Most people understand that the word “diet” means a period of time where they try to restrict what they eat in order to lose weight. Instead consider the word diet as a lifestyle choice of being in control of what you eat. You can do this by picking one of the techniques below as something that you can choose to do today and then do it. When you get bored with it or it becomes a habit move onto the next ‘choose to do’ tip. The first tip to use will sound counter-intuitive but it is a really good way to dump the traditional diet way of thinking.
Eat small, eat often
If you don’t eat at continual, regular intervals throughout the day, you might well unsettle your blood sugar and insulin levels. This can lead to additional fat storage and reduce your metabolism. Both these factors can lead to significant weight gain. So to begin your no diet diet programme eat something every few hours and never let yourself feel hungry from one main meal to the next. Remember little and often may actually help you regain command of your eating habits. Because of this it is important not to skip breakfast as research proves that those who skip breakfast eat more during the rest of the day, in addition breakfast helps to kick start your metabolism.
When eating main meals don’t eat too much.
Be conscious of your portion sizes. Whatever portion size you currently have, reduce it by five percent. In reality this might make no difference to how full you feel afterwards but will impact on the amount of calories that you take in. Also by doing this consciously, you’ll start to feel better as you are taking control. Remember after a meal you should feel satisfied not bloated.
Clean your teeth after each main meal.
You would consider this for two reasons; firstly the movement of cleaning your teeth signals the end of mealtime and stops you from consuming more; secondly cleaning your teeth changes the flavours in your mouth and over time this becomes a powerful signal that it’s time to stop consuming.
Increase your metabolism.
You probably know this already but studies show that any additional exercise plays a vital part in no diet weightloss. The trick is to find an activity that you can do in addition to whatever you do at the moment – it could be something as simple as taking the stairs rather than the elevator every now and again would be a good start. Find an activity that works for you that you enjoy doing and go do it.
Four Bites And You’re Out!
We all eat things that we know are bad for our weight as they are always the things that taste so good! So when you do have the urge to stray keep in mind that you taste 100% of the first bite; 50% the second bite; 25% the third bite; and 0% the fourth bite. That’s good, because you get all the ‘sugar hit’ benefit from the first four bites – anything after that you won’t really taste and will simply put on weight. It’s much better to save the remainder of the chips, cookies, cakes, chocolate etc until the next time you get the need.
So there you have, it five straightforward no diet weight loss tips that will help you to lose weight without ever having to go on a traditional diet.
