Quick Weight Loss Tips

Have you tried all sorts of supposed weight loss secrets and still found yourself at your original weight? Repeated failures to lose weight have probably reduced your confidence levels. You probably lack the motivation to make another attempt at losing weight. Do not despair because there are a few weight loss secrets you have probably not yet heard about. These weight loss secrets do not require you to take any medication or to go on a drastic diet.

The first of these weight loss secrets is Yoga. This ancient Indian exercise is gaining popularity world wide because of its ability to reduce weight without causing damage or stress to ones body. Yoga focuses on getting the entire body in good shape and in equilibrium. It tones the body uniformly and so there is an over all weight loss. It is not a high impact exercise and so can be done even by the elderly. An unexpected but welcome side effect of yoga is an overall feeling of calm as it includes breathing exercises as well. Initially Yoga has to be done under the guidance of a trained practitioner. Once you get the hang of it you can do it at home at any time convenient to you. Apart from the traditional Yoga you could also try Power Yoga which gives you greater weight loss. Yoga is wildly popular in Hollywood and that alone should indicate that it delivers results.

Another of my weight loss secrets is following a raw food diet. This does not mean that you stop eating all cooked food. You just have to add lots of raw fruits and vegetables to your diet. These foods are low in calories and contain almost no fat. The bulk of our diet today consists of carbohydrates which very quickly turn into fat by the body as insurance against a rainy day if it is not burnt away. Eat raw fruits and vegetables to reduce the amount of carbohydrates you and yet feel full after a meal. Certain raw foods take lots of energy to digest.

Both these weight loss secrets emphasize on treating your body with respect. They help you lose weight gradually. If you were to lose weight too fast your body will start storing fat to compensate for the ‘famine' that it thinks is approaching. Follow them and will not just lose weight but be healthier as well.
