Thin Women's Diet-Free Weight Loss Secrets

The answer to losing weight is, in theory, straightforward.

All you have to do is eat well and exercise regularly.

But it's far easier said than done. We spoke with ladies who never diet to find out how they stay slender.

And I can attest to the fact that they work! I've tried the most of them, and they've helped me lose 13 pounds in the last month - without requiring any more activity or eating less than usual.

1. WALK EVERYWHERE

The world's postmen (and postwomen) are correct. There is no snow, no rain, no hail, no sleet...

Installing an app on your phone to track your steps is a smart way to ensure you achieve at least 10,000 steps every day.

Walk everywhere to achieve this aim. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Place your car further away from the mall's entrance. Borrow your neighbor's dog and go on a stroll with it.

Your body will feel physically energetic and you will lose weight if you walk 10,000 steps every day. Win-win.

2. BE AWARE OF YOUR STRESS LEVELS

If you're having trouble losing belly fat, your stress levels might be to blame. Stress causes the body to produce cortisol, which raises blood sugar levels.

A rise in blood sugar over a long period of time causes fat to be accumulated in our stomach, which is one of the most troublesome locations for women. When you learn to cope with stress more effectively, you will rely less on calorie restriction or increased exercise to lose stubborn fat. You probably don't need to do one of these things to lose tummy fat.

3. DON’T EAT IN FRONT OF A SCREEN

That covers all televisions, phones, laptops, and tablets. Distracted eaters consume more and are less likely to recall how much they ate, sometimes by as much as 25%.

When we are distracted by electronics, we frequently eat calories carelessly. This one simple rule helps me to be more careful of what I eat and how much I consume.

4. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BODY IMAGE

Most people will not be able to achieve their weight-loss objectives until they learn to appreciate themselves and their bodies.

Body image issues based on self-esteem can lead to a desire to eat, which produces hormones that provide a brief bliss or numbing sensation. This is what most binge eaters experience.

Accepting your existing physique and then aiming for reasonable body weight is the greatest method to avoid this warped thinking.

5. DON’T OBSESS OVER WEIGHT LOSS

When your head is in good shape, your body will naturally follow. Put your energy into other hobbies, interests, and endeavors that provide significance to your life.

When we are so focused on self-improvement, we simply do not make an effort to live in the present moment.

We may gain so much by letting go of the idea that our bodies must be repaired.

6. STAY HYDRATED

Water helps you lose weight by getting your blood moving through your body. Hydration is essential for avoiding misleading hunger cues.

Aim for 8 glasses (or 64 oz) of unsweetened fluids each day, which should include water, sparkling water, and unsweetened tea.

7. PRIORITIZE SELF CARE

Self-care is essential for both mental and physical health. According to research, a more psychological approach to weight management can successfully stop periods of losing and gaining weight.

This might involve getting enough rest, arranging relaxation, making time for family and friends, or spending alone time doing something pleasurable.

Saying 'no' to obligations or activities that would be depleting rather than stimulating is also an option.

8. DON’T STUFF YOURSELF

Stop eating if your stomach feels like it's going to burst.

It appears easy enough, but it might be more difficult than it appears (especially when the food is good).

Here's a challenging but useful suggestion for when I'm ready to fasten my jeans and I simply have to have those final few bites. Pour salt on whatever it is and destroy it so that you can't have any more of it. It basically leaves you with no option except to quit eating.

9. FIND A WAY TO MOVE THAT YOU LOVE DOING

Exercise as a substitute for dieting is seldom pleasurable. So, attempt to discover a physical activity that you enjoy.

You'll be more likely to include it into your daily or weekly routine this way. Exercise does not have to include pounding the pavement on a treadmill or sweating it out in a class. Get outside or try something new to find out what works best for your body.

10. DON’T RESTRICT THE FOODS YOU LOVE

Avoid labeling anything as "bad" if you want to have a better connection with food.

It's tempting to follow the newest diet fad by eliminating gluten, carbohydrates, sugar, or processed foods, but it's not necessary to do so in order to maintain a healthy weight.

Restricting specific foods, especially ones you enjoy, just serves to increase your obsession with them and your proclivity to overeat when your willpower fails (and it usually gives in eventually).

11. GET ENOUGH SLEEP

You may have heard that those who are chronically sleep-deprived are more prone to be overweight. That's because we all manufacture ghrelin, a hormone that tells your body when it's time to eat.

Sleep deprivation increases ghrelin production, making you feel hungry even when you don't need to eat.

When I am well-rested, I have more stamina to go to the gym, work more effectively, and fight temptations for sweets or junk food.
