How to Lose Weight Naturally?

How to lose weight naturally has been in debate for years.

Some say low carb. Some say high carb. Some say it's how much food. Some say it's how much exercise. But none of these covers the whole picture.

How to lose weight naturally is not rocket science. It just takes accepting the facts of these seven natural laws of weight loss, plus good old-fashioned stick-to-itiveness.


Seven Laws of How to Lose Weight Naturally

1. Make a commitment to whatever it takes. You not only need to know what to do, you also have to manage yourself in such a way that you do it. If you already knew exactly how to get yourself to lose weight and keep it off, you'd be at your perfect weight right now. Without 100% commitment to do what it takes, your goal has no staying power.

2. Start from a foundation of happiness. Most people think losing weight will make them happy. But happiness is a mental state that can only be created right now. And nobody wins at any challenge if they're unhappy. So be happy. Accept yourself and your current circumstances and be enthusiastic about the future you're creating.

3. Design your own healthy diet plan. Natural doesn't mean spontaneous. As a matter of fact, spontaneous gratification is what gets most of us into trouble. Just like managing your time and money, weight management takes planning and organization. To burn more calories than you consume, based on your lifestyle, how are you going to handle the details?

4. Manage your emotions. Emotional eating is a major reason for failure. We've learned to use sweets, fatty foods and overeating for entertainment, celebration and to sooth and stuff down unpleasant emotions. Come up with a list of other things you enjoy (besides eating). And begin exchanging old bad habits for healthy new ways of enjoyment and soothing.

5. Find a way to exercise daily. Exercise is healthy and burns calories. It doesn't have to be complicated or extreme. It just has to happen. Decide what kind would be best for you and work it out with your schedule. There are great exercise videos, walking paths and a variety of gyms everywhere. Choose a time and method and make it a regular habit.

6. Keep a Journal. If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. Studies show the great majority of people who lose weight and keep it off are very aware of what they eat and the calories they consume. Many keep a journal. Research shows those who guess at the amounts, without writing them down (at least in the beginning), grossly underestimate their calories.

7. Be persistent. Nothing gets accomplished without persistence. Persistence is the only common denominator of all successful people. The story goes that Thomas Edison had 999 failures before he finally invented the light bulb. If you've tried and failed 999 times, learn from your mistakes and do it better next time. The only way to succeed is to persist.

Don't focus on the weight, focus on your activity. Eat a healthy diet and stay away from fats, salts and sugars...do a lot of cardio and try to swim...you'll tone up without worrying about the weight...you can do it!
Couple of months ago, I went on this crazy diet. I didn't eat the whole day except for drink water and exercised crazy and the next thing you know my weight went down crazy. My doctor told me that if I kept it up I could've die. She told me that losing weight is good but not that quickly, give it some time.
about 3,600 calories is a pound, so run on the elliptical until it has told you you've burned around 3,000 calories. then do some crunches before you go to bed every night. Try an hour of crunches, at least.
Get an illness.
You can loose a pound a day because I have done it. First you must loose the inital 2-3 pounds the first week then from there on out what you do is , drink plenty ofwater, DO NOT eat any carbs after 6pm and limit your carb intake to 50 carbs per day. Also eat NON_FAT food, milk, cheese, if you can't find ALL of you foods in NON_FAT them limit the fat content to maximum 6 grams per day. Then walking briskley for 30 mins will drop the pounds off. I hgave lost20 pounds in 1 month its great. Beleive you do this and you WILL loose the weight gurenteed
If you lose a pound a day, you are going to die. It's that simple.

Don't be a moron. It's only safe to lose two pounds a week, maybe a bit more when you first start. It is NOT safe to lose THREE TIMES the 'safe' amount. I'm so tired of people wanting something quick and easy.

Losing weight is neither quick nor easy. That's why there are so many people overweight, or just simply unfit. If it were quick and easy, everyone would be gods and goddesses.
It may be possible, but it isn't safe and can't be continued very long. A pound represents 3500 calories -- about twice what a normal person ingests in a day, so you wouldn't lose a pound a day if you stopped eating altogether. A reasonable target rate is a pound a week.
