It is totally possible to lose weight without exercise. In fact, diet is much more important than exercise. Get the tips you need to shift the fat in this article.
The Bad Side Of Exercise
A lot of overweight people try to shift the fat by burning it off through exercise. If you’re lucky, you might be able to burn around 300 calories a day this way. That is simply not enough if you want to lose weight quickly.
With your diet, you have the ability to safely lose around 1000 calories a day. It’s much more effective.
I’m sure you know people (perhaps yourself) who are overweight and try to burn off the fat but none of it shifts because they just end up eating more as well. Not to mention the fact that exercise can be bad for the already overloaded joints of an overweight person.
Diet Is The Most Important Thing
Your diet is the most important thing when it comes to losing weight. The only way to lose weight consistently is to eat less calories than your body needs for fuel. Your body needs to burn 2000 to 2500 calories daily anyway, even without exercise.
What you want to do is to eat 1000 less. So if you’re a woman then you should eat 1000 calories a day and 1500 if you’re a man. This way you can lose about 2 pounds a week. That might not seem a huge amount but in a month’s time you will look physically different.
Let’s take a look at some tips for how you can achieve this calorific deficit.
Low GI
It’s better to eat foods with a low GI, or glycaemic index. These kinds of foods will fill you up better and keep you going until your next meal, unlike junk food which will made your blood sugar peak and crash and make you hungry all the time.
So try to eat foods that are less refined. This means nutty bread instead of white bread, brown rice instead of white rice, whole fruits instead of juice etc.
Try to stay away from the booze while you are losing weight. If you really must then avoid beer, stick to something like a couple of glasses of wine instead.
More Fruit And Vegetables
If you’re overweight then I have no doubt in my mind that you are not eating enough fruit and vegetables. These are low calorie, filling and yet also high in nutrition.
The best fruit are those with a stone in them as they are of lower GI. Vegetables are tastiest and have the most nutrition when you steam them so I advise you buy a steamer and get yourself some carrots and broccoli.
