You already know that diets rarely work.

You lose weight for a while, only to put it back on (and more!) when you stop your weight loss program.

So what’s the best way to lose weight naturally and keep that weight off?

In a nutshell, you need to listen to your body.

Instead of eating when “it’s time to eat”, you should eat when you feel hungry. Whether that’s at regular meal times or some other time that your body tells you.

That’s stage 1. The second part is to stop eating when you feel full. Not when you’re so bloated you couldn’t force another morsel of food into you!

This means listening to the triggers you’ve been ignoring for so long…

Eat slowly to give your body a chance to tell you when it’s feeling full. One of the easiest ways of doing this is to put your cutlery or food down between bites. The extra seconds give your body chance to listen to itself.

Don’t worry if you miss a trigger and keep eating for a while longer. This will happen, especially at the start. You’ve been ignoring yourself for so long that it will take time for the habit to change.

Don’t count calories. Just listen to your body instead.

Don’t weigh yourself obsessively. Weigh yourself once a  week if you really must.

Don’t beat yourself up if you slip occasionally. Get back on the path instead.
