Nature's Way to Lose Weight
Everybody wants to sell a weightloss plan. This one is free, so naturally
you'll be suspicious of it. Don't be. You might learn something that will change your life. At best, diets help you get weight down, but then you have to follow them on a lifelong basis to maintain weight. It's something people deep down inside resent having to do, so they often cheat and then gain the weight back. A great example is Weight Watchers. They say you have to count "points" all your life but that you can eat almost anything, just in moderation. Even cakes and ice cream are allowed "treats" within the total point limitation. So members continue to think of these foods as goodies and eat as much of them as they can get away with. Most members remain overweight as a result, but WW gains lifelong subscriptions. Diets are first and foremost a business. What people should do instead is adjust their thinking about what they really want to eat and don't want to eat, then let nature take its course. Humans did very well for centuries before cakes and McDonalds came out. Adjusting one's thinking isn't difficult to do. Just read up on nutrition to get the basics about what's good for your health and what constitutes mostly empty calories or raises blood sugar too rapidly, then learn to think of the latter items as things you really don't like. It's simpler than counting points all your life: You don't like cakes, candies, ice cream and soft drinks, so you don't consider eating them. Reduce your carbs (breads, potatoes), sugar, sodium (chips) and saturated fats (fried foods), and increase protein and mono/poly fats. Great foods are skinless chicken breast, lean beef, fish like salmon, vegetables, fruits, salads (hold the mayo) and nuts. You can't avoid losing weight this way. Drink lots of water too. This isn't about becoming a slave to a diet. It's about wanting to eat what nature intended you to eat. The human body can do amazing things as long as it isn't abused beyond the point of recovery. I own a restaurant, and I see tons of cakes and soft drinks all the time. They don't interest me at all any more, and so I never touch them. I'm not special; anyone can do the same thing. It's just a little mental adjustment up front to make weight control effortless long-term. It's like stopping smoking cold turkey, which I did back in college. Along with eating proper foods comes exercise. Running or fast walking burn the most calories per hour. Do some resistance exercises too. The body expends more energy supporting muscle than supporting fat, so it burns fat to support the muscle, even while you sleep. Cool. huh? After exercising you're gonna be hungry. Eat protein and drink lots of water to fill you up and satisfy your appetite. This is more natural and effortless compared to eating junk food and having to monitor total caloric intake. There's no need to stop snacking, just snack smart. I have a habit of snacking on dry roasted, unsalted almonds. They're delicious and one of the best quality foods you can eat - high in good fats, protein and amino acids. Fresh fruits are great, too. If nuts aren't good for you because of their calories, find something else that's healthful and soon enough you'll like it. What you want isn't an eating plan that makes you fight with your inner desires. That kind of forced behavior won't last. Instead you want to want healthful foods and let nature take care of your weight for you. That's all there is to it. It's effortless and a lifelong solution once you control your way of thinking. My advice was free, too. Contrast this with WW who charge you for a plan that doesn't work as evidenced by many multi-year members who are still overweight. And don't listen to the advice of anyone on this NG who is overweight. Take your future in your own hands using this common-sense approach. |

And don't listen to the advice of anyone on this NG who is overweight. Take your future in your own hands using this common-sense approach. The big flaw in your advice is that it's the same advice everyone else comes out with and it just doesn't work. If it did work no-one would be overweight. Aren't you the idiot/^^^^^/ guy who suggested anyone could lose 10 pounds a week easily, and without any detrimental side effects? Ray |
