After having a car accident and finding myself restricted from exercise, I wondered if there was a way for me to lose weight without exercising. I found a way, and so far, I have lost 10 lbs (gradually over one month) and I feel that I have a better idea of what makes me gain weight.

View the Scale as a Tool, Not as your Enemy: We come to dread the scale and what it has to say if our diet approach is unsuccessful, or if we've been unaware of what we've been putting in our mouths for days. However, using this approach, the scale will become our tool in finding the "path" to lose weight and will begin to offer positive reinforcement.

Familiarize Yourself with What You Eat For a Week: Study your portion size, how you tend to prepare foods, and how many meals you tend to eat. This will be essential in the latter steps. If you need to, write down everything you eat and in how many sittings for a week. Do not weigh yourself during this week. Just study what and how you eat.

Beginning the 2nd week, weigh yourself when:

Beginning with that 2nd week, start to restrict your diet in one or more of the following ways without changing the quantity of food. (How you restrict your diet is up to you and will depend on your motivation level. If you think it might be difficult, start out with one of the below methods. But the best result will come with using the methods below simultaneously):

Avoid Fast Food and Try to Decrease Snacking (with the goal of eliminating if you can): If you must eat a snack, pop fresh popcorn, buy rice cakes, or chunky peanut butter, or eat fruit or a handful of nuts (UNSALTED pistachios, peanuts, walnuts, cashews, etc) which are more filling. Note: It's important to avoid salty snacks as salt will make you crave more.

Enhance the Above Method by Embracing Lean Meats or Fish That Are Prepared Without Oils and That Are Sliced or Diced. Slice or dice meats. Serve yourself a portion visually similar to the meat as a block (before it was sliced/diced). You'll be eating less meat although visually it will look about the same.

Decrease Your Portion Sizes Gradually: If you can decrease the sizes of your portions in conjunction with the above methods, you'll eventually feel less in need of eating bigger meals.

Take it up a Notch:

Most Importantly, Note How Much You Gain After Each Meal And What You Lose While You Sleep: -You may gain 1/2 lb for a small meal and upwards to a lb and a half or more, for a larger meal. -Become familiar with your body's rhythm with respect to digestion. -By adjusting your intake, you'll see results.
