How to reduce weight without exercise


Anosh Hi Guys, Can I ask what do you do for this. The purpose of this thread is to share your experience, knowledge and expertise that how we can reduce weight/fats without exercise? It can be any recommendation like, drink more water, any food/drink which can a reason to reduce weight etc. Most welcome your valuable suggestions. Thanks
Misery Called Life Eat 5-6 small meals a day.... Limit ur intake of carbs, if you don't really exercise much Drink green tea - increases metabolism Take up an activity that you enjoy...... Incorporate nuts, cereals and oatmeal in your diet. Remember these rules 1. Eat plants wit abandon 2. Use meats only as garnish 3 Show some love for legumes 4. indulge wisely And remember when you eat is as important as what you eat, and the Fat will fall away 1. Eat within an hour of waking up 2. Eat every three hours after breakfast Chocoholic Don't eat late at night, eating after around 6pm is a big no no. Reduce your carbs and high saturated fats. Eat more protein. Try and get more activity in your life, it's good for you. Even if it's just a gentle stroll around the block once a day. sharfraz then chocs, what do you call a dinner? or you mean to say just supper is enuff :? Speedhump As the guys above both said, you need exercise as well as change to your diet. Just about everything I ever read says it, except those advertisements for weigh loss products or stomach stapling (please don't do that!!!) ;) sharfraz anything without exercise and change in your diet is helpless for losing a few pounds!!!! 8) Chocoholic Well if you eat late at night, your body tries to digest during sleep, you feel bloated and restless, it's not good and actually messes with your motabolism. As a general rule, I always say everything in moderation. There's no point denying yourself things as you'll onyl crave them. Little and often is another good ruloe as it keeps your metabolism ticking over. Smaller portions, more fluids, lower carbs, but not no carbs as you need them and fats for your body to work properly. Cut down on unhealthy snacks, reach for a piece of fruit instead. Boil, steam, grill, oven cook food instead of frying. smoggie Eat fat to lose fat....in other words, keep your omega 3, 6 & 9 well topped up. Saturated fats are the enemy.... polys are not RobbyG
You must be the queen of diets here. 8)
Show me a photo so we can review your progress luv :lol:
You must be running on steroids and depression by now... ;) dresden Reducing weight without exercise is like asking for money without doing any work. Either you're born with a fast metabolism (or inheritance) or your not. If you're not part of the lucky club, get off your ass fatty!

Chocoholic I don't 'do' diets! Don't believe in them, they are a short term solution. I believe in eating a balance diet and doing moderate exercise. But lucky me I've always been slim. I actually look better with a few more kilos, as I can err on the side of too skinny. RobbyG
So the best way to describe you is by this picture. I guess we're not far off. You can rate between 0 to 10 for accuracy, but only if you want to 8)
Chocoholic I look nothing like SJP! smoggie
Exercise is a necessity for most....true.
But they say body conditioning is 90% diet and 10% cardio.
Sensible diet + regular exercise = fat loss RobbyG
What!!! even more ugly?
We need to see some pics here Chocs. This is unbearable. 8) :lol: :lol: :lol: Chocoholic I've been told on several occassions I look a bit like Sandra Bullock. portland :puke: Chocoholic Haha horses for courses! You'll not get a photo outta me on here! QFT! RobbyG
If this is true....and you look like Sandra Bullock....you have yourself a fan here hon.
But you really shouldn't be to skinny, cause that is just repelling to me.
If there's a little meat on ya baby, then everythin' is allright...
catch me baby? 8)
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Chocoholic Skinny doesn't suit me. I like having curves. puppypup
She's hot. Why do you call yourself a plain Jane?
Can you speak German like she does?
Back on topic: I recommend eating buckwheat, quinoa, and amaranth as well as lovely veggies. For example, quinoa has carbs, high fiber, protein, iron, some calcium and fat, and other minerals and vitamins. Amaranth has even better nutrition value than quinoa!!!!
What's your ancestry anyway? It's best to eat the healthy foods of your ancestors. I'm being serious here.
Buckwheat (kasha)

Quinoa

Amaranth
Chocoholic Well my family ancesrty is pretty interesting actually. Apparently people with my last name arrived in England after to Norman conquest of 1066, we have a really cool family Crest. Many of our 'clan' then went to America and Australia, we are still spread in these countries now. Hmm the buckwheat does not look appetizing. portland hmmm lean meat or flabby...yum! yum! hehehe whats your family name by the way choki? Chocoholic I'm not telling because it's hilarious! portland

Am I close Chocs? Bora Bora Chocs, could it be possible that your and Puppypoop are related with that ancestry between the two of you. (And it's nice to see you got a new pair of ears to hang your glasses on. - inside joke) Chocoholic No not at all. Actually my surname is pretty unique and people never believe me when I tell them what it is, and they always want to change the spelling. RobbyG
Jackson, Hubbard, Johnston, Hurst!??
I know! Its Dingee !!! :lol:
Got you now Choco :wink: portland choki girl can i see your crest? Chocoholic How can I be choki girl if my name originates from northern France? RobbyG

Now its French again....
So my closest call: Miss/Mrs Dingee was wrong?

Avoiding the inevitable now are we? ;) Chocoholic er no. You'll never guess it. RobbyG
I already did Chocs. But I bet you aren't gonna confirm it. :lol: Chocoholic I will, I'm not ashamed of it. I'm pretty proud actually. Bora Bora Is this going somewhere??? RobbyG

Chocs: I know...its Miss Bullocks?
Got it. Topic End. Confirmation please :lol: ;) Chocoholic Nope! But you have one letter right! RobbyG
And how many letters out of Miss Dingee did I gambled correct? ;) Chocoholic Another one. So you have two letters, but I'm not telling you which ones, or in what order :wink: sharfraz I like the game!!!! :lol: Chocoholic I'll own up if you guess it and maybe throw in a mystery prize. RobbyG
I think its an: E and a C.
Each one from both names, correcT? Chocoholic Nope neither actually. RobbyG
I'm losing hope and more importantly..the fun.
I need a stimula Chocoholic erm a clue? Every person has one. Bora Bora I'm not going to touch that one!!! Chocoholic Well you can't touch it anyway. RobbyG

Chocoholic Nope and I think that the guys have pretty much firgured it's part of a person. RobbyG
Brain? Speedhump When I say 'had' he didn't die yet I think, I just don't see him now ;) Speedhump
Sounds a great way to live, I love a fry-up occasionally. I had a middle-aged friend in UK whose wife cooked him a full English every morning for years. You could actually see a thin ring of white on the edge of the iris in his eyes where cholesterol was collecting!!!! He didn't really have an affinity with exercise though, so his own fault. :D portland LOL im just kidding choki :flower: puppypup
Oh dear. The ancestry question was directed at the OP. :D I read one way of healthy eating is eating your ancestors foods. For example most Asians could stay away from milk, non-Italian descent could go easy on pasta, etc. I don't know how true that is but the Spaniards messed up the indigenous Latin American diet and lots of Chinese have diabetes now. I wouldn't necessarily blame it on a Western diet since there is healthy Western food like BUCKWHEAT common in Russian/Eastern European diet or Oatmeal (Scottish), barley, lamb's lettuce (aka corn salad, mache).
Furthermore when I say ancestors, I don't only mean ethnicity but OUR ancestors. I try to eat as I think my great-parents did. I recommend the OP does his/her own cooking so you KNOW what you're eating.
So basically, I hope the OP can learn what his/her body can handle.
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but I do try care for my body as best as I can eating grains, free-range chicken, non-homogenized grass-fed milk, grass-fed beef, game, nuts, berries. Yes, I do eat Asian foods too. I like millet, kimchi, rambutan, and lychees. Chocoholic Oh boo. Like you guys never hijack posts and take them completely off topic. Don't blame me, you're just as much at fault. Chocoholic Okay, so my grandfather swore by a full English breakfast every day, a glass of red wine or brandy before bed and died at the ripe old age of 92 and he was never sick a day in his life! What does that say? portland uhm? choc would your family name be "sheet? coz every body has sheet? hehehe and it is deep and untouchable... LOL Chocoholic
No, but sadly this is my name! I said I'd own up if you got it right. humph Anosh Ohh God!!! where is original post portland
original post got hijacked by chocs ancesty and her family name...LOL muyesser Take the antibiotics I'm on; nothing stays in your system more than ten minutes.. ha ha puppypup
Our grandparents ate healthier veggies and meat. Their fatty foods were healthier too. They were more physically active. They weren't wimps.
I eat that kind of breakfast too. Not everyday but on weekends. I had baked beans all week. :lol: Anyway on weekends I cook a plate of eggs, bacon or sausages or both, grits, home fries (potatoes), and tomato with a glass of grapefruit or tangerine juice. Sometimes I have an omlette.
I have a little whiskey or cordial at night.
I hardly get sick. If I do, I drink tea and eat soup. Normally I hate tea but it helps when ill. Misery Called Life
Hey Puppy, you need to add some variety to ur cuisine...Try Arabic food? Speedhump
....is there an echo in here...? :D :D
MCL, I think you're trying out a new keyboard... ;) Misery Called Life ^^^ :sleepy5: me's so drowsy right now.......Just waitin for a friend to come over, have a nice heavy lunch with her, and then I'm off for ma Saturday siesta! :sleepy5: ^^^ uaekid com'an guys how hard could it be dieting, it's a piece of cake, there is really nothing to it ones you pass the mental issues of graving for greasy food. and ones you pass that point, then it becomes more of an eating style than dieting. I play with my weight depending how I wana look from 75kg to 90kg but most is mussel weight. I cook my own food, even at work I got my own little kitchen LOL RobbyG
You musn't lie you rude Great Dane:

and:
RobbyG
O I'm sorry you're not Rudeboy.
Sorry Kid. :wink: :lol:
btw: How was the vacation? 8) WhiteJade Dos: water...a lot of water Donts: salt; sugar. Speedhump
Drinking water before and with a meal does help you eat less. :) kanelli Why skip the exercise - you can't get happy endorphins from cutting back your diet only. Why be slim and feel crappy when you could be slim and feel great? Sharp well for that You need to look over the menu You're Taking 24/7.... n I would say take some walk!... it's an light excersise for our body!.... I mean Mostlly we couldn't get time for excersise or any activty we wan't to shap our Body!... BUT.. taking Walk after diiner or before that .... yeah It help's!!................. JBR_Resident just do Atkins kanelli Atkins is only a quick-fix. People like to see the weight come off quickly, but without an actual lifestyle change that you can live with for the rest of your life, the weight just comes back and even increases! Speedhump A friend of mine once went on a beer only diet (for two weeks I think it was). He lost weight but he was white as a sheet and felt quite ill afterwards. Dumba$$ :D JBR_Resident
you can't really change life style without changing the people you hang out with or live with. you will only continue doing bad habits unless you get to know or live with someone of the same sought lifestyle general_A break a sweat , its healthier angel 4 Not eating any sugary or fatty food, also avoiding low fat products as they are usaually packed with fat! Breakfast is a must, and it should be the biggest meal of the day! Dinner should be the smallest and your lunch medium size-it is all about portions! Most of the people feel hungry in the evening as they are insufficient with their calories during the day ( usually by skipping brekfast and having only small salad for lunch!) Snacking in between meals is very important (you shouldn't leave more than 3-4hours gaps in between your meals/snacks!) Avoid drinking alchol, fizzy drinks and increase your water intake-2-4 litres of water is a must! All of this will speed up your metabolisam so you will daily burn more calories-only following this you could burn 2-4kg a month! Of course, exercise is always a bonus, adding muscle increases your metabolisam even more and help you to melt that fat much faster! aghshahin
