On Maslenitsa we ate ourselves up on pancakes, adding jam, condensed milk, sour cream, and also using meat, eggs, ham and cheese as filling, and now our body needs a break. If you ate a couple of pancakes without anything or with low-fat yogurt on Maslenitsa, this will not affect your figure in any way. But if you've been enjoying these high-calorie items without even counting them, the voluminous “pancake” sides are probably about to show up.
Meanwhile, you can lose extra pounds without resorting to grueling workouts and strict diets. There are only 3 rules to follow.
Breakfast that doesn't confuse your metabolism
Many people think that it is better to eat oatmeal with fruit or sweet yogurt for breakfast, but such dishes cause sugar to spike, and therefore you want to eat even more, and you rush for a snack without waiting for lunch. Therefore, an ideal breakfast should consist of fats and protein. These are eggs, cottage cheese, cheese, vegetables, some fish or meat. No sugar or fast carbohydrates.
Simple movement before eating
No need to torture yourself with annoying workouts every morning. Walk briskly for 15-20 minutes before eating – this is enough for the body to readily use fat as fuel.
Sleep for your waist
If you don't sleep enough, even a strict diet and grueling exercise will not save you. The fact is that at night leptin is produced, which suppresses appetite, and the stress hormone cortisol also drops, and therefore the body switches on fat burning mode. Well, if you sleep poorly and little, then this process slows down. Therefore, try to sleep from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., without light, without screens, and without late-night snacks, and then you will quickly be able to lose the fat you gained during the Pancake week.
