Get good quality sleep time
- When you are trying to lose weight without exercise, it is important that you get a good amount of quality sleep each night.
- Do not take your afternoon nap time as compensation for making up for the lack of sleep at night.
- Your body needs at least 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep each night in order to keep your metabolism working smoothly and, as a result, boost your weight loss.
- When you sleep less, it may increase the production of the hormone called cortisol, which is also known as the stress hormone.
- At the same time, getting less sleep could interfere with the production of the ghrelin and leptin hormones, which are known to control your appetite.
- In case of these hormones fluctuate, you may notice a change in your appetite and may often feel the craving for certain unhealthy foods or notice an increase in your appetite.
Cut down or stop having sugary beverages
- Most of the aerated drinks or the instant drinks that you buy from the store are loaded with hidden carbohydrates, even if the pack says that they are free of sugar.
- Having even one serving of a sugary beverage in the day could put a complete stop to the efforts that you do that day to reduce weight.
- Instead of buying drinks from the market, make your own delicious and healthy beverages at home.
- Try making different types of soups, infused water, and so on, and add more health benefits even as you are trying to lose weight.
- Try to have more home-cooked meals
- With so much food ordering apps available these days, it is no doubt tough to control our food cravings.
- Instead of ordering from outside, try and rustle up some interesting, delicious, and healthy meals at home.
- If you are bored of eating the same food over and over again, try some new recipes that are not just healthy, but are also delicious and can help you lose weight without exercise.
- You can check out our blog and the Fitter fly Metabolic Health App’s recipe corner for delicious and healthy meal and snack recipes, or speak to your Fitter fly nutrition coach to recommend healthy versions and combinations of foods that you like.
- A good tip to reduce your food ordering is to keep the app notifications off for the week, and only log in over the weekend for a cheat meal. Even when you do so, be conscious of what you are ordering and stay away from fried foods and desserts.
Manage your stress levels
- When you are constantly stressed about something, whether you realize it or not, your body releases more of the hormone cortisol, which is also known as the stress hormone.
- Cortisol can disrupt your overall appetite and can interfere with your weight loss journey.
- There are many ways to reduce stress levels, and all you have to do is find out which works best for you and which you like.
- You can start by meditating for 10 to 15 minutes a day, especially if you are low on time. Gradually, as you keep practicing, you can increase this to even an hour a day.
- Yoga deep breathing, being outdoors, spending time with people you like, listening to music, swimming, going on nature trails, reading, painting, spending time with family, and writing are all small but very effective ways to reduce stress.
