Looking for healthy ways to lose weight? Well, if so, you have to look no further than your own cupboards, refrigerator or sidewalk. All you need is a combination of diet (eating the right things, not starving yourself) and exercise.

I know that today we are all being sold on the idea that we can get whatever we want quickly and easily. And that is not always the truth. It depends on what you really want to accomplish; how much weight you need to lose and how much time (and effort) you are willing to invest in the process.

The first thing you should do is talk to your doctor and find out what they recommend. Only they will know your unique health issues, if any, and should be able to advise you on your options.

It may not be sexy and it may sound hard and intimidating, but there are healthy ways to lose weight and it has nothing to do with popping pills or buying the latest workout DVD or gizmo.

You can go go at it with as much vigor as you want. As quickly or as slowly as you want. It takes time to lose weight and get in better shape, but you can make major changes to your daily routine or you can start with some small changes, one at a time, and go from there.

One thing that I have recently found out is that some people don’t eat enough. Yep, that’s right, you heard me, they don’t eat enough. They don’t eat often enough and they eat too much processed foods and not enough foods that are good for them.

When I started eating six small, healthy meals a day I lost weight. Six pounds in one week to be exact. I was just providing my body with what it needed to give me the best results.

By eating too little or eating too much food with minimal nutritional value, I was making it harder to lose weight. When I kept my body fed throughout the day I was encouraging my metabolism to burn hot all day… that is why I lost weight.

I actually ate my way to weight loss! Cool, huh. Not only was it easy, it was also fast. And it was healthy. I was just giving my body what it needed. How can you go wrong with something like that?

Look, I know it may sound hard and it may not sound very sexy, but the truth is that getting in shape and losing weight can go a long way to helping you improve the quality of your life. You can live longer and live better if you are in good health.

The best healthy ways to lose weight are to ask your doctor for ideas and what limitations you may have, eat a well balanced diet with few processed foods and a lot of fresh, natural foods, drink plenty of water get plenty of sleep and get more exercise.

Looking for easy ways to lose weight? Want to do it with a minimum of hassle or sacrifice? Want to do it pretty quickly too? If so, keep reading. I may have just the weight loss plan for you.. .and if you do it the way you are supposed to, it is totally healthy too.

Now, it’s time for my disclaimer: I’m not a doctor or nutritionist so I can’t advise you medically. So you need to talk to your doctor before you start any weight loss or diet plan. He can tell you what you can do, what you can’t do and what you should do.

Make sure your weight loss is done safely, there really isn’t any other way.

Now, I will tell you about the “diet” plan I used and I lost almost a pound a day.. in was a healthy plan too. And, in case you are wondering the word diet is in quotes because that word can really conjure up the wrong ideas.

For the purpose of this article I use the word diet to mean what I eat and how much and how often. I don’t mean diet in the terms of starving myself or hardly eating anything at all and feeling hungry and deprived (which is a dumb method and doesn’t work for the long term anyway).

So, here is the easy ways to lose weight that I used and I lose 6 pounds in one week:

1. First, I ate more food during my day! Weird huh? But I didn’t just fill up on high calorie low nutritional value food. I ate food that fueled my body. Food that kept my metabolism burning hot.

That means that no matter what I was doing; watching t.v., sleeping, etc. I was burning more fat. My metabolic “furnace” was just going and going and going.

2. I ate between 5 and 6 times a day. Most of my meals and snacks consisted of the same types of food: some lean protein such as chicken, fish or seafood, some fresh vegetables such as spinach or a salad, and some small amount of carbs such as a little rice or small portion of pasta.

I would also have fruit during the day. Mostly I concentrated on what I was putting into my body. I tried to concentrate of foods that were going to provide my body with needed nutrients, not just useless calories.

3. During the first week I love 6 pounds and at that time I wasn’t doing anything different except eating these small, nutritious meals throughout the day. I hadn’t increased my exercise at all. I did make sure to drink more water too.

I’ve never been a big fan of all the weight loss pills, potions and gadgets. I think easy ways to lose weight are really just about giving your body what it needs, in the right quantities and at the right times. That is what my “diet” is all about.
