10 Ways Of Losing Weight Without Dieting

Hey folks, welcome back, and this is Dinaaz here once again. And you know, I want you to know that we are living in a very different time in history where we have to understand that whatever it is that we have to do, we have to do it from our own home. A lot of us are working from home, a lot of us are studying stuck at home. Some of you are stuck in different countries, some of you are stuck in different cities. But what should not stop in your life is your movement, is your journey towards your health, is your journey towards your weight loss. Because in this period, during COVID-19, it is so easy for us to gain fat, especially on our belly. It is so easy to gain at least 5 kgs in 3 months. And I know a lot of people who have already gained a lot of weight. So it's very scary that this period is going to continue for quite a bit. And if we don't make that change now, we're going to be gaining— before you know it, we're going to be gaining at least another 10 kilos. So we've got to be very mindful and we've got to be very, very careful about our journey, especially in today's day and age. So in this video, I will be talking to you about 10 ways of losing weight without dieting. Now, a lot of people are running after fad diets, and I personally am not a strong believer of that because I strongly believe that when you go on a diet, you stay on the diet for a bit, and then you get those results. Wow! And then we get off that diet and you go back to eating regular food, then you gain that weight again. So just stop running after fad diets. That's not going to work with you. It's not going to work out. Your goal has to be to reduce weight and to increase your muscle mass, increase your basic metabolic rate. By which you are burning fat. Your body has to become like a fat-burning machine. And you know, your goal has to be to lose weight permanently. And that's why don't run after anything too soon, too fast. When you do anything which is too soon and too fast, you're going to fall off and you're going to gain that weight again. Therefore, dieting is not an option. It's better for you to tweak your lifestyle rather than running after a fad diet, and that's like super, super, super important. You know, did you know that 1 pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories? For you to lose 500 calories per day, you— if you lose— if you bring down your calorie intake by 500 calories a day, then you could possibly be losing 1 to 2 pounds in a week. Week. Now that's a lot of calories, you might be thinking, but when you start understanding your day-to-day diet, you will realize that you've got maybe 500 calories by just drinking, having 2 drinks, or 500 calories by having 2 additional juices. So you would be very mindful about what you're doing. And so in this vid— in this session, I'm going to be talking to you about simple, plain, less strategies, 10 simple painless strategies that are going to help you to lose weight without dieting. Number 1, eat breakfast every single day. I have found that when I skip my breakfast, till 1 o'clock I'm craving for food continuously. So when you skip your breakfast, your body is craving for food continuously because remember, your previous meal was for about— your previous meal was the previous night's dinner, which is about 8, 10, 12 hours of starvation. And when the body goes into that starvation mode, the body craves for more sugary items. So tip number 1 is, if you want to lose weight without dieting, start eating your breakfast every day. And when I say breakfast, eat a good breakfast and eat it at least latest by 9 o'clock, no later than 9 o'clock. Tip number 2, and this is my favorite, close your kitchen in the night. Now when I say close your kitchen in the night, make sure that you've put away everything. Put away all the food, put away all the snacks, put away all the sugary items far away. So even when you wake up in the night and say if you're working till midnight and you're craving for something, even if you go to your kitchen You will not have anything that is not good for you, especially late in the night. So close your kitchen every night. Now, when you're choosing your liq— third point— when you're choosing your liquid calories, make sure that you choose your calories very wisely. You have the option of choosing a soda, or you have the option of having a drink, or you have the option of having a juice. A better option would be coconut water or buttermilk or a green tea or some healthy tea. If you choose something that is healthier for you, then it's good for you. Eat more produce. Tip number 4 is eat more produce. When you eat more vegetables and fruits in your diet, You will lose weight without actually going on a diet. Because you are actually getting a lot of calories, but you are getting the right calories. Tip number 5, grains. Eat the right grains. Eat grains in small quantities and eat the right grains. Like for example, godam rava, that is broken wheat, or oats, or a little bit of upma, poha. All that is fine as long as you are eating it in very small quantities. Control your environment, which means stock up your kitchen with only healthy foods. Get rid of all the junk food in your house. Now, if you have junk food and if you have children for which you have to keep it, make sure that it's right at the back. Keep your dining table really clean. In my house, on my dining table, other than a bowl of bananas or a bowl of a little bit of fruit, I don't keep anything additional. So when you don't have anything additional, like say example dry fruits or chocolates or anything on the dining table, then the temptation of you going and picking up and eating is very less. So be very careful about that. Be very careful about Choosing your restaurants. So now that COVID-19 is there, but people are beginning to start getting food from outside, be choosy about the kind of place that you go and get your food from, or the kind of place that you're going and eating. Go to a place where you have the option of ordering at least something healthy for yourself. This is my favorite— choose friends which are on the same journey as you. Now if you have friends, you can't choose your family because you're born in your family, but you can choose your friends. Choose friends and go out with people who are on the same journey as you. That way when you go out, you all either order healthy food or you just stick to a green tea or a cup of coffee and then avoid the sugary foods. And that's like really huge. That way You also feel that you're going, you're socializing, and plus you don't feel that now I've got to eat because I've got to please my friends. And that's really huge, so just keep that in mind. When you go out for a buffet, choose all the foods that are healthy for you. I've noticed and I have watched people on, in a buffet. When you go out on a buffet, a lot of people have to pay a lot of money, right? At least, I don't know, ₹4,000, ₹5,000, ₹10,000, depending on the kind of restaurant that you go to. But remember that just because you've paid that money, that doesn't mean that you do injustice to your body by doing justice to the food. So if you feel that you're going to a buffet and then you're pigging out Stop it right there. Stop going to— for buffets. But if you feel that yes, you're going to be able— you are going to be able to balance your salads and your meats and a little bit of whatever you want to eat, and it's okay that you spend that money, then go all out and do it. But be very careful about going for a buffet because a lot of people go for buffets on Sundays and they just pick out. So all all the work that you put in throughout the week just gets nullified. Tip number 7, portion control. This is like huge. In almost every video of mine, I talk about portion control. You can eat everything you want to, provided you eat it in small quantities. So here I want you to reprogram your brain, rewire your mind to start eating smaller quantities because we're leading such sedentary lives, our body doesn't need it anymore. So just reprogram and rewire your brain. Tip number 8, ah, that's huge. Increase the number of steps that you take in a day. A lot of us have been sitting down, a lot of us have not been able to go out. Earlier, at least when we used to go out shopping at least once a week, we would get a lot of steps. But today, in today's day and age, we are stuck. We're not going out as much, we're not walking as much, so we're not getting that many steps. Get yourself a Fitbit and monitor the number of steps. And I want you to know that you've got to now take it up to 15,000 to 20,000 steps in a day. If you are at 3,000 and 4,000 steps in a day, you're going to be gaining weight. So if you want to lose weight without going on a diet, take it up to 15,000. And see the magic unfold. Switch to lighter alternatives. Like dairy is very, is very harsh on your body. After a certain age, your body doesn't require that much of dairy. So you might want to switch to a non-dairy powder or almond milk or coconut milk. And when you're choosing your dips and your dressings, Choose something that's less fat, has got less fat. So very light mayo, light dressing, very light stuff, because that way you don't feel that you're depriving yourself. At the same time, you're eating it all up. And last tip is have protein in every meal of yours. When you eat protein in every meal of yours, your body starts feeling fuller. And when your body starts feeling fuller, your body is not going to crave for more food. So then you can just continue eating whatever it is you are eating. Add, just add that little extra protein. When you add extra protein, automatically you will reduce the number of, amount of carbohydrates. So these were some amazing tips that have worked for me in my life. I want each and every one of you to go and implement these tips, and I want you to start making changes in your life because we are living in a very different time in history, guys. It's time for you to start taking action. What are you doing with your lives? I don't want you guys to just come on my channel, come on my podcasts, come on wherever I am, listen to my voice, get inspired as long as you're watching my video or watching— listening to my podcast fast and then go away.
