Why is it difficult for me to reduce my waist?

Getting a much more stylized silhouette is the dream of many people. However, the waist is a part of the body where fat can easily accumulate, even in thin people.

Next, we  review what the causes, in addition to genetics, that can lead to this accumulation may be:

• Stress.
• Pregnancy.
• Alcoholism.
• Sedentary.
• Digestive disorders
• Slow metabolism
• Food rich in sugars and refined.

Tips to reduce the waist

1. Cut down on dinners

Dinner is the most fattening meal of the day (when we prepare it in abundant quantities and with a high content of saturated fat) and its effects are noticeable, especially on the waistline. The good news is that it is also at this point that we will first notice the benefits if we start to change the dynamics of dining too much or too late.

Some people complain that it is very difficult for them to have an early dinner because of their hours. However, they can find a way to have a mid-afternoon snack to eat something very light in the evening.

Also, there are people who regret that dinner is the time for family reunion. For that reason, it would be too great a sacrifice to change everyone’s habits.

In that case, we  recommend choosing recipes that are light and easy to prepare, as well as having the willpower to consume smaller servings. The previous snack will be, therefore, a great help not to arrive at dinner with anxiety.

The next morning, we will feel lighter and, as the days go by, we will notice a thinner waist; This will encourage us to continue to do so.

2. Control portions

What we have said about the amounts for dinner should be one of our goals at each meal. It is not about starving, it is about finding the exact point where we could eat more but, in reality, we no longer need it. In fact, if we manage to wait 5 or 10 minutes, that supposed hunger will disappear.

The difference is key, since in those moments it is usually when we eat what is least convenient for us, such as bread or sweets. A trick to get used to it is to take a digestive infusion after the meal;  It will also help us to chew each bite well to fill ourselves more quickly.

3. Increase protein

You may have already heard of high protein diets, which promise miraculous results in no time. In fact, they do work, but they are harmful to the liver and kidneys, as well as having a rebound effect after a while.

However, it is true that  we must emphasize the importance of consuming protein to lose weight and reduce the waistline. These can be of animal or vegetable origin. Nor should we forget, of course, the rest of the foods for a balanced diet.

Animal protein sources :

• Meat.
• Egg.
• Dairy products.
• Fish and seafood.

Plant protein sources :

• Avocado.
• Vegetables.
• Whole grains.

• Nuts and seeds.

Ideally, eat a serving of protein at each meal, combine those of animal origin with those of plant origin and accompany them with raw and cooked vegetables. In the last place should be the cereals and flours, which we must try to always be integral.

4. Choose fats well

Yes, fats are very important. And not by reducing them, as many dietitians say, but by choosing them wisely. Healthy fats help us lose weight, reduce the waistline and avoid the accumulation of fat in other unsightly parts.

These fats are going to be used by the body for other functions, while forcing it to increase energy expenditure. Therefore, we must incorporate a portion of good fats in each meal :

• Avocado.
• Blue Fish.
• Probiotics
• Yolk.
• Nuts and seeds.
• Dairy, such as yogurt or goat or sheep cheese, or ghee.
• Vegetable oils of first cold pressing (olive, coconut, sesame, wheat germ, evening primrose, etc).

As you may have noticed, we are not talking about any miracle diet or huge sacrifices to achieve the goal. It is enough to correct the daily habits and replace them with healthier ones ; your body will thank you and you will surely show off the figure you are looking for.

Remember, in case you have any concerns, it is best to always consult your family doctor.
