The Secrets to Losing Weight without Exercise

The Secrets to Losing Weight without Exercise

Posted by David Nickum Weight Loss, Health

It is said that in order to lose weight, one must eat less and exercise more. It’s true that exercise burns some serious calories and can greatly help you in your weight loss journey; however, this doesn’t mean you can’t lose weight without exercising.

If you don’t like to exercise and still want to lose weight, it is totally fine. It’s your life and your choice, so you can go about your weight- loss journey the way you like it. And we are going to help you in your journey to ensure that you make sound choices. If you don’t like to exercise, read these secrets that can help you lose weight without moving a muscle.

Sleep Early

Getting under the sheets early can help you lose weight. When you sleep early, you will be able to avoid unhealthy late-night snacks that add more fat to your body. Moreover, never miss a full night’s sleep as it slows down the metabolism of your body. Get at least seven hours of sleep to burn calories.

Never Skip Meals

If you skip one regular meal like morning breakfast, your hunger-related hormone will go out of control and you’ll end up overeating at the next meal time. Therefore, if you want to lose weight, never skip meals. Moreover, if you’re feeling hungry between regular meals, don’t hold yourself back from eating something. However, make sure that the food you consume between meals is light and healthy like nuts, beans, etc.

Limit Variety

When you are trying to shed those extra pounds, placing a variety of food items on your dining table won’t help you. You may be tempted to eat more when there is more variety. In one study, when participants were offered mayonnaise and ketchup for dipping alongside fries, they ended up eating more fries. Thus, when you are trying to lose weight without exercising, limit the variety of food items to control your cravings.

Weigh Yourself more Often

personal training

No fat person wants to see the disappointing numbers on the scale that reminds them of how obese they are. However, weighing yourself more often can help you reach your weight loss goal. Frequently tracking results by self-weighing will keep you aware of your progress and you’ll eat less to get to your destined number.

Eat Without Distractions

Paying attention while you are eating can help you shed those extra pounds. People who mostly eat while playing games or watching TV can lose track of how much food they have consumed. This can lead to overeating. Therefore, if you are want to lose weight without moving a muscle, minimize distractions when you are eating.

Eat a Healthy Breakfast

Don’t pile up the bread and bacon in your breakfast. Instead, eat a healthy breakfast every day that’s rich in protein. Eating a protein-rich breakfast will help you better control your hunger during the rest of the day. You won’t be tempted to eat unhealthy snacks. Consider peanut butter, yoghurt or eggs for breakfast.

Use Smaller Plates

Most people in America eat food in 11 or 12 inches wide plates. Eating in plates of relatively smaller size can help you cut the amount of food you eat every day. It is a simple way to lose weight: all you need to do is get smaller plates.

Grab Almonds

personal training

Snacking on nuts has been linked with lower waist circumference. Nuts are high in protein and unsaturated fats, which makes them a much more satisfying snack item than Pringles. However, make sure to only eat a handful.

Say No to Sugary Drinks

Beverages that contain high amounts of sugar should be avoided when you are trying to lose weight as they have been linked with obesity. Consuming sweetened drinks doesn’t make you feel full like eating solid food does, meaning that you will always over-consume these drinks. If you want to fulfill your need for sugar, try eating juicy fruits like berries.

Stay Away from Unhealthy Foods

Keep all unhealthy foods out of your reach. If you just leave unhealthy snacks on the dining table, you won’t be able to resist the temptation to grab a packet of chips and cut it open to enjoy a tasty treat. Tell a friend or family member to hide all your chocolates and chips away. These unhealthy snacks can derail your weight loss journey, so you must stay away from them at all costs.

Keep a Record

Record everything you eat in a food journal. This will keep you aware of how much food you are consuming and keep you honest with your diet. Many people resist this thinking that it’s hard to keep a record of everything. However, it is quite easy and if you think that keeping a journal is hard download an app that can help you record everything you are eating.

Chew Your Food

Satiety signals reach the brain in about twenty minutes, so don’t just scarf down all those chips in 10 minutes flat. Chew your food slow to give your body a chance to feel fuller and let everything you eat move through the process of digestion. The first few bites of the food are the most satisfying so make each of them count.

We have laid down the top secrets that can help you lose weight without exercising, but know this that our motive is not to degrade the value of exercise. If you want to see major progress with your weight-loss journey, it is best to work out as you can burn more calories by moving your muscles. Follow these secrets to losing weight without exercising only if you hate to work out or have a medical condition that makes you incapable of working out regularly.
