Losing weight comes down to burning more calories than you consume. Most diets advocate for you to count your calories and then reduce the amount you consume each week while you increase the amount you burn.
However, counting calories can be a pain. It is time consuming, frustrating, and requires meticulous planning and detail.
The good news is, losing weight can be done efficiently by following basic principles without having to carry a calorie counter.
Here are three guiding principles to help you lose weight.

How To Lose Weight Without Counting Calories
Rule #1: Consume Lean Protein At Each Meal Protein is your best bet for dieting since it is the building block of muscle.
Furthermore, more protein will allow you to feel fuller so you are less likely to overeat.
You should consume 1g of protein for each pound of targeted bodyweight. So if a woman weights 135lbs and wants to weigh 120lbs you should consume 120g of protein a day.
You should try to divide that total amount over the number of meals you will consume a day. In this example, if she is trying to eat 6 meals a day, then each meal should contain about 20g of protein.
Try to eat lean protein sources such as chicken breast, seafood, 90% lean bison or turkey, egg whites, low fat Greek yogurt, or tofu.
Always pick the leanest protein sources with reduced-fat.
Rule 2: Eat Fiber With Every Meal
Fiber has been shown to reduce the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and plays an important role in weight loss and help maintain a healthy weight.
When you eat more fiber you feel full and this decreases your appetite so you are less likely to overeat.
Great sources of fibrous vegetables include broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, green beans and kale. Great sources of starches include brown rice, whole grain pasta, quinoa, oatmeal and bread.
Rule 3: Eat S-L-O-W-L-Y
When you eat a meal you should feel satiated. You want to be able to have eaten the food but not in a way that causes you to feel stuffed and uncomfortable.
Eat slowly so that the hormones released from your brain can trigger a sense of fullness to notify you to stop overeating.
A helpful tip is to eat slowly like you are at a job interview. You want to take your time and eat at an appropriate pace.
If you find yourself famished before you eat, first eat the lean protein, then the fibrous vegetables, then the starch and finally the low fat sources.
Always strive to eat more lean protein. If you find that you are stuffed when you eat, reduce the food on your plate.
