Lose Weight Without Exercise

Many Weight loss articles suggest that you can lose weight without exercising merely by taking a diet pill or appetite suppressant, however the truth is something different.

You can make a weight loss by changing ones eating habit, but there is more to it than that. It would be great if all they had to do was take some pill or eat some specific diet and the weight would go away.

One needs to look at why one want to lose weight and this is probably because you wish to look and feel good, part of this feeling good comes from exercising, now it is not necessary to join a health club but to change some of your habits such as walking more for example walk up the stairs at the office or on the underground rather than taking the lift or escalator. Perhaps walk part way to work, fresh air is good and exercising before work will set you up for the day.

let's look at a couple of facts regarding weight loss without exercising.

1. Diets do not work as far as permanent or healthy weight loss is concerned.
When you suddenly decrease the calories you regularly have been feeding your body, it senses a starvation situation (built in survival trait) and lowers its basic metabolic rate. In other words, it adjusts itself to function with fewer calories. This might not be too bad, but, if you go back to your old eating habits, the same amount of calories will now produce more fat to be stored on your body.

This is the reason that going on and off diets is very likely to cause weight gain, rather than weight loss! It's called yo-yo dieting.

Additionally, extreme reductions in nutrition can also mean extreme reductions in the vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fats (needed for life), phytonutrients, and other nutritional factors required for health, energy, and long life. You might lose weight but actually endanger your health and lack the energy necessary to live your life with pleasure.

2. Permanent, healthy weight loss is commonly achieved through a combination of exercise and proper nutrition.
Test after test and study after study has demonstrated beyond a doubt that the most effective weight loss program is one that includes regular, moderate exercise and healthy eating and living habits. The exercise does NOT have to be extreme, although overall results will usually be directly related to the amount of effort expended.

3. While there are diet products and supplements which can enhance the effects of any weight loss program, they very seldom do the trick by themselves for most people.
Even the manufacturers of the Alli fat loss pill, which at the moment is the only federally approved weight loss pill, will let you know that you really need to be doing other things as well as taking their pill to experience effective weight loss. Testing of that pill, one of the most effective available, show that weight loss with the pill alone will be minimal unless it is used with a program of regular exercise and proper nutrition.

Regular, moderate exercise can burn calories and build lean muscle tissue which will continue to use up excess calories and burn fat even when we are not exercising. It will raise energy levels, make daily life easier, help elevate mood and fight depression, and will help protect us against a host of degenerative diseases. It has been shown to delay and mitigate the effects of aging, and has been shown a potent protector against many conditions including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and many forms of cancer.

Healthy eating does not necessarily mean "dieting". Healthy eating involves such things as proper selection of foods, paying attention to portion sizes, and changing a few eating habits…including that great American pastime…snacking!

I used the term "healthy eating and living" because such things as getting the proper amount of sleep, having fun, and having friends can also contribute to health in general and weight loss in particular.

So if you are keen to start a weight loss program broaden it out to a complete lifestyle change.
