Are there any ways to lose weight without counting calories?

Georgie Fear, an American personal trainer with an enviable shape and expert in nutrition, teaches people to reach their target weight by acquiring one good habit at a time, rather than completely turning their life upside down.

This allows its clients to lose weight and maintain it, learning how to eat properly, in a society where being thin and athletic and fit is considered everyone’s desire, but where only 5% of the population can achieve it in a stable and definitive way. this desire.

Georgie Fear recently explained how you can lose weight without counting calories and going crazy behind portions, disposable diets, tipping the scales, a social life reduced to the bone because we don’t feel comfortable with others. .

Why are calories not important for weight loss?

Not because they don’t exist. Because counting calories (or macronutrients) is stressful for people and takes them away from a natural and instinctive approach to food. A relationship that should be regulated according to the senses of hunger / satiety.
According to Fear, it is this approach that must be re-established if we are to lose weight.
While if we think of food in terms of calories we will tend to have more and more hunger and less and less control over hunger.

4 WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT COUNTING CALORIES

1. Eat when you are hungry.
   One of the most common things for people who gain weight is to eat when they are not really hungry, resulting in finding themselves eating both when they are hungry and when they are not. You know when your stomach rumbles and you have a languor? Here, eat a moment before you get to that point. But here’s what hunger is.
2. Let’s focus on why we eat.
   Are we always hungry or do we eat out of boredom, to distract us from a bad day, because we are at the restaurant, because we don’t know what else to do in front of the TV? We try to eat at fixed times, trying to vary them even by just 15 minutes if we are not really hungry but we do it only out of habit.
3. Limit industrial foods.
   Very often we choose to eat ready-made foods at the supermarket or otherwise artificially processed: breaded foods, packaged foods, sauces and condiments, ice cream and frozen foods, canned soups or canned foods. None of this is healthy, at most it can limit the time spent in front of the stove, but it increases our line problems.
   The more natural the food, the more we tend to lose weight because our diet will be healthy
4. Stop eating when full.
   Often even the extra bite reduces our sense of satiety, which at the hormonal level translates into greater resistance to leptin, the satiety hormone.
5. Eat only with main meals.
   Georgie explains that eating satisfyingly and as naturally as possible (yes whole foods, whole grains, meats, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and legumes, whole milk, low-fat cheeses, nuts and seeds, no to packaged foods) three times a day reduces nervous hunger and consequently the temptation to snack. Snacking is often an excuse to eat sweets, but if we have eaten satisfactorily at lunch and dinner we will be less hungry between meals.
