The 'No Diet' Diet - An Easier Lifestyle Change 

If you want to lose weight and feel better about yourself, dont start any fad diets. Its not 
easy to avoid looking at the amazing bodies youre seeing all over social media thanks 
to those fad diets and those fad weight loss trends, but theyre not long lasting. As much 
as you might want to lose 20 pounds in one week, remember you need to be able to 
keep that weight off for good just as you need to get it off to begin with. Fad diets dont 
work because they want you to do unrealistic things to your body. 

You might be able to give up carbs altogether for a week or two, but can you avoid them 
the rest of your life? No, you cant. You can change your life and your body by skipping 
the diets and simply changing your lifestyle. Its not about depriving your body. Its about 
giving your body what it needs, and its about occasionally giving your body what it 
wants. You will find your body begins to crave different items and feel different once you 
make healthy lifestyle changes. 

Go the 80/20 Route 

You dont want to deprive yourself of things you love, so learn to love them in 
moderation. If you love pizza, why not have it? As long as 80 percent of your meals are 
as healthy as can be, there is no reason you cant allow yourself a 20 percent 
indulgence each week. Eat the donut on Tuesday morning, and then eat well the rest of 
the day. You can still have what you want if you remember to have it in moderation. 

Make Smaller Plates

If you want to eat better and make healthy lifestyle changes, find a smaller plate. Your 
body thinks youre eating more when you put food on a smaller plate because it looks 
fuller. Your mind tells your body its full even if its less food than you normally eat. 
Moderation and smaller servings are life-changing when you want to make positive 
lifestyle changes. 

Make Your Favorites a Bit Healthier 

Do you love tacos? Why not skip the ground beef and stick some baked chicken shreds 
in your taco? Add some avocado, mango, a little cilantro, and some lime juice over the 
top for a healthy and delicious taco alternative. If you love cheeseburgers, eat them with 
ground turkey rather than ground beef and wrap them in romaine instead of buns. You 
just made a delicious meal much healthier and still as delicious. 

The best way to lose weight is to skip diets and just eat better. Eat more fruits and 
vegetables. Stop buying junk food. Skip the chips and have a cucumber instead. Try 
this for one month and see if your body stops craving things like donuts and fast food. 
See how you feel when you do give in and have something unhealthy. Your body will 
probably leave you feeling lethargic and gross, and you might just find yourself craving 
something healthy.
