One of the most popular New Year’s resolutions is to lose weight. And for many people, this means joining a diet plan. However, diets can be hard to stick to.

They leave you feeling hungry or unsatisfied, which are the major reasons why you might find it hard to stick to a healthier eating plan.

Luckily, there are some ways you can lose weight without dieting that involve healthy eating and living habits.

Losing weight doesn’t have to be difficult. These are some easy changes you can make today that will help you get on the right track.

Change your mindset

The first step to losing weight without dieting is to change your mindset. If you think you need a diet plan, then you might not be able to stick to the healthier eating habits that are necessary for weight loss.

Some people find that by changing their mindset they can go on a diet-free weight loss journey.

However, if you want the best of both worlds, it’s important to get support from others who are trying to lose weight as well. It’s always helpful to have someone who will push you when it feels like you can’t go any further.

Eat protein, fat, and vegetables

Protein is an important part of any diet. It’s a building block for muscle, which is important because it helps you burn more calories. Eating fats will also help you lose weight because it slows down your body's digestion process.

Eating vegetables will help you stay full and feel satisfied after meals, which may help with weight loss.

Move your body at least for 30 minutes a day

You don’t have to hit the gym to keep your body moving. Take a walk, run up stairs, dance in your living room—whatever it takes to get your heart rate up for 30 minutes a day.

Moving your body is one of the most important ways to lose weight. It will help you feel better and burn calories. Plus, you’ll be less likely to reach for high-calorie junk food when you’re feeling sluggish.

If you are unable to exercise outside or during work hours, try taking 10-minute walks throughout the day if possible. And remember that any form of exercise is better than no exercise at all!

Drink plenty of water

Staying hydrated is important. If you drink enough water, it can help curb your appetite and keep you feeling full. The Institute of Medicine recommends that adult males drink upwards of 13 cups a day, while adult females should drink 9-11 cups a day.

Make time for yourself

Although it might seem like something you don’t have time for, taking care of yourself can be a key to weight loss.

Taking time for yourself means brushing your teeth and washing your face every day. It means going to bed at a decent hour and getting enough sleep. It also means doing things that make you happy.

Taking care of yourself is important because it helps keep your stress levels down. Stress can cause weight gain, so by doing things to relieve your stress, you can stop it from happening.

If you don't already have a daily routine in place, try following this one:

- Brush your teeth in the morning and in the evening

- Wash your face before bed

- Turn off all electronics at least an hour before bed

- Read a book or magazine before bed

- Smile! This helps release endorphins which will make you feel happier
