A quick and easy way to lose weight

By Lon

Weight loss can occur effortlessly by simply avoiding or minimizing:

  • processed foods
  • sweets, and other “foods” containing sugar
  • white bread and pasta (substitute whole-grain varieties instead),
  • foods with a high percentage of calories from fat,
  • alcoholic drinks.

In this approach you simply become more conscious of those items that change you body and brain chemistry, more aware of controlling portion sizes, while simultaneously adding more vigorous exercise (a total of 2 to 3 hours a week) to the mix.

In this moderate, “sensible,” watch-what-you-eat approach, you gradually replace poor food choices with healthy ones. You’re likely to decrease overall caloric intake, and with the addition of regular cardio and strength exercises several times a week, you’ll naturally enter into a caloric deficit.

In my opinion and experience, this conservative approach could be effective in slightly overweight people wanting to lose around 5 to 10 percent of their body weight. There is a tremendous payback for this strategy, since even a 10% loss of excess fat (especially if it’s in the abdominal area) yields tremendous health benefits.
