How to lost weight in a healthy way?

Question

beside from exercising.

Answer 1

To lose weight, you need to be using more calories than you take in. This is either by reducing your calorie intake (by changing your diet) or increasing your calorie use (by increasing your amount of exercise).

The first key thing to remember is to do it gradually. A lot of people go in there wanting to lose a lot of weight quickly, which is a)not healthy and b)not sustainable. Since you are not interested in exercise, then the only other method is by changing your diet.

Here are some tips for changing your diet. Instead of drinking sugar filled drinks - switch to water or fruit juice. If you want a snack, choose something healthy like a fruit/veg. Make sure you do not skips meals and always have breakfast(this is very important). It also may be useful to keep a food diary just to have an idea of what you eat and what you can change. The important thing is do it in a way that is sustainable. Dont' suddenly eradicate all sugar drinks and junk food from your diet. You just won't keep it up and will probably end up binging on them after deciding you cannot sustain that kind of diet. Instead choose one small thing to change. For instance, start of substituting one sugar filled drink a day with a healthier drink. And once you've got the hang of that start making it two drinks a day. etc

Answer 2

Answer 4

First of all congratulations on your decision to help yourself. :)
I am a personal fitness trainer and enjoy helping people like you every day. :)
I understand how much you don't want to depend on the exercise on your way to loose weight but unfortunately there is no way to lose and most important keep your weight off without it.
You can try to take fat burning pills and be on the diet for the rest of your life but without healthy lifestyle you still under risk of heart desiase, diabeties, high blood pressure, etc., etc....

Why does weight lifting reduce stress, the causes are preventable like aging?
Exercise has been proven to relax the body and mind, burn fat, improve cardiovascular system, bring it more oxygen, reduce the chance of desiases, lower blood pressure and the list goes on.

During the stress responce, many chemical reactions occur in the body preparing it to what is know is the "fight or flight effect".

During prehistoric days as the cave dwellers, we had the opportunity to burn our stress when an animal attacked, as it was a means of survival. We were able to run away or fight the threat immediatelly.

In today society we do not have to fight a bear or a tiger, so we don't have much an outlet readily at hand to burn off the stress or pent up negative emotions.

Therefore, we carry it with us creating emotional and physical problems.
Exercise can help by providing an outlet for negative emotions such as worry, irritabillity, depression, hostility, anger, frustration and enxiety. You can dessipate these feelings by simply taking it out on the tennis court, by running, or punching a bag.

Regular exercise provides the opportunity to manage the "fight or flight responce" and helps the body to return to a homeostasis or balanced state more quickly.

Btw, same thing happens when you drink caffeinated drinks. Caffeine releases a high level of epinephrine (adrenaline) and to a lesser extend norepinephrine to your blood streem.
These hormones facilitate immediate physical reactons associated with a preparation for a violent muscular action.

And most of the time what we are doing with a cup of coffee in the morning or a coke? We are in our comfortable chairs in the office working with a paperwork... LOL So stay away from caffeine. :)
All these causes a lot of health and mental problems. So I do recommend you at least consider a moderate exercise. :)


Here are basic recommendations that you can start with.

Food as Fuel:

Going without breakfast because you planning a big dinner is as silly as filling up your car's gas tank after you finish the trip. Eat all of the foods that are good for you; whole grains, vegetables, fruites and lean proteins that you enjoy. Eat 6 small meals a day. Eating smaller meals more often will help to speed up your metabolism. Missing meals slow your metabolism. Also chew your food at least 30-40 times every time you take a bite. This will slow down your meal time and it easier to digest your food.

Hunger can stress the body and trigger the release of cotisol, a hormone that encourages the storage of fat in the abdomen. To keep hunger under control, split your meals and snacks into 5 or 6 minimeals.

Water - Drink TONS of water!

If you add 2-3 liters of water to you diet you will feel better - PROMISE. You will have to use the restroom often, BUT you will loose weight, inches, feel less bloated, and retain less water IF you add water to your diet. Men who are overweight should add up to galon of water a day. Sip throgh out the day for best result.

Your Body Needs Daily Exercise.

The only way to be fit is to exercise on the regular basis: daily if possible. Some benefits of daily exercise are: you don't get sick as often, you have more energy and you sleep better. Exercise doesn't have to be structured.
If it is something you enjoy doing, you'll look forward to it. Walking or riding a bike with your children to school is fun. Even though it may only be a couple of miles, it is something.
If you aren't looking forward to your next workout, do something else. Walking is probably one of the best fat burning exercises you can do - just walk more!

Have Realistic Expectations

You dont get out of shape over night so do not expect to loose weight over night neither. You can loose 10-12 pounds a month just by exercising more - without dieting! I promise you will feel better, get more fit and reach a higher level of satisfaction by starting slowly and expecting moderate weight and measurement losses.
Think within longer time frames, and a pound or two on a scale won't seam so important.

Cross-Training

Every few weeks plan a change in your routine. Note only will your mind be more challenged, your body will have to adapt and the body will benefit from the new stimuli. The body is an amazing adaptable machine. It will begin to burn less fat as an energy source for the same activity if you don't change your programe regularly.

Get 7 to 8 hours of shut-eye a night

Chronic sleep deprivation can raise cortisol levels. It can also drive down levels of the appetite-control hormone leptin, making you feel hungry.

Laugh more

Here's a tactic anyone can stick with! In a study conducted at Loma Linda University, men and women who watched a humorous video had 30% less cortisol in their blood not only while watching the tape but also up to 24 hours later.

And at last, I do use natural fat burning pills before bodybuilding shows and many of my customers use that as well. These pills are not chemical formulas so it just will help to speed up your metabolism.
