It is possible to lose weight without dieting by changing some habits, some experts believe. Losing half a kilogram corresponds to about 3500 calories, which can be done in one week by cutting 500 calories a day.
Adopt one or more of the following strategies can cut calories while eating well and managing hunger:
Eating breakfast every day
A habit common to many people who have lost weight and maintained their loss is to eat breakfast every morning.
While many tend to think that skipping breakfast is an effective way to cut calories, this leads it to eat more throughout the day and later in the evening. Studies show that people who eat breakfast are less overweight than those who jump in addition to perform better in school or at work.
A recent study has shown that people who take eggs in the morning (high protein) took fewer calories at lunch and all day. Several diets are also building on lean proteins and quality control appetite and maintain muscles.
Close the kitchen at night
Establish a time when to stop eating snacks prevents watching television, for example, where food is taken automatically without attention to quantity. Excess calories are often taken in large proportion in the evening.
Pay attention to the calorie liquids
Soft drinks contain lots of calories without reducing hunger as much as solid foods. It is preferable to satisfy the thirst with water, low fat milk or small portions of 100% fruit juice. A glass of vegetable juice, which is nutritious and low in calories, can help fill the hunger between meals.
Alcohol contains calories that add up quickly. Limit alcohol to weekends, for example, saves a lot of calories.
Research also suggests that we should be wary of drink “diet” (and foods containing artificial sweeteners).
