The No Diet Diet – The New Path To Drop A Dress Size
Most of us have had a bad experience of dieting. Which is not ot surprising as 95% of dieters on a traditional weight loss diets fail to lose weight. Worse still is that of those that do lose weight 80% put all the weight lost back on inless than 12 months. That poor success rate tells us that there is a problem with diets that claim an instant or quick fix for the habits, behaviours and attitudes that have created the problem in the first place.
So, is there a better route to long-term, sustainable weight loss? Certainly it is not the old calorie counting or food restrictive diets. Possibly the solution is to make diet part of you daily lifestyle, much in the same way that gaining the weight in the first place was also part of your daily routine. By thinking of weight loss in this way, not the primary focus but more a by-product of your lifestyle choices, it is possible to start to reverse those weight gains. But more importantly you will begin to change the habits, behaviours and attitudes that caused the weight gain – rather than just tinkering with the symptoms.
You could begin with some easy changes you could make in your life to start the no diet weight loss process. Here are three tips to begin with:
Eat less Processed Foods. There is a simple saying that you may wish to consider memorising, which is ‘don’t eat any food that your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize’. Or, if you find that difficult you should think twice before you do. Processed foods are full of fats and sugars and low on nutrients, which is an ideal recipe for weight gain. Instead move towards fresh and whole foods instead of their processed counterparts. For example, fresh whole grain bread baked on the day of purchase would be better than the white preservative laden alternative. Research proves that the more whole natural food you eat the healthier and more satisfying your diet will be.
Eat Well But Eat Less. The easiest and most effective no diet weight loss technique is to cut back – even by a little – the amount of food on your plate. As weight loss is a numbers game, consume fewer calories than you consume equals weight loss. By eating just 5% less will make a dramatic difference. It is sometimes difficult to restrict calorie intake so always substitute quality for quantity. That’s why 5% is an ideal number as anything greater may be noticeable and may well leave you hungry and vulnerable to impulsive eating.
Drink More To Eat Less. One of the simplest ways to lose weight is to drink more water. It not only does water help with important things like digestion, absorption and circulation, water also helps to suppress feelings of hunger. Often people who over eat often confuse being thirsty with being hungry. It may be simple, yet don’t underestimate the importance of drinking water for weight loss. The exact amounts you drink will depend on your personal circumstances, however as a guideline, you should be drinking an average of 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. Although fruit or herb infusions are ok, please remember that fruit juice, tea, coffee and colas don’t count towards your six a day.

If you feel that a no diet weight loss program is the way forward for you then one thing you will need is patience rather than willpower. Because changing habits, behaviours and attitudes does not happen quickly. However making small, tiny changes will over time provide consistent and long lasting results providing natural weight loss making it more likely that the pounds will dissapear for good. So if you have been frustrated by traditional diets, why not give it a try?.
