How To Lose Weight Without Dieting?
If you are looking to lose weight without subjecting yourself to stringent dieting rules, read on.
Define clear weight loss goals
Write down your goals for weight loss. Make sure each goal is realistic and that you include a time line. Break down large long-term goals into monthly or weekly goals so you can stay with the plan without feeling pressure. It is important to write these goals on paper, and put them in a place where you can see them every day.
Reward yourself for achieving goals
Every time you reach a goal, reward yourself with something. For best results, that reward shouldn’t be food. Reward your new healthier lifestyle with a 30-minute massage, or with a new exercise tape, or movie tickets – anything that celebrates you and your success without sabotage.
Drink plenty of water
Stay hydrated drinking 30 ml of pure (filtered mineral) water for every pound of your body weight. That means, if you aim for 68 kg, you need to drink 2.25 liters of water every day – it’s between 9 and 10 2.5 dl glasses.
Drink a glass of water immediately after waking up. And, throughout the day, every time you feel that your energy starts to drop, drink another glass of water. Pure filtered mineral water can actually improve your mood.
Eat a nutritious breakfast
Start your day with a nutritious meal, and include some proteins. For maximum energy and concentration throughout the day, include complex carbohydrates such as natural whole grains or bread, as well as reduced fat and protein such as from skim milk, cottage cheese, or yogurt with a little fat.
Exercise daily
Become motivated to have daily exercise. Your daily exercise program doesn’t need to be strenuous. You just have to be vigilant. There are lots of ways to avoid boredom and raise the excitement of daily exercise. Try to walk or run outside instead of running on the treadmill. Or listen to a motivating audio-book or MP3 while you exercising.
Eat because of health
Think about food in terms such as “you reap what you sow”. Choose food full of nutrients.
Eat for energy
Whenever you overeat, your body starts to lose energy. Think about food as a fuel. You should have a notebook where you could write down how your body and mind react to different choices of meals.
Change the way look at yourself
Help your mind and spirit to accept your new body image with the techniques for changing behavior. Some known or completely unknown CD-s or audio-cassette, may help to imagine a fit, slim, healthy person who likes to exercise.
Get inspired
Subscribe to healthy living and fitness magazines. These magazines contain articles about reduced calorie recipes rich in nutrients as well as inspiring stories of success in losing weight.
Stop eating after dinner
Stop eating snacks after dinner!
Join a support group
It can be a group composed of family members or neighbors – all who are committed to improving their health – or just an online weight loss community. Talk about challenges and triumphs of living because it is very motivating.
Plot your success for inspiration
You should write down your efforts as you lose weight to the last detail. This can be achieved with a hand drawn chart, a simple spreadsheet on the pc or via an online community. Track your food intake, water intake and exercise throughout the day. And be sure to weigh each week at the same time, so you are be able to follow your weight loss as it happens.
Be active, stay inspired, believe!
