Hunger, frustration, fatigue… The solution? Continue to eat everything, but start exercising. Our professional advice for losing weight quickly through sport.
We preserve the fats
Contrary to what you might think, we should not eradicate fat. The omega 3s that these provide us are essential for the proper functioning of our body. To season our salads, we can use rapeseed oil or walnut oil. To cook our dishes, we opt instead for olive oil.
We consume proteins
Protein consumption is essential when you want to lose weight through sport. We know that without them, muscle is not formed. We prefer to choose lean pieces such as fish or white meat.
Priority to starchy foods with a low glycemic index
Consumption of starchy foods with a low glycemic index limits the feeling of hunger. This reduces the risk of snacking. Concretely, these are:
-whole grains
-dried vegetables
-sweet potatoes
-sourdough or cereal bread
Bye-bye sugar
Just like alcohol and excess salt, sugar should be avoided. In fact, it is not necessary for our body and can be easily replaced by muscovado or agave syrup for example.
We eat homemade
If we have time, we cook. We avoid as much as possible consuming products from the food industry whose composition we do not know and which make us gain weight without even knowing why.
Unlimited fruits, vegetables and water
Three elements whose consumption should not be slowed down! Cooked with little fat, vegetables can be eaten in large quantities. If you’re feeling a little hungry, we’ll go for some fruit. Finally, we drink a lot of water, between 1.5L and 2L per day at least.
SPORTS COACH
Once our diet is on point, we can calmly start moving. For Marine, diet represents 70% of the work when losing weight through sport. So you really shouldn’t neglect the previous advice.
The little things that make everything
It may seem silly, but if we take the stairs instead of the Escalator every time we face this dilemma on the subway, our thighs will start to hurt. If we take the stairs instead of the elevator every time, we go down for coffee. We will start to strengthen ourselves. We therefore change our habits, and casually this will have a significant impact on our physical form.
We alternate cardio and weight training
And no, to lose weight it is not enough to go running around the house twice a week (oh rage, oh despair). In fact, you have to alternate strength training exercises and cardio work. If you are very motivated, you can even combine the two during the same session.
We motivate ourselves as often as possible
If you are in a hurry, the ideal is to exercise as often as possible. Every day, at best and every other day if you can’t. Muscle being heavier than fat, we don’t panic if the results on the scale are not dazzling from the start. It’s not a diet. It’s a new lifestyle: the guarantee of good health and a pretty figure for a long time. Let’s play!
