5 Ways to Lose Weight Without Even Trying

#1 Go Ahead and Fidget A study included in a 2005 edition of the journal Science found that people who fidgeted burned an extra 350 calories per day, and they tended to be leaner than those who did not fidget. Burning an extra 350 calories per day can result in considerable weight loss; in fact, if you burn an extra 350 calories per day, you will be one pound lighter after just 10 days. To burn more calories by fidgeting, pace around the house while you talk on the phone, or walk across the office to speak to co-workers instead of sending emails to communicate.

#2 Enjoy a Cup of Coffee, or Two Drinking a cup of coffee in the morning may help you lose weight. A 2011 review published in the journal Gastroenterology Research and Practice found that individuals who were given green coffee extract lost significantly more weight than those in a control group. Specifically, those who were given the green coffee extract lost about 5 pounds more than those in the control group did.
#3 Increase Your Protein Consumption Adding more protein to your diet may promote weight loss. A 2011 study published in the Nutrition Journal showed that women who consumed a high protein diet lost more weight and more body fat than those who consumed a diet high in carbohydrates and fiber. The authors of a study published in 2008 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have suggested that protein consumption aids weight loss by increasing satiation. Eat more eggs, nuts, and lean meat to add protein to your diet.

 #4 Take the Stairs You can incinerate calories by climbing up a flight of stairs. In fact, according to Shape magazine, one minute of stair climbing burns 10 calories. If you can spare just 10 minutes a day for a stair-climbing workout, you will blast away 100 calories in almost no time!

 #5 Sip a Glass of Water Effortlessly increase your weight loss by drinking water. A 2012 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that study participants who replaced caloric drinks like soda with non-caloric drinks like water enjoyed a 2 percent to 2.5 percent weight loss.
