’25 Simple Ways To Lose Weight Without Exercise’ – Monica May

 

We all know that the key to losing weight is balance diet and exercise.

However, we get busy, and we don’t always have the time to keep up with a workout routine.

And many of you get confused and give up, without knowing that you can actually lose weight without exercising too, and today I’m showing you exactly how!

In fact, when it comes to weight loss and getting healthy, diet beats workout.

There’s no doubt that a combination of the two is the key to weight loss, fitness and health, but if we had to choose between these two I would pick nutrition.

In my article Diet Vs. Workout – What’s more important? I talk all about it, so if you’d like to learn more, go ahead and check it out.

A short disclaimer here – I really don’t want to encourage you to avoid exercise.
However, if you really don’t like exercising, or just don’t have the time to do it, you can 

That being said, let’s get started with my 25 simple ways to lose weight without exercise!

25 Simple Ways To Lose Weight Without Exercise

1. Avoid Sugars and Bad Carbs

Sugars are the main cause we’re gaining weight and getting unhealthy in the first place.

They’re toxic to our body, addictive and cheap energy with no nutrients at all.

And we don’t need them, in fact we will speed up the weight loss just by avoiding them.

Not only sugars as anything that’s sweet, but carbs such as pasta, white bread, ketchup, dressings, and anything that’s high processed carbohydrate, far away from it’s natural state.

Keep these foods out of your diet, and you’ll see results fast!

2. Keep It As Raw As Possible

Eat foods that are raw, instead of buying foods that are highly processed.

For example, it’s a hundred times better to make your own oatmeal with rolled oats, fresh fruit and nut butter, than to go for an instant oatmeal you can find on the market shelf.

Highly processed foods have less fiber, and are loaded with tons of unhealthy ingredients you can’t pronounce.

3. Lower Your Calorie Intake

The fewer calories you intake, the more weight you’ll lose.

Be careful to eat enough to satisfy your hunger.

4. BUT Always Focus On Healthy Instead Of Focusing On Calories

What’s inside those calories is what counts in the end.

So always focus on choosing healthy foods instead of low calorie unhealthy foods.

For example, a handful of almonds is always a better choice than a glass of Coca Cola ZERO.

5. Drink Water

Change up your usual rinks with water.

Liquid calories are the worst, so make sure to swap your juices with water.

It will help you feel full, will speed up your metabolism and will clean your digestive tract.

6. Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The oils you cook with play a huge role in weight loss.

The refined oils every one of us has in the kitchen are bad for our body and even worse for our health.

Instead, use extra virgin olive oil.

7. Never Skip Breakfast

Seriously, always eat breakfast!

This is most certainly not the time to cut down your calories, since this is the time of the day when you should be eating most of your calories – you need them to jump-start the day with great energy.

8. Be Careful With Fruits

Fruits are natural, but they are still filled with sugars and a bunch of calories.

So make sure you avoid overeating them, especially later in the day.

Eat 1 or 2 pieces of fruit a day and make sure to have them as they are – whole fruits.

9. Avoid Alcohol

Alcohol will do you no good:

It dehydrates, loads you up with empty calories that will not satisfy your hunger and makes you don’t give a crap about your weight loss efforts.

Not only that drinking alcohol will ruin your weight loss efforts but people are most likely to cheat on their diets on night outs, so be careful.

10. Start Following A Meal Plan

As plain as this sounds, our mind works that way.

People that are following certain plan are more likely to follow that plan and stick to it until they hit their goal.

The great news is I can help with that.

I designed a 28-Day meal plan that works for everyone.

11. Eat Volume Veggies

Broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, eggplant, Brussels sprouts… these are veggies that will load you up and make you feel satisfied with fewer calories.

Eat more veggies, instead of loading your dish with carbs.

12. Chew Your Foods

Chewing is a big part of eating right.

Your meals will last longer, which is a great thing since your brain will have the right sign for when you’ve had enough.

13. Cut Out Simple Carbohydrates

Avoid carbohydrates that are highly processed and provide zero nutrition.

Instead, eat complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice, whole grains, beans, peas and vegetables.

14. Eat Healthy Snacks

Peanuts, brown rice chips, veggies with healthy dips, pistachios, peanut butter..

Here’s a list of The Best Snacks For Weight Loss

15. But Don’t Snack Late At Night

You’re not hungry, you’re just bored!

Drink a glass of water and go to sleep.

16. Start Your Day With Hot Water

Drinking a glass of hot water to start the day is a great habit.

It will clean the digestion, stimulates bowel movements and aid constipation, improve blood circulation, promote healthy sweating and weight loss and forces toxins out of the body.

17. Eat Salads Daily

They help you feel full and load you with vitamins along the way.

Keep them as a part of your daily menu.

18. Change Up Your Commute

You might not have time to workout, but you sure can make an activity just by changing your commute.

Walk to work, or cycle, or even leave your car home when you’re going for groceries.

It’s in the little things we do.

19. Eat Healthy Breakfast

Having a healthy breakfast and starting your day right is crucial when it comes to losing weight and having a flat belly.

If you start the day right, you’re more likely to keep it healthy for the rest of it.

20. Avoid Liquid Calories

Juices, alcohol drinks, energy drinks, iced teas…you name it!

They’re all just a bunch of unhealthy drinks that will harm your weight loss efforts.

Instead, drink lemon water, infused water (mineral or fresh), herb tea or black coffee.

21. Plan Your Meals

Planning is a crucial point when it comes to weight loss.

How else will you make time to cook your meals?!

Especially planning your meals and making sure you always have the ingredients you need in the fridge and have time to cook them.

22. Read Food Labels

It’s important to know exactly what (and how much) is going into your body — think too much salts, sugars and fat.

Also, the products in the markets are not always as they seem.

Once I bought “Extra Virgin Olive Oil” that turned out to be a blend with 80% refined sunflower oil and only 20% olive oil.

23. Don’t Keep Unhealthy Foods At Home

It may seem wasteful, but it’s not worth the temptation.

24. Cook With Spices

Not only that spices are nutritious and have countless benefits, but they can make a simple food creative and tasty.

25. Learn New Recipes Daily

That’s how you keep it interesting, fun and different.

Healthy food can be delicious and amazing too, so treat yourself with a new recipe every now and then.

I hope I helped you learn new ways to lose those extra inches and maximize your weight loss!
