Yes, it is possible. Actually, the method I will share with you in this article is healthier than just exercising without a proper diet! I found it out by myself and it happened by a coincidence!

The magical recipe for losing weight in a healthy manner without exercise is eating only those products that don't consist any white flour and white refined sugar in them. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, easier said than done, isn't it? If you are like me, fan of all kinds of bread, potatoes, pastas or pizzas, you will say: Honey! Where are my gym clothes, I decided that exercising is for me after all! Why I choose to do this step, to cut off my favorites foods from my daily menu? The reason is simple. I decided to be healthy and listen to my body.

I knew that something was wrong. I was tired all the time and always needed to sleep after my meals. I did not work out because I didn't have time for it. Plus my metabolism wasn't getting any better with the years.

Investigating all the symptoms I found out that white flour is stripped of its bran that is refined and easily converted by the body into sugar. And I don't know if you are aware that we actually gain weight from sugar and not from fat. When we eat white flour and refined sugar products, sugar in them is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing a rise in the hormone insulin, which acts to clear it from the blood. If there is too much sugar that needs to be cleaned from the blood, it is designated to be stored in the tissue for future use in form of fat. When you those types of products they are quickly digested and burned, and they cause peaks and valleys in your energy level that leaves you craving more. This behavior causes weight gain.

So my challenge for you my friend is: Eat white flour free products and refined white sugar free products for at least 40 days and I promise you that you lose weight in a healthy manner without exercise! I also advise you to take vitamins and minerals supplements to nurture your body and give it what it needs.

Below these are foods you are not allowed to eat. If you want to take my challenge SAY NO to:

All prepared or packaged foods. Sodas. White flour fresh breads or packaged breads. Ice creams. Cereal. All deep fried foods in general especially French fries and fried chicken. Cakes and sweets. Rise. Potatoes. Pizzas. Pastas. Alcohol. Coffee.

I will give you some examples of foods you can eat and SAY YES to:

All vegetables, that are green and leafy. You can grill or cook them and even heat them up on a pan but just for a little period of time. Green color fruits. Fruits in general in moderation. Eggs. Wraps made with lettuce. Eggplants that you can oven bake. Sugar free yogurt (pay attention if they still put sweeteners and write sugar free; it should have sour taste). Cantaloupe. Cottage cheese. Herbal teas.

Eating "Say Yes" products you will never feel bloated afterwords and never have to deal with sugar crashes. You get all of the fiber and carbs you need from fruits and vegetables and loose weight as a natural process. What's not to like? Good luck!
