Can I Lose Weight Without Exercise?

By Sheila Bell


Obesity is swiftly becoming an epidemic in our society. Everyday thousands of people begin new diet and exercise programs only to quit before they see results.

So is it possible for those who struggle with sticking to a weight loss plan to lose weight without exercise?

Lets take a look at 5 possible ways to shed weight without exercise.

Stop Drinking Soda

Because soda is a drink and not a food, we tend to overlook the fact that it contains a lot of calories which contain no nutritional benefit. Each 12 oz soda you drink averages around 140 calories which is the equivalent of 15 pounds per year.

Removing soda from your life can have a huge impact on your weight loss.

Choose Healthy Low Calorie Snacks

When you find yourself getting hungry between meals, reach for something healthy like a piece of fruit instead of cakes and cookies.

Fruit is not only healthy but it's also a great way to satisfy cravings for sweet.

Portion Control

One way to lose weight without exercise is to cut back on the amount you eat.

Whatever amount you would typically eat cut it in half and dont return for seconds. If you are still feeling a little hungry have a glass of water or some vegetables.

If you implement this one thing on a regular basis you will begin to lose weight.

Drink Water

Our bodies are composed of approximately seventy percent water and it is essential to keep our bodies functioning at its best.

Drinking water during the day fills you up and keeps you from feeling hungry between meals. This calorie free beverage is the ideal replacement for high calorie and sweet drinks like soda.

Drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day is recommended.

Walk Up And Down The Stairs

One way to get exercise without actually exercising is to do simple things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator. While it may not be intense exercise, taking the stairs is a great way to burn a few extra calories.

Simple little changes like this can have a long and lasting positive on your health and your waistline.

Although simple, these 5 suggestions can help you lose weight without exercise if you make them a part of your lifestyle.

Losing weight can be done without exercise but adding exercise will drastically speed up the results and improve your health.
