Natural Weight Loss Approach

by Ron Cripps

If you eat correctly and keep moving, you have everything
you need to know about how to prevent being overweight using
a natural weight loss program; advice like this is for the
most part ignored. If it were that simple, which it should
be, most slimming companies would be out of business; with
the number of overweight American citizens increasing, this
advice obviously doesn't work. Of course, once you are
overweight, you usually want to trim down for a whole lot of
reasons, some related to health, others having to do with
looks.

The hard thing for people to understand is it is easier to
maintain your natural weight than loose extra pounds once
you have put them on. Nevertheless weight maintenance is
something that has to be worked on and planned otherwise we
will put on extra pounds.

For some reason even when dieters who have become used to,
and enjoy, a low calorie diet, they eventually drift back to
old habits and start piling the pounds back on again. You
have the power to take control of your body by eating
properly, and live a healthy life through natural weight
loss dieting and exercise.

Most health experts contend that the significance of excess
weight is more than cosmetic as it takes a huge toll on a
person's physical health. If you think about it, losing
excess weight by natural methods is the most acceptable way
to get rid of those extra pounds but too many people want a
'quick fix' system.

If you are planning to use a natural weight loss approach
then its success will depend on the meals you eat which
should be low in fat, high in fiber, some protein and
carbohydrates. A meal such as this would be something like a
baked potato (complex carbohydrate), the fiber is vegetables
and protein is a lean cut of meat.

Unfortunately, dietary fat contains higher amounts of
calories than ordinary food which when consumed will just be
converted to body fat more readily. Another problem is the
obsession with fat free or low fat foods that food
manufactures are stacking the shelves with which despite
their popularity are not stopping the problem of obesity.

One of the greatest delusions of the 1990s was that no fat
meant non-fattening but the truth is you are often getting
just as many calories from these foods; the calories are
just not coming from fat. This is a trap that many people
fall into and forget it's about eating from the correct food
groups, and if you have to snack make it a small healthy
one.

It is believed in some circles that a natural method of
weight loss is to eat less but more often without actually
missing meals, which can get you into bad habits. When
combined with regular exercise, this natural weight loss
plan offers a way to lose unwanted pounds in the long run.
