Losing weight has become a national obsession, and with good
reason: we all want to look our best. We do it for health, we do
it to look sexy to the people to whom we feel attracted. Sure,
diet pills from the big drug companies might or might not work,
but who knows what they are doing to our bodies: just look at
the fen-phen debacle of the late-1990s.
Happily, there are ways to naturally lose weight while avoiding
potentially dangerous diet pills manufactured by drug companies.
Here are 5 secrets for how to naturally lose weight fast:
Secret #1: Know your calorie math: Put simply, over a given
period of time you will lose weight if you burn more calories
than what you take in. Pretty simple math, right? The unfair
thing is: some people have a naturally slower metabolic rate
(the rate at which your body naturally burns calories). That is
why you have thinner friends who can eat twice as much as you
eat without gaining a pound. However, even they are not exempt
from the calorie math. So, start becoming acutely aware of how
many calories you are taking in per day versus how many you are
burning through exercise. If the math adds up, you will be
"subtracting" pounds from your rear, thighs and tummy before you
know it.
Secret #2: Drink more water: Water is the natural way to flush
your system clean. As you begin to lose more weight, your blood
will be flooded with toxins rejected from the cells in your
body. Drinking more water will help flush these toxins out.
Water also helps with basic cellular functioning and,
importantly, metabolism.
Secret #3: Get a pedometer: Pedometers, or step counters, are
really great little inventions. Just attach one to your belt in
the morning, reset the counter to zero, and go about your day.
At the end of the day, remember or write down your "score"
(number of steps). After a few days, you may find yourself
trying to outdo your own high score! A pedometer makes it easier
to visualize the connection between your daily activity and your
calorie burning. Pedometers start at around $1.
Secret #4: Cut out dessert: People who try to diet usually end
up gaining all of the weight back within a few weeks. Reason:
when we deprive ourselves of food, we end up craving it more and
then end up blowing the diet. Try this: instead of going cold
turkey on sweets, just cut out your after-dinner dessert. Even
shaving those extra 200 calories from your daily diet means
taking in 6,000 fewer calories a month!
Secret #5: Learn which snack foods are good for you: Snacking
is one of the biggest enemies of a weight loss plan. Eating
healthier snacks can actually make you want to eat less. Reason:
your body craves healthy food. When you eat right, you will be
less hungry.
Losing weight naturally is the best way to go. As you lose
weight, you will feel better and you will look better to those
to whom you are attracted. By understanding the connection
between caloric intake and calorie burning, you have the right
foundation in place for see significant weight loss.
