11 Proven Ways to Lose Weight Without Diet or Exercise
Sticking to a conventional diet and exercise plan can be difficult.
However, there are several proven tips that can help you “mindlessly” eat fewer calories.
These are effective ways to reduce your weight, as well as to prevent weight gain in the future.

Here are 11 ways to lose weight without diet or exercise. All of them are based on science.
1. Chew Thoroughly and Slow Down
Your brain needs time to process that you’ve had enough to eat.
Chewing your food better makes you eat more slowly, which is associated with decreased food intake, increased fullness and smaller portions (1, 2, 3).
How quickly you finish your meals may also affect your weight.
A recent review of 23 observational studies reported that faster eaters are more likely to gain weight, compared to slower eaters (4).
Fast eaters are also much more likely to be obese. To get into the habit of eating more slowly, it may help to count how many times you chew each bite.

2 Use Smaller Plates For Unhealthy Food

The typical food plate is larger today than it was a few decades ago.
This is unfortunate, since using a smaller plate may help you eat less by making portions look larger.
At the same time, a bigger plate can make a serving look smaller, causing you to add more food (5, 6).
You can use this to your advantage by serving healthy food on bigger plates and less healthy food on smaller plates.
Bottom Line: Smaller plates can trick your brain into thinking you’re eating more than you actually are. Therefore, it’s smart to consume unhealthy foods from smaller plates, causing you to eat less.

3. Eat Plenty of Protein

3.Add more protein into your diet
Protein has powerful effects on appetite. It can increase the feeling of fullness, reduce hunger and help you eat fewer calories (7).
4.Stay hydrated—with salt water
When it comes to H20, salt is not the enemy. "Water needs electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride to be best absorbed," says Jenny Westerkamp, an R.D. in Chicago, which explains why they're added to popular sports drinks. She recommends adding a pinch of Celtic sea salt or real salt (unrefined and unbleached) to your water before chugging. "The electrolytes in the salt will push water into the cells where they need to be, rather than letting the water get flushed out, causing you to go to the bathroom every other minute." You'll notice a spike in energy after staying hydrated, too, and you'll be less likely to give in to cravings which are even harder to avoid when you're running on empty.
5.Find yourself fidgeting? Embrace it.
You can call it NEAT, or non-exercise activity thermogenesis. "It's energy that we expend on everything we do besides sleep, eat, and exercise," says Werber. "NEAT-related activities can speed up your metabolism and burn calories." Things like walking while you talk on the phone, cleaning, fidgeting, and dancing while you cook (come on, we know we aren't the only ones) all count.
6.Stop weighing yourself
. Research shows it can backfire when weight loss is your goal. If you get too wrapped up in the number of pounds you still have to shed, you can get discouraged and be tempted to give up altogether. Just focus on having healthier behaviors—and use your clothes or weekly selfies as a guide if you need one—and the weight loss will follow.7.Branch out with berries.
A new study found that camu camu, an Amazonian berry, contains about 2,000 milligrams of vitamin C in just 3.5 ounces of fruit and can help lower blood sugar. When your blood sugar is too high, you need more insulin to metabolize the food you eat, and insulin stops your body from using stored fat as energy, says Westerkamp. In other words, higher blood sugar = more insulin = stored fat sticking around for way too long. Unfortunately, you won't find fresh camu camu berries at your local grocery store, but you can purchase them as a raw powder—perfect for mixing into smoothies—online or at natural health food stores.
8.Make your goals realistic.
Do we all want to have Jennifer Aniston's body tomorrow? Obviously. Is it likely? Probably not. So instead of resorting to a crash-and-burn diet—which you know is going to fail before you even start it, so why waste the time—incorporate healthy tweaks to your routine one at a time. Research shows that it can help make a habit stick, and it can prevent you from feeling overwhelmed by a ton of change. Try swapping your canola oil for the coconut kind when you cook one week, and once you're used to that, replace a white starch with a green veggie at every meal. Look at that—pounds are peeling off without you going crazy in the process.One study found that increasing protein intake from 15% to 30% of calories helped participants eat 441 fewer calories per day and lose 11 pounds in 12 weeks, without intentionally restricting anything (9).
9.If you currently eat a grain-based breakfast
Then you may want to consider switching to a protein-rich option, such as eggs.
In one study, overweight or obese women who had eggs for breakfast ate fewer calories at lunch compared to those who ate a grain-based breakfast (10).
10.Less calories intake
What’s more, they ended up eating fewer calories for the rest of the day and during the next 36 hours.
Some examples of protein-rich foods include chicken breasts, fish, Greek yogurt, lentils, quinoa and almonds.
