Lose Weight Without Dieting

1. Use all of your senses to eat more mindfully. If you are a fast eater or eat without much conscious thought as to what that food is doing to your weight then you are likely a mindless eater and by changing this one behavior you can save yourself hundreds of calories a day.

To become more mindful use your sense of sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste each time you eat. Simply pause before eating long enough to really look at your food and notice it’s distinguishing characteristics such as it’s color or shape. Now take a sniff and note the aroma of the food. Now you can take a bite but as you do listen for a sound it makes as you bite into it and also pay attention to how it feels in your mouth and how it tastes.

2. Use a stopper. A stopper is something that ends your meal because it is incompatible with eating. It is not uncommon to want to keep eating once you start but when you have a stopper you can disrupt this desire. What can you use? A piece of sugar-free gum or a sugar-free peppermint candy will work great.

3. A food journal can double your weight loss. A recent study showed this result and this can work for you. You don’t need to make your food journal complex, simply write down what you eat and drink during the day, the key is to commit to writing everything, this gives you accountability for sticking with better eating decisions.
