Today more than ever there is so much information on losing weight that it has become very confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow these 7 principles.

1

Improve Your Frame of Mind

Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.

2

Learn more about how your ancestors lived

Research more on the Paleolithic diet. If you eat more like your ancestors you will be eating food that is better for your body. You will likely lose weight, have more energy and feel great. It has been shown^[source?], when a group of people stop eating the food that was indigenous to them they start gaining weight and having health problems.

3

Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible

When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine. If given the right nutrients you will be at the best weight for you, have plenty of energy and feel great. Eating highly processed empty calorie foods will cause your body to always be hungry because it’s trying to get the nutrients it needs.

4

Drink More

Drink the best weight loss supplement there is, water. Most people do not know the difference between being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A lot of the time people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.

5

Chew Your Food

Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid digestion.

6

Small, Frequent Meals

Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals make your digestion system work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.

6

Exercise

Most people are overweight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walk your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. 

Remember: It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it. Choosing a physical activity purely based on the fact that it burns a lot of calories may be a mistake.
