14 Proven Ways to Lose Weight Without Exercise in 2020, According to Experts

1. Control your portions.

    When you’re at home, eat from smaller plates and bowls. You’ll likely take in fewer calories, and it tricks your brain into thinking you’re chowing down on more than you actually are. (Do the opposite when you’re eating healthy foods, like salads or roasted veggies—then it makes sense to supersize those dishes!). Another important tip: Don’t eat from packages of anything, even those “healthier” chips or crackers. Portion some out into a dish, and put the bag or box away.

    2. Eat more fiber.

    “Fiber helps with weight loss in so many ways,” says Karen Ansel, M.S., R.D.N., author of Healing Superfoods for Anti-Aging: Stay Younger, Live Longer. “For starters, it expands in your gut like a sponge so it’s a natural appetite suppressant. Plus, the latest research is finding it has beneficial impacts on good gut bacteria that help produce hormones in the gut that tell your brain you’ve had enough to eat. Aim for at least 25 grams a day from a variety of foods like whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables.”

    3. Load up on protein too.

    “Like fiber, protein naturally helps you feel full by influencing the production of satiety hormones,” says Ansel. “It takes a long time to digest, so you’re unlikely to go scrounging for a snack after a protein-rich meal. And here’s a neat trick: Protein also takes more energy to digest than, say, fat or carbs, so you don’t store as many of its calories. For maximum impact aim for 20 grams per meal from lean proteins such as fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, and low fat dairy.”

    1. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING Coffee’s great too, but it’s best to start your day by re-hydrating with a full glass of water. Hydrating first thing in the morning helps to aid digestion, enhance skin health and boost energy. 2. TAKE THE STAIRS Taking the stairs instead of the elevator is a simple way to get a little more physical activity in your daily life. It also strengthens and tones your legs and core while you’re at it! 3. MAKE HALF YOUR PLATE VEGGIES A simple hack for healthy eating (and portion control) is to make half your plate veggies at each meal. 4. GET A FITBIT & TRACK YOUR STEPS Using a Fitbit (we like the Ionic and Versa ) to track your steps is an easy way to make sure you’re getting enough physical activity. We aim for 10,000 steps each day , which has significant physical and mental health benefits. The Fitbit will also remind you to get 250 steps each hour (another important measure of health—see tip #9!). 5. SWITCH TO NONTOXIC HOUSEHOLD...

    9 STRETCHES FOR LEAN LEGS – GET SEXY LEGS WITH STRETCHING

    Image
    Stretch #1: Downward Dog This pose is so good to start with, especially for stretching out those hamstring and calf muscles. It really opens up those back leg muscles starting from the lower back, all the way down to the feet. You can try transferring the weight from one feet to another, banding the other knee and really try to achieve that deep stretch. If you feel flexible enough, you can try extending one of the legs up, before heading on to the next pose. Stretch #2: Low Lunge From downward dog, head on to the next stretch, the lower lunge. You just need to step your right foot forward between your hands, placing the right knee over the heel. Touch your left knee to the floor keeping the right knee fixed in place. You can do this keeping your palms on the floor, or if you feel flexible enough you can try lowering down to your elbows. Either way, keep it in the pose for at least 10 breaths. Stretch #3: Low Lunge Quad Stretch Next we have the deep lunge again, but this time, your che...
