6 Ways of Losing Weight Naturally Without Exercise
Obesity is a complex disease involving an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity is not just a cosmetic problem. It is a medical problem that increases the risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure …..
There are 6 key things you need to know that are keeping you from reaching your weight loss goals! They are the following:
1. Reduce your meal portions and eat more often
Rather than eating a ridiculous caveman breakfast, lunch and dinner, break it down into six smaller meals a day. Note Eating often is different from eating more in general.
2. Drink more water
Water is a healthy and cheap choice to quench thirst at any time. People often confuse thirst with hunger and end up consuming extra calories when the body needs water. Plain tea, fruit tea and coffee (without added sugar) can also be healthy. If you don’t like the taste of plain water, try sparkling water or add a slice of lemon or lime.
3. Sleep
Lack of sleep affects your ability to judge what is good for your body, causing you to crave fats and sugars and binge on food.
It is also advisable to sleep in dark rooms, as this helps your body produce melatonin, a sleep hormone that influences the body’s metabolism, including helping to convert brown fat into white fat.
4. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
Eat more fiber. Fiber is the substance in food that helps you feel full and stay full longer. Eating lots of low-calorie, high-volume fruits and vegetables helps you avoid higher-fat, higher-calorie foods. Fill your kitchen with plenty of fruits and vegetables, and with every meal and snack, include a few servings.
5. Fill up on protein as well.
Protein naturally helps you feel full by influencing the production of satiety hormones. Protein takes time to digest, so you’re unlikely to feel like snacking after a high-protein meal. For maximum impact, aim for 20 grams per meal of lean protein such as fish, chicken, turkey, eggs and low-fat dairy products.
6. Eat without distraction.
It’s easy to overeat if you’re not focused on what you’re eating. Put away the phone (or turn off the TV or other distractions) to enjoy each bite. Mindful eating by chewing slowly is another way to focus on what you’re eating, so you’re really aware of when you’re full.
