Can you lose weight without exercising?

Question

I want to lose about 20lbs. Not much. I HATE exercising. I don’t mind being active like walking, and tend to go outside daily to run around with my kids. But actual exercise? Kill me now. 
Can I lose weight with only a calorie deficit? No exercise?

Answer

You totally can. But you’ll be able to eat more if you exercise! Losing weight, like another commenter said, is calorie deficit. The more you exercise, the higher your maintenance calories will be when you get to your goal weight. Personally, if I can still have burgers and my favorite dressings while looking bomb, and shapely, I’m doing that! I at first lost weight with no exercise, and I looked frail. I lost my ass. I lost my hips and shape. I was super flabby, but I was skinny. I did it the second go around with tons of weight training, and my arms were toned, I had abs, and my booty never looked so damn good! I was thick, and I wasn’t hungry all the time.

Answer

Just do a calorie deficit 😊 if you google it you can learn everything you need to know about being in a calorie deficit, and you can use a calorie calculator off of google to find out what amount of calories to eat as well ❤️ wishing you luck on your journey!

Answer

Yep. Weight is about 85% diet. Granted, it’s faster with exercise. But. I’ve lost about 60lbs in a year and have only recently started doing “toning” exercises.

Answer

Yes, I did with IF and walking pushing the baby stroller

Answer

It depends on your body type and how much you actually need to lose weight. If you have a good bit of weight, you’ll drop pounds with just changing your diet. If you’re only a little over weight, you’ll most likely need exercise to help reach your goal.

Answer

Yes, many people can lose weight that way. 
But perhaps just generally being active and doing things you actually like can take the place of exercise. I don't see why we have to exercise like rats on a wheel. We should not really do anything we completely hate. Exercising in a gym is not really any better than going for a hike, or a bike ride, or playing some kind of sport. People can totally just pick exercise they like.

I stopped eating meat for a while and lost a lot of weight

Answer

Absolutely. I've lost 75lbs without exercise.

Answer

What you eat & how much you eat is key to losing weight, but in order to be healthy you do need to incorporate exercise.. you don’t have to do anything crazy, even walking for a little each day is better than nothing.

Answer

You will see and feel better and faster results if you get active and tone up your body, esp with weight training. 🤷‍♀️
