- It is not lipids that are lost, but water;
- when returning to the usual diet, the weight returns;
- a state of hunger is stress, which helps slow down metabolic processes;
- There is a deficiency of nutrients (vitamins, minerals), which leads to a deterioration in well-being and disruption of the functioning of organs.

If you want to say goodbye to unsightly deposits, eliminate fast carbohydrates (baked goods, sugar, sweet drinks, fried potatoes, corn flakes, chips). And also eat more fresh vegetables, herbs and protein foods.
How to prevent fat deposits - maintain the following balance: 30% carbohydrates, 10% lipids, 60% proteins. The scheme should be finalized together with a nutritionist, who will take into account health characteristics, age and level of physical activity.
There is a misconception that to lose weight you need to give up fatty foods. Actually this is not true.
Comment from the clinic's nutritionist
Consumption of oily foods is necessary, as it helps absorb certain vitamins, build cells of various tissues, maintain the functions of the nervous system, protect organs, and fight inflammation. You just have to choose “good” lipids over “bad” ones. The first list contains unsaturated fats, the second list contains trans fats.
Foods called fat breakers
What you need to eat regularly to speed up your metabolism and quickly say goodbye to excess weight:
- grapefruit and lemon;
- a pineapple;
- coffee;
- ginger;
- green tea, almonds;
- papaya;
- apples and pears.
But in pursuit of accelerated metabolism, one should not forget about other healthy foods. What burns fat in the body in women? Proper nutrition, based on several simple but very important principles.
Eat small, frequent meals
5-6 meals and a small amount of it is the main condition for speeding up metabolism. By increasing the metabolic rate, the body increases energy consumption, which in turn accelerates the fat burning process. Regularity strictly leads to the acceleration of metabolic processes, as a result of which fat burning is more intense. If you stick to portioned meals, you can “instill” in your body that food is always available and there is no need to stock up. Such a system will require attention to the organization of the working day, since a pie from the cafeteria is not considered a healthy snack. The menu should consist of a large proportion of proteins, poly- and monounsaturated lipids and complex carbohydrates. Small meals will allow you to avoid feelings of hunger, stress, and absorb all nutrients well. The body says goodbye to reserves more calmly.
Pay attention to breakfast
Remember that the most important meal of the day if you want to start the process of losing weight in your body is breakfast, don’t ignore it. And if you don't like to eat in the morning, you should try to change your attitude. The fact is that during sleep your metabolism slows down and you can activate it again by having a good and healthy breakfast. Therefore, if you postpone your first meal until later, then before lunch your body will destroy much fewer calories than it could if you had breakfast. It is customary to start your day by eating food high in complex carbohydrates, the digestion of which takes longer, which means you will not feel hungry soon.
Eat protein
This component is indispensable when creating a menu for those who want to reduce weight and accelerate its loss. To assimilate protein foods in the body, much more energy is needed than, say, products containing lipids or starch - therefore, the process of losing weight is more intense. An undeniable advantage of the element can be considered the effect of weakening the feeling of hunger. Include proteins that contain all the essential amino acids in your diet, as these foods will provide the greatest nutritional benefit for the fewest calories. And keratin, vitamin B12 and omega-3 are suitable as food for the brain and will help improve cognitive function.
Don't forget about dairy products
An important place in the diet of a person losing weight is given to dairy products, which deliver essential nutrients - proteins, fats, carbohydrates, calcium and phosphorus and other useful elements. Low-fat milk and kefir can also have a beneficial effect on the weight loss process. The calcium they contain speeds up the metabolic process and allows you to burn excess fat faster. The condition of the intestinal microflora is also regulated and improved, and the feeling of hunger is dulled. The daily recommended serving of dairy products is 1200 mg.
A few words about fish
It is indispensable in a healthy diet and serves as a source of easily digestible protein, fatty acids, iodine, zinc and other minerals. It is recommended to choose varieties with medium and low fat content. This list includes: trout, haddock, tuna, pollock, flounder, cod. With regular consumption of seafood, the level of the hormone leptin in the body decreases, which directly affects metabolic rate and obesity.
Iron intake
This is another important factor for metabolism. With its lack in the blood, the muscles are poorly supplied with oxygen, and fatigue and lethargy are noted. This way, fat is not burned, but, on the contrary, increases, because the body seeks to compensate for the deficiency, which is associated with increased appetite. You can maintain iron levels with pumpkin and sesame seeds, chicken hearts and liver, halva, parsley, dried apricots, almonds, and lentils.
What about citrus fruits
Fruits containing vitamin C and included in your breakfast menu are an excellent option for effectively starting metabolism, and therefore losing weight. They fill the body with the energy necessary for metabolism, and vitamin C itself is actively involved in the chemical processes of fat breakdown.
Gender indications
The bodies of men and women work differently. Therefore, they require a different set of products to lose weight.
For men
Products for men should contain as much protein as possible to build muscle mass and very little carbohydrates. Low-fat dairy products are ideal in this regard. It is also recommended to eat boiled chicken breast (a source of protein) or fish (salmon is the best) with fat burners such as:
- legumes;
- green tea;
- ginger;
- onions (all varieties, in any form);
- nuts;
- garlic;
- eggs.
To achieve maximum effectiveness, be sure to drink as much water as possible.
For women
But for women, protein foods no longer carry such great nutritional value, since they have no need for excess muscle mass. This does not mean that it should not be in the diet - just much less than in men.
The following have a very positive effect on hormonal levels:
Gender differences in the use of fat-burning products must be taken into account in order to get the maximum benefit from them for weight loss.

Grapefruit is considered the most popular representative, and not by chance. It contains only 35 calories, but at the same time, it can satisfy your hunger with just a couple of slices. Try grapefruit juice and you will get the same effect. Another healthy fruit is everyone’s favorite tangerine. Contains all 33 calories, as well as such a useful component as flavonoids, which promote fat burning.
Water and drinks
Drinking regime plays a significant role - you need to drink 2 liters of liquid to maintain a high metabolic rate. This factor has a positive effect on overall health:
- improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract;
- promotes the removal of toxins;
- increases skin turgor and evens out complexion.
Water, like no other, is necessary for the liver to process fat, since it is bile that breaks down complex lipids. If there is a lack of moisture in the liver, there is no energy or time left to break down fats, as it works to cleanse the body as a whole. As a result, the metabolic process slows down and water accumulation begins.
In addition, water helps eliminate decay products and toxins. Under the influence of oxygen, fats oxidize and break down into the following components: carbon dioxide, water and adenosine triphosphate. It is the last component that represents the source of energy for all processes carried out in the body.
Comment from the clinic's nutritionist
If you are concerned about how and with what to burn fat, you need to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed to 1 glass of dry red. Such a portion, as part of weight loss, will not cause harm, but a larger volume is undesirable.
Speaking of liquid, we mean not only non-carbonated purified water, but also tea without sugar, green or herbal. Green tea is also a powerful antioxidant and a source of minerals, so drinking it in reasonable quantities will benefit weight loss. Catechins and EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) accelerate metabolism and are found in high concentrations in green tea and its extracts.

Healthy body and mind
Metabolism directly depends on the state of health, and specifically on the functioning of the thyroid gland. What, how and when fats are burned in the body - during training or when consuming pineapples - is a secondary question. Check your thyroid first. It produces many hormones that affect physique.
Comment from the clinic's nutritionist
If such verification is necessary, you should contact competent specialists. At Elena Morozova’s clinic, you will see an endocrinologist who will conduct a thorough examination and identify all the reasons for the slow production of hormones and make the necessary recommendations for normalizing your health. This will make the weight loss process even more effective.
Don't exercise while hungry
When you feel hungry, this does not mean that the body begins to burn fat - it is worth understanding how to eat before training. A good choice would be low-carb food (meat, low-fat cheese) for strength training; 60-90 minutes should pass after eating. Before cardio training, you need carbohydrates (oatmeal, buckwheat, vegetables). It is better to avoid lipids and products containing fructose.
The fact is that by skipping lunch and going out to expend a lot of energy, you create stress. In this state, he is extremely reluctant to use up supplies, fearing that this will happen again. Regular exercise on an empty stomach can slow down your metabolism.
Eggs
If you eat eggs for breakfast, it will be twice as effective for weight loss as any other product with a similar calorie content but a higher amount of carbohydrates. Eggs also contain a lot of protein, so they eliminate the feeling of hunger for a long time. And the third argument in favor of eggs is that they speed up metabolism in fatty tissues.
Eggs also have other beneficial properties that are not related to weight loss - for example, preventing cancer and heart disease, fighting fatigue and bad mood. All this is achieved thanks to the high content of iron and vitamin E.
It is recommended to consume two pieces approximately every other day. And boiled eggs are best - fried eggs in oil are not good for weight loss.
Nervous system
The body forgives excess weight much easier if the mind is in a calm state. During times of anxiety, worry, toxic feelings of guilt, and protracted conflicts, the hormone cortisol is produced. It makes it difficult to lose weight because it slows down your metabolism.
Let's remember the importance of sleep - if you don't get enough rest, you're unlikely to lose weight quickly. Do not limit your rest to 4-5 hours a day - disruption of sleep patterns negatively affects metabolic processes.
