Following a regular diet followed by a strict exercise regimen can be difficult and not easy to stick to it, since our modern-day routine demands flexibility, and… flexibility is not so good for routine. So people are usually looking for ways how to avoid one of the two, or both in order to lose weight. And what if we tell you that it is possible? Sounds too good to be true?

Natural ways and routine
Chewing
Chew slowly. It gives your brain enough time to figure out how much food you took on that brunch during a work break. You will trick yourself that you are stuffed, and you will even take less food than usual. This is confirmed by science. 2015 study proved that those who eat slowly tend to gain less weight than those who don’t.
Protein
In case you like fish, chicken breasts, eggs and almond then you are a lucky person. Food rich in protein and fiber makes you want to intake fewer calories per meal if you make protein-rich food 30% of your intake (in calories). That can make you lose 10 pounds in up to 3 months. Hormones Ghrelin and GLP-1 are in charge of your feelings for hunger and satiety, and they can be affected by proteins. Whereas fiber-rich food such as Dr Natura makes you feel satiated for a longer period of time, and that includes beans, oats, and flax seeds

Water
If drinking water is only to satisfy your daily H2O needs, for about what you’re going to hear, you better dig a well. Overall consumption is good throughout the whole day, for rehydrating your body and to keep it running smoothly. But, drinking half a liter of water, 30 minutes before each meal, minimize your consumption and hunger, and helps in digesting it. Subjects following the rule lost more weight (around 40%) in 3 months than those who didn’t. This rule is only for water of course. Drinking beer and other alcohol, especially in combination with sugar, like margaritas will make you gain weight. So choose some healthy options, like teas and homemade fruit juices.
Take your time
We know this is a tough one, but stress and a lack of sleep are one of the main preconditions for obesity. That is because two of those affect your hormones. If you don’t sleep 6-8 hours a day, it will affect Ghrelin (already mentioned above) and Leptin, which controls your appetite. Stress produces more cortisol than usual, so your body will find solace in the food to restore hormonal balance. Take your time, sleep, meditate, or, what will be discussed in the next paragraph, hit the gym
Exercise
Exercising is important, no matter if you want to lose weight or to look good, it’s healthy. Exercise pulls fat and glucose stored in your body, and no, it will not want to make you eat more, it will actually make your blood glucose level even, so you’ll eat only the amount you need. In conclusion, you will lose weight more easily, and keep it from coming back. In addition, you will earn more self-esteem, feel better in the morning and look great!

Supplements
HCG drops
It stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, which is a natural hormone produced during pregnancy and makes you lose weight. So, the trick is, there are a lot of HCGs on the market, but if you want to buy real HCG drops you should definitely check HCG Triumph, which is FDA approved.
Garcinia Cambogia Extract
It increases levels of serotonin, regulating your “cravings.”
Caffeine
Well it’s addictive, and it disturbs your sleeping pattern, so pay attention. It will boost your metabolism by up to 10%. It can be found in dark chocolate, coffee, and green tea but you can get pills like Fitness Labs and Prolab.
