A woman who lost half her own body weight has been crowned Slimming World's Woman of the Year 2019.

Wendy Deacon, 49, from Dublin, shed an incredible 12 stone 4.5 pounds and is now unrecognisable following her transformation.

She says she was inspired to lose weight after her daughter began to fear she may "eat herself to death".

After originally weighing 22 stone 4.5 pounds Wendy has managed to lose more than half of that and now weighs in at just 10 stone.

Her journey saw her drop 11 dress sizes from a size 32 to a size 10 or 12.

Wendy said her weight began to make her not want to leave the house and despite coming across as "jolly and smiley", inside, she felt anything but.

She said: "I remember once a small boy pointed at me in the street and said 'look at that fat lady' to his mother.

"She tried to hush him, but the damage was done. I'd never felt so embarrassed, I just wanted the ground to swallow me up."

Wendy decided to do something about her weight when she found out that her daughter Amy was fearing for her life.

"Hearing that broke my heart and I knew I needed to change," Wendy said. "The thought of my daughter being so worried about my health really spurred me into action."

She said the weight-loss and recognition have given her the confidence to plan a wedding to her long-term fiance, and she is now looking forward to her 50th birthday in January.

"By far the best thing about losing weight though is seeing the pride in my family's faces, especially Amy's. I've finally started to feel proud of myself too - I've got my whole life back."

Wendy said she found it difficult to get used to cooking from scratch on the Slimming World plan - but was helped by her local group.

Incredible transformation of Slimming World 'Woman of the Year' who lost more than half her body weight - Manchester Evening News

A few years ago, mom told us that everyone at work was talking about it. So, I also gave the GM diet a try. Soon, it made me weak and I was not enjoying it. Over the years, juggling between not eating carbs or eating only fruits and soup, I fainted a few times due to low sugar or low blood pressure, says Aishwarya Bhosale (name changed), a 24-year-old post-graduate student. The GM diet, also known as the General Motors diet, promises rapid results for those looking to lose body fat rapidly, by having them eat select foods. It was apparently devised by the carmaker to help its employees lose weight.

Heena Parmar, a Chennai-based professional in the event management industry, has tried numerous diets because of her sedentary lifestyle. I saw a social media influencer posting her food habits, swapping rice with cauliflower rice, whole-wheat chapatis with coconut-flour rotis... A lot of other influencers were doing the same. Without doing much research I just followed her. A few days into the diet, I was ill and unhappy. The story is pretty much the same with Riya, Shruti and Rohan, all of whom have been wrestling with food and lifestyle changes.

While junk food has proliferated and is just a keypad touch away from ones doorstep, the same is the case with healthy food. The only problem: what exactly should one eat? Awareness about the need to eat and live healthy has grown but there are millions of advisers out there and it is hard to know which one to follow. A simple Google search can get you in touch with the diets of skinny models and actors. Hashtags such as #cleaneating, #detox and #diet will lead you millions of pictures on Instagram. Millions world-over watch lifestyle and diet videos on YouTube the latest fad is watching various What I eat in a day videos. The ample number of diets veto (vegan keto), paleo, Atkins, vegan, raw food, only-fruit, gluten-free and so on has created a sumptuous cocktail of myth and confusion.

According to a study by management consultancy RedSeer, entitled Indian habit of being healthy, India is home to 90 million Health Conscious Individuals (HCI). And, it says, this figure will touch 130 million by 2020.

The RedSeer report also states that a large segment of the HCIs consist of people who are highly concerned and aware of fitness needs but only make partial efforts.

Vicky Sinha, running on the corporate hamster wheel, says eating healthy food is a task. With everything being delivered at the doorstep, I keep slipping in and out of my diet plans. I think I might now start an intermittent fasting diet; I saw it on Instagram a few days ago, he says.

These short-term, quick-result diets give instant gratification. But they can also have adverse effects, both mentally and physically. Riya Chauhan, a college student, says she tried the only soup for dinner diet method. It gave me instant results. But once I stopped it, I gained double the weight I lost, in no time.

Vicky says that his mundane, desk job gives him no time to exercise. That is why he keeps trying the fancy diets. These diets help me feel a little less guilty of being in an unhealthy life situation, he says.

Kannan Raman, Nutritionist and co-founder of Daily9, a lifestyle coaching digital entity, says the most important aspect of living healthy is to sleep well at least for eight hours; eat well focussing on quality rather than quantity; and exercise regularly, in that order.

And if one wants to follow a diet, he says, simple and boring wins every time. Start slow and do not stop. Kannan has a basic thumbrule for anyone who wants to go on a diet. Do you see yourself sustaining this for a year? If the answer is no, then maybe this is not for you. Anyone who wants to go on a diet, he says, should be mentally prepared for change and be ready to sustain that change over the long term.

Dr M Meenakshi Sundaram, a Chennai-based general physician, says jumping on to the crash-diet bandwagon may not necessarily be the best choice for a person. Dietary restrictions are not required for youngsters, he says. People who are young and active need foods that will fuel their energy, and that has to come from carbs, he says.

Another myth that is being followed is the no-whites diet, which he says is not good for health, especially for youngsters. Salt, sugar and rice are required by the body. The brain needs sugar to function and the body needs some amount of salt. Youngsters should not avoid these completely.

Kannan and Dr Meenakshi both recommend that people stay close to their roots and eat the food from their culture rather than venturing out, in a manner of speaking, to distant places such as the Mediterranean to follow fancy diets alien to them. Any change in the diet should happen gradually, Kannan says. For instance, by adding an extra vegetable in meals, or gradually increasing the portion size of vegetables.

In the end, says Aishwarya Bhosale, who tried the GM diet: It is best to consult an expert and get a tailor-made diet, to avoid repercussions.

The Arctics oldest and thickest ice is melting twice as fast as other ice in the Arctic Ocean, according to a new study by the American Geophysical Union.

The study, published in the groups journal Geophysical Research Letters, discovered the ice in the ocean north of Greenland (which researchers thought would be the last place to lose year-round ice cover) was more mobile than they previously thought and that the ice there is declining twice as fast as ice in the rest of the Arctic, according to the AGU. The group determined that the ice is likely affected by the ocean currents and atmospheric winds transporting the older, thicker ice to other parts of the area.

And researchers predict the Arctic could be ice-free in the summers as early as 2030.

According to the report, most ice covering the Arctic is about one to four years old. Conversely, the Last Ice Area is an area with ice that is more than five years old and can measure more than 13 feet thick. The research showed, however, the ice was becoming thinner in two subregions of that area.

We cant treat the Last Ice Area as a monolithic area of ice which is going to last a long time, Kent Moore, an atmospheric physicist at the University of Toronto in Canada and the lead author of the new study, said in a statement. Theres actually lots of regional variability.

The Last Ice Area is considered a refuge for wildlife, according to the AGU.

Eventually the Last Ice Area will be the region that will repopulate the Arctic with wildlife, Moore added. If we lose all the ice, we lose those species. This area will be a refuge where species can survive and hopefully expand their regions once the ice starts returning.

In an effort to visualize the melting ice, the AGU posted a video earlier this week that shows the age of the Arctic sea ice between 1984 and 2019. The two-minute video displays the older ice cover, shown in white, shrinking significantly over the years.

Unfortunately, melting ice is not new and disappearing glaciers have continued to reveal landscapes not seen for thousands of years. In January, researchers found plants that had been hidden for at least 40,000 years revealed by melting glaciers in the Canadian Arctic. And in October, five new islands were discovered by the Russian navy following glacial melting.

When Ellen Zwiefel started putting on weight after the birth of her second child, she did what a lot of people do: She tried to run it off. Four or five times a week, she laced up her running shoes and ran five miles, nonstop. But the scale refused to budge. Figuring she wasnt doing enough, Zwiefel, 44, started attending regular cycling classes and doing additional workouts on cardio machines. Months of heroic effort, however, did little to reshape her body. Nothing was working, she says. I thought my metabolism had just slowed down and that Id never be able to lose the weight.

But rather than give up, Zwiefel sought help. Under the guidance of Jason Stella, NASM-PES, CES, head of training at Life Time Fitness in Chanhassen, Minn., Zwiefel took up a strength-building program. Instead of low-intensity, repetitive exercise sessions on treadmills and ellipticals, she began doing shorter, more intense workouts with weights that were never the same from one day to the next.

Four months later, Zwiefels shoulders, arms and abs had the sculpted, athletic look shed always wanted. Better yet, 15 pounds had melted off, and herbody fat percentage was 7.5 points lower. Friends started asking her how shed pulled it off. Strength training made all the difference in the world, she says.

Many gym-goers and even some health and fitness professionals still believe that strength training is only for people who want to gain weight in the form of shirt-stretching muscles, and that long-duration exercise like running and cycling is the fastest way to lose fat. In-the-know trainers like Stella, however, believe otherwise.

Both their real-life experience and the latest fitness research suggest that low- to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, while beneficial, is not the fastest route to leanness and overall health that many people believe it is. The real key to fat loss is high-intensity exercise, especially strength training with real weights, real sweat and real effort.

The real key to fat loss is high-intensity exercise, especially strength training with real weights, real sweat and real effort.

The results may have little to do with what the scale tells you. Your weight may go down, stay the same, or even go up a bit. Your shape, however, will change dramatically, says Stella. I always ask my clients, Do you want to hit a number on the scale, or do you want to be leaner, more athletic, and able to fit into your clothes better, even if you weigh a little more? For most people, its no contest.

Aerobic activity is great for your heart and lungs. For many, it can be a meditative way to clear the mind, blow off stress and get in touch with nature. For others, its a challenging and invigorating competitive sport. But as a tool for getting leaner, aerobic exercise by itself is a mediocre strategy.

Heres the problem: To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you eat. Stay in a calorie-deprived state long enough, and your body begins to burn through its own tissues for fuel. Presto! The number on the scale goes down. You can make that number drop through aerobic exercise and calorie restriction. But what most bathroom scales wont tell you is how much of the weight you lose is in the form of fat, and how much of it is muscle. And losing muscle mass can sabotage your weight-loss efforts.

Muscle contraction is a primary engine of fat loss, explains Stella: The more muscle mass you have to contract, the more calories you can burn. In addition, strength-training workouts that take large muscle groups to a state of burn will increase the release of hormones that aid in reducing body fat. So anyone who wants to lose fat should make every effort to hang on to, and even gain, as much lean muscle mass as possible.

The best way to do that is resistance training, which will help you hold on to your muscle tissue while you lose fat. You might even gain some muscle while youre restricting your calories, as long as youre getting enough protein. (Stella recommends a gram of protein per pound of lean body weight per day, which requires an individual to know his or her body fat percentage.) In turn, this extra muscle keeps your metabolism humming, even as restricted food intake threatens to slow it down.

Numerous studies have demonstrated conclusively that strength training, in conjunction with good nutrition, burns fat much more effectively than dieting alone and dieting in conjunction with aerobic exercise. What no study has shown yet is exactly how.

This much is known: Aerobic activity burns fat while youre exercising, but anaerobic (meaning without oxygen) activity burns fat in the minutes, hours and days following exercise, as your body recovers from your workout. Compare the energy costs of the two activities during a workout session, as many studies have done in the past, and aerobic activity appears to burn more fat, which may explain why many health and fitness professionals still recommend it.

But if you add up the fat burned by the two activities during and after exercise including whats burned between sets during the workout itself anaerobic activity comes out ahead. Way ahead.

Several factors contribute to this. An exerciser consumes additional oxygen in the hours and days following a strength-training session (a phenomenon known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, or EPOC), and that accounts for some of the difference. Simply put, you burn more calories and keep your metabolism elevated when you use more oxygen. The muscles of a strength-trained athlete also remain slightly contracted (meaning theyre still firing) for several hours after working out, which adds fuel to the metabolic furnace. And its likely that the fat-burning effect of an anaerobic workout is cumulative, so that with each successive set, you burn incrementally more fat, leading to a kind of fat-burning jackpot at the end of your workout.

But, as with many questions in the relatively young field of exercise science, a complete answer remains elusive. The truth, says Christopher Scott, PhD, associate professor at the University of Southern Maine and an expert in metabolism, is that we dont have a valid way of measuring anaerobic energy expenditure.

Absent a full explanation, experts like Alwyn Cosgrove, MS, CSCS, posit that intense anaerobic exercise causes an unusual amount of metabolic perturbation breakdown in muscle and other tissues from which the body must scramble to recover.

Cosgrove, co-owner of Results Fitness in Newhall, Calif., and coauthor of The New Rules of Lifting for Life (Avery, 2012), explains that this systemwide disturbance results in a temporary but significant spike in resting metabolic rate. This spike, combined with the large amounts of fat and calories burned by the activity itself, probably accounts for the remarkably high energy expenditure of these types of activity.

You cant see all the benefits of strength training in the mirror, but youll definitely feel them. One reason: Regular, intense resistance training can have a dramatic effect on your endocrine (or hormonal) system, which manages energy, mood and other components of well-being.

Regular, intense resistance training can have a dramatic effect on your endocrine (or hormonal) system, which manages energy, mood and other components of well-being.

Hormones also regulate your bodys immediate and long-term responses to strength training, so they not only help you burn fat and build muscle directly after a workout, but they also make you a more efficient fat-burning, muscle-building machine, 24/7.

Strength training affects dozens of hormones directly or indirectly, but here are a few of the key players:

Different approaches to strength training, from high reps to low reps, heavy weights to light weights, and everything in between, all elicit slightly different responses from your endocrine system. This has led some zealous exercisers to chase different hormones with overly rigid workout programs or to seek out sketchy hormone-boosting supplements.

But Jonathan Mike, PhD(c), USAW, CSCS, NSCA-CPT, an expert on the hormonal effects of exercise at the University of New Mexico, advises against such strategies. The actions of the various hormones are interrelated, he explains. You cant raise one without affecting the others, negatively or positively.

Mike advises clients to stick with a general resistance-training program. (For more on an especially effective fat-burning method, see Training Tips, below and the Rev Up Your Metabolism! workout.)

In addition to biochemical benefits, a progressive strength-training program also keeps you operating at maximal inefficiency. And thats better than it sounds.

The problem with many repetitive exercise programs is that they require progressively less energy the more you do them. Thats partly because repetition of any activity makes you more efficient: Your body gets better at performing that task. This is especially true if youve lost a significant amount of weight. Your body will naturally use less energy to move your new, lower weight. Youll also expend less energy during low- to moderate-intensity exercise. This enhanced efficiency can be a major impediment if youre trying to lose weight.

The problem with many repetitive exercise programs is that they require progressively less energy the more you do them. Thats partly because repetition of any activity makes you more efficient: Your body gets better at performing that task.

Your best bet, then, is to find ways to make your exercise program more inefficient. With aerobic exercise, you can mix it up: Alternate longer runs, rides or swims with some intermittent training intervals in which you go hard for a short burst (30 to 60 seconds), then slow down to an easy pace for a minute or two. But its even simpler with strength training: Slap some extra weight on the bar, or take some off. Do sets for time instead of stopping at a predetermined number of reps. Adjust your rest time between sets, do your exercises in a different order, or do different exercises altogether, and you have a new set of challenges to which your body has to adapt. Tweak your program regularly, and you can continue improving for as long as you keep up your strength-training efforts.

Changing things up guarantees inefficiency, says Lou Schuler, CSCS, coauthor of The New Rules of Lifting for Life. And thats what you want when youre trying to create a metabolic stimulus for fat loss.

Many people find that the variety and progression inherent in strength training keeps the activity engaging, which is an advantage in itself. But Cosgrove believes that higher-intensityactivities may actually burn large amounts of fat in part because they require so much focus and attention, and dont allow you to simply go through the motions. After all, its pretty tough to zone out when youre holding a loaded barbell over your head. There may be a cognitive element to effective fat-loss programming that we dont yet fully understand, he says.

At some point, says Cosgrove, health and fitness professionals may find out exactly whats going on cognitively and metabolically, allowing them to devise programs that burn fat even faster. But for now, they arent sweating the details and neither should you. Weve been wrong in the past about the mechanism behind it, he admits. For all I know, strength training simply summons the gods of fat loss. But were not wrong about the fact that it works.

Cut up the large apples into pieces, add them into the water. Mix all the ingredients well and store it in the fridge overnight to let the apples infuse in the water.

It is a common mistake to believe that drinking milk will keep you from losing weight. In eality, studies have proven that a calcium-rich diet is linked to long-term weight loss.

Calcium promotes the bodys ability to burn fat alongside a moderate diet system or weight loss program. According to research from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who consumed more calcium over the course of two years lost more weight than those that consumed less calcium.

Since milk is a good source of calcium, a reasonable quantity of skim milk might be a good addition to your diet. However, science is still unclear on dairy and calciums effect on weight loss. Milk can also be high in calories, so be sure youre still drinking in moderation.

This is an Arabian recipe tested since time immemorial. It can stimulate the metabolism and is a great drink to try.

Watermelon is high in lycopene, like tomatoes. Lycopene is a carotenoid phytonutrient thats especially important for our cardiovascular health, and an increasing number of scientists now believe that lycopene is important for bone health as well. This fruit also contains a high level of Citrulline. Citrulline is an amino acid that is commonly converted by our kidneys and other organ systems into arginine (another amino acid).

Limes are filled with Vitamin C and antioxidants and protects against arthritis.

The Fastest Way to Lose Weight in 3 Weeks

I know Its tough to hear. I love my wine just as much as the next person (or a lot more).

Sure, your glass of wine has some antioxidants. Beer has some health benefits, according to WebMD. But the bottom line is this: Any trace nutrients or benefits you may get from alcoholic beverages can ALWAYS be found through higher-quality sources.

I promise you that.

Unfortunately, no matter what type of alcohol you drink, its filled with empty calories. There are about 90 to 200 calories in the average glass of wine or beer. A few of those a night can add more calories than a doughnut to your daily calorie count.

If you have been drinking moderately (or heavilywe wont judge), limiting alcohol can be a quick way to cut those calories without feeling hungry.

According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, alcohol consumption can damage the liver and the pancreas.

These organs are crucial for optimal digestion of food, and they help the body convert nutrients into energy.

Keeping the liver and the pancreas healthy can help make sure that the food that you eat is going where its supposed to. It can also allow your body to regulate blood sugar adequately. Out-of-control blood sugar can lead to cravings and weight gain.

Also, your body burns close to 75% less fat by the time youve downed half of your second alcoholic beverage, according to this study.

It also uses fewer carbs for energy because it wants to use the toxic by-products created as a result of the alcohol consumption instead. You end up being more likely to store those extra carbs as fat.

If youre sensitive to a particular food ingredient, you might be unaware that its causing inflammation.

Although sugar, simple carbohydrates, dairy and highly processed foods are likely culprits, you could also be sensitive to something random, like salicylates or nightshades.

If you tend to eat a particular food regularly, try avoiding it for a few weeks just to see if something shifts. You may notice that you instantly lose the bloat or stop getting gassy in the afternoons.

Focusing on eating only fresh foods that you prepare yourself can also help you lose weight quickly.

Processed foods contain a lot of sodium and sugars, and they often have chemicals that mess with your bodys ability to function optimally.

Detoxifying your body of these chemicals will make it react better to the clean nutrients that you take in.

Honey, molasses and maple syrup are still sugars. Even though theyre not white and refined, they add needless calories to your daily intake.

Research shows that sugar is detrimental to your metabolism. When youre consuming sugar, your body uses more carbohydrates for fuel instead of turning to your fat stores.

Experts say that sugar also leads to increased fat in your belly and your liver. This can lead to insulin resistance, which means that your body isnt properly metabolizing the sugars in your blood.

Dr. Mark Hyman says that cutting out sugar is a key component of automatic weight loss. He describes what happens to your body when you consume a soda versus a bunch of broccoli with the same number of calories.

Your body still has to use up energy to burn both off; however, the soda will make insulin levels spike. It will interfere with your neurotransmitters, leading you to be even hungrier, and will also encourage your body to store fat.

When you eat the same number of calories of broccoli, your blood sugar stays balanced. The fiber helps you feel full, and you increase your bodys ability to burn fat instead of slowing it down.

Also, when you have more fat surrounding your internal organsthe kind that develops from eating too much sugarthose fat cells use up fuel more quickly.

Your body thinks youre starving yourself and slows down your metabolism in response.

Plus, it tells you to eat more so that you get more fuel.

You can begin to shut down this vicious cycle by eliminating the sugar from your diet.

When you think youve already been eating healthfully, it can be frustrating to see the number on the scale remain immobile.

Sometimes, your body needs a hard reset.

Maybe you stay away from the cheese and butter and make sure that you get plenty of protein; however, many dieters dont realize that theyre not getting enough nutritional balance from veggies.

A brief fast (up to 24 hours) followed by a heavy veggie day can help your body rebalance its ability to use fuel efficiently. It can also begin to heal an overworked digestive system.

For the next few weeks, concentrating on consuming balanced portions of protein and vegetables throughout the day will help you lose weight quickly. If youre hungry, eat more veggies!

The more variety of vegetables you consume, the less likely you are to feel deprived and binge on junk food.

Doing too much intense cardio can lead to cravings, and giving in to those cravings can derail your attempt to lose weight quickly.

Instead of worrying about burning calories, focus on keeping your body moving in a fun way throughout the day.

Go for walks. Take a hike. Do some yoga if it feels good. Dance to your favorite music. Challenge your kids to a hula hoop competition.

Youll rev up your metabolism by moving more throughout the day, and youll also keep your stress levels lower, which can help you lose weight.

Lastly, if you need a program to help you establish healthier habits, weve got you covered. This is EXACTLY what our entire 21-Day Fat Loss Challenge is centered around. Its a 3-week diet.

The Fastest Way to Lose Weight in 3 Weeks | Avocadu

You can be a lazy woman and lose weight. I like to think that you can be a busy woman and lose weight.

Obviously being proactive in losing weight and feeling great takes time and energy. With a job to go to and a family to take care of these things sometimes go on the backburner.

When my husband tries to get me up at 5am to work out with him I give him the eye (he hates the eye) and I roll back over because I know I have a long day ahead of me.

Thats why its important for me to look for any possible ways to lose weight without having to exert more time and energy than I have. If I can get a workout in then great, but if not what am I going to do?

If youve ever heard the saying that abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym, then know that it is the truth.

Love handles and muffin tops are also made in the kitchen.

What Im saying is the kitchen can be good or bad, it totally depends on you.

Im getting off track.

The purpose of this post is to talk about ways that you, the busy woman, can lose weight without trying to cram in exercise time.

Will you get six pack abs? Nope.

Will you get ridiculously toned arms? Nope.

Will you finally get that bubble butt? Nope.

Those things require muscle and you cant build muscle if you dont work on building muscle.

What I talk about in this post is strictly meant for those looking to drop the pounds aka burn the fat.

There is a caveat to the things you will read here. None of them are miracle cures. They are basic things that you should be doing already.

I dont believe in weight loss pills or other silver bullets.

I believe in making sure the human body performs the way it is supposed to perform.

Nothing more, nothing less.

If this is the only thing you do on the list then consider yourself a success.

Carbs are delicious.

Carbs are deliciously bad.

Carbs can really make or break how your body looks. When you are working out and burning a ton of calories, carbs can be your friend.

When all you are doing is working at your desk job and picking up the kids after school carbs are your worst enemy.

There is also a bit of confusion around carbs. Many people associate carbs with bread, pasta, and rice, and they would be absolutely correct. But carbs are also present in vegetables.

So that means vegetables are bad?! You already know the answer to that. Of course, vegetables arent bad for you. They contain the good carbs.

Its the so-called white carbs that you need to watch out for. These carbs, if not burned off, get converted into glycogen which your body likes to use to make fat. If you stop providing your body with these carbs then you stop providing your body with a way to produce that nasty fat.

If you want to see the impact that carbs have on your body then do a carb detox. Youll be amazed at the weight you start to drop simply by changing up a few things.

I lost 3lbs over a weekend when doing a carb detox one time and 13lbs over two months just by cutting back on the soda and candy bars.

Ill catch myself wanting to revisit Cheesecake Factory from time to time and skipping right to dessert but thats okay if you do these things in moderation.

Now that you are dropping the carbs you need to replace the lost energy that they provide with another source.

Say hello to your new best friend Mr. Protein.

Protein is the energy source that humans have relied on since the dawn of time. Our cavewoman ancestors didnt bother baking bread or cakes. They ripped off a slab of Elk and ate it like everyone else.

They never got tired because protein provided them with what I like to call clean energy.

When we are tired we often run for whatever has the most sugar (soda, candy, etc.) because our brains tell us that we need a boost of energy. The problem is that this energy is dirty energy. It is temporary and you end up crashing afterward.

Converting your body over to clean energy means that you are more energized throughout the day without that annoying grogginess that kicks in after lunch.

There is another huge benefit of consuming protein and that is muscle growth. No, you wont look like the Hulk, but your body requires energy and the good stuff that protein provides to build muscle. Building muscle burns fat.

See where Im going with this?

The most difficult thing about consuming protein isconsuming protein. It can be hard getting your daily intake!

Thats why protein powders were invented. They have all different types with all different flavors. They are wonderful. The protein powder that Im totally addicted to right now is Fitmiss Delight Nutritional Shake.

I dont know about you but I love to eat so the idea of fasting never appealed to me until I learned more about it.

When I used to think of fasting I would think of the people that would go two or three weeks without eating. No way! You wont see me lasting that long.

Then I learned about intermittent fasting and its benefits.

Intermittent fasting is simply restricting your meals to one a day. Instead of getting everything you need in 4-6 meals you do it all at once.

Why would you do this? It sounds like torture, right?

Well, there are a number of benefits to intermittent fasting:

There are tons more but those reasons should be enough.

Intermittent fasting takes some training. Ive eaten multiple meals a day my whole life so changing things up to just one at night took a little getting used to but once I did it, it was amazing.

I always chuckle at diets that tell you to eat less. You can eat almost all of the food that you want as long as it is the good food!

Youd be surprised how many awesome meals you can have with just vegetables alone. I know the vegans out there are screaming I told you so but nobody wants to listen to them (just playing, I love you).

However, when I started to look up how to get more vegetables into my diet I was introduced to a lot of wonderful things.

Instead of pasta, I could do zucchini noodles.

Instead of mashed potatoes, I could do cauliflower mashed potatoes. Oh and roasted cauliflower with some seasoning? O. M. G.

You can really get any type of flavor that you want with vegetables. You just have to go explore and hunt down a recipe.

This one is the most difficult for me for a couple of reasons:

There isnt much I can do about #1. Its just something that I have to train my body to get used to.

There are some tricks you can do to help with #2 though.

The most common trick is to simply always carry water around with you. Another neat trick is to fill up a gallon of water and mark it off at certain levels to show you where you are supposed to be each hour.

Want to flavor your water up a bit? Check out these 11 great tasting detox water recipes.

I know the idea of this post is to lose weight without exercising, but when you combine these things with exercise then, of course, you will see more drastic results.

Dont think that you need to train for a marathon. You can start off by simply walking 30 minutes a day. I know what youre thinking, you walk 10,000 steps every day at work!

Thats great, but you need to do the type of walking that allows you to clear your mind. The type of walking that isnt interrupted every couple of steps.

I make sure to combine my walks with walking my girls (my dogs).

Losing weight starts with the type of stuff that you put into your body. If you can get that under control and treat your body like the fine temple it is then you will start to see the results.

How to Lose Weight Quickly Without Exercise

Losing weight quickly is unhealthy for a number of reasons; the quickly weight loss is unlikely to stick for a long period of time, you're much less likely to take in 100% of the nutrients your body needs each day and your energy levels will plummet, impacting many areas of your life. When you think of losing weight as a temporary diet, you will lose it in an unhealthy manner. Weight loss should be thought of as a long term lifestyle change rather than a quick way of losing a few pounds for a party, beach trip or wedding.

1. Too Much Change. Losing weight at a healthy rate (1-2 pounds per week) already requires a lot of change. You have to cut calories, increase you physical activity and eat less of some of the foods you love. If you're starting a healthy weight loss plan, you typically spread this change out over a few weeks so you can build a solid foundation. When you try and lose weight at a pace quicker than two pounds per week (crash dieting), you won't have a lot of time to adjust. This will place a heavy strain on your body and will eventually force you to abandon your diet all together. Slow, steady change over time will lead to healthy habits, while quick changes will lead to temporary, unsustainable behaviors.

2. Not Enough Food. If you're trying to lose weight faster than the healthy pace, you'll find yourself eating close to nothing. Losing two pounds per week (healthy weight loss rate) requires a 1,000 calorie per day deficit. If you want to lose four pounds per week, you'll need to double your deficit to 2,000 calories per day. If your body burns 3,000 calories each day, you'll only be able to eat 1,000 calories to reach your weekly weight loss goal. Cutting too many calories out of your diet can have a detrimental effect on your metabolism. Your metabolism can be described as how much energy your body burns in a day to stay alive. It isn't set in stone and can be adjusted based on the environment you create (diet and exercise). Drastically cutting your calorie intake (required by quick weight loss) will slow your metabolism to a point where your calorie deficit is significantly smaller than what you planned it to be. You can cut your calories to the point of almost starving yourself but your body has the means to thwart your plans.

3. Yo-Yo Dieting. Yo-yo dieting is described as quick weight loss immediately followed by quick weight gain. With each bounce, your starting weight gets higher which means that over time, your weight will trend upward. Quick weight loss leads to this yo-yo pattern because the changes that you make to facilitate the weight loss is only sustainable for a very short period of time. Once your body says no more, you will go back to your old eating and exercise habits causing a quick return to your starting weight plus a little extra. Each time you yo-yo, you lose less weight and gain back more.

4. Nutrients. Each day, your body needs a certain amount of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber). If you're on a normal and balanced diet, this isn't a big issue. When you start cutting calories, you're also giving your body less nutrients to work with. Eating less than the required amount of nutrients will negatively affect the way your body functions. Supplements are not as effective as food.

5. Energy and Exercise. To lose weight at a fast pace, you need to do a lot of exercising. Unfortunately, you won't get very far exercising while drastically cutting your calorie intake. Food (calories) fuels exercise. Exercise (and the recovery phase) is very energy intensive. Without enough nutrients to power the recovery phase, your muscles will get smaller and weaker making it even more difficult to workout. This will eventually make it difficult if not impossible to workout leading to the up swing of the yo-yo phase.

The Bottom Line

Rather than looking at your weight loss as purely a cosmetic problem, try and see it as it deals with your overall health. Making changes to your lifestyle that will improve your health in the long run will also help you lose weight. Weight loss that is associated with healthy, long term habits such as an improved exercise routine and a balanced diet is much more likely to stick when compared to weight loss that is achieved through crash dieting.
