My next simple natural weight loss tip is:Don’t forget to K*I*S*S.
(K*I*S*S is an acronym, it is usually translated to Keep It Simple Stupid, although I prefer to use an alternate word for the last “S”, such as “sweetheart” or “sunshine”.)
Keep your weight loss plans simple. The easier your plan is to follow, the more likely you are to succeed. If you need to carry a 300 page nutritional reference, or log into a website to check how many points you are eating, or eat certain foods on alternating days, etc., the less likely you are to keep going. Make it easy on yourself, by adopting small changes that add up to big weight loss.
As I said in a previous tip, think about becoming healthier, not about becoming thinner. Make healthy choices, every time you do, the next time becomes easier. (It works the other way, too, make unhealthy choices, and the next time you have a choice to make, it’s easier to pick the less healthy one.)
Today’s natural weight loss tip is: Don’t forget to KISS.

My next simple natural weight loss tip is: Keep busy.
Many times we eat not because we are hungry, but because we are bored. The next time you feel the craving for a snack, do something else instead.
It’s not that important what you do, it can be a chore you have been avoiding, or working on a hobby, or learning a new language or skill, even something as simple as taking a walk.
If you are truly hungry, you will still be hungry afterwards, but if you were just bored, you will likely forget about the craving entirely.
It is much easier not to consume calories you do not need than it is to burn off those calories once the body has stored them as fat. Using this tip and keeping yourself busy not only will reduce the calories you eat, but, depending on what you choose to do instead of eat, may help you burn some calories.
Today’s natural weight loss tip is: Keep busy.

My next simple natural weight loss tip is: Change your focus.
It’s easy when you are dieting to become obsessed with what you are eating, and how many calories in every food, and ow much fat it contains. I am going to suggest that you stop focusing on those things.
Stop focusing on losing weight or having a smaller waist, or fitting into a smaller dress size. Think instead about becoming healthier every day.
If you are focused on becoming healthier, and make choices about what you eat, and what you do (including exercising) every day, and how it helps or hinders you in your goal of becoming healthier, weight loss will happen as a by-product of your health improving.
You may also find it easier (and more fun) to keep your mind focused on the positive; what you can eat and what you can do to make yourself healthier, rather than on what you can’t eat so you can lose weight.
Today’s natural weight loss tip is: Change your focus.
