Losing weight without dieting, is that possible?!

Let's get straight to the point: Personally, I'm not a fan of most popular diets. Because they impose restrictions, they are often difficult to maintain. As a result, people quickly fall back into their old patterns and the lost pounds come back just as quickly, sometimes even twice as much! In addition, strict diet rules can lead to feelings of guilt when you deviate from the diet once and this can even lead to stopping the diet altogether.

But how can you get to a healthy weight? Here are three tips to lose weight without following a strict diet:

1. Get enough sleep! Getting enough sleep is important for losing weight. If you don’t get enough sleep, your body will look for other sources of energy. This could very well mean that you will eat more and therefore have a higher calorie intake than the amount of energy you use. The excess energy is stored by your body as fat, which leads to weight gain. In addition, getting enough sleep reduces stress, which can also help with weight loss.
2. Eat mindfully. Try to be aware of what you eat. Don’t eat while doing other things, like answering emails or driving. Take the time to enjoy your meal and pay attention to what you put into your body. Mindful eating can lead to a longer feeling of satiety, because you are consciously aware of the energy you are taking in.
3. Be patient. Many people start a diet to lose weight quickly, but lifestyle changes probably won’t make you lose 5 pounds in a month. However, they can lead to positive long-term changes, including weight loss! So take your time embracing each lifestyle change and you’ll find that it will eventually become natural.

With these tips you are well on your way to a healthier lifestyle. Do you still need support? I am happy to help you!
