Therefore, there’s no universal answer for everyone, but an approximate value can be determined by a person’s height.

How to Look Slimmer in Photos: 12 Tricks Without Filters

photoHow to Look Slimmer in Photos: 12 Simple Tricks Without Filters

Sometimes a person looks in the mirror and likes what they see, but then looks at a photo and is surprised: why does the body look wider, the legs shorter, and the posture worse?

It's not always about appearance. The camera captures volume differently than the human eye. The result is affected by the distance to the lens, the position of the phone, lighting, pose, clothing, and even where the toes are pointed.

To look slimmer in photos, you don’t have to suck in your stomach, use strong filters, or hide behind other people. It’s enough to minimize camera distortions and choose a position where your body looks natural.

Let’s look at 12 simple tricks that are useful for full-length photos, family pictures, selfies, vacation shots, and tracking weight loss progress.


The weight has stayed the same for two weeks: is this a plateau or water retention?

Две недели без снижения веса находятся на границе между обычным колебанием массы тела и возможным плато. Делать вывод только по сегодняшней цифре рано. Сначала нужно посмотреть средний вес за неделю, изменения объемов и события, которые могли вызвать задержку жидкости.

Разберемся, как отличить плато от воды и что делать, если вес не снижается уже 14 дней.

A 1300 kcal menu can be varied, filling, and quite ordinary. For weight loss, you don't have to eat only salads, cottage cheese, and dry chicken breast all day. You can include porridge, grains, potatoes, fruit, nuts, meat, and fish in your diet.

The main thing is to properly calculate portion sizes and keep in mind foods that are easy to overlook: vegetable oil, nuts, sauces, milk in coffee, and small snacks.


How to Count Oil When Frying, Baking, and in Salads | SIT30

масло при приготовлении блюдаHow to Account for Oil When Frying, Baking, and Dressing Salads

Oil often becomes the source of an unnoticed mistake in a food diary. A person carefully weighs meat, grains, and vegetables, but adds oil to the pan “by eye” or doesn’t log it at all. As a result, the actual calorie content of the dish turns out to be higher than calculated.

This is especially common when frying. Did all the oil stay in the pan or did some get absorbed by the food? Should you record the whole spoonful or just a few grams? How should you account for oil if the dish was prepared for the entire family?

Okroshka is especially good on a hot day, when you crave a cold, fresh, and filling dish. You can prepare it with kvass, kefir, ayran, mineral water, or a mixture of fermented milk drink and water.

There is no single “correct” okroshka recipe. In one family, sausage is a must, in another, chicken or beef is used, and someone else may make it meat-free. The dressing also varies: from sweetish kvass to sour kefir with mustard.

мед при похуденииHoney: Beneficial Properties, Calorie Content, and Is It Allowed During Weight Loss

Honey is often called a healthy substitute for sugar. It is added to tea, porridge, cottage cheese, homemade desserts, and lemon drinks. For those watching their weight, this raises a logical question: can you eat honey during weight loss, or will its high calorie content prevent you from creating a deficit?

Short answer: honey can be included in a weight loss diet. You don't need to ban it, but you do need to monitor the amount. It’s primarily a source of sugars, not a product with unique fat-burning properties.


Why did my weight increase after a workout?

How Long Does Post-Workout Weight Gain Last and When Should It Go Away

In the morning after a workout, the scale may show an increase of 300 grams, a kilogram, or even more. This can be especially concerning if you are maintaining a calorie deficit and expect to see a drop in weight.

Most often, this gain is not related to fat. After unusual or intense exercise, muscles recover, the amount of water and glycogen changes, and you may consume more fluids and food. All this is reflected on the scale more quickly than actual changes in fat mass.
