Once upon a time, people didn’t go on a diet , and they were thinner than they are now.
But they ate more than now. More than one study has recently come out which, by analyzing direct evidence and not consumption estimates, has dispelled the myth that once upon a time people ate less in industrialized countries.

Of course, now we are all more sedentary, and we have a different diet than in the past, but paradoxically once we ate even more. It was the calories that were different.
We ate more food, but less industrial food and “rich” in fats and sugars, we cooked more at home, and in general, by doing fewer diets, we avoided all those metabolism problems that we are experiencing now.

Think about how you were before going on a diet and how you are now, and do it if you have been on the first diet for at least ten or fifteen years.
How many of you can say that you have permanently lost weight? 
According to the data we have available, only 5-10 percent of us. The others, 90 percent of us, would have done better NOT to ever go on a diet.

This is why an undefeated road, which you may not have considered yet but can change your life, is to throw the scales and follow a NON diet, for at least six months / a year.

And here’s mine, which is based on some experiences of obese ex who changed their lives for the better without losing their minds behind restrictive and low-calorie diets.
These are 5 rules that statistically made those who followed them lose weight without a diet, albeit very slowly.

NOT DIET TO LOSE WEIGHT

1. Eat as natural as possible : no industrial and processed foods of any kind, but whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, potatoes, cheeses, nuts in moderation, oil, butter, coconut oil and lard, honey instead of each sugar. Among the whole grains, quality pasta and local wheat are also allowed.
2. Eat. Avoid calorie and macronutrient restrictions.
   It doesn’t matter if you’ve convinced yourself that gluten is bad or that meat makes you sick. If you are not celiac and don’t eat meat every day, you don’t have to worry.
3. Find a good gym. Physical activity and a good training plan are essential for losing weight. As we get older, metabolism drops as we lose lean mass.
4. Alternate carbohydrates: do not eat pasta and bread every day. There are many other carbohydrate sources, starting with potatoes, brown rice, legumes, polenta and whole grains. Healthy eating is varied. Here are 5 types of carbohydrates that make you lose weight. 
5. Avoid stress: don’t diet, don’t always and only think about food, heal your body by looking in the mirror rather than weighing yourself, focus on nourishment, trying to nourish yourself enough and eating when you are hungry, even if you are 100 times hungry.
   It is the slower way to lose weight, but the body will pay you back in time, a higher metabolism, better digestion, while the extra pounds will slowly leave you.
