How To Lose Weight Naturally – The Easy Way

You may have often pondered on the subject of "how to lose weight naturally." If you are like most people, it seems to be a never-ending battle of the bulge. Have you seen your weight fluctuating up and down with your clothing sizes being a sort of one-of-each through the years? If this sounds like you, then it is time to do something about it…now! Read on for the answer.

The secret to losing weight is simple, but if you do not understand the process and have no will power then it may seem like an insurmountable task. There are the fad diets, eat nothing diets and on and on, but the truth is a few simple lifestyle changes can help you learn how to lose weight naturally.

1. How big are you?

The first step is to set a base line of your size, so you will know when you make small but measureable accomplishments. First, measure and weight yourself. Measure your arms, waist, hips (at the largest part around you) and thighs. Next, weigh yourself and note the time of day, as you will want to weigh again in the weeks ahead at the same approximate time and with the same amount of clothing on. This will give you an accurate starting point.

You can go one step further by calculating your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). This is the calculation of the amount of energy expended while your body is at rest. This takes into account the energy needed to breath and other body functions. This number will show you how many calories you need to function if you did nothing but lay in the bed all day.

To lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories than you burn each day. Still if you do not eat as many calories as your BMR, you will lose weight but it will be mostly water and muscle loss instead of fat loss. This type weight loss is not healthy and will not stay off. You can learn how to calculate your BMR by searching it on the Internet.

2. How active are you?

Depending on your activity level, you will need to eat more or less calories per day. As you can see, your caloric intake needs to go hand in hand with your BMR and activity level. If you want to learn how to lose weight naturally, you will have to learn to have a calorie deficiency each day. You can use a calorie calculator in order to get an idea of the number of calories you will burn during your activities such as walking, exercise and everyday chores. These calculators are readily available online.

3. Write it down.

Keep a journal of your progress and record the following:

- Your weight and measurements (updated once per month)
- Your BMR (updated once per month)
- Your activities, exercise and calories expended (daily)
- Your meals and calories eaten (daily)

There are websites and software programs available to help keep track of all this if you are more prone to using the computer. It has been found that just journaling your progress can give you a greater chance of being successful and will make you more apt to stay on the plan. You will definitely become more aware of what and how much you eat.

Just by doing these three simple steps, you will learn how to lose weight naturally. If you are eating fewer calories than you are burning, you will absolutely lose weight! Once you become accustomed to the lifestyle change and see the results, you will be happy to continue. These are just a few quick steps you can do to get started.
