In this article you'll see how to lose weight fast naturally, and you might find that it's easier than you thought. But first I'd like to share with you how I can upon this fast, natural weight loss knowledge.
In the last 10 years, I had let 50 pounds creep up on my body. No plan or food program seemed to be the answer to my goal of weight loss success. I decided it was time to get serious and gathered all the books about nutrition I could read and what its connection is to the epidemic of illness present in America today. I learned something quite staggering. The SAD (standard American diet) full of processed junk foods is wrecking havoc on the health of us all.
Rich in refined sugars, saturated fats and processed foods the SAD is contributing to the high rates of chronic disease and so many unnecessary deaths. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes are all rampant in our society. All could be greatly improved if we paid more mind to our diets.
According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, the definition of food is "something that nourishes, sustains or supplies." So many of the packaged "foods" that we consume daily lack crucial nutrients vital to good health. This told me that packaged processed "foods" are not really foods at all. What I had been consuming, while full of calories, was not providing me much in the way of nutrition. So, the question of how to lose weight fast naturally was starting to make sense.
Drastic times call for drastic measures. I knew I had to make a change if I wanted to be successful. I knew what I had to do. I cut out all processed junk foods, refined sugars, white flours and dairy products. I knew that I needed to start nourishing my body. Only this would give me lasting weight loss success.
I started with the basics. I taught myself again how to food shop. Most of the foods that I need are located in the produce section of the market. So, I now shop mostly the perimeter of the supermarket. I focus my sights on fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. I began to create meals from scratch, like my grandmother did, so that I know what the ingredients are. I follow the rule of 5: I don't purchase packaged products that list more than 5 ingredients or ingredients that I cannot identify. Slowly, quite naturally, the weight started to shed.
I felt better than I had in years. I felt young again! The brown spots that had appeared on my face were disappearing. I was cooking healthy meals that were delicious and nutritious. The light bulb went off in my head, it was not a diet that I needed at all. What I needed was a complete change in my lifestyle. And, as a result eliminating the bad foods and reintroducing my body to healthy real food, I naturally lost the weight.
It is now a year later, and I am 50 pounds lighter. There is no looking back. I am committed to this new lifestyle that has produced such magnificent results. Never again will I "diet". Quite simply, diets don't work. The answer, I found, to the age old question, "How to Lose Weight Fast" is this: without eliminating the bad foods and replacing them with the real, nutritious foods, you will not attain your goal of lasting weight loss success.
