Best Ways To Lose Weight Without Dieting

 

Pay attention to portions. We are so use to large portions, that we often indulge in far more than we need. You don’t have to change the types of food you eat. Simply watch the portions you are eating. Start with half of what your normal portion would be for each item in your meal. If you are still truly hungry, allow yourself another half serving of vegetables instead of the main dish. You will quickly learn that full larger portions are much more than you really need.

 

Eat slowly. All too often we eat so fast that we barely taste our food. Not only does eating fast leave you feeling dissatisfied because you don’t really taste and savor the food, but your body doesn’t have the time to adjust and may still be sending you hunger signals. Take the time to sit down and eat slowly savoring each bite so you enjoy the food and allow your body the time to send you the signal that you are full.

 

Keep a food journal. We often don’t realize how often we are snacking or indulging in little bits of food throughout the day that add up. From finishing half of your kids sandwich, to having a few handfuls of nuts throughout the day you may be tacking on a lot more calories than you realize. A food journal is one of the best ways to lose weight without dieting.

 

Stop eating at your desk. Another big problem that can pack on pounds is not moving away from your work while you eat. If you work at home, or in an office where lunch breaks are often worked through, this can be tough. You need to turn off your work for at least half an hour and take a legitimate break. Focus on your food and relaxation. Your body needs this break to digest your food, taste the flavors of your food and rest.

 

Eat regular meals. So many people skip meals thinking that is a quick and easy way to lose weight, but in fact it does more harm than good. Your body need regular meals, and if you starve it by only eating one meal a day, it will actually burn fewer calories. Your body puts itself into starvation mode and conserves calories instead of burning them. Instead, you need to eat at least 3 regular meals per day, but 5 smaller meals is an even better choice so your body is always fueled properly.

 

These are the best ways to lose weight without dieting. They are not restrictive, nor do they cost you money. They are very simply common sense actions that can make a huge impact on your health.
