How to Lose Weight Without Dieting: 10 Painless Ways

1. Start Each Day with a Fast

Fasting is probably the easiest and most effortless way to lose weight and burn fat without actually counting calories and sticking to a particular diet. 

It will literally save you time and money. 

When fasting, you are temporarily restricted from eating for a set length of time, which automatically reduces your total calorie intake.

Fasting also allows your body to tap into the stored fat and use it for energy as opposed to glucose, increasing your fat burn and further fostering weight loss. 

While there are many fasting patterns out there, one of the easiest ways is to fast for 16 hours a day and eat during the remaining 8 hours.

This intermittent fasting schedule is most common and popular for its simplicity.

2. Pair Apple Cider Vinegar With Fasting

Apple cider vinegar or ACV is a health drink that can help you lose weight by decreasing your appetite, increasing satiety, and boosting your metabolism. 

Due to ACV's appetite suppressant quality, pairing it with a short-term fast like intermittent fasting can be a powerful way to enhance weight loss.

By taking apple cider vinegar when fasting can curve hunger especially during the first few days.

To make the apple cider vinegar diet drink, combine 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a glass of warm water. Adding a squeeze of lime can refreshen the smell and taste. 

This will help carry you until your lunch time.

3. Set a Clear Goal to Lose Weight

Setting a goal to lose 20 pounds is great, but if you can't adjust your lifestyle to support your goal, you'll never reach the goal weight.

Doesn't matter how committed you are to this goal, if you don't set up an environment to support your journey, no willpower or motivation will get you there.

4. Get a Journal

Get a journal to write things down. This will come handy in keeping yourself accountable.

Many people underestimate how much food they eat throughout the day.

A food journal will hopefully help you remember and keep track of what you ate. It can also help you eat better by making you more cautious about what you are eating.

In fact, according to a study from Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research, those who keep a food diary double their weight loss. 

5. Track Your Daily Calorie Intake

While calories don't tell you everything, you need a calorie deficit to lose weight. 

That's a fact.

A calorie deficit means more energy leaving the body than entering it. 

And one simple way to make sure of that is to budget your calories and track the intake.

For that, you can use a calorie app like MyfitnessPal or other apps that count and track calories. 

Even people who eat healthily often eat too many calories and have a hard time losing weight. 

An easy fix like using a calorie counting app can help you manage your intake. 

6. Clean Your Fridge

You eating can be as clean as your food supply. 

This is what I mean when I say calories don't tell you everything. Some foods are more nutritious than others even though they contain the same amount of calories. 

One way to set yourself for success is to get rid of all the items in the fridge that don't support your new weight loss goal.

That includes soda, fruit juice, cookies and frozen pizza, and almost anything and everything that's processed. 

Replace them with fresh fruits, Greek yogurt, hummus, veggies, and all of the other good stuff!
