Lose weight without trying?

Every time you’ve tried to lose weight in the past I can almost bet that you were obsessing about what to eat, how much of it to eat and you set all these little rules that stressed the heck out of yourself and probably quit.

This scenario happens all the time with people starting a diet plan when trying to lose weight and it doesn’t have to be this way.

When I say lose weight without trying, I mean without even thinking about it.

Im not talking about magic pills, detox recipes, or magic abdominal wraps because that stuff is complete nonsense.

The 5 approaches that I’ll talk about today actually work for you to lose weight without you having to stress all day about how much you’re eating and without following a super strict plan.

For some people a super strict plan works very well in the beginning, but even for the most iron-willed people a super strict diet plan will only work for so long before your cravings get the best of you.

So everyone eventually has to transition to something a little less time-consuming and stressful.

The first thing you can do to lose weight without trying is to start with something simple like portioning out your meals using only your hands.

Tip #1 – Portion Control

Even though there’s no way to give a definitive guide for everyone because everyone would have different portions based on their weight, I could give you a general guideline using your hands.

The good thing with your hands is that if you weigh more, usually your hands are bigger and if you weigh less usually your hands are smaller.

So all you would have to do is make sure that you have about a palm all the way up to a palm and a half of lean protein in every one of your meals.

Then you could have about 1 to 2 cupped hands of cooked complex carbs per meal depending on your weight.

With each meal you’ll also have a fist full of vegetables.

Then spread out about 2 tablespoons or 2 servings of fat for the whole day.

This simple plan is based on three to four meals a day, but you can combine some of those portions to eat less frequently by applying intermittent fasting if you only want to have like two meals.

The plan does not call for any calorie counting or weighing your food, but it’s very effective for people that want to lose weight in a very low stress way.

Again you would be having a total of about four to six palms of protein for the whole day, about one to two cups of rice or potatoes for the whole day, four fists of veggies, and two tablespoons of fat.

Simple enough.

The second tip that I want to talk about is intermittent fasting.

Tip #2 – Intermittent Fasting

If you don’t know about intermittent fasting, it essentially involves an 6-hour feeding window and a 18 hour fast.

Meaning you can only eat for a certain portion of the day depending on when you decide to place your eating window.

Personally I skip breakfast, workout first on an empty stomach and wait to have my first meal around 12 p.m.

Then once it’s past 6 p.m. at night I won’t eat again until the next day at 12 p.m..  Then I just repeat that cycle.

By only allowing yourself a 6-hour feeding window you’re decreasing the total amount of calories you can consume for the day without really thinking about it.

You’re not counting calories and you’re not following an eat this don’t eat that restrictive type of diet plan.

Of course you can over eat within your 6 hour feeding window, but it’s a lot harder then being able to eat all day by grazing.

When you first start fasting it may be a little difficult to skip breakfast, but that’s only because your body has its own schedule and it knows when you normally eat.

So at the times that you normally eat your body releases hunger hormones like grehlin and without turning this into a boring science lesson, the point is that your body will adapt to your new feeding schedule within the matter of a couple days or a week at the most.

Also by fasting you create more growth hormone which has so many health benefits like regenerating cells, weight loss, muscle building and much more.

Tip #3 – Single Ingredient Foods

The next method is one that I’ve coined the single-ingredient food method which I’ve talked about in the past.

This one’s probably the stupidest and most basic one out of all of them and surprisingly it works very very well.

In fact I find myself following this type of approach all the time.

This is how it works…

First you only allow yourself to shop at the grocery store around the outside perimeter.

Meaning unless you’re going to get some seasonings or some rice or maybe some frozen vegetables, you’re not walking inside the aisles.

Instead your sticking to the outside perimeter.

As you walk around this outside perimeter you’ll notice that almost all the food is fresh real food.

However, every now and then you’ll see potato salads and bread alongside these outside aisles.

So the other rule to follow is to only allow yourself to grab foods made up of single ingredients, meaning if you come across some bananas you can grab those, they have only one ingredient.

If you come across some chicken or fish you can grab those as well.

Rice would just be rice, sweet potatoes would just be sweet potatoes and broccoli would just be broccoli.

The only rule you have to follow when doing the single ingredient food method is make sure there’s protein and at least a cup of vegetables in every one of your meals.

Before you start chowing away at your meal you have to eat the cup of vegetables first.

Other than that there are no restrictions. That’s it, it’s literally that simple.

If you are absolutely having trouble getting in veggies for each one of your meals, I would suggest you get Organifi’s “Green Juice” created by Drew Canole.

Now you can make whatever meals you want out of these single ingredient foods that you’ve gathered up at the store and I’m willing to bet that if you actually do it, you’re gonna lose weight and here’s why.

Single ingredient foods that come from real and natural food sources are naturally filling for the amount of calories that they provide.

Not only that, but your body is also very good at processing real natural food as opposed to processed food.

Your body’s not gonna treat brown rice and cheez-its or pasta or bread on the shelf it’s not gonna treat these carbs the same way.

Start each meal with one cup of vegetables then move on to your protein, then carbs and make sure all the sources are natural single ingredients.

I know this might sound too easy and too good to be true and that’s because most people will have their single ingredient foods and they’ll also have a ton of junk food as well.

As long as you actually are consistent with it I promise you you’re gonna be slimming down like crazy.

Tip#4 – The Warrior Diet

The fourth way and one of the simplest that I also enjoy doing is known as the warrior diet.

The warrior diet is an advanced form of fasting that’s going to take some time to ease into.

After you master intermittent fasting you could try to cut down to only two meals per day and then from there you could progress down to the warrior diet (known as OMAD) which is where you’re only eating one meal a day at roughly the same time every day.

Now keep in mind this article is all about flexible dieting so if you get really hungry one of the days and you have lunch instead of waiting until the end of the day to eat your meal, it’s not going to be the end of the world.

Keep in mind that fat loss doesn’t work based off of hours and days. It works based on totals.

Your body that you have right now is the total outcome of how you’ve been spending the past X amount of years.

Don’t stress over the little details, you can make up for little lost calories.

The point of the warrior diet is to just have one big meal a day.

You can have this meal for breakfast, but I usually prefer to have it before bed.

Since you’re only eating once a day with the warrior diet, it does give you a lot more flexibility with the type of food that you can eat.

I don’t recommend it, but you’ll probably even be able to get away with eating junk food since those are gonna be the only calories you’re gonna have for the day.

Like I said earlier, your body adjusts to feeding and fasting schedules so when you first start the warrior diet even though you’ve already practiced with other forms of fasting, you might feel like you have low energy and you’re definitely going to feel hungry.

However, I promise you this does go away over time and your body will adapt pretty quickly.

The warrior diet is not for everyone.

If you get so hungry after holding out the whole day that you completely binge out believe it or not you can do some serious damage in just one meal.

So don’t get indoctrinated by any one of these methods.

In fact, you can combine multiple methods to make your weight-loss process even more flexible.

For example: If you normally do intermittent fasting but one of the days you completely pigged out on ice cream before your fasting window ended, you can skip more meals the next day and do more of a warrior dieting structure the following day.

Again your body burns fat based on totals.

The last and final method is one that I saved for last because it does involve a little more calorie counting and with that comes a little more stress.

It’s a method known as, “if it fits your macros.”

Tip#5 – Macros

With “if it fits your macros,” you would calculate your maintenance and fat loss calories and you could do that by using my calorie calculator that you can download below.

If you want an even easier way to do it, for a man you can multiply your weight by eleven and if you’re a woman you can multiply your weight by ten.

Then from there you would pick a macronutrient split that you would actually stick to.

A very common split is a 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fats.

However, there’s tons of ways that you could split up your macros including high carb, low-carb, ketogenic, the list goes on and on.

Once you pick your macros all you would have to do would be record where you’re eating with an app like My Fitness Pal.

The great thing about “if it fits your macros,” is that it allows flexibility with your food choices.

If you have a ton of carbs left over at the end of the day you can fill that void with some sweets.

Now again be sensible, the majority of your diet should be real natural food and at the end of the day you can use some of those leftover macros to satisfy some cravings.

Bonus Tip

As I listed above, intermittent fasting combined with keto is a very powerful tool to lose weight.

In fact, I would be brave enough to say that’s it’s the fastest and easiest way to lose weight.

I can personally attest that only eating 2 meals a day in combination of the ketogenic diet works wonders for fat loss.

However, the thing we don’t want is for you to be hungry.

We don’t want you to cut calories to drastically because that doesn’t necessarily work the best.

The reason for not cutting calories to low is it creates starvation.

Intermittent fasting  will greatly improve your fat burning causing you to lose weight.

Growth hormone is triggered by intermittent fasting and what that means is that we’re eating a couple meals (not three meals a day) and we’re going to add fat at the meal to be able to go longer.

So it’s not about reducing the calories from fat it’s about going longer because what happens when you have more than two meals a day is every time you eat you trigger insulin.

Your trying to keep insulin very very low and two meals a day combined with the ketogenic diet is the perfect combination

I personally found that eating meal number one at 12 p.m. and the second meal around 6 p.m. works BEST.

This is the perfect combination because if you look at the times after 6 p.m., you’ll be fasting for 18 hours until you have your first meal the following day.

This produces a massive amount of growth hormone which is responsible for burning fat.

That’s it and I hope you enjoyed this article and if you are looking for something new that works I would highly suggest intermittent fasting with keto.

What’s Next?

The ketogenic diet is the hottest diet of 2018 because it helps you quickly lose stubborn fat… it reduces fat storing inflammation… it helps you live longer and avoid today’s most deadly diseases.

But there are several problems that accompany a “traditional” high fat keto diet:

• You like to eat carbs?….You are out of ketosis.
• Want to eat some healthy, ripe fruits that are in season?….You are out of ketosis.
• Too much protein in that delicious steak or baconyou just ate?….You are out of ketosis.
• Want to have a glass (or two) or red wine, a few beers, or cocktails?  You guessed right….You are out of ketosis. 

Bottom line:

Permanent ketosis is not healthy, fun, OR realistic for anybody to follow long term, which is exactly why there’s a new, upgraded version that produces rapid results in only 14 days

It’s called, The “Targeted” Keto Diet and people have used it to drop pounds of unwanted belly flab, WITHOUT avoiding carbs, desserts, or alcohol

It all started by eating the 4 SUPER FATS below at the right time over a very short 14 day period (a few of them are probably in your kitchen right now)…
