How to lose a lot of weight without deprivation

 Diets have been around forever, so why aren’t we all skinny by now? The problem with traditional diets is that most of them are based on the premise that you must restrict calories in order to lose weight, which means that you’re just counting down the days until you can eat again and you’re depriving yourself of the foods you love—thereby making yourself miserable and far more likely to give up on your diet before it gets results. In this article, I’ll teach you how to drop those unwanted pounds without deprivation and how to keep them off once they’re gone.

Keep your body guessing

If you keep your body guessing with regular physical activity, muscle confusion will help prevent your metabolism from slowing down. Muscle confusion involves alternating between multiple exercises and methods of training, as well as changing your exercise order regularly. If your fitness program is getting stale and you don’t see any results, mix things up! When it comes to burning fat, variety is definitely key. By keeping your body guessing—and all of its systems engaged—you’ll continue burning fat for fuel.

Substitute unhealthy foods with alternatives

One way you can slowly but surely start losing your excess weight is by swapping out your unhealthy foods for healthier alternatives. This can prove beneficial on several levels, including nutritional and financial. For example, if you’re having trouble breaking a soda habit, try replacing it with calorie-free drinks such as tea or water instead. Not only will you save money at the grocery store (one 12-pack costs about $4), but you also get some extra health benefits from making that swap.

Divide your meals into 5 mini-meals

It’s been shown that eating five times a day reduces overall calories consumed, as opposed to three meals. Not only that, but scientists at Imperial College London discovered those who eat more frequently consume fewer simple carbs and saturated fats. As simple carbs lead to spikes in blood sugar levels (and calorie intake), avoiding them can help keep your waistline in check. Meanwhile, saturated fats are your body’s preferred source of fuel for energy, so keeping them under control can also help you shed pounds.

Try intermittent fasting (16 hours fast, 8 hours eat)

Here’s another hack for weight loss: Intermittent fasting, in which you eat your normal amount in eight hours, and fast for 16. It’s not exactly a diet, since there’s no explicit goal; rather, it can be thought of as an eating schedule that helps you optimize your body. According to Dr.

Use food tracking apps

You should take control of your eating by tracking your food intake and activity levels. You’ll be able to see how many calories you consume on average, what your food intake is like (are you eating too much sugar? Not enough protein?), and where you might need to make changes. Use a tool like MyFitnessPal for iOS or Android, which allows you to track exercise and other foods at no cost.

Eat spicy food

Eating spicy food will not only help you shed pounds quickly but will also lower your appetite. One study conducted in 2002 showed that people who consumed spicy foods prior to lunch lost an average of 40% more calories during their meal than those who didn’t. According to researchers, capsaicin, an active ingredient in chili peppers, can prompt your body to produce extra calories and burn them off throughout your day. Sounds like something we can get behind!
