I used to be very thin but now I am getting fatter and fatter

In modern society, everyone pursues thinness as beauty. Many people are born with a physique that makes them unable to gain weight. No matter how much they eat, they still cannot gain weight. However, some people have a physique that makes them gain weight easily. They are often very thin at first, but get fatter and fatter as they age. Being fat not only affects a person's appearance, but also undermines a person's self-confidence. Some people find that even if they were very thin originally, they will get fatter as time goes by. Why is this?

1. Protein first

Have you ever noticed that eating protein foods makes you feel full? This is not what you imagine. Studies have shown that protein stimulates the enzyme glucagon to produce a substance that causes a feeling of fullness. Try adding some chicken or tuna to your lunch salad -- it may help curb your cravings at your next big meal.

2. Beware of the low-fat trap

Fat-free or low-fat cookies and cakes may seem like a guilt-free way to indulge, but stop and read the label first. Manufacturers often use more sugar (and calories) in an effort to maintain flavor. In addition, it may be a bit unfair to be so afraid of fat - there are some beneficial monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil and chestnut oil. These can reduce your appetite so you don't eat as much.

3. Seal the juice

Liquid calories can add up quickly. One bottle of juice contains the same number of calories as five pieces of fruit. So you might as well eat an orange or grapefruit instead.

4. Moderate Indulgence

If you starve yourself throughout the day, you're on conflict with a big evening meal. So make a habit of eating small amounts at each meal - this will increase your energy and control your appetite. A smaller meal reduces your stomach's capacity and makes you feel full faster. Any advice for dessert? Here's a simple "three bites" rule: "Use a teaspoon to fill the dessert - that's the first bite. Then take two more bites." Savor the flavors. Do you feel more distracted now -- and less tempted to overindulge yourself?

5. Find H2O

You are craving something. chocolate? ice cream? In fact, you may just be thirsty. Many people mistake thirst for hunger. So you just need to find a bottle of water. Likewise, down a glass of H2O before dinner to help you feel full.

6. Eat with principles

Most people find it easy to eat more when they eat out. Here's a quick guide to saving calories. At a Mexican restaurant, steer clear of the taco salad -- it can push you toward 1,000 calories -- and ask for a chicken or seafood dish instead. Going to an Italian restaurant? Chicken with sauce and pasta dishes like lasagna are a no-no. You can order the sauce separately or eat grilled fish. If you want veal order the ribs, other veal dishes can be high in fat. Seasoning is required separately.

7. Adjust your pace

Running for 10 minutes is better than running and walking, right? wrong. By switching up, you'll burn more calories. So, run for five minutes, walk for five minutes.

8. Eliminate by walking

Think about this: The average adult walks 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day; at that rate you're just maintaining your weight. But if you increase your steps to 10,000 a day, and you don't overeat, you should start to lose weight. Buy a pedometer and wear it on your hip; take the stairs instead of the elevator, and take a walk during your lunch break.
