5 Tips To Loss Weight Without Trying For IT

When most people think of losing weight, they see it as a huge list of foods you cannot eat and a long list of exercises that you must do every day as you carefully calculate your calorie intake to make sure that you’re on track. However, the truth is that by doing these 5 things, you can lose weight without even trying!

1. SHRINK YOUR PLATE SIZE

By using smaller plates, you will automatically eat less because you won’t be putting as much food on your plate. A recent study revealed that people who switched to plates that were just 9 to 10 inches in diameter were able to lose 18 pounds in a year!

2. DRINK BEFORE YOU EAT

About half an hour before you sit down for dinner, start drinking a 16-ounce glass of water. By drinking plenty of water before you eat, you will eat less since your stomach is full of water and the water will also help to make sure that your metabolism is working, which results in you burning more calories.

3. SWAP OUT UNHEALTHY FOODS

By making a few simple swaps with your food choices, you can cut your calorie count way down without any extra effort. For example, choosing almond milk instead of skimmed milk will cut down your calorie count from milk by about 75%. Choosing grapes instead of raisins will cut the count for that snack in half, and going with turkey patties instead of beef on your next burger night will reduce your calorie count by 50%. Not bad at all!

4. MOVE MORE

The more you move, the more calories you will be burning and the better you will feel, but this doesn’t necessarily mean going to the gym for 2 hours a day or waking up an hour early to go for a run. What it means is that you should take the stairs instead of the lift/elevator and park further away from the building. You’d be surprised at how many extra calories you will burn when you start to build movement into everything that you do.

5. EAT MORE OFTEN

It sounds like this would cause you to actually gain weight, but breaking up your normal 3 meals into 5 to 6 meals a day will actually help you lose weight. This is because when you eat a large meal, your body isn’t able to digest and instantly use all of the calories it takes in, which means storing some for fat. So, when you eat several smaller meals throughout the day, your body can use all of the energy from that meal and start working on your fat reserves until you get to the next small meal.
