1. Set realistic goals. You can lose 50 pounds in a week if you work out 12 hours a day and eat nothing but celery – but not if you're human. Slow and steady wins the race. Don't bite off more than you can chew – literally. Make small goals on your way to the bigger goal(s). In the end, you'll have achieved more (and more frequently, might I add).
2. Instead of three large meals, try eating five small meals throughout the day or at least three medium size meals with two small snacks. This helps prevent overeating at a meal and helps to keep the metabolism stable throughout the day. When two or three large meals are eaten in a day, the tendency to overeat due to being overly hungry is very common. Also, when the body goes hungry it slows down the metabolism and if someone is trying to lose weight without exercising, the metabolism needs to be as high as possible.
3. Green Tea - This miracle drink contains antioxidants and has the ability to help speed up your metabolic rate. I recommend that you get 1-2 cups daily for best results.
4. Fruits and vegetables are packed with beneficial fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. They fill up your stomach fast so you feel full earlier. They are also low in calories and helps to keep your calorie count low.
5. More Water - Instead of the typical 8 glasses a day, I recommend that you get 1/2 your body weight in ounces. This will speed your metabolism up, flush fat storing toxins in your body, and improve your overall health. This is one of the best natural weight loss.
6. Sleep it off. To be an efficient fat-burning machine, your body requires at least eight hours of sleep a night. If you think that you're doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you're mistaken. Give your body time to rest itself, both mentally and physically. Sleep is very, very important.
7. One of the best ways to lose weight without exercise is by substituting the "white" processed foods in a diet for whole grains. Such things as white bread, white rice, and pasta noodles should be substituted for whole grain bread, brown rice, and whole grain or whole wheat noodles. The reason why these whole grain foods help people lose weight is because they have a lot of fiber in them and they are not full of processed, empty calories. When an individual consumes more fiber they get full faster and feel full longer, which means ultimately less food is eaten.
8. Avoid trans fats and high fructose corn syrup. I offer this suggestion for a few reasons. First, they're not good for you anyway. Second, you'll eliminate a lot of the "bad foods" outright – no questions asked. You'll have to become more selective in what you eat by avoiding these two nasty ingredients – which are in more foods than you probably care to know.
