Читать книгу The Colors Of A Optimistic World - Logan J. Davisson - Страница 126

Your first day only serves to give you an overview of where you stand. Get on the scales in the morning and note your weight. You'll do that every morning from now on.

Opinions differ as to whether one should really weigh oneself every day. The weight doesn't react directly to all changes in your behavior. Sometimes it goes up even though you've had a very healthy diet. Water loss can lead to weight loss, muscle building to increase because muscles are heavier than fat. Nevertheless, it helps you to get a feeling for your weight is within a certain range and you know when it is good and when it is not. And you can take countermeasures immediately, and not after a week.

Next, you measure your abdominal girth and write it down. Since you want to lose belly fat, this is your most important value. However, fluctuations can also occur here. If you build up muscles, they will initially lie under the abdominal fat and expand your abdominal girth. As soon as the fat is gone, however, the centimeters also melt. You only measure your abdominal girth three times in a fortnight.

Today you should eat all day as you have always done and move like this. You're supposed to see what your normal behavior looks like. The only difference is, you write down everything you eat. Even if you do sports, you write that down. And in the evening, you write down the number of steps you've taken.

Every night, you end up taking stock. Ask and answer the questions in your notebook:

- How many meals have you had?

- How many times did you eat snacks in between?

- How much did you move?

- How many steps did you take?

Starting tomorrow, you will use this as a basis to adjust your behaviour step by step and get rid of your abdominal fat.
