How To Lose Weight Without Counting Calories?

How to lose weight without counting calories? One of the best ways to lose weight without counting calories is to use smaller plates. When you use smaller plates when you eat, this will trick your brain that you are eating more food when you are not. The larger the plate or bowl the more your brain thinks you have eaten more food.

Protein

Eating more protein can reduce your appetite and help you with not counting calories. Having a protein food with every breakfast, lunch and dinner meal can help with making you eat less food. Some good protein foods are chicken, turkey, fish, beef, tilapia.

Protein not only increases your satiety, but it also helps with building and maintaining lean muscle mass. If you combine consuming protein foods along with lifting weights, then it will help with stimulating the lean muscle mass tissue. The more lean muscle mass you have the faster your resting metabolic rate will be.

Fiber

Consuming more fiber foods like fruits and vegetables can help you with not having to count calories. Eating more fiber will help to suppress your appetite and make you eat less food. Especially if you are consuming 20 to 30 grams of fiber per day. The result of this is weight loss.

Water

Drinking up to 8 glasses of water daily can help to suppress your appetite, make you eat less food and avoid counting calories. Drinking 1 to 2 large glasses of water before every meal will suppress your appetite and give you a sense of fullness in your stomach. The result of this is weight loss.

The Bottom Line is if you drink up to 8 glasses of water daily, eat fiber foods like fruits and vegetables with every meal and if you include protein foods with every meal that will help to avoid counting calories. And eating like this helps to suppress your appetite and less calories and the result of this is weight loss.
