Why Weight

How to Lose Weight Without Exercising

By Ann G Brown

Most people will tell you that in order to lose weight, you need 2 things: diet & exercise. That's the standard line. However, its not true. Although it may not be the best idea, it is totally possible to lose weight without exercising.

Do the math.

It all comes down to simple math. You need to burn more calories than you consume. If you create a calorie deficit, you will lose weight without even exercising. For example if you expend or burn 1700-calories each day ,then you need to take in less than that amount to see results.

Calorie-Counting on Steroids

Many well- known diet plans are built on this very premise. Take Nutrisytem for example. The entire premise of that program is forced calorie counting. They send you pre-packaged foods for breakfast, lunch,dinner and snacks. You do not have to worry about counting calories. If you don't eat anything other than their prescribed menu, you will lose weight without exercising. How do I know? My husband and I tried the program. I knew my husband wasn't going to exercise so when I called to order Nutrisystem, I specifically asked," Is there any exercise required?" I was told that although it was beneficial, it was not necessary and that we could still lose the weight without exercising at all. The phone representative did suggest that exercise would speed up the results, but it was not a part of the program.

So what sorts of results did we achieve. Well, I think in about 2 months, I lost 4 pounds. But that's because the food really sucks. I just couldn't bring myself to eat it. My husband on the other hand lost 17 lbs his first month. I guess his palate is not as sophisticated as mine--and he never set foot inside the gym.

Nutrisystem is but one program that focuses on calorie control that works. Weight Watchers assigns points to foods, but essentially works the same way. Many people just use a simple notepad and keep track of their caloric intake.

The choice is yours

No matter which program you choose, the bottom line is the same, if you follow a strict diet, and create a caloric deficit you will lose weight without a single trip to the gym. However, exercise and Diet together are the 1-2 punch of weight loss. If you merely counted calories with little to no exercise , you would end up a smaller version of yourself. No leaner, no shaplier , just smaller.
