Losing weight is the most common reason why people become more physically active in the spring. We tend to think that hitting the gym, evening runs, or cycling indoors will solve all the built-up fat, but things aren’t that simple. In addition to physical activity, the following points are also important:

1. Reduce Salt Intake
It's true that salt gives food a richer flavor, but too much salt is often the reason for bloating. Salt also retains water in the body and slows down detox processes. Therefore, during the week you decide to lose weight, set aside all salty snacks, salty pastries, carbonated drinks, juices, and other fast food. If possible, try to completely avoid salt.

2. Cut Back on Carbohydrates
Diets like LCHF, paleo, keto, and others are based on the fact that simple carbohydrates quickly break down into sugar in the body, which enters the bloodstream; after half an hour, when the supply drops, the level suddenly falls. This puts the body in shock twice. At first, it’s shocked by the sudden energy boost, then later by the sudden drop. That’s why we get hungry quickly after eating carbs (even though it's not real hunger), and besides, too much sugar in the blood is never good news. Remove bread, pasta, sweets, ice cream, and sugary drinks from your menu...

3. Forget About Milk
Lactose intolerance can cause a lot of digestive problems, including bloating, rumbling, and even headaches. Try to go without milk for at least a week. And don’t forget, milk is often in coffee too. Avoid other dairy products as well.

4. Limit Fruit Intake
Although fruit is generally healthy and highly recommended, it is wise to be cautious at times. Apples, watermelons, bananas, and pears are tasty, but they can cause gas and bloating in the body, and fruit also causes stomach acidity... During your week of weight loss, only eat berries, lemons, and oranges.

5. Avoid Spicy Foods
Besides the fact that spicy food stimulates the secretion of stomach acids, it also boosts appetite. Overcoming yourself is often the hardest part.

6. Sugar, Alcohol and Fried Foods
Be sure to cut these three musketeers out of your meal plans, as they are the main culprits for belly fat. Avoid them even after you finish the diet...
