18 Ways to Lose Weight Naturally


Losing weight can be valuable to your health. Here are
some natural ways to shed some pounds:

1. Spices
Spices found in your kitchen can be helpful in shedding
weight. Black pepper, dry ginger, & cinnamon are some of
the spices you should include in your diet.

2. Green Tea
Green tea has an element of natural caffeine. Having 4
cups of green tea daily helps with weight loss. Avoid soft
drinks and sugary juices.

3. Morning wake-up
When you open your eyes in the morning sit up slowly
without the help of your hands. Keep your legs straight out,
lean forward until you feel a slight stretch in your back and
hamstrings. Hold it and then lower yourself flat using your
abs. This helps burn calories and strengthens your core.

4. Stay Hydrated
Drinking lots of water increases the metabolic rate of your
body and helps your body absorb nutrients better. It
eliminates harmful toxins and waste materials from your
body that may impede your metabolism.

5. Eat Fruits
Fruits are a great source of energy and they contain fewer
calories. Fruits help you reduce weight as they contain
vitamins and healthy antioxidants which provide nutrients
to your body and help you stay healthy.

6. Avoid Low-Carb products that are actually full of carbs
Don’t buy low-carb products of high-carbohydrate foods
like cookies, pastas, bars, chocolates, breads, and ice
cream unless you are sure about the ingredients.
Companies often try to trick you with the words Net-Carb
or Low-Carb.

7. Hot Lime Juice With Honey
Having hot lime water with honey in the morning helps
boost your metabolism.

8. Workout
Without exercise your body will never be fit. Exercise burns
extra calories and helps you stay fit and lean.

9. Think Before You Eat
Don’t just stuff food in your mouth. Eat healthy and take
time to eat. When you eat properly you feel full for longer.
The longer you chew the better your body can absorb
nutrients from food.

10. Play Sports
Playing sport is a great way to keep your body moving and
shed extra calories. You can pep up your mood and help
make yourself fit. Playing outdoor games is great exercise
in most places.

11. Make Small Changes In Your Diet Instead Of
Overhauling It
Overhauling your diet completely can be hard and can end
in failure. Make small changes in your diet and follow it.
Sometimes by cutting down unhealthy habits and making
small changes you can lose extra pounds.

12 . Reduce Intake Of Salt
Excess sodium leads to bloating and water weight, it can
also lead to hypertension.

13. Don’t eat within 4 hours of bed
Eating late then going to bed can cause problems. Eating
earlier gives your body enough time to digest your food.
When you eat late then go directly to your bed it hinders
the digestion process and food gets stored as fatty tissue.

14. Eat More Protein
Protein-enriched food helps your body build lean muscle
mass.

15. Eat Smart Meals
Some experts say 4-6 small meals, some say 2 large, pick
what works for you to keep you consistently full and
energized and stick with that.

16. Slow Down
Start eating slowly, this will make you eat less and satisfy
you more. This is a nice trick to lose weight naturally
without making you feel deprived.

17. Stress-Free Sleep
Peaceful and stress-free sleep is important for your health
on many levels. Studies show that people who are
chronically short of sleep suffer more from excess weight
issues.

18. Share your Food
If a dessert it tempting you like mad ask a friend to share
it with you, a few bites taste just as good as the whole
thing, and you can both have a treat for less calories!
