Here are five key strategies to help you lose weight without counting calories:

Focus on Whole Foods
Prioritize unprocessed foods like vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. These nutrient-dense foods help control hunger naturally and reduce the intake of unnecessary calories.

Mindful Eating
Pay attention to what and when you eat. Slow down, savor each bite, and listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues. Eating at a table without distractions can help you eat more consciously and prevent overeating.

Increase Protein Intake
Eating more protein helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall food intake. Aim for 0.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight, or more if you're building muscle. Include lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts in your meals and snacks.

Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps control hunger and prevents mistaking thirst for hunger. Aim for three liters daily, and consider drinking a glass of water before meals to help you eat less.

Regular Physical Activity
Incorporate a mix of cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises into your routine. While you can't out-train a bad diet, physical activity helps burn extra calories, build muscle, and improve metabolism, all aiding in weight loss.

By focusing on these five strategies, you can create healthy habits and a lifestyle that promotes weight loss without meticulous calorie counting. For more tips and support, follow Maria on Instagram at fitness_fertility and join her community of women on their fertility journeys.
