Slimming blog
Slimming blog about losing weight without a diet, packed with valuable tips to lose weight responsibly and effectively. Because yes, that is indeed possible!
Whatever diet you choose, the main thing is to take in fewer calories than you burn, and the willpower to keep it up is mostly in your own head.
If you only practice eating a hamburger and mayo peanut fries every day, you will also lose weight. And if you only shove a hair salon under your nose every day, too. Voilá: the hair salon diet! It's just that you will then lack important nutrients and end up getting sick. So that is not the point.
So, if losing weight is just about taking in fewer calories than you burn, this can be done just fine with regular healthy foods from the Dishes of Five.
After all, the right carbohydrates, protein, fibre and a little fat have never made anyone fat. It is when you eat too much of these and take in more calories than you burn. As I did.
Besides, my slimming method wouldn't be my slimming method if I didn't also add a creative psychological touch to it. After all, losing weight starts in your head!
Nothing succeeds without our own willpower. The slimming blog on slimming down without a diet will therefore focus a lot on this.
The nutrition charts in this weight-loss blog have been approved by a GP, a dietician and a personal trainer.
