3 Easy Secrets to Losing Weight Other than Exercising or Diet Plans!

[Apope16]

Here are secrets to losing weight other than exercising or diet.

I would first like to begin by saying that I am not a medical professional or a fitness expert. I am just a regular guy. I should also point out that about 60% of losing weight is your diet, 30% is your natural genetics, and 10% is what you do in the gym.

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, try this as some beginning steps to your weight loss goals and I promise that you will start to lose weight!

1) Drink one full glasses of water before you eat any meal...

This will trick your body into thinking that it is fuller than it otherwise would be. This is especially true if you drink one full glass of cold water before every meal. You stomach will feel full and you will eat smaller portions. Also, if there is any kind of weight that you want to have in your body during a weight loss period...it is water weight because it is much easier to burn off.

2) Take the stairs!

Taking the stairs not only burns calories when you do it every day...but it also really works your glutes (Butt muscles)...this means you will not only be healthier but looking sexier as well. :-)

3) Laxative Foods?

Eat foods that are high in Dietary Fiber. I know this falls under the diet reference that I was trying to avoid..but... when you eat foods like Brans and large Asian Pears and Beans you will be eating foods that are not only delicious and filling-but also foods that digest excellent in your body. These foods will be delicious and enter your body and then leave out the exit door by the end of the day.

Conclusion

These very simple changes will not create drastic change in your weight loss. But overtime you will see them to be significant. If you have little tricks that you use to lose weight, feel free to comment and post them below as well.

I think it's a bit of a exaggeration to say these things will create that significant of a change in your weight loss without diet and exercise.

Drinking water before a meal is good for digestion, but it isn't necessarily going to inspire weight loss if you aren't taking in the right foods and burning calories through exercise. I know overweight people who drink LITERS of water, and it doesn't have any significant impact in their weight loss because their diet and exercise regime doesn't match up. Mind you, if you find it helps you control your appetite by all means but in my experience it isn't significant enough to stop you from snacking. As comedian Ron White says: "You know what happens when you drink a lot of water? You're less thirsty."

Taking the stairs is... exercise, and I suppose it'll also depend on how many stairs. Walking down the steps of your house (three or four steps) likely won't have an impact but walking multiple flights (in an apartment) couldn't hurt so I agree with this.

Misconception. While having a lot of dietary fiber can indeed help you in digestion (by feeding friendly bacteria in your lower intestine, fighting inflammation and having a mild appetite controlling effect), it's not necessarily going to inspire significant weight loss, again, unless the diet coincides with it. If you eat a can of chickpeas, but sit on your butt every day, consuming more than you burn, you likely won't notice a difference other than you might poop a little easier. I also don't recommend laxatives of any kind for weight loss so not the best use of words.

All in all these are indeed small and relatively positive changes, but unless you include diet and proper exercise you aren't likely to see significant results from minimal changes like these. In my personal experience. That isn't to say little changes don't count, but don't limit yourself. These should ideally be used as stepping stones, but proper nutrition and exercise shouldn't be disregarded.

Nonetheless good suggestions, there's nothing wrong with them as a whole but I wouldn't classify these as secrets to weight loss. Again, in my experience.

@Chico_brah curious to hear your input?

1. That's not really going to make a difference to be honest on average a person should drink 12 or more glasses of water a day and that's just the daily requirement.

2. Again not really going to do much, unless your going up a lot of flights of stairs every single day like going from the top to the bottom of a tall building or vice versa.

3. No... just no.

Honestly people don't listen to this guy, that advice is bad and it's not going to really help you get healthy or lose weight.

[COCOCHANEL]

i recommend banana & sugarless nonfat yogurt smoothies for breakfast. really nice, steady energy all day.

[Elarra]

My issue is that I can't tell when I should really eat. I have a tendency to get hungry every 2-3 hours. And by hungry, I mean I could eat a steak dinner every 2-3 hours. I just happen to be lucky enough to have a decent metabolism but that's not going to last much longer so I need to figure out why I'm always starving.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

Drinking shit makes you more full than eating. Also, it's more recommended to eat 5-6 times a day than 2-3

[Anonymous]

Aah... I'm 17 and my at. Is 67 kg. (Kindly do the math yourself.) I'm 5'. This sucks so much.
Short ht. + Increased wt. + Waist fat + unpredictable zits. = GET OUT BITCH. NOBODY WANTS TO DATE YOU.
YEAH. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I FEEL LIKE.
Any professional help me pls. I got just a yr. And then I'll be moving to a college. I wanna be thinner by then.

*Sigh*

[RJGraveyTrain]

You don't necessarily need a professional, but if you are close to a say, a gym teacher, or have a family doctor, they are the best people to ask about pointers.

I'm not an expert but I have independently done a ton of research into the topic, and what worked for me was the following:

Limit processed foods (nothing in a box or that has more than a few ingredients, preferably ones you can pronounce)
Less sugar
Lean protein or substitutes
Fewer bread-based carbs, that which you do take in, opt for a whole wheat variety.
Lots of veggies and fruit
Proper vitamin intake (especially if you have deficiencies)
And of course, exercise. Cardio, core, strength, etc.

[RJGraveyTrain]

Oh, don't forget dairy or substitutes* we women are prone to osteoporosis after all.

[Opinion Owner]

@RJGraveyTrain
All this will work? And do I really have to leave pizza and pasta and burgers? :'(

[RJGraveyTrain]

You do have to cut out junk, but you can learn how to make substitutions. You can eat a proper portion of whole wheat pasta with veggies and ground turkey for example, or have a turkey burger on a whole wheat bun or lettuce wrap. There's all kinds of delicious things you can still eat while trying to lose weight.

Also this is what worked for me.

@RJGraveyTrain
Oh really! Tysm. I can't thank u enough. Thanks bae. I'm ready for this wt. Loss. !
Tysm. :)

[RJGraveyTrain]

You are most welcome my friend. Be safe!

[Apope16]

I dont know who you were calling a bitch. I just think you should be a tad nicer to responders.

If you were calling me, the author, a bitch.. well.. im a guy.. so.. a dick. And.. i workout 2 hours per day, 9% body fat, sexy body. I share what worked for me at 135 pounds.

If you think what i say sucks. Thats cool. Dully noted.

[Opinion Owner]

Hey what? @Apope 16
I didn't call anyone bitch? I just mentioned how people feel about me.
Now, no. 1. I AM nice to responders.
No.2. as I said, I didn't call anyone a bitch. And it's nice that u got a sexy body. Idc. Unless u are dating me which isn't possible. So. There, we go.
No. 3 I do think that what u said sucks. Coz what u said it outta context. U just didn't get the gist of what I meant. But I'm not gonna use explicit words. Coz I think, that it - at the end- comes all back to me.

Thank you.

Hey, my apologies! I honestly thought you were insulting a previous commenter. I was multitasking and was an idiot by misreading your post. I slapped myself in the face for you. ;)

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, that's okay.

[YourFutureEx]

I don't get it why people give so less credit to workouts. It is certainly not just 10%. No matter how good you eat or how good your genes are, if you won't move, you'll die sooner.

[Phoenix98]

The answer is people are lazy and want to gain the results of hard work and effort without having to do either.

[Leandri]

Would it work if let's say 3 times through out the day you get hungry but don't eat and rather drink water?

[RJGraveyTrain]

Under eating can actually stunt weight loss, having a plateau effect.

chriskresser.com/.../

Deprivation tactics aren't going to heed the results that you think they will. Eating a proper diet and exercising will give you more of the desirable body you want, while nourishing that body and your mind.

@RJGraveyTrain Cool thanks!

[RJGraveyTrain]

No problem girl, good luck and take care of yourself!

[Leandri]

@RJGraveyTrain :)...

[Apope16]

Do not under eat. Just eat healthy. Also, reducing your calorie intake does not necessarily mean less food or being hungry.

I can tell you that for me, bananas are filing as a meal.

[RJGraveyTrain]

@Apop16 Uh, I wouldn't recommend bananas as a meal. You should have a meal that is totally balanced in nutrition. Eating nothing but bananas is no different than not eating properly...

[RJGraveyTrain]

@Apope16 **

[Apope16]

@RJGraveyTrain what in the world is wrong with people?

I never ever said to use a banana as a meal. I just said that it was a food that makes you full. You can get full of 3 donuts and eat 700 calories ir you can "feel" full off of one single banana and have 70 calories.

My whole point is you can eat healthy foods and "feel" full as a part of a whole meal and lose weight compared to bad foods.

[Apope16]

@RJGraveyTrain In my first paragraph I said, "Dont under eat. Just eat healthy".

[SheDevilxx]

I have a glass about 30 cm tall...
should I drink from that or my 15 cm glass cause my stomach is gonna fucking blow XD

[art84]

Would slim fast be a faster way to lose weight? Along with exercise and diet?

[YourFutureEx]

You mean fasting? O_o

[art84]

@YourFutureEx

It's a shake that you drink to replace meals with.

[YourFutureEx]

I checked their site. It's just a meal replacement supplement to provide you protein and fibre to keep you full so that you don't eat anything else.

Professionals never recommend you to completely replace your food with supplements. You can just eat healthy high fibre and high protein food for the same results. You may save money too.

For me what works better is sleeping well.

[toteslol]

Cool!
