7 tips: lose 10 kilos in 5 weeks (without exercising)

In this article you will find 7 top weight loss tips that will help you lose up to 10 kilos in 5 weeks. If you are more or less than 10 kilos overweight, I still recommend that you read this article.

Losing 10 pounds is not nearly as difficult as many people think. It certainly does not happen automatically, you have to do something for it. But if you follow the tips from this article, chances are that you will succeed too.

Weight loss tips: diet or exercise?
Ultimately, losing weight means consuming fewer calories than you burn.

And a calorie is a calorie you would say. Whether you burn it extra or consume less is not that important. Hmm… yes and no.

Yes, because that is how it works on the surface. But no, because your body is also a bit more complex.

Exercise is very healthy for you, and we recommend that you do a lot. But when it comes to losing weight, we see in our practice that what you eat (your diet) has an influence on your weight about 70%, and other factors (such as exercise, sleep and relaxation) about 30%.

Nutrition is therefore more important than exercise if you want to lose 10 kilos.

Eating to lose weight
We eat to get energy. You need this energy to be able to move and survive. You can receive energy in three ways. Via carbohydrates, via proteins and via fats. Each of these energy sources is digested differently in your body.

The different digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats affects the speed of your fat burning and ultimately your body weight.

Carbohydrates ensure a difficult fat burning process, which makes it easier for you to gain weight.

While fats and proteins can actually facilitate fat burning, mainly because they keep you feeling full for longer.

Difficult to lose 10 kilos with carbohydrates
Examples of carbohydrates are sugar, grains, starch, lactose and alcohol. All carbohydrates are converted in your body into simple sugars (monosaccharides: glucose and fructose).

The absorption of glucose into your blood causes your insulin level to rise. Due to the high insulin level, the enzyme that can burn body fat (Hormone-Sensitive Lipase, HSL) is blocked.

Carbohydrates therefore make it very difficult for you to burn your body fat. You can run or exercise as much as you want, but as long as you eat carbohydrates, you will have a very hard time burning body fat.

Easily lose 10 kilos with proteins and healthy fats
Proteins and (healthy) fats do not ensure that your insulin level rises so quickly and so high. This makes it possible to burn body fat.

Examples of foods with a lot of protein and healthy fats are: fish, meat, egg, nuts, seeds, seeds, natural oils and some vegetables. If you eat these foods and burn more energy than you take in, you will immediately burn body fat.

This is of course a simplification of your very complex digestion. In reality, there are thousands of substances, hormones and enzymes involved in this process. If you want to know more about this, I advise you to read my article Losing weight: the deepening.

There is no need to understand exactly how your body works to lose 10 pounds. The only thing to remember is: carbohydrates make you fatter; proteins and healthy fats help you lose weight.

One more note about proteins. Proteins stimulate growth in your body, but growth means aging. Too many proteins have been shown in several studies to shorten the lifespan. Proteins are very healthy and you really need them, but don’t overeat them.

Eat few carbohydrates, enough (but not too much) protein and lots of healthy fats. The tips below will help you a lot with this.

The 7 top best weight loss tips
If you follow the tips below, you can lose up to 10 kilos in 5 weeks.

Tip 1: cook yourself
Tip 2: do not get sugar and grains at home
Tip 3: learn to juice
Tip 4: snack raw
Tip 5: only weigh once a week
Tip 6: inform friends and colleagues
Tip 7: start immediately
Tip 1: cook yourself. By that I actually mean “prepare your own food”, because of course you don’t always have to cook your food. By preparing your own food you have control over what goes into it. This means that it is also best to make sauces yourself.

If you do decide to go out for dinner, make sure you choose a dish with lots of vegetables and low-carbohydrate foods such as potatoes, rice, pasta and fries.
