How Can You Lose Weight For Free

For those who want to lose weight for free, what is the secret?  One idea is to stop eating.  Then you won't buy food so it will be free. That's silly and absurd  But it's no mystery when people look at themselves in the mirror.  They're fat.  But it isn't hard to lose weight without losing money.  Here are some ideas.

Come down with an extreme illness.  As long as you get better, serious illness is a great way to shed pounds.  People lose weight while in the hospital.  That's as ridiculous as it seems.  So forget it.

Losing weight is a snap if you severely cut calories.  That means eating fewer calories than you burn.  Drink nothing but water to force your body to burn fat reserves.  If you have the constitution to keep this up for a whole year, you're set.  All of that isn't serious, except for the part about eating less than you burn.  It can't be only water, but replacing soda and juice with water will drop out 90,000 calories, or 25 pounds, each year.  So cut down on portions and drink the water, not the koolaid.

Exercise every day until complete exhaustion.  That means don't stop until you can't even crawl.  Remember those Moses movies?  Did you ever see a fat slave working on those pyramids?  Back to reality, exercise to burn calories is important to losing weight.  It doesn't have to be hours and hours each day, but 30 minutes of aerobic exercise seven days a week is great.  If you can't keep it up for seven days a week then six is better than five and five is better than four and even one is better than none.

Bodybuilders burn more calories just standing around.  So use a personal trainer, preferably one that really dislikes you, and have them push you to a minimum of three hours a day, seven days a week of gut wrenching muscle building.  Become the world's strongest man.  Of course, in the real world weight training doesn't have to be to the level of a marine drill instructor.  3-5 days a week of weight work to build lean muscle will help keep off the pounds.  In the long run muscles burn more calories than fat, even without moving.

You don't need miracle pills or fad diets to lose weight.  It doesn't take a lot of money, or any money.  Lose weight for free through exercise and healthy eating.  Consume less calories than you use.
