Oh what a dream to be able to loose weight without having to go the gym and perform rigorous exercises. Well, that is possible! By adapting a few lifestyle changes in your routine, you can loose those inches and fit into your desired clothes. Although, in the end, moderate moderate cardiovascular exercises are always recommended for a healthy body.
But if you are someone who does not want to step out in the sun or overly polluted neighborhoods for exercise, here are a few hacks to reduce weight effortlessly! Remember, not only what you eat but also how and when you eat your meals is also a key contributor in your weight loss journey.
Khushboo Jain Tibrewala, a renowned nutritionist from Mumbai shared a few tips to reduce weight without having to go the gym.
Hydration can do wonders
Drinking enough water helps regulate appetite and metabolism, preventing unnecessary snacking that often stems from dehydration. Aim for 10-12 glasses a day to stay hydrated and support your body’s natural fat-burning processes.
Eat before sunset
With longer daylight hours, it’s easier to finish dinner by 7:00-7:30 PM. Eating before sunset aligns with the body’s natural rhythm, supporting better digestion and metabolic efficiency. This simple shift can improve nutrient absorption and prevent sluggish digestion at night.
Walk for 15 minutes after every meal
A short walk after meals helps regulate blood sugar spikes, improves digestion, and reduces bloating. Research shows that light activity post-meal enhances insulin sensitivity, making this one of the simplest yet most powerful lifestyle changes for weight management.
Go local with your food
Summer brings a variety of seasonal fruits like jamun, phalsa, karonda, and tadgola. These are packed with antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. Regular consumption lowers inflammation in the body, which can naturally support weight loss and improve overall metabolic function.
Avoid sugary beverages
Traditional summer drinks like rose sherbet, bel juice, kokum sherbet, and aerated beverages may be refreshing but are often high in sugar. Opting for healthier alternatives like coconut water, buttermilk, and jaljeera—or making unsweetened versions of your favorites—can help you stay cool without excess calories.
