The Six Natural Steps for

Permanent Weight Loss

By Russ Nagamori

Think about it this for a moment: we are all

habitual beings. Everything we do is by habit.

Everyone has their own neural programs that

will work for or against them every second of

every day.

I've noticed that keeping belly fat down to a

minimum and being healthy there are specific

habits that a person must apply. You will find

these set of principals in the lives of all athletes

and people that have achieved optimum health.

The following are the six of the healthiest

habits.

Principal #1 – The Right Mental Attitude

Having the right mental attitude is the primary

principal because it is the cause to your results.

Your mental attitude is the way you interact

with your body, people and environment. It is

your outlook on life, in other words. Change the

way you think about health and fitness and

through decisive action, your results will

change.

It's more easy to think something negative than

positive, for some. Conformity, created by most

of society, has had an effect on this. Think

about it; it's wrong to make a mistake –

according to society. For one person to go in

the opposite direction than the rest of the

group - they call it impossible. Society breeds

people to be slaves and to do what they don't

enjoy doing. We have to be able to look beyond

that. To think with the right mental attitude

means to set a goal and go for it. Look for

opportunities to eat proper and be physically

active and to make time to do so.

Your habits control your outcome and in order

to change your outcome - you must change

your habits. Habits first take the form of

thought. After thinking and behaving in a

certain way and repeating the exact process

over and over again will create a habit. The

more a new habit is used, the more the habit

will grow stronger and will be harder to break.

You can create a new habit to replace an old

habit that is not working for you. Thus you will

get different results than what you have been

getting.

You must know where you are and where you

want to go. Without a worthy goal in mind, you

have no direction. In order to get to where you

want to go, it’s also essential for you to have a

plan and take it step by step, day by day to get

there. There is no such thing as a quick fix that

is healthy. There are no shortcuts.

There are good foods and bad foods and there

is no magic bullet or magic pill you can take to

lose weight. You have to take 100% control of

your own body and be 100% responsible for

what you do to it or for it.

Weigh yourself and write out a statement of

how much weight you want to lose and to read

it daily. Self-control (self-discipline meaning

control over the body and the mind) must be

implemented to lose weight, gain muscle, or get

fit. The purpose of that statement is to keep

you focused on realizing your goal. Nature will

not bend its rules for anyone. If we want

something – it is our very own responsibility to

go out and get it.

Principal #2 – The Habit of Healthy Eating

For the most part, most people tend to their

suppressed emotions by stuffing their face with

comfort food. Sugar makes you biologically feel

good and so does fat. By feel good mean

emotionally. It's become a trend that leads to

disease and is a factor that could determine

obesity and the only way out of it is to add

more nutritional food to take its place.

Do you now know the five categories of food

and what about the three base classes of

nutrients are? Empty calories will do no good

for the body but add on extra weight.

Technically there is one thing the body needs –

energy. Energy comes in different forms for the

body and realistically there are 3 key nutrients

when you narrow everything down; proteins,

fats, and carbohydrates. A balance of all three

is what the body really needs. Along the way we

have to filter out the bad fats from the good

fats, the bad carbohydrates from the

appropriate ones, and eating protein foods that

are also nutrient rich.

Principal #3 – The Habit of Daily Exercise

Exercising is crucial when a person wants to lose

weight in bigger quantities and fast. There is no

other way around it – physical activity cannot

be dismissed. The purpose of exercise is to keep

the body in shape. Burning more energy than

you take in will burn those extra fat cells. You

don't have to exercise for hours on end. You

don't have to buy a gym membership. Being

physically active habitually is like keeping

physically active daily on auto pilot and that the

small habits count just as much if not more than

the habits that bring big results.

Walking and jogging are the best ways to burn

off energy when starting out. Stretching is not

necessary for light exercising but if you chose to

stretch before your light daily exercise you can

stretch for short amounts of time prior. We

didn’t stretch before we decide to walk for the

first time and there were no repercussions from

doing so either. Stretching is not necessary

before light exercises.

Light exercises mixed with natural

strengthening exercises can be done every day.

Don’t fool yourself in taking a “day off” only to

be absent from your next day’s exercise. Taking

a day off one day and then another day starts

to develop as a bad habit or reinforce the old

way of doing things. When you are developing

new habits – repetition is the key. And after

enough times of repeatedly implementing new

thoughts and behavior, you will start to do so

unconsciously.

Principal #4 – The Habit of Sleep and

Relaxation

We need a balance of both. Sleep rejuvenates

the soul and relaxation is an integral part of

living. Proper sleep is important. Sleep helps

repair the body and keep the immune system

up and running. Avoid sleep debt. We need at

least 7- to 8- hours or more of non-interrupted

sleep. Depriving ourselves of sleep will have

many negative consequences. Relaxation also

consists of enjoying a hobby or something you

love to do. It could also be a set time where you

sit in silence for a few moments - some people

may also want to start practising meditation.

Principal #5 – The Habit of Elimination

Eliminating foods you don’t need and don’t

benefit you is a necessity to optimize the overall

health of your body and to improve your body’s

functions. Elimination of bad foods is necessary

for you to maintain a healthy body.

In order to lose weight in a relatively short

amount of time, you can eliminate sugar, bad

saturated fat, dairy products, and empty

calories. You can also reduce the portion sizes

of carbohydrates you eat slightly while replacing

the bad carbs with good carbs. It is also best to

eliminate, as much as possible, the stress in

your life by making a decision to do so. The

mind affects the body to a high degree and is in

fact what runs the body 24 days, 7 days a week.

You can also achieve this by choosing the

people you hang around with as well as the

environment you live in. The ability of

eliminating stress means to develop self-

control. Self-control is taking control over one’s

own thoughts and actions. In this case, it is the

ability to switch focus from the bad to the

positive.

In simple terms; this habit is about eliminating

anything that pulls you down and will get in the

way of your success. Do you experience toxic

relationships? Is there a food or drink you are

addicted too? What habits could you change

knowing that they don't benefit you? In the

beginning, it will take time and it will take

effort, but in the end - you will win.

Principal #6 – The Habit of Cleansing

Keeping your digestive system clean at all times

will help you maintain a healthy body and also

help you lose weight. Here are 5 ways to help

keep your system clean and in running

condition:

1. Implement the habit of Daily Exercise

2. Do your best in Eliminating Stress

3. Eliminate all saturated fats and red meat

4. Add more fiber into your daily meals

5. Chew your food thoroughly before swallowing

There are more ways to help keep your insides

clean but those five I have noticed work the

best. Also, drink water daily! In fact, always

have nothing but water with your meals. Not

only will it help the travel of food through your

system but will also keep your urinary tract

clean, too!
