SO EASY: 5 ways to lose weight without going to the gym

If you are one of those people who would rather skip the hard work of the gym but really do want to get into shape, there are plenty of options.

Weight loss takes work but if you are lazy, there are a few tricks that can help you.

Here are five ways to lose weight without exercising:

1. Drop the Alcohol

Staying away from alcohol can help you shed off some calories as alcohol slows down your body’s fat burning processes. When you drink alcohol, your body will burn it first and prioritise it as a source of fuel above anything else.

2. Use A Smaller Plate

When it comes to weight loss, mindset is everything. So, use a smaller plate and fill it rather than use a bigger plate with a small portion. This visually makes your portion sizes look bigger and you don’t feel deprived when eating less.

3. Eat Spicy food

Spicy food helps reduce appetite, reduce hunger, boost metabolism and impact fat formation.

4. Sleep

Getting enough sleep can help you a great deal as not sleeping enough can affect your weight in a bad way because when you aren’t sleeping, ghrelin levels increase, which is the hunger hormone.

5. Drink a Lot of Water

According to Healthline, drinking water increases the amount of calories the body burns during a non-active period. A study of overweight women examined the effects of increasing water intake to over 1 litre per day. They found that over a 12-month period, this resulted in an extra 2kg of weight loss.
