Simple & No Cost Ways to Losing Weight Naturally

By Lisa Shanken
March 9, 2010

This may not be what you want to hear, but natural and healthy weight loss is the only way to maintain your weight...period. There are thousands of weight loss pills and diet programs that promise they are the ultimate solution for getting rid of excess weight, but most are short-term solutions and some do not really work at all. Taking pills is not the answer (sorry!).

Losing weight the natural way is the safest solution to weight problems. Here are some natural weight loss methods:

Proper Diet

Eating lots of fruits and vegetables and avoiding fatty foods is a good start.  Such foods clog up your internal system. Fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber and help in the elimination of unwanted toxins from your body.

Drink Plenty of Water

Drink plenty of water.

There are people who mistake beverages as water. Soda, coffee or tea can never substitute for water intake requirements. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to help in body waste elimination. Drinking lots of water is one of the best ways to natural weight loss.

Exercise

Walking is the simplest form of exercise.

People who lead sedentary lives tend to accumulate fats on their bodies faster than those who are physically active. Exercise does not have to be going to a gym or health club. Try something simple like walking. You can take a walk with your pet or your children once day.  You can also climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator.  If your office is on the 10th floor, go down the 8th floor and take the stairs. You can increase the number of stair flights as you go along the routine.

These are simple and no-cost ways to natural weight loss.  Discipline is vital. Once you have decided to lose weight then be firm. There are many other resources for natural weight loss and use this to your advantage.

I am dedicated to helping you in your quest to lose weight for the long term.

Have you tried pills or 'lose weight fast' programs that haven't worked? Please comment here with your experiences as they will help all of my readers.

When most people hear the word mindfulness, they imagine sitting still with eyes closed, breathing calmly while thoughts slowly drift away.

Testimonials

Lisa’s weight loss plan really gave me a new insight to healthy eating and living. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2015. Healthy living/easting/exercise has become very important to me and my family and this program really helped me get even more on the course with this and helped me lose weight.

Danielle D, Great Neck, NY

When I heard about the 10 Day Weight Loss Challenge, I wasn’t sure if it would be a good fit, since as a physician, I understand nutrition and health (and therefore knew the dangers of fad diets, etc…), and I do my best to exercise (though not always enough). But as a single mother of 2, it’s still very challenging ti “fit in all in” (including cooking healthy meals for my children) due to my busy schedule. And when my time is short, bad habits crop up and weight gain follows.

Lisa has made an enormous contribution to my health and strength. I have seen and felt the most fantastic changes in an amazingly short time.

Chessie F, Boulder, CO

I just wanted to say you were amazing through this 10 day process! I learned so much from you! You were very thorough in all areas of the challenge and got back to us in such a quick manner with our questions. It was a great jump start into a more healthy life style that’s for sure!

Colby E, Boulder, Colorado

I LOVE the recipes, simple, few ingredients, appealing. I like the idea of using the list of staples you provided when i was tempted to cheat!

Phyliss S, Spring House, PA

I worked with Lisa to develop a holistic wellness plan that has allowed personal growth without having to completely change my lifestyle. Her programs are designed around your personal needs, so I always feel like I've gotten the most from my sessions and leave with manageable goals. Lisa's three-prong approach to wellness (fitness, nutrition and health) is helping me live a balanced and grateful life.

Ali S., Boulder, CO

I’ve been through the ringer with different dieting plans through the years. Some helped me lose weight and some didn’t – but it didn’t matter because I would always gain it back. I didn’t know if this 10 day Weight Loss Challenge would be the answer since everyone says they have the “BEST” way to lose weight. But this one seemed to be more doable – like instead of starving myself, keeping track of calories (“been there done that – VERY annoying!”) and things I know I wouldn’t stick to.

Jill W, Park, NY

Lisa, you have been a very positive role model for me! Through the exercise and diet I’m becoming healthy and more positive about my life!!! Thanks!

Melissa B, Boulder, Colorado
