How to really lose 10 kg in a month without harm to your health

Have you ever tried to get rid of extra centimeters on your waist?

Have you tried almost every method known to you, but still can't lose weight?

In this article, I will explain how to lose weight in a month at home without spending a lot of money on weight loss supplements and other pills that have little or no results.

If you want to drop a clothing size or just want to feel good, this article has everything you need to know about how to lose weight realistically and quickly. If you urgently need to lose weight, say in a week, then you need to look towards protein and low-carbohydrate diets with a strong reduction in calorie intake and an increase in calorie consumption through physical activity. But this will only give a temporary effect, and the lost weight will return, and even with gain. Below you will learn how to properly remove excess fat and always be in shape, and not just during a diet.

Keep in mind before you make any lifestyle changes that losing excess fat doesn't happen overnight and may take some time.

You must stick to your diet, or rather eat right and do not forget about training.

Yes, you can lose weight without sports, adhering only to a diet, or rather a proper diet. But physical activity will help speed up the weight loss process by burning fat rather than losing water and muscle. This will remove excess fat and improve your figure without flabby muscles and sagging skin.

Always remember that no one will tell you exactly how many kg you can lose in a certain period of time. It all depends on your efforts, how strictly you adhere to your diet, how many calories you spend on exercise, running or brisk walking every day.

It is recommended that you consult your doctor before making any drastic lifestyle changes.

Especially if you have any health problems.

Myths, deception and lies must be ignored

There are so many myths and false claims about losing weight. Therefore, whether you can lose 10 kg in a month or not will depend on the chosen methods and methods of losing weight, and this article will help you make the right choice.

All this should be ignored when you are planning to start a new slim life.

1. Late-night snacking contributes to weight gain - this is not true. No matter what time of day you eat, you can still gain weight.
2. Abdominal machines and other exercise equipment help with weight loss - this is what many advertisements say to entice you to buy this exercise equipment. These machines actually do most of the work for you, resulting in minimal calorie burning.
3. Special diet products that are constantly advertised - don't fall for the marketing gimmicks or the super skinny model. You are simply being misled, and this does not help speed up the process.
4. Fat can be turned into muscle - this is a lie. Fat and muscle are completely different in structure and composition. Therefore, if you want to achieve a muscular and sculpted appearance, it requires a lot of dedication in doing physical activity and following a healthy diet, giving up unhealthy foods.
5. Local weight loss in problem areas is possible - this is also incorrect. You can't lose weight just in a specific area of ​​your body, overall weight loss allows you to become slimmer overall.

Ready-made rations

This is a good alternative to low-calorie diets. Ready-made diets are also low in calories, otherwise they would not provide rapid weight loss. But professionals work on the development of such menus. They strive to maintain a balance of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, and the presence of all necessary vitamins and microelements. These diets are based on the principles of proper nutrition:

• You get a varied menu, the diet does not get boring and does not cause rejection.
• You don't feel very hungry. You need to eat food every 2-3 hours in small portions; usually there are foods for healthy snacks - pieces of vegetables, a couple of spoons of yogurt, a few nuts.

You will have to spend time and money. A little, but still. Need to:

• Find in the store exactly the products that are indicated in the recipes. You won't be able to limit yourself to inexpensive yogurt, chicken breast and cabbage. The menu must be rational and balanced, and this costs money.
• Prepare food correctly. You will have to stand at the stove, but you will get a delicious, aromatic dish that you will eat with pleasure.

At the same time, weight loss is fast, because you get the same 800-1000 kC as on a low-calorie diet. But this is a useful 800-1000 kC, so there is much less harm from such a menu. Pre-cooked diets should not be used by people with chronic diseases, but if you are healthy, you can easily survive 30 days.

It is easier to maintain the results of such a diet. You are not just starving, but switching to a healthy diet, even if not entirely correctly. Maintaining a partially formed habit is easier than starting it from scratch.

Clarification: we are talking about complete diets, and not about the “1001 buckwheat dishes” diet. Menu for the month."

Set your goals

Plan your new lifestyle.

Plan your diet and exercise.

Be realistic when you plan to lose weight.

How many kg can you lose in a week? For proper weight loss, try no more than 2.

Stick to your new diet, workout, and daily routine.

It's pointless to plan your new life and then abandon it halfway.

Buy a digital scale to track your progress and a kitchen scale to correctly calculate your caloric intake for the day.

Also calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) as this will help you.

By calculating your BMI, you will know whether you are overweight or whether you are at the right weight for your height.

Keep a diary and record your progress each week, your meal plans and exercise times.

You can even download a dedicated fitness app on your device.

Is a mono diet suitable for weight loss?

A mono-diet is an excellent way to combat excess weight. It is with it that you can achieve the highest and fastest results. It is possible, but is it necessary? In such quantities, many products chosen for this purpose are often harmful to health. For example, a mono-diet based on apple or kefir will cause a malfunction in the gastrointestinal tract. And protein diets (buckwheat, eggs) will lead to constipation.

Attention!

Excess weight is harmful to the whole body, but fighting against it can cause a lot of problems. Before parting with it, you should weigh the pros and cons, evaluate the balance of “risk and profit,” and consult with a nutritionist.

Nutritionists do not recommend using this method of getting rid of unnecessary pounds for a long time. But resorting to a mono-diet for a short period of time is quite permissible. For example, a couple of days in a month that were set aside for weight loss, switch to one product. This will be more effective than a regular diet and less harmful to health.

For a mono-diet choose:

• apples;
• pears;
• a pineapple;
• kiwi;
• apricots;
• grape;
• pumpkin;
• zucchini;
• fermented milk, low-fat products;
• buckwheat;
• rice;
• Hercules.

For the same purpose, they simply use fasting days, in which the only nutrient liquid will be water with a slice of lemon. In any case, no matter what a person chooses for himself, he must think about his health. After all, losing 10 kilograms for someone whose weight is 100-120 kg will be quite realistic and unnoticeable for the body, but going from 70 kg to 60 kg is already risky.

Experts' opinions on the monthly diet

Weight loss experts confirm the effectiveness of a monthly diet.
They consider this period the optimal period for losing unnecessary pounds. With proper diet, you can say goodbye to excess fat forever. Nutritionists warn about the need to exit the diet correctly. They recommend:

• add salty and sweet foods in the first 7 days;
• in the second week, include a little fried food;
• eat mainly plant-based and protein foods;
• increase the intensity of exercise;
• take special vitamin preparations.

Many girls managed to lose a decent amount of kilograms in 4 weeks. You can verify this by reading their reviews and seeing the results in the before and after photos.

Portions and recommendations for possible nutrition

Don't load up on food, eat slowly and enjoy.

The faster you eat, the more often you have to eat due to hunger and in larger portions.

Chewing slowly also helps in digestion.

Therefore, after every meal you will not feel unhappy.

You can have 5 meals a day and it won't contribute to weight gain.

However, you should cut your portions in half.

So instead of 3 large dishes there are 5 small ones.

Don't drink after meals.

Drinking water with meals will leave less room in your stomach for extra calories in the form of food, and it will also make you happy because it will reduce your need for nutrition.

Follow your meal plan.

Plan your diet a week in advance. Never slack yourself by eating unhealthy snacks even once a week.

Remove all unhealthy foods from your refrigerator.

Low calorie diets

You will have to reduce your daily calories to 600-800. This is very little. For comparison: in besieged Leningrad, 125 grams of bread were given out per day. And 600 kcal is about 250 grams of Borodinsky, only 2 rations. Of course, in Leningrad there was a completely different bread, but for clarity we will sacrifice historical authenticity.

The feeling of hunger will become your constant companion. If you have problems with blood pressure, you will feel dizzy and nauseous. Nails and hair will deteriorate, and skin problems may arise. For people with gastrointestinal diseases, a low-calorie diet is strictly contraindicated.

It is difficult to maintain 30 days in this mode. You need iron willpower. It’s even more difficult not to snap on the 31st day and not buy up half of the confectionery department.

Having lost excess weight with such difficulty, you will not enjoy the result for long. The body, having experienced stress, will understand: hunger has begun! You need to stock up, and the more, the better. The ancient evolutionary defense mechanism will turn on, and the kilograms will return. And most likely, the weight will even increase.

But there are also advantages:

• This is an economical method. You only spend money on groceries. And since you eat little, the amount will be meager.
• You will see the first result quickly. Within a few days you will notice that the scale arrow is steadily creeping down.
• You don't have to waste time losing weight. On the contrary, you will save a couple of hours, because now you don’t need to prepare the first, second and dessert.

If you decide to use this method of losing weight, take it responsibly:

• Consult your doctor to see if such strict restrictions will harm you.
• Study materials on healthy eating, create a varied menu.
• Do not use mono diets or other drastic restrictions, such as high-protein or ketogenic diets.
• Keep a food diary, recording what you ate, when and how much.

Progress monitoring

Buy a measuring tape and measure your waist and hips regularly.

Weigh yourself daily, preferably in the morning before breakfast.

Take a lot of photos to see the results.

Keep magazines and any photographs of models, etc. that you think have a beautiful figure.

Monitoring your progress will help you stay motivated.

If you are unhappy with your results and feel frustrated, don't give up.

Follow your diet plan.

Remember that losing weight will never happen overnight.

Psychotherapeutic trainings

A psychologist will not select a diet menu for you or create a training program. But he will be able to remove the root cause of excess weight. Many overweight people:

• Negative emotions and stress eat away.
• They cannot focus on the global goal - a slim figure. They are constantly distracted by momentary pleasures - goodies, thereby endlessly delaying the result.
• Subconsciously, they consider abundant nutrition a symbol of stability. This is an element of “correct life” inherited from mothers and grandmothers.
• They don’t know how to enjoy life in any way other than food.

A psychologist will find the reason for regular overeating and help you cope with this problem. The result will not be visible immediately. Group trainings are a long-term process, you need to attend classes regularly. You will need money and time. But you will lose weight easily:

• Psychological training will help dull the feeling of hunger.
• You will learn to motivate yourself, set goals and achieve results. This skill is useful not only in matters of weight control.
• A specialist will help you change your thinking, so maintaining a slim figure will be easy.
• Training participants support each other. Moving towards a goal together is always easier than alone.

And nice bonuses:

• With the help of a psychologist, you will get rid of depression and complexes, learn to love yourself and enjoy life.
• Health problems caused by overeating will go away.

Exercises and workouts

Therefore, your weight loss plan should include exercise, this could be aerobic exercise, such as interval running or brisk walking.

How to get rid of 5-10 kilograms in a month after giving birth?

During breastfeeding, strict diets are contraindicated. A woman should carefully count the number of calories she consumes. In addition, a young mother can follow the following recommendations to help lose weight:

• the amount of flour products in the diet is strictly limited. It is recommended to replace baked goods with fruit dishes. A nursing mother should give preference to grain bread;
• fish and meat should be cooked in a double boiler or baked in the oven;
• You should have dinner no later than three hours before bedtime;
• You can use dried fruits when preparing dishes. Dried apricots help protect against osteoporosis and improve the condition of the cardiovascular system. Dried fruit saturates the body with potassium, magnesium and calcium. Dried apples are easily digestible. They contain pectins, which improve metabolism. Dried apples activate the brain and help remove heavy metal salts from the body;
• Sugar should not be added to freshly squeezed juices.

These recommendations help improve a woman’s well-being and give her skin a smooth and radiant appearance.

A young mother can include special cocktails in her diet that promote weight loss. A drink made with cinnamon, oatmeal and kefir normalizes intestinal function and helps cleanse the body of toxins. Oatmeal contains quite a lot of fiber, which suppresses appetite. Therefore, a delicious cocktail perfectly satisfies a sudden feeling of hunger. You can add a few slices of apples or a small amount of ripe berries to the finished drink. It is recommended to drink a healthy cocktail thirty minutes before meals.

How to lose weight in a short time? Morning training on an empty stomach is considered the most effective. If you don't have enough time or can't wake up, study in the evening. It is better to do exercises every other day: muscles also need rest and recovery.

Any sport helps you lose weight - running, swimming, tennis. It's also good to go to the gym.

If you have clearly decided: “I want to lose weight!”, but there is no way to go somewhere, work out on your own. In terms of effectiveness, home workouts are no worse than working out in the gym, provided that you don’t feel sorry for yourself and take time off from work.

Before training, get yourself into a working mood: put on sportswear, turn on your favorite music.
