CNN has  published a list of good habits to lose weight quickly and easily, without a particular diet. In fact, it will be enough to enrich our daily life with these habits to start losing weight effortlessly and quickly, especially since there will be no real diet to follow.

I know many of you think that the fastest and easiest way to lose weight is to go on any weight loss diet.

But the fact that you gain weight again and that it is very frustrating to see the weight return after various food sacrifices should have taught you something over the years.

This is confirmed by many stories of former obese people who did not devote themselves to the holy diet to lose weight, but have finally started to follow the good intentions they had set for themselves.

In short, the road to achieving a healthy weight can be much less struggling and sacrificing if, instead of dieting, we adopt a healthier lifestyle. Why don’t you try?

10 EASY HABITS TO LOSE WEIGHT QUICKLY

1. Don’t skip meals anymore.
   In general, a good rule of thumb to ensure that the body sheds its excess pounds is not to starve it, by skipping meals or by fasting. But satisfy the sense of hunger. For this reason it is very important not to skip meals and also eat between a main meal or another if we feel the need. Or the metabolism slows down.
2. Train for half an hour a day.
   It doesn’t take much longer to keep fit and is a handy pattern for those short on time. Half an hour a day every day except one rest, is a great way to train quickly. Do you think this is not enough? Work your muscle groups intermittently: arms and pectorals one day, stomach and legs the next. All you need is a mat, a chair or a medicine ball, some kilo weights, a pinch of good will.
3. Go for natural food.
   Avoid carbonated drinks and any industrial and prepared food, such as biscuits, snacks, ready-made soups, frozen foods.
4. Eat the easy way.
   Think about making food as simple as possible on weekdays, reserving one or two more elaborate recipes for Sunday. Roasted meat and fish with sautéed vegetables, omelettes, salads, simple pasta and vegetable or legume dishes for lunch, a slice of homemade cake for breakfast. Your metabolism will improve as will your digestion.
5. Don’t sit when you can stand up. Standing burns more calories. Sit only when necessary.
6. Get enough sleep: at least 7/8 hours of sleep a day improves metabolism and reduces stress that affects weight loss.
7. Use weekends for rest and health: use a few hours on Saturdays and Sundays to prepare meals for the week, for example by cooking rice or legumes and freezing them, cleaning vegetables, cooking some dishes in advance. And otherwise relax.
8. What ready meals? Let’s say you have little time to cook. Better to make a salad and order a spit-roasted chicken than to order a pizza.
   Today the offer of meals to order in restaurants and takeaways has greatly expanded, so it is also easy to order (for example with the Just Eat) complete dishes such as cereals, vegetables, stews, compared to the usual Chinese or the usual pizza.
9. Eat more fiber: Eating 30-35 grams of fiber per day has been shown to help you lose weight.
10. Make healthy snacks: A raw fruit or carrot are great alternatives to bars, snacks, sandwiches.
