Losing weight without exercise is real!
In this article you will find the answer to the question and advice of Doctor of Biological Sciences Galina Grossmann - how to lose weight without physical activity at home.
These tips will be supported by the results of research by American and Greek scientists, whose recommendations and conclusions you can read here. Let's say right away that losing weight without training and playing sports is real. There are a number of proven methods for this. A description of one of them is given in the second part of the post. In the meantime, let me divert your attention a little with a little backstory.
The question formulated in the title arises among three categories of people:
- The first small category includes those who, for objective reasons, cannot perform the required range of movements: people with disabilities, with severe chronic diseases, and the elderly.
- The second category includes people who, due to busyness or work characteristics, are unable to organize systematic physical education classes for themselves.
- The third on the list, but the first largest category are those who find it difficult to force themselves to train systematically, or are simply lazy.
There is no shame in laziness. It was formed by evolution as a way to preserve the most valuable, vital resource - energy, during food shortages. Therefore, excess energy obtained from food is not wasted, but replenishes fat reserves.
Excess fat stored for future use has unpleasant side effects. They worsen the quality of life, spoil your mood, and take away your health. Our natural laziness, as well as the deterioration in quality of life and health caused by extra pounds, raises a whole bunch of questions among those who want to lose weight: How to lose weight without sports? How to lose weight without dieting and exercise?
Fortunately, nature has left us a loophole to lose weight without intense exercise. However, there is one caveat. You won't be able to lose weight lying on the couch. Minimal physical activity is still necessary. Of course, if we want not only to lose weight, but to maintain and increase our health. We will talk about the norms of minimal physical activity a little lower.
Studies of the physiology of weight loss have identified a number of patterns, having learned which we will understand how to lose weight quickly and effectively at home without diets or tedious sports training with health benefits.
Here are three “pillars” based on which we can comfortably lose weight:
- Proper nutrition.
- Drinking regime.
- Comfortable physical activity.
First things first.
Make chocolate wraps
When it comes to inexpensive and effective procedures for losing weight and eliminating “orange peel” skin, many people think of body wraps. Everything you need for a “SPA at home” is sold in a regular store. You will need ordinary cling film and chocolate with at least 70% cocoa beans.

Sequence of the procedure:
- Apply melted chocolate to problem areas;
- wrap in regular cling film;
- Cover yourself with a blanket to enhance the effect of the procedure;
- After 40 minutes, wash the chocolate off your body.
The result is noticeable after the first procedure, but it is advisable to carry out a course of 12 sessions. The optimal frequency is 2 times a week. You can add a couple of drops of citrus essential oil to the melted chocolate. This will enhance the effect of the procedure.
How to eat right to lose weight at home.
Proper nutrition is often associated with diets. As they say in Odessa, eating right and following a diet are “two big differences.” We wrote earlier about the impossibility of losing weight by limiting your diet in the article biocompensation method.
The conclusions of this article confirm the results of scientific research by American scientists - Professor at the University of Minnesota, Professor Tracy Mann and her colleagues. Tracy has 20 years of experience researching nutrition and nutritional psychology. Tracy, based on her twenty years of research, formulated a conclusion refuting previous views -
“In reality, diets don’t work and can cause even more harm than obesity.”.
After analyzing a large number of episodes of weight loss on diets, Tracy and his colleagues concluded that not a single diet gives long-term sustainable results. At first, by restricting diet, a person can lose 5 to 10 percent of their body weight. But then the kilograms pile on again. Practice has proven for certain that the vast majority of those who lose weight with the help of a diet after finishing it gain the same or even more weight. Therefore, those who want to lose weight without compromising their health need to figure out how to eat properly for weight loss at home.
Causes leading to excess weight
Before you start following a strict diet, you need to analyze the reasons that led to the appearance of excess weight. Quite often, the reason for changes in figure is pathological laziness and love for fatty and unhealthy foods.
But, in some cases, rapid weight gain is associated with the development of a disease. And then refusing to eat will only worsen the problem. Therefore, the first step of anyone who wants to start losing weight should be a visit to the doctor. Only then can you begin activities that are designed to burn unwanted fat deposits.
Most often, women recover after:
- severe stress. Nervous excitement triggers processes in the body that increase appetite several times. Many ladies, after another quarrel with a loved one or problems at work, relieve stress with chocolate, ice cream, cake or other sweets. All these foods contribute to the release of the so-called “joy hormone”, as a result the mood improves somewhat, but irreparable harm is caused to the figure;
- disruption of the hormonal system. Such disorders very often lead to weight fluctuations. In some cases, sudden weight loss occurs, but most often the woman’s body weight increases significantly. It will be possible to lose weight in such pathologies only after normalization of hormonal levels;
- pregnancy and lactation are also associated with hormonal changes. If a woman watches her diet, does not overeat and eats healthy foods, then the weight returns to normal some time after the baby stops breastfeeding;
- Elevated insulin levels also cause fat deposits to form. It also prevents the destruction of fat cells in the body. Therefore, people with diabetes are very often overweight. Once insulin levels are normalized, you can begin to fight excess fat. You can do this without taking medications or other means using a low-carbohydrate diet.
After analyzing your health, lifestyle and eating habits, you need to find the reason that contributes to the accumulation of excess subcutaneous fat.
Only after its elimination can you begin to fight excess weight, otherwise the long-awaited weight loss will not happen.
What should you eat to lose weight?
A healthy diet throughout the day should provide the body with a complete complex of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins. Their number should be sufficient for normal life. This distinguishes a rational diet from diets that limit the intake of certain substances. Diets disrupt the balance of nutrients the body needs.
The best thing you can do to lose weight without exercise at home is to organize proper nutrition during the day .
How to eat while losing weight - recommendations from Galina Grossmann.
Articles on our site are devoted to Dr. Grossman’s effective weight loss method. The method does not require studying scientific foundations. It is easy to learn and easy to use on your own at home. Let's briefly look at Galina Nikolaevna Grossman's original approach to answering the question - How to start eating right and losing weight from scratch.
Here's how she expresses her basic principle for solving the problem of losing weight:
“To lose weight, gain excellent health, natural beauty, you don’t need to torture yourself with anything: neither dietary restrictions, nor physical activity, nor emotional distress. You can't punish yourself while losing weight. You need to treat yourself with love and tenderness. For this, you will receive beauty and health from your body.”
How to eat while losing weight? What should you eat to lose weight?
For more detailed answers to these questions, read the article “Basics of Natural Nutrition.” Here we will give Dr. Grossmann's recommendations on how to properly prepare your own lunch.
First, you need to take care of the regime. Many people neglect it, but yet it brings great health benefits. If we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time of day, the digestive system will be accustomed to secrete the necessary juices and enzymes at the set time to completely digest the food received. (We recall from the school course Pavlov’s experiments on the conditioned reflex). As a result, we will eat less, but receive a full range of nutrients necessary for life. The amount of calories consumed will decrease, and body weight will begin to gradually decrease.
About lunch.
From 12 to 15 o'clock in the afternoon, our body most productively produces digestive enzymes that break down incoming food. This period of time is favorable for complete digestion and absorption of food. Therefore, the time period from 12 to 15 hours is most suitable for taking a full, healthy lunch. The food eaten at this time will not bring us extra pounds, but will deliver all the necessary nutrients, microelements, and vitamins.
About carbohydrates.
A healthy lunch should contain a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, although you can often hear the opposite opinion. Healthy, slowly digestible carbohydrates are found in cereals, pasta, whole grain bread, and potatoes (in small quantities). Such carbohydrates are beneficial for the body. They fill the body with energy for a long time, quickly satisfy hunger, and give us strength and vigor.
About squirrels.
G.N. Grossmann recommends adding proteins to your lunch ration. To saturate the body with proteins, you need to supplement your lunch with lean varieties of meat, fish, and poultry. It is better to bake them or boil them in water. The quantity of these products should not exceed two hundred grams per serving. The need for proteins can be met with low-fat cottage cheese and chicken eggs.
Attention! When preparing food, do not add a lot of salt and sugar! Grossman recommends using substitutes: soy sauce instead of salt, prunes, dried apricots instead of sweet candies.
About fats.
Hot soup is the best dish for lunch in the cold autumn and winter! On hot summer days, it is preferable to refresh yourself with cold soups and okroshka. Foods fried in fat, including meat, will not bring any benefit. The soup can be flavored with vegetable oil. A healthy lunch should not contain solid fats of animal origin.
About side dishes.
What's lunch without a side dish? Despite the widespread opinion about separate meals, the doctor recommends adding tasty, healthy side dishes to your healthy weight loss lunch. She suggests preparing side dishes using legume grains (chickpeas, lentils, mung bean), various cereals (buckwheat, rice, oats). The side dish can be flavored with a small amount of butter.
Delicious healthy food from Grossman will help you lose weight without straining your mental and physical strength. You can find detailed recipes for healthy eating in the free lessons of G.N. Grossmann.
How to drink water correctly to lose weight.
A rational drinking regime is something that we must pay close attention to if we want to lose weight without exercise. Pure drinking water cleanses all corners of our body, renews intercellular fluid, and thins the blood. It flushes the kidneys, removes accumulated toxins, and keeps the body in great shape. A person who is losing weight must drink as much pure drinking water as possible (from 1.5 liters for a woman of average build), replacing soda and high-calorie fruit juice from the store with it. This will significantly reduce your daily calorie intake.
Store-bought sweet carbonated drinks and fruit juices can easily be replaced with a healthy homemade drink. You need to dissolve a spoonful of honey in lemon water. The resulting drink is much healthier and tastier than various Sprites and Coca-Call.
By overcoming our dependence on sugary drinks from the store and replacing them with clean water, we can reduce our calorie intake by about 300 to 400 units. This approach will allow you to lose weight in your stomach, arms, legs, and lose weight by 7–8 kg without taking additional measures to lose weight.
Galina Grossmann advises replacing black tea of various varieties with green tea. Green tea, in synergy with drinking plenty of clean water, speeds up metabolism, causes fat to burn, and burns excess calories.
