There are literally thousands of weight loss programs out there today - which shows that losing weight is an almost universal preoccupation! When you examine what many of these programs are all about, though, you can see why people who lose weight typically are not able to keep it off for good. Unlike natural weight loss, many weight loss programs emphasize special products such as meal replacements or supplements. The problem is that no one can stay with this type of program for life - and as soon as you get off the weigh loss program, the weight is likely to creep back on, and you're back where you started.



Natural weight loss is different. With natural weight loss, you use the simplest principle of all - the fact that, in order to lose weight, you must use more calories than you take in. You make this principle work in your favor, and you can do this in one of two ways. You can either eat less - and that doesn't mean cutting out or minimizing entire food groups, but just eating less of whatever you happen to be eating - or you can exercise more. To be really successful, of course, you should do both.



To limit how much you eat, the simplest and most natural technique is this: eat only when you're hungry, and when you're not hungry anymore, stop eating. It sounds simple and logical - but it's amazing how few of us actually do this! This natural weight loss technique has one great advantage - it teaches you to listen to your body. Given the chance, your body will tell you when and how much you need to eat. No book can tell you that. After all, your needs vary from day to day. Some people have a 'hungry day' followed by a 'not hungry' day, and that's waht's natural for them. 'Naturally' thin people are those who habitually listen to their bodies.



The natural way to exercise is to do it often, but at a low intensity. Throughout most of human history, people didn't visit the gym, but they did move around all day, every day - they walked or rode everywhere, for one thing. And most of these people were not overweight. You can do the same. One way to do this is to establish a certain 'minimum distance' for driving, and stick to it. For example, you can decide never to drive if your destination is closer than ten blocks. Of course, there will be exceptions, but just following a policy like this most of the time will inject a lot of extra exercise into your day.
