Tips to Lose Weight Without Dieting.

 Can I Lose Weight Without Dieting?

There are certainly plenty of ways to lose weight “quickly,” most of which involve either weight loss surgery or fad diets that claim to make you shed pounds rapidly. These diets, even though useful at times, can leave you feel starved and deprived, the worst part being that the pounds you shed through those diets can come back in place very quickly. To keep them off permanently, the best way to go is to lose weight gradually and the only way to do that is without being on a “diet.” Instead, make little changes in your lifestyle.

One pound of fat means approximately 3500 calories. By cutting about 500 calories per day through exercise and other modifications, you can shed a pound in a week. If you just want to maintain your current weight, cutting about 100 calories per day is sufficient. Adopt these simple and starvation-free strategies for losing weight without dieting:

1. Eating breakfast
Usually people believe that skipping breakfast is an easy way of cutting calories; however, that usually leads to consuming more calories throughout the day, according to Web MD. According to the website, research has shown that people who eat breakfast usually have lower BMIs than those who skip breakfasts.

2. No entry in the kitchen at night:
Set a time for yourself and close the kitchen after that. This will allow you to avoid late night munching and snacking whilst you watch the TV.

3. Eating more produce:
Eating lots of vegetables and high volume fruits crowds out from your system the high fat and high calorie food items. Start the main meal of the day with a vegetable soup, according to Barbara Rolls (author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan). According to the government’s 2005 Dietary Guidelines, an average adult should get 7 to 13 cups of produce everyday.

4. Control your surroundings:
Avoid temptations and stay away from buffet restaurants and parties. Before going to parties, make yourself a healthy snack. Also, before hitting back the buffet area at a restaurant, wait for at least 15 minutes and drink plenty of water.

 
5. Reduce portions:
You can lose weight without doing anything else but trimming your portions to not more than 10 to 20 percent. Most portions served at restaurants and even at home are typically bigger than your requirement. Use small bowls, cups and plates at home for this purpose.

 

6. Increase your steps:
Get a pedometer and increase to about 10,000 steps per day. Be active while talking to on the phone, marching in place at home, taking the dog out for a walk and basically increasing your activity throughout the day.
