Do you ever find the diets too strict or draconian, only to abandon them along the way? Before depriving yourself drastically, these few daily tips can change your life! Fourchette & Bikini offers you 7 daily gestures to lose weight easily.

Do the cooking

We can never say it enough: eating better has many benefits for the body and mind! Cooking yourself means buying fresh products that are better in taste and healthier. And in addition to making you naturally slim thanks to the quality of your meals, cooking is also a sporting activity! Washing, peeling, cutting, seasoning... It's getting into action, especially when preparing your meals standing up! Cooking can burn up to 150 calories per hour.

Activate your neurons

Thinking, reading, writing… Whether you are filling out an administrative form or spending an evening reading a book, your brain is activated, which requires your body to provide a significant dose of energy. So you're burning calories without even realizing it! And if it works of course your free time, it also works at work. A two-hour optimal concentration results in an average consumption of 130 calories. It's a winning duo: you will make your body and your employer happy!

Make love

In addition to releasing natural hormones such as endorphins, sex is a real sport! When you have sex, your body activates and your heart rate increases. The whole of your body is therefore solicited, which naturally muscles it... for your greatest pleasure! This does not mean that you have to have daily sexual activity, just keep in mind that by respecting your rhythm of desire, you are doing yourself good on all levels!

Eat at the table

You will not eat the same way if you enjoy your meal sitting at a table or if you are on your sofa, in front of a screen. By eating in front of the TV, you eat faster and you consume more calories, because your attention is captured by something other than food. On the other hand, if you eat at the table, you will be focused on your food and your bodily needs. Dedicate time dedicated solely to tasting your meal! This allows you to chew better and longer, to fully feel satiety when it arrives.

Drink water

Water is essential to our good health. But in addition to fully hydrating you and regulating your transit, it is a very effective appetite suppressant. It fills the stomach and prevents snacking. In order for your body to be in top form, drink at least one and a half liters a day. Your entire metabolism will benefit!

Take care of your home

Free and excellent for your health, cleaning is an activity that is both good for your body and your interior! Vacuuming, sweeping or mopping burns up to 240 calories per hour, while mowing the lawn eliminates 325 calories in the same given time! And if you like gardening, take advantage of it! Cultivating your garden burns around 250 calories an hour, and is good for both body and mind.

Don't eat too fast

Eating more slowly also saves calories. Because if the brain is sometimes very fast, there is a 20-minute lag between the food swallowed and the message of satiety. Do not fool your body and give it time to understand that it is sated! To do this, there is a simple method: put your cutlery down after each bite. This will allow you to eliminate 300 calories per meal, and up to 500 calories per day!
