The natural and healthy way of weight loss

Three basic underlying principles for natural weight loss :

1. Eat nutrient heavy food than calorie based foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables and a lot of salads are nutrient heavy food.
2. Cook your own food, instead of pre-packaged food.
3. Lead a healthy lifestyle with a focus on health centric than weight centric.

Let us explain in the details :

1. On many weight-loss diets, eating means giving up one of the most natural of human pleasures— the pleasure of eating! It means giving up the delicious tastes and aromas of food, giving up the pleasures of shared meals with family and friends, and giving up our very self-determination with respect to food choices and food portion sizes.
2. Many weight-loss diets ask us to temporarily step out of our lives and to turn our lives completely over to a predetermined script not of our making. We are often asked to build our breakfasts, lunches, and dinners around foods that we didn’t select, cook, or even choose from a list of favourites. By letting someone else make all of these decisions for us, and by stepping out of our normal role as human beings whose everyday lives include the joys of eating, we are told that our chances of losing weight will improve.
3. Various studies repeatedly show that weight loss works best when we practice self-determination and self-regulation in our everyday food choices, when we enjoy the foods we eat, and when we make healthy lifestyle choices at every step along the way during weight loss.
4. It’s difficult to overstate the benefits of normal, everyday life circumstances for healthy and successful weight loss.  And when we give ourselves permission to be human and to make some mistakes while enjoying the natural pleasures of food, we optimize our weight loss chances.
5. Selecting and preparing your own meals is one of the best ways to help you lose weight, save money, and make healthy eating a regular part of your lifestyle; you don’t experience this from a temporary diet.
6. The best approach to maintain weight loss is to follow the health-centric approach than weight centric. Instead of stepping out of our lives to follow some temporary and unfamiliar diet plan, we need to step further into our lives by focusing on long-term lifestyle habits. It’s being healthy and living a healthy lifestyle regardless of their body size on any given day.
7. An abundance of nutrient-rich foods is available to us if we choose to select them while gyms and playgrounds can keep us active and help burn off those extra calories.
8. The Healthiest Foods are nutrient-rich foods. These foods deliver a small number of calories that they contain more nutrients than calories. Nutrient-Rich  Foods = Maximum Nutrients /Minimal Calories
9. The classification of food as nutrient-rich reflects its ability to provide a wealth of nutrients i.e. vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other health-promoting compounds. Nutrient-poor foods are ones that provide a small number of nutrients, but a large number of calories; these include processed refined, and fast foods.
10. Fresh Fruits, Salads, and Vegetables are Among the Most Nutrient-Rich Foods. The more fruits, salads, and vegetables, the easier it will be for you to get the nutrients you need for optimal health at a “caloric cost” so low that you will easily lose excess weight.
