How to Lose Weight without Feeling Deprived

How to lose weight without feeling deprived

Despite giving up your favourite junk foods, the scale just isn’t moving. Now, you may wonder how to lose weight without feeling deprived. So go and grab yourself a hot drink and read this blogpost until the end to find out.

Here are three ways to help lose weight without feeling hungry:

Firstly, modify your eating habits. Try starting your day with a protein-rich breakfast because research shows that protein helps to regulate our appetite. This means that those who start their day with a meal high in protein can better manage their hunger for longer.

You may try OPTIFAST Protein Plus shakes that deliver 28 g protein and come in rich and thick style vanilla and chocolate shake.

Additionally, replace your high calorie and processed foods with low-calorie and fibre-rich meals including fruit, vegetables, nuts, beans, and wholegrain cereals. Fibre not only satisfies your hunger but fills you up for longer.

Moreover, to help regulate hunger, the NHS recommends eating at regular intervals and using smaller plates to reduce your portion size.

Secondly, exercising every single day can help to maintain weight loss according to a study published in the Journal Obesity. So, why not consider adding a brisk walk to your daily routine? Not only is it an effective exercise to help lose weight, but it’s great for your mental health and wellbeing too.

Thirdly, it’s important to find ways to manage your stress, as high levels may trigger certain hormones such as cortisol which affect your eating choices by enhancing cravings for high-carb diet. And of course, by giving into these cravings you will gain weight. To manage stress, you may try yoga, meditation, or any type of physical exercise you enjoy. And yes, don’t forget to have ample sleep. Numerous studies have found that lack of sleep is associated with an increase in weight. Sleep experts recommend adults to get at least seven or more hours of sleep each night. Besides, proper sleep may help you to stay active and healthy.

By making these small changes to your lifestyle, you can lose weight without feeling hungry or deprived.
