Discover how to lose weight without
dieting. You don't have to count calories to drop a few sizes; check out these 10 tips to get in shape without suffering.
1.- Eat slowly
Savor each bite and don't rush your meals. The signals that your stomach sends to your brain to let you know you're satisfied are slow and can take up to 20 minutes after you're full. If you take your time, you'll stop eating when you actually don't want more.
2.- Sleep more.
The recommendation is to sleep eight hours a night. According to a researcher from the University of Michigan, sleeping one hour longer than usual can help you lose up to 6 kg a year.
3.- Do you like pizza?
No problem as long as you eat in moderation and order it with only vegetables. This way, you'll have a balanced meal that includes carbohydrates, fats, and vegetables.
4.- If you consume sugary drinks, drink them from a tall, thin glass.
According to researcher Brian Wansink from Cornell University, visual stimuli can make you eat more or less. When you see a tall, thin glass, it gives the impression of being a lot of liquid. In contrast, a short, wide glass seems to hold less water, and thus we consume more. Using a tall and thin option will decrease your consumption by 25 to 30%.
5.- Practice relaxation exercises like Yoga.
It has been proven in various medical publications in the United States that women who do yoga weigh less than others on average.
6.- Choose tomato-based sauces.
Whenever you have to choose between red sauces and cream-based sauces, choose the red ones. Tomato-based sauces usually have much fewer calories and more vitamins than the others.
7.- Chewing gum.
Diet gum sends a message to the brain that you're eating without consuming calories. Plus, the flavor of the gum (it can be mint or spearmint) will make you less inclined to crave other foods while you chew.
8.- Never eat alone.
Having meals with others usually leads to pauses between bites for conversation, which is good as it gives your digestive system time to function without stress.
9.- Don’t skip breakfast.
One might think that skipping a meal saves calories, but it has been proven that those who have a good breakfast perform better throughout the day and burn calories more effectively. A good option is a multigrain cereal with fruit and some low-fat dairy to start the day.
10.- Eat a variety of foods.
We all have a routine diet, and whether you are Mexican, Japanese, or American, it's always good to vary your diet. This prevents your stomach from getting used to the same foods and keeps it working and identifying new options. As long as a balanced diet is maintained, you can switch from Italian recipes to Chinese, passing through Arab and French dishes without problems.
