Not in the mood for strenuous diets? Neither are we! Instead, we’ll show you how losing weight works without dieting – in the long term.

Maybe you are familiar with this: You’ve tried everything to reach your goal weight, but so far nothing has really worked!

You’ve been through countless diets and followed all kinds of tips and tricks that people have told you about or that have worked for others.

Maybe you even lost weight in the short term, but sooner or later the pounds were back?

Let’s give a farewell to the yo-yo effect! In this blog article you will learn how to reach your target weight in a healthy and relaxed way and how to keep it off permanently.

 

The problem with diets

Sure, quick results crash diets promise sound tempting at first. Eat cabbage soup for a few days and lose 10 pounds? Anyone can do that!

The problem with this? Most diets only work as long as you stick to them. They are not realistic – especially not in the long run.

There are several reasons for this:

  • Strict abstinence and constant weight monitoring are extremely tedious and demotivating.
  • Most crash diets are associated with health risks. For example, the massive lack of nutrients weakens your immune system and makes you more susceptible to infections.
  • Your body experiences some kind of “emergency state”, breaks down muscles and stores more fat.

Losing weight the healthy way means adopting a balanced, natural diet in the long term, with which you can reach and maintain your ideal and feel-good weight.

The best way to achieve this is not having to give up on anything: no calorie counting, no cravings, no yo-yo effect. And most importantly: without endangering your health.

 

How to lose weight permanently without frustration and disappointment: the best strategies

1. Start slowly.

Losing weight without dieting means taking smaller but more effective steps.

So no matter how much you want to lose, you don’t have to change your whole life from one moment to the next. Take it slowly and change your habits step by step.

For example, you could start preparing your own meals and snacks. That way, you have control over the quality and quantity of ingredients, and it’s easier to avoid sugar, salt, artificial additives and other ingredients from highly processed foods. This one thing often makes a HUGE difference and can get you some first results.

2. Include more physical activity in your daily routine.

You can increase your calorie consumption without exercising by simply adding more physical activity to your daily routine. Ride your bike to work or to the grocery store. Take the stairs instead of the elevator and go for a walk during your lunch break. This activates your circulation, fat metabolism and burns more calories.

3. Drink enough water.

We always emphasize how essential it is for successful weight loss to drink enough water. Not only because it’s important for your health and most of the body functions, but also because it helps you lose weight. For example, scientific studies show that the body consumes up to 24% more calories when it is consistently well-hydrated.

4. Get enough sleep and make sure you relax.

Sleep duration and sleep quality are actually crucial to your weight loss success. Why? When you sleep too little (less than 7 hours) or poorly, your body overproduces stress hormones.

If the release of cortisol remains at a high level permanently (e.g. also due to stress in everyday life), this causes water retention in the body, inhibits muscle building and weakens the immune system.

With conscious relaxation and rest, you can counteract this and thus optimally support your body in losing weight. In this article you will get the best tips.

5. Work on your mindset.

Your mindset is also very important for your success. Don’t let overambitious expectations and goals stress you out on your journey, just focus on yourself and your own progress!

We all go at our own pace. Set smaller milestones instead of chasing the big goal from the beginning. This will keep you motivated.

And last but not least there is another fabulous strategy…

6. Start intermittent fasting.

Intermittent fasting allows you to enjoy your food without having to give up everything you like.

In short, intermittent fasting makes your life easier.

By taking regular breaks from eating you’ll….

  • do something for your health,
  • improve your relationship with food,
  • develop new habits,
  • increase your energy level,
  • boost your metabolism,
  • burn a lot of body fat,
  • lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way.

Intermittent fasting is THE perfect alternative to dieting and one of the best methods to achieve lasting results!

 

Our conclusion: losing weight without dieting works!

As you know, diets promise a lot and deliver little. The good news is: You can consciously avoid the diet madness and find your own way to your comfort weight!

With intermittent fasting, enough exercise, a natural diet and a few more tweaks like sleep and your attitude, you can achieve GREAT things – without the usual frustration and stress.

Sounds easier said than done? You’re right!

But remember: Do things at your own pace. Have the courage to get involved in something new, go your way step by step and think long-term! You will see: Your perseverance will be rewarded.

    Sometimes I wonder how come people have such a diffrent “scale of problems”. Some are happy to lose weight, and some to gain. Some are looking for effective diets, and some for https://apetaminstore24.com/ where you can find syrups to gain weight for gym. Interesting…

      Hello Jane 🙂
      Usually you can eat what you want during your eating window. However, it is important that you focus on a well-balanced diet where you include a variety of healthy and unprocessed carbs, protein and fats. This will help you to see results faster and lets you feel amazing. ✌️
