Just for you, here are the 7 secrets to losing weight without deprivation.  

1. Eat from dessert plates  

Since the dessert plates are smaller, you will serve yourself in smaller quantities so you will eat less. So you will lose without having started a diet.

2.  Eat a starter 20 minutes before

Your brain can be full after 20 minutes. Take a starter (grated carrots for example with lemon juice) 20 minutes before your meal to perceive this feeling of satiety.  

3. Chew gently  

Always the same explanation, chewing gently allows the brain to realize that it is eating. It takes 15 to 20 minutes for the brain to make neurotransmitters like histamine (the message of satiety). Try to eat hard foods too to make chewing time longer.  

4. Turn off the television and other screen  

Eat while watching a fattening screen . This is because your brain does not focus on food and does not realize that it is swallowing calories. Result: you eat more during a meal in front of the TV. Worse, you eat more at the next meal because your body didn't feel like it had eaten.  

​

5.  Walk around

Buy yourself a dog for example; you will be prompted to take it out and therefore to walk more. A study shows that 20 minutes of walking with a dog per day can lose 7 pounds per year.

​

6. Sleep well  

Sleeping makes you lose weight. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same times every day. There is a link between sleep and the hormones responsible for regulating appetite. If you sleep well at night, you will be less tempted by fatty or sugary foods during the day. Also remember that when we sleep we burn calories. So do not deprive yourself of sleep anymore :)

​

7. For a snack  

When snacking, instead of nibbling on sweets or chocolate bars, opt for a small handful of oilseeds : walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts… Prefer plain fruit, neither grilled nor salted.
