3 Easy Steps To Permanently Maintain Your Perfect Weight

It is stated that 95% of people who lose weight regain it within a few months or years; recent research shows that roughly 20% of overweight people successfully manage to keep the pounds from coming back on. Rather than counting every calorie or scratching entire food groups from your diet, make healthful eating — along with fitness and stress reduction — a part of your daily lifestyle.
To lose weight naturally does not require you to totally give up all your favorite activities and food. Losing weight naturally only requires you to first believe that you can lose weight and will lose weight. If you do not believe you can lose weight then you are right. You have to visualize how you will look in the mirror from when you lose all the weight you desire. Visualize what type of close you will wear and type of hair style. Once you have built up your belief that you can lose weight then you have to be willing to lose the weight wholeheartedly and be committed to do whatever it takes to make it happen.
The next step is for you to focus on being healthy as opposed to focusing on losing weight. When you focus on being healthy the weight will naturally just fall off. You will not have to think about your weight any more. Be sure to consult with your doctor or an alternative natural doctor that can help you set sensible goals based on a proper weight for your height, build and age.
Here are few steps to losing weight naturally:
Step One:
Vegetables should make up the largest portion of your diet, as the antioxidants in fresh produce have a powerful effect against the free radicals in our bodies.  Since weight loss boils down to consuming fewer calories than you burn, portion control is a non-negotiable element. To safely lose weight, shoot for a deficit of 250 to 500 calories per day — anything greater could leave you very hungry and more vulnerable to impulsive indulgences with bad-for-you food.
Don't underestimate the importance of drinking water for weight loss. Drink plenty of water and maybe 1 glass of juice everyday. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables, fruits, and grains. Substitute white sugar with natural sweeteners, such as, Agave, Turbinado, brown rice syrup, etc.  Be sure to portion your food amount. Choose whole fresh foods rather than processed food products. In other words, don't just avoid processed and refined white bread, but also limit enriched whole wheat bread, which is loaded with processed nutrients and preservatives. Fresh whole grain bread straight from the bakery would be better, while a dish of cooked wheat berries would be even more nutritious. The greater amount of food you eat that is whole and unmodified (rather than being a food product), the more healthful (and — believe it or not — satisfying) your diet will be. You may find that by choosing organic whole foods, you'll need less to feel satiated.
Step Two:
Properly warming up before exercise will prolong your ability to work out & increase your Fat Burning potential.
Do at least 30 minutes to 1 hour of exercise, like brisk walking and running most days of the week.
Drinking plenty of water can help give you more energy for exercising.
By staying properly hydrated throughout the day, you will deter false hunger pangs and be able to more easily discern your true hunger levels.
Staying hydrated fights fatigue, giving you more energy to stick with your exercise plan.
Step Three:
Stress can cause your adrenal glands to release adrenaline and cortisol into your bloodstream, which in turn can cause the body to conserve fat.
Meditation, yoga, prayer, baths, music, tai chi, hypnosis and breathing exercises all may induce the relaxation response.
The true secret to weight loss is a very simple one, although it can be a challenge.
Just a few small changes that you make in your every-day lifestyle will help you lose the extra pounds without resorting to the expense (both financial and physical) of fad diets.
