8 Ways to Lose Weight Without Dieting or Exercise (like sex& sleep)

Want to lose weight without going to the gym? Take advantage of som e of

lifes greatest (and surprisingly fat burning) pleasures like sleep, sex,

acupuncture, laughter, and jus t breathing deeplyno diet, no sweat.

1. Lose Weight by Having Sex

Sex is a great way to lose weight. In fact, the average sex session burns

150 to 250 calories per half hourdepending on how athletic your sex

tends to be. Dr. Laura Berman, PhD, LCSW, a clinical ass istant professor

of obstetrics-gynecology and psychiatry at the Feinberg School of

Medicine of Northwestern University in Chicago, and director of the

Berman Center has said that sex is definitely a good workout even if you

arent extremely acrobatic, as sex naturally gets your heart rate up, which

in turn improves circulation and burns calories and fat. By practicing

positions other than just mis sionary, you are also engaging different

muscle groups, so it can be both a cardio and toning exercise.

2. Lose Weight with Acupuncture andHerbs

The point of acupuncture is to balance specific organ systems in the promotion of a healthy body. But more than

tonifying the blood and keeping the Qi in check, acupuncture has been used for centuries to regulate weight by

helping with m etabolism and energy production. According to acupuncturist Douglas Eisenstark L.Ac., who has

served as a Clinic Supervisor at Emperors College and Yo-San University, Weight loss is a part of the middle

burner or the spleen, s tomach and liver organ systems of Chines e Medicine. Focusing on those m eridians

address digestion and the clearing, which are also related to stressa common cause of overeating. In

conjunction with the acupuncture, herbs are a vital part of Chinese Medicine. Doug doesnt jus t put his patients on

an across the board weight loss formula since the impetus for weight gain is different for each person. Weight

loss formulas generally help in digestion. However, there are different formulas for different conditions and each

case is different. One should see an experienced Chinese herbalist to get a proper formula.

3. Lose Weight by Sleeping

Sleep is more than just a pretty-making mechanism. While you get your beauty rest, your body is working away to

regulate your systems and heal any damage done from daily wear and tear. More than the necessary mending,

your digestive system is also pum ping hard to process your food, metabolizing carbohydrates and breaking down

fats. Some studies have linked sleep deprivation to weight problems, with the likely culprit being changes in

hormone levelscortisol and insulin in particular. Cortisols main res ponsibility is the regulation of sugar, protein,

fat, mineral and water metabolism . When physical or emotional s tress throws us out of whack, cortisol reacts by

pumping up the produced levels. Sleep deprivation also triggers cortisol production. Insulin is in charge of blood

sugar and fat s torage. Sleep deprivation has been linked to increased levels of insulin, which m akes weight loss

more challenging. Bottom line: unless you want your bottom to continue to expand, treat yourself to a good night

sleep nightly.

4. Lose Weight by Getting a Massage

Massage improves circulation, helping in the interchange of oxygen and nutrients between the blood and tissue

cells which increases muscle recovery and strengthening. More than mus cle, mass age is believed to be able to

move toxins and water weight from the body as well as burst fat cells, forcing them to be absorbed away instead

of bunching up on your thighs. More than releasing water weight and breaking down fat cells, according to

reflexology there are certain pressure points on the feet that can stimulate the metabolism and encourage weight

loss.

5. Lose Weight by Volunteering

Whether youre collecting trash along the oceans shore, helping out at a retirement home, or walking s helter

dogs, volunteering is undoubtedly a great green activity that lets you get out of your box and do something for


3/4

someone other than yourself. Now, more than a do-good purs uit, you might als o be able to m ake your contribution

a multi-tasking activity, especially when it comes to hanging out with res cue pups. Res earch from the University of

Missouri at Columbia showed that volunteers who walked shelter dogs for an hour a week also lost weight

about 12 pounds a year. Up your dog walking activity to 20 minutes a day for five days a week and the average

weight loss goes up to 14 pounds a year! Volunteering at a shelter is, s ure, great for the dogs, but its great for

your mind and body too. Some s tudies have shown that about 70% of people who com mit to those weekly walks

keep it up long term (and often stay longer than an hour) which is a much high rate of return than any average

exercise program. Not sure that dog walking is your cup of tea? Determine your volunteer personality then make

sure to incorporate an active angle, like walking along a local trail picking up trash or preparing food at a

neighborhood food bank. The great news is, even if you dont lose weight, you know youve done your part to help

the environment or another person today.

6. Lose Weight with Spice

If you want to start shedding pounds tonight, toss an extra clove of garlic into your crock pot. The Endocrine

Societys annual meeting in San Francisco s howed that spicing up your meals with garlic and pepper can help

curb overeating. Research revealed that overweight people who added extra calorie-free and salt-free flavors to

their meals lost an average of 30 pounds in six months. Alan Hirsch, M.D., founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment

and Research Foundation in Chicago says that The flavors m ade people focus on the sensory characteristics of

the food its sm ell and taste. When foods are m ore enjoyable, eaters tend to feel fuller faster and therefore

arent tempted to overeat. A few spices to try: onions, garlic, hot peppers, and horseradish. A note: try to skip the

salt which promotes water weight gainit may not be fat, but the swell sure m akes it seem like it.

7. Lose Weight with every Breath you Take

We couldnt live if we didnt breathe. The question is: Are you reaping all of the rewards of your breath? Breathing

correctly can actually help you to lose weight. Problem isfew people do. Scientists from the University of New

Mexico in Albuquerque found that women who relaxed in m editation class once a week lost an average of 4 lbs a

month. Billy Blanks Jr. who helps thousands lose weight with his Dance with Me classes and DVDs believes

that breath is one of the best no-equipment necess ary, easy green exercises that so many people do incorrectly.

Singers breathe correctly. Billy says, It is the kind of breath that you are supposed to do in daily life. Its called

diaphragmatic breathing in through your nose and out through mouth. As you breathe in your stomach is filled

with the maximum amount of oxygen and so your stomach expands and goes out. When you exhale your stomach

goes in. It makes sense when you think about it, but its oppos ite of how the average person breathes. Full deep

diaphragmatic breathing actually burns m ore calories and helps to tone your abs because you are actively using

the muscles in your core over and over again all day long. It also delivers more oxygen to your blood and muscles,

allowing you to workout harder and longer. Not sure if youre doing it right? Billy suggests that you lay on your

back. When we lay on our backs we naturally breathe correctly. Place your hand on your stomach and naturally

inhale, watching your belly and your hand raise up. The slightly open your mouth and slowly, with control exhale.

The goal is to exhale for 35 counts. Once you mas ter it, diaphragmatic breathing becomes second nature.

8. Lose Weight with Laughter

Laughter really may be the best m edicine. Not only does it calm the nerves, improve the imm une system, and

break the ice, but it also burns calories . Yes, a good giggle provides a natural cardiovascular workout for your

insides, by increasing your heart rate and circulation, and toning your abdominal muscles. Dr. William Fry of

Stanford University says, Laughing heartily five times a day has the s ame beneficial effects as ten minutes on a

rowing machine. Whats m ore? 10-15 minutes of s olid laughter can burn 50 calories which can translate to 4.4

pounds in a year hey, every little bit counts!
