3 tips to lose weight quickly without cutting calories or giving up starch

Quang Minh (THEO ABOLUOWANG) |

Weight loss is often associated with cutting calories and restricting carbs, but this isn't always the only way.

Here are three quick weight loss tips that you can use without eliminating calories or carbs from your diet.

Increase fiber in your diet

Fiber is an important factor in helping you lose weight without cutting calories.

According to research published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, soluble fiber has the ability to slow down digestion, helping you feel full longer and reduce cravings.

Foods rich in fiber include green vegetables, fruits, nuts and whole grains.

A study from the Journal of Nutrition found that consuming an additional 14 grams of fiber per day can help reduce natural calorie intake by 10%, thereby supporting weight loss.

Try adding broccoli, avocado, or oatmeal to your meals to achieve this effect.

Eat slowly and concentrate

Eating behavior also plays an important role in weight control. A study from Kyoto University (Japan) shows that eating slowly and chewing thoroughly can help reduce calorie intake without changing the diet.

When you eat slowly, your body has enough time to send fullness signals from your stomach to your brain, helping you avoid overeating.

Nutritionists encourage people to eat mindfully, without being distracted by phones or TV. This not only helps control food intake but also improves digestion.

Drink water before meals

Drinking water before meals is an effective way to reduce hunger without cutting down on portion sizes. Research from Obesity Journal shows that drinking about 500ml of water before meals reduces calorie intake by up to 13%.

Water helps fill the stomach, thereby reducing hunger and the need to eat.

Replacing sugary drinks with water or unsweetened green tea can also be a big help in weight loss. Green tea, recommended by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), contains catechins and caffeine, two compounds that help boost metabolism and burn fat.
