. “At home I do drink a glass of wine or two, but I no longer drink the three beers that I consumed (on average) in the afternoon, after leaving work and having a drink and then at home preparing dinner and afterwards.” Of course, on the weekend you can take it, but not stuff yourself
Alcoholic beverages (unlike what happens with packaged foods) are not required to reflect nutritional information on the label. They are not, in fact, food itself. But you can investigate to see which ones have the most calories.
