If you want to lose weight but don't want to go on a diet then there are a few lifestyle changes you can make which can slowly get the ball rolling and the rolls disappearing!

1. Increase your water intake. By increasing your water intake you take some of the strain off of the liver which is trying to keep up with processing the fat in our bodies. The intake of water also flushes out the old liquid retained in our bodies. Water is an all over cleanser for the body, including the skin which will feel and look better after a few days of increased water intake. You should be drinking about 8 glasses of water a day to keep your system running smoothly and to lose weight without going on a diet.

2. Weight lose starts with the food you eat at home. You are the one who buys the food in your cupboards, so simply don't buy the junk if you want to lose weight. It is very hard to walk past the treats we have become accustomed to in the supermarket, but if you can resist buying them they won't be there to eat in the middle of the night. Consider this; by buying the junk you are basically saying that you plan to eat it. Don't use the excuse that it is for the rest of the household, as they can and should live without junk too. You choose to lose weight every time you walk past the junk in the supermarket.

3. Emphasis health when you eat, not diet or weight loss. If you were eating healthily you would automatically be eating fewer calories and losing weight, as healthy eating means fruit, vegetables and more whole grain and whole wheat products. Try starting with brown sugar, and decide to eat at least 3 fruits a day. Don't eat a hot meal without a vegetable if you want to be healthy and lose weight.

4. To lose weight switch to low fat in everything you buy. You can choose 1% fat in your dairy products. This alone cuts calories dramatically, try reading the labels before you buy and the ridiculous difference in calories between 5% and 1% dairy products will make you realize how many calories you can avoid just by making this simple switch. A latte with 1% fat milk is about half the calories as a standard latte and this alone could be the item which has kept you fat and prevented your weight loss.

5. Buy tuna in water instead of oil. Again look at the labels and you will see that the calories you can avoid make the choice an easy one, why have all those extra calories when the taste is almost the same. Weight loss is due to taking in less calories that you use, so decrease your calorie intake at every opportunity to aid your weight loss.

6. You can still taste whatever you want and lose weight, but just a taste not the whole cake! As you taste a pinch of the cake or a spoonful of the ice cream have the thought that you are not denying yourself because you have tasted it, and that is all you wanted to do, to taste. That way when people offer you a slice of cake you can take a small one then have one bite, say it was delicious and leave the rest. You will be proud of yourself and your eventual weight loss in worth more than a piece of cake.

7. I am not going to say start exercising because I know how hard that is, but the slightest increase in your movement can burn up extra calories and help you lose weight. Take the dog for a walk, kick your legs up and down while you are watching TV, park the car a block away, take the stairs or bend and stretch when you get out of bed. Any extra body motion will help you lose weight.

8. Switch to cereal which has less sugar. Once again the emphasis is on health not diet. It is healthier to have a breakfast cereal with less sugar, more roughage and less additives. If you are worried about your kids complaining, yes they will for a week or two, but then they will resign themselves to either eating what you buy or going hungry! The changes you make to your household shopping will also help other members of the family experience weight loss without dieting.

9. Carry a piece of fruit or a low calorie snack bar around with you for when you get stuck and the only option is a cake! Don't give yourself the excuse that you had no choice because you were hungry and had to eat the only thing available which was a ten ton Danish, it's not true, you can determine what you eat and your own rate of weight loss.

10. Don't get hungry. When you are hungry it is much easier to scoff down what ever is in sight. Make sure you eat breakfast lunch and dinner, or even more frequent smaller meals, but don't wait until you just have to eat. Impulse eating is detrimental to your weight loss.

11. Reward and spoil your self daily in ways that don't involve food. We tend to go into self hate when we are over weight and rewarding yourself makes you happier and less needy for food. So go to a movie, have a manicure, buy an item of clothing or have a long hot bubble bath. After all your eventual weight loss will be the biggest reward.

Try these tips for easy weight loss while not dieting, after implementing these eating habits you will be in a better position to contemplate going on a diet, and might not even need to.
