The following are the weight loss secrets that will make it possible to lose weight and keep it off forever. In reality it is not much of a secret, it is hidden right there under your nose. Since you may have considered one of the many options available, you simple have overlooked the obvious.

There are three pillars to successful weight loss. Also, there is a fourth step that you can take if you wish. The following are the three steps that are necessary to

losing weight quick and efficiently. In the process you will become healthier and keep those extra pounds off forever.

Step 1- You absolutely, positively must make up your mind. In most of the articles that you read this is stated as establishing a goal. In reality, it is much more than that.

This goal has to be so firmly implanted in your being that it over rides all of your other programming. For the immediate future this has to be the guiding principle of your life. It is simply not enough to write down your ideal weight

or to put pictures of models on your fridge.

Ghandi referred to this as making a personal vow. However it is that you accomplish this, your commitment must be absolute. When you accomplish this first step, every action that you take will bring you closer to your goal and this even includes your missteps.

Step 2- I never get tired of repeating this. Dieting does not work. Equally true is that becoming fat does not happen in a vacuum. It is your lifestyle that brought you to this moment in time. Therefore, it is your lifestyle that must change.

There is no doubt in my mind that there are foods that are made for human consumption. You response would be, duh. If, however, this was so obvious, no one would be fat and no one would get sick.

If you stop and think about it, animals in nature do not get degenerative diseases. Animals in nature do not experience heart problems, high blood pressure or cance. They certainly do not get fat.

But, it you take an animal and domesticate it, he or she will develop many of the same diseases that we get. The conclusion is that each species has a group of foods that enables it to grow and thrive.

The same thing is true about humans. The foods that we should not eat are fast foods, processed or prepared foods. We are designed to eat natural foods. This group of foods includes whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruit.

I am not saying that you have to live like a monk. What I am saying is that your weight and health will be in proportion to how much good or bad food you eat.

Anyway, the second secret is not to diet, but to change your lifestyle. Once this is done you will begin to lose weight, regain your health and keep it off without any effort.

Step 3- If you don't already, you should have a daily exercise program. This does not have to be difficult or unpleasant. Find something that you enjoy doing and do it everyday for about an hour. Or, you can rotate different activities on a daily basis.

Exercise will accomplish much more than taking off those extra pounds. A daily exercise program will improve your mood, increase your energy and boost. As a result, you will find it that much easier to accomplish your weight loss goals.

That's pretty much it. If you wish to kick start your weight loss program you can consider using a natural herbal weight loss supplement.

Some, but not all, natural weight loss supplements are made from herbs. Some of them can be extremely effective along side a comprehensive weight loss program. Using natural herbal supplements can be a great way to

produce some quick results. The nice thing about this is that the right herbal products are mild and product no harmful side effects.

Finally, here is the biggest secret of all. Understanding what you have just read is not enough. You must focus and take action. It really comes down to priorities. In other words, just how important is this to you?
