Weight Loss - Weight Loss The Natural Way

Many people today are overweight or obese. The diet industry is doing a booming business. Yet the answer to all of your weight problems may be right inside of you just waiting to be released. The following recommendations are not new, not a secret, nor do they require extra money to be spent. The following will let you loose weight, feel better and improve your mental and physical outlook. Before you start, visit your doctor. Have them give you a baseline starting point. Make sure they check thyroid, liver, kidney function, and blood sugar. If all is normal then proceed, if not follow his/her recommendations for proper medications. If all is fine then try these steps to weight loss. 1. Water: The universal solvent and the most amazing thing you can put in your body. Drink lots and lots of water. How much? Simple one-half of your body weight. If you weigh 200 lbs drink 100 ounces per day. If 300 lbs drink 150 ounces per day. You get the idea. Also drink the water as cold as you can stand it. Why? The body has to burn calories to warm the water to 98.6, so the body can use it. The colder it is, the more calories you burn. Side effects: you'll go to the bathroom more often(which is good). Cost: minimal to nothing. 2. Diet: Eat whatever you want. The thing is portion control. The labeling on all food products now show portion size. Read them and eat one portion and not three or four portions. Of course have lots of variety to maintain a good nutritional balance (not just french fries and ice cream). Eat a snack between meals within proper portion size. Along with portion size, drink the aforementioned water. If you are craving a soda, drink one. If the body needs sugar, give it sugar. Drink a regular soda not diet. Diet does not satisfy your sugar need so you drink more resulting in increased calories. Portion control is key to loosing weight. Side effects: you'll eat more often while loosing weight (which is good). Cost: Minimal to nothing. 3. Exercise:Yes you do need to do it. You don't need a gym, fancy clothes, or personal trainers. What you do need is, your clothes, your tennis shoes, and the street you live on. It's hard and difficult but, you do it everyday. WALK. Doesn't matter how far. Just walk. One block, good, do it everyday. Slowly you'll increase your abilities and walk further and faster. In just a few weeks the distance you're walking will amaze you. Side effects: You'll loose weight and exercise a thing called your heart (which is good). Cost: Minimal to nothing. Three very common and simple things. Fancy-No, New-No, Cost lots of Money-No. Results: Lost weight, feel better, have more energy and your body will be healthier (which is all good things). Remember, the weight did not go on in one day and it will not go off in one day. If you fail for a day, start again the next and soon you'll notice you do these things without even thinking. Congratulations, you've made a lifestyle change and when it becomes a habit or a lifestyle, You've Won. Deo Welch writes on various subjects mostly relating to health issues.
