It is perfectly possible
to lose weight by natural methods alone. Some people trying to lose weight
quickly are misled into taking dodgy supplements and pills. This can do more damage than good including uneven fat
distribution or serious kidney and liver problems. Losing weight naturally
leaves your body well-proportioned and helps you achieve optimal metabolic
rates for sustained weight loss results. Here are the top 5 ways to lose
weight naturally?
Exercising
The basic formula of
losing weight is that you need to use up more calories than you are taking in.
This creates a deficiency that is filled up by burning body fat. Physical exercise
is very good in enabling this.
There are many ways to exercize. It can be as simple as jogging or swimming where all you need is to move your
body weight to make your muscles work harder. You can also use weights to push
your body harder.
Not all exercise is
equal, you burn more calories while doing bumpees than while jogging at a
steady pace. The best way to get the maximum weight loss from exercise is to
have a physician draw up an exercise routine that has a mix of exercises to
work out your whole body consistently.
Low carb diet
Carbohydrates are the
energy giving foods as they are packed with the sugars needed in producing
calories. If you are taking in more carbs than your body requires, they are stored
as fat. A low carb diet involves taking in higher portions of proteins and fiber.
Cut out foods such as
French fries and pastries which have high sugar levels. Reducing the intake of
sugary drinks like soda lowers you carb intake as well.
Good sleep
Sleeping well gives your
body the relief needed for muscle repair such that they are working optimally
the next day. You will feel less fatigued and have lower urge to snack
more. Sleeping 6-8 hours will leave you
refreshed and energized for a morning run or other exercises.
Intermittent fasting
Unlike self-starvation
where you reduce the amount taken in drastically, intermittent fasting is skipping
some meals in a healthy way to reduce your calorie intake going for longer
periods in-between meals. Your body learns to operate on lower calories which
helps restrict your calorie intake naturally.
Mindful eating
This is eating with more
awareness of what you are taking in. Instead of unhealthy snacking like having a bagel, for example, you can munch on a handful of peanuts. You
also learn to eat more slowly savoring your food’s taste to make eating a more
pleasurable experience.
