Natural Ways to Lose 100 Pounds

The idea of trying to lose 100 pounds can seem daunting and hard to do. With so much weight to lose, it can be difficult to know the best natural way to do it. Any weight-loss program that will help you lose 100 pounds or more should be very gradual, and should improve the health of your body.

Eat Pure Foods

• Replace foods that are processed or packaged with foods that are as whole as possible, or in their natural state. These foods include vegetables of all kinds, fresh fruits, lean cuts of meat, chicken (without skin), and whole grains such as rice and oats. Pure foods will contain high levels of vitamins, fiber, and minerals, and low levels of sugars, fat, and salt. Check labels, and avoid foods that contain any artificial additives, such as coloring and preservatives.

Drink Water

• Increase your intake of water to at least 64 oz. per day. Water hydrates the organs and systems of the body, making the metabolism speed up and digestion function better. When the metabolism increases and the digestive system can expel waste more efficiently, weight loss will be easier. Try filling a water bottle with filtered water and carry it around with you to sip on throughout the day.

Start Moving

• Get your body moving as much as possible. Start by walking for a short distance, such as across a parking lot or around a block. Gradually increase your distance until you can walk continuously for 30 minutes. Any kind of movement can help, whether it's vacuuming, dancing, playing with children, or sweeping the floor. The more you move, the faster your weight loss will be.
