Along with the novel coronavirus pandemic, there is one other, more familiar threat that many of us are facing right now, and that is in the form of obesity. It is bad enough to suffer from either of the two at this unprecedented time. To have both, however, can be a life-threatening double whammy.

Unlike before, the rules of weight loss have changed. Specifically, the calories found in foods no longer determine your risk of getting overweight or obese. It is now the foods themselves that can determine whether or not you will gain excess weight in the long term.

Since different foods can influence your hormones and hunger in varying ways, calorie-counting can be a time-wasting task in your efforts to shed unwanted pounds. The good news is that by applying these tips, you will start to effectively lose weight without the need to count calories:

Eat Food Rich In Protein And Fiber

In lieu of weight-increasing carbs -- which you should consume in moderation, if not cut off from your diet altogether -- eat food sources that are rich in protein and fiber.Protein enhances your metabolism, decreases hunger and increases your body's ability to burn fat. Studies have found that because the body takes longer to digest protein, calorie burning automatically increases.

A 2007 study published in the American Society for Clinical Nutrition found that increased protein intake in your diet automatically reduces your calorie intake by 441 calories daily.

Protein also leads to a feeling of fullness that decreases hunger and even enhances muscle growth, especially among weightlifters.To add protein to your daily diet, eat as much meat, eggs and fish as needed.

Despite having fewer calories, certain fruits and vegetables and other fiber-rich food sources will help you feel full for longer. Multiple studies have shown that those who eat foods with higher fiber content lose more weight compared to those who do not. In addition, soluble fiber is broken down into the digestive tract into a bacteria that produces the fatty acid butyrate, which is thought to have anti-obesity effects.

"Trick" Yourself

Controlling how much you eat in your diet is easier said than done. Instead of pulling out a large plate and opt for small portions, get a smaller plate and fill it with what you are planning to eat. This "tricks" your brain into thinking that it has eaten more than what it actually has, and, silly it may be, psychologists who had studied this approach found that it tends to work.

Increase Coconut Oil Intake

Coconut oil is loaded with medium chain triglycerides, fatty acids that go straight to the liver for digestion, where they are either transformed into ketone bodies or used as energy. They also enhance energy expenditure by as much as 5 percent in one day.

Studies have shown that consuming one ounce (30 milliliters) of coconut oil daily can possibly reduce your body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference, which can be done if used as a healthier substitute to regular cooking oil.
