Weight loss without DIET?

Hi everyone,
Try this tips. You may find the better result.
There's no need of DIET.
BEST DIET tips:
1. SNACK, BUT SMARTLY:
Grazing between meals used to be on the weight-loss hit list. But nutritionists now know that it's better to satisfy a craving with healthy grub than ignore it and risk a junk-food binge later. The best picks are filling, protein-packed snacks, such as one stick of string cheese, a tablespoon of peanut butter on a piece of fruit, or a medium-size bowl of edamame.
2. TURN OFF THE TV:
Dining while viewing can make you take in 40 percent more calories than usual, reports a new study. And texting, driving, or any other distracting activity during a meal can also result in your eating too much. Instead, make each meal something you put on a plate and sit down to, even if you're eating solo.
3. STEP ON THE SCALE DAILY:
If your regular weight increases several days in a row, it's a red flag letting you know you need to cut back a little or beef up your workouts slightly.
4. SCULPT THREE TIMES A WEEK:
Doing 5 minutes each of push-ups, lunges, and squats (in 30-second intervals) will help build and maintain muscle mass. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be, so you'll torch more calories as you go about your day.
5. REACH FOR YOUR CELL:
Next time your mind gets stuck on a certain food, call a friend and redirect your brain by asking how her day's going. Research shows that cravings only last about 5 minutes, so by the time you hang up, the urge to devour junk will have subsided.
6. EAT A BIG, BALANCED BREAKFAST:
An a.m. meal made up mostly of carbs and protein with some fat keeps blood-sugar levels steady and hunger pangs away so you're not susceptible to pigging out come lunch, studies show. Opt for something satisfying for your stomach and taste buds — like egg whites and turkey bacon with whole-wheat toast.
7. WATCH THE BOOZE:
One innocent-looking margarita or cosmopolitan can rack up hundreds of calories that do nothing to quench your appetite. Treat yourself just on the weekends and cut back somewhere else or stick to a glass of wine, light beer, or vodka and soda — three drinks that each have about 100 calories per serving.
8. HAVE FRUIT TWICE A DAY:
Fruit has no fat and is mostly water, so it'll fill you up while leaving less room on your plate (and in your stomach) for high-cal fare. Don't freak about fruit's carb count — we're talking the good kind of carbohydrates that contain lots of healthy fiber.
9. STAY ASLEEP LONGER:
Getting to bed just 30 minutes earlier and waking up 30 minutes later than you normally do can help you make better food choices, researchers report. Also, when you're well-rested, you're less prone to snacking out of fatigue or stress.
10. VISUALIZE YOURSELF THIN:
When you feel your willpower breaking, conjure up a mental picture of yourself when you looked and felt slim. The visual motivation keeps you focused on your goal weight and reminds you that it is attainable, since you've achieved it before.

Or you could just use common sense? You know, the good old-fashioned "eat less, exercise more" routine. Weight problems that can't be solved that way won't be solved by "diet tips".
BTW If you cut the fat off bacon and serve it on toast with a poached egg it'll be healthier than normal bacon, and it won't taste as peculiar as that turkey bacon/egg white combo. Plus, it'll be cheaper too!:coffee:Coffee +3 Dexterity +3 Willpower -1 Ability to Sleep

i think it means that your brain is too busy focusing on the TV to let you know when you are `full`, so you eat more.
I really do not like sitting dfown to eat with the tv on and on the sofa - it's just a personal thing. I'd much rather sit at a table. Completely appreciate that others will feel differently, but have to say I neither gained or lost weight when because of a change around in the house we swopped to eating with the tv on and on the sofa...0 -
The biggy is stop when you're full. Be able to leave those last 3 chips on the plate

I have never looked and felt slim, so I visualise an air brushed star who doesn't even look like the image I am creating, thereby I have a completely unattainable ideal that not only isn't attainable for me, but isn't even attainable for 1% of the population..0 -
That's one way to [STRIKE]develop anorexia [/STRIKE]lose weight!I have never looked and felt slim, so I visualise an air brushed star who doesn't even look like the image I am creating, thereby I have a completely unattainable ideal that not only isn't attainable for me, but isn't even attainable for 1% of the population..
A sensible version of the "think yourself thin" idea is to imagine all the things you'll be able to do if you get fitter - running for a bus without turning bright red like a strawberry was mine, but it hasn't worked yet:p:coffee:Coffee +3 Dexterity +3 Willpower -1 Ability to Sleep

I see. I don't think it will make any difference as far as I'm concerned - I generally just eat until the food on the plate is gone! It's very rare that I leave stuff.0 -
Can you explain this, please? I eat on my sofa as I don't have a table. What difference does it make if the TV is on or off?
hi..
It means if you eat food while watching TV, you can't make your attention your food that you eat. You may take heavy calories food more than you have need.0
