How to lose weight naturally and permanently and start living your life!

The good news is that you don’t need a diet program to tell you how to lose weight. We’ve really made life difficult for ourselves by allowing ourselves to get sucked into general “diet” beliefs, like counting calories to lose weight, low-fat foods to lose weight, sugar-free foods to lose weight, and the list goes on. But all you really need to know to lose weight naturally and effortlessly is what foods to eat, what exercise to get, and how to change the way you think about food.

What foods should you eat to lose weight?

I once started a 3 month natural raw food diet. The only cooked food I ate was some feta and chickpeas. I lost a lot of weight and felt great! It was very liberating to be on this raw food diet, because I stopped thinking about dieting and losing weight, and just ate whatever I wanted, as long as it was raw and natural. I can comfortably say that you can eat the following in any quantity as long as you stick to what is on this list; the general rule of thumb is that it just has to be any unrefined or unrefined food, so I may have gone. eliminate some foods, but be your own judge.

Food combining (not eating specific foods together) also works well, because it ensures rapid digestion, which influences weight loss.

But the most important aspect of losing weight naturally is eating what God intended the human body to consume: natural, whole foods, free of additives and other toxins. In other words, the best foods to eat are those that go bad in a couple of days. This, of course, does not include canned vegetables that can last for years! Understand that if something has a long lifespan, you have to wonder what was added to it to make it last!

What exercise should you do to lose weight?

Different exercises do different things for the body. Ideally, you need a mix of cardio (anything that makes your heart beat faster), as well as weights and stretching. You need to get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise a day, and you need to push your body through these exercises, which means some heavy breathing and sweating!

Changing the way you think about food:

This is key to permanent weight loss. Food must be considered necessary for survival. It should not be used to fill an inner void, or for entertainment when bored, or for comfort. As I mentioned, I was on a raw food diet for 3 months, but I hadn’t addressed the way I related to food, so when I finished the raw food diet, I gained all the weight I had lost and more. If you don’t address this vital aspect, you’re not likely to lose weight permanently.

Once you’ve grasped the simplicity of eating for its nutritional value, along with portion control, your life will be so much simpler, and instead of counting calories in each meal, you can start living your life and doing things much more. more important than measuring calories. grams of fat!
