Can You Really Lose Weight Without Dieting?
When it comes to dieting, so many people have trouble sticking it out for a few weeks, let alone for years or the rest of their life. The truth of the matter is that dieting can be extremely restrictive and unrealistic so continuing it for many years can result in depression and probably throwin’ in the towel.
The question that many people ask themselves is ‘can you really lose weight without dieting?’
The answer to that lies in what your definition of dieting is, how much other effort are you willing to put in (i.e. exercise, good nutrition, a sprinkle of self discipline) and of course, your current weight and body type.
Some people will be able to drop the pounds just by undertaking ridiculous amounts of exercise whilst keeping up their current food intake. But is this something that is sustainable for the long term? Unless you absolutely love exercise and working out on a daily basis (I am talking about HARD work outs), then this strategy will not work for you very well. In fact it probably applies to less than half a percent of the population.
Just the mention of that ugly four letter word diet is what makes people search for a way to lose weight without dieting. Ideas of cutting out all the foods you enjoy, having to write down and track every crumb that enters your mouth and worst of all: feeling guilty if you stray from the diet plan once or twice. Is that a good way to live your life? I think not!
So what is the alternative?
One of the best kept secrets that I have recently discovered is a “diet” that is so easy to maintain that you will kick yourself for not trying it earlier. It involves short term intermittent fasting and it is totally safe and will bring you so much more success than a bland low calorie diet. It also won’t leave you feeling lost and lonely when it comes to choosing your foods.
After all, what is the point of trying to lose weight with a diet that takes all of the fun out of eating? Eating should be flexible and enjoyable most of the time and therefore avoiding overly restrictive diets can be exceedingly better for not only your body, but your mind as well.
The short term intermittent fasting technique will give you the results you desire, without turning you into a paranoid, food obsessed dieter.
If you are someone that is in search of a way to lose weight without dieting then I would highly recommend investigating intermittent fasting as a way to reach your goals without…you know…dieting, ugh.
Never, ever, ever quit,
David
