Can You Lose Weight Without Exercise? (Yes…But only if you do this)

There is a false misconception that you must spend hours in the gym, doing nonstop cardio to lose weight.

But I’m here to tell you that’s not true at all. As a matter of fact, you can lose weight without doing any exercise at all.

How is that possible you ask?

Well the formula to lose weight is really quite simple. As long as you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight.

So now the question is how do you make sure you are burning more calories than you are consuming?

The key is to adjust your diet.

You can’t continue eating the same way you are right now and expect to lose weight without any exercise.

To better explain this concept, let’s say you are a 40 something year hold woman who is 5'5′, weighs 250 pounds, and lives a sedentary lifestyle.

The first thing you will need to do is figure out your maintenance calories. This is the number of calories you need to eat per day to maintain your current weight.

This can be done using this calculator.

A 250 pound woman who lives a sedentary lifestyle will need to eat around 1,985 calories per day to maintain her weight.

But as you know, the goal isn’t to maintain, its to lose.

So all you need to do is adjust the number of calories you are eating per day. Instead of consuming 1,985 calories per day, drop it down to 1,787 calories per day.

Just doing that will help you start losing a couple a pounds a month without doing any exercise.

Maximize Your Results With HIIT

If you want to supercharge your fat loss, which most people do, then you will need to start exercising.

But don’t worry. There is no need to spend hours in the gym to get a great body.
