10 weight loss tips to help you lose weight without dieting<\/h2>\n

When you want to lose weight you’ll likely find multiple information sources that tell you that this diet or that diet is the key to weight loss success, but have you ever wondered how not to diet and still lose weight? If so we have some top tips to help you avoid the draw of diets and enjoy sustained weight loss and health changes.<\/p>\n

Eat fewer calories than you burn<\/h3>\n

\"meal<\/p>\n

The number one weight loss tip to help you drop the kilos to make sure it\u2019s in a healthy and sustainable way is to eat fewer calories than you burn. Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories you\u2019d burn if you stayed in bed all day.<\/p>\n

This is an important number to know, firstly so you\u2019re aware of how much you can eat and still lose weight, and secondly, so you know how much you must eat to stay healthy \u2013 you must never eat below your BMR calories, as this can send your body into energy-conserving starvation mode.<\/p>\n

To help calculate how you can eat fewer calories than you burn for your specific weight loss goals calculate your BMI and BMR<\/strong><\/a> to build a meal plan.<\/p>\n

Stay hydrated – but watch the sugar<\/h3>\n

Sometimes when you\u2019re out and about and on the go, with a trusty water bottle in hand, it\u2019s easy to remember to keep your water intake up.<\/p>\n

Water is an integral part of weight loss, flushing out our system and keeping our digestive system in good shape. We can sometimes, however, reach for a sugary drink when we’re thirsty so it’s best to limit or avoid these as they can pack on the calories without you knowing it.<\/p>\n

Drinks such as soft drinks, sports drinks or sugar-filled coffee drinks can all put your calories above what you need to lose weight in a single glass.<\/p>\n

Keep your water bottle next to you and every time you feel like opening the fridge or grabbing a snack, take a big gulp of water. Water can help you stop overeating as we sometimes mistake hunger for thirst. Grab a 2-litre water bottle and try to get through it during the day so you know how much you\u2019ve drunk.<\/p>\n

If you struggle to keep up with your water intake here are some tips to help<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to research, if your body isn\u2019t receiving enough sleep, hunger cravings and mood disruptions can occur more frequently.<\/p>\n

Getting less than 6 hours of sleep a night can increase a person\u2019s risk of being overweight or obese, now some lifestyles mean that getting a full 8 hours is hard but even a small increase in sleep can help.<\/p>\n

Simply heading to bed just 10 minutes earlier can help your overall sleep patterns, keep you on track with your goals and improve how you feel during the hours you are awake.<\/p>\n

Eat breakfast<\/h3>\n

You need the energy to fire up your metabolism and brain in the morning. If you do not have breakfast, it is more likely you will eat something less better-for-you sooner than later as you will not be satisfied by a filling breakfast.<\/p>\n

Experts found that filling up first thing could help boost metabolism, through a process known as diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT). If you haven’t meal prepped or are looking for a fast but filling breakfast option use The Healthy Man Meal Replacement<\/strong><\/a> shake. Not only will you get a load of vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed to help keep you healthy it will also keep you feeling full until your next meal.<\/p>\n

Plan and prep meals ahead of time<\/h3>\n
