How to Lose Weight

Want to know how to lose weight without dieting or feeling hungry all the time? As you've probably heard, diets don't work. If you starve your body, you'll just gain more weight back when you go off the diet. This is because once the "famine" is over, your body naturally wants to take in even more calories to protect itself from the next famine.

Believe it or not, the secret on how to lose weight is not to go on a diet at all.

There's one weight loss plan that allows you to eat as much as you want whenever you want. No, I'm not talking about Atkins or any other lose-weight-fast fad. The way of eating I'm talking about is far, far older than any fad diet that is really just some author's latest attempt at getting rich.

If you want to know how to lose weight, the secret is to look into the past. I'm not talking about your past but into the past of all humanity.

Do you know what our far distant ancestors ate before they learned how to farm? They didn't eat rice, they didn't eat wheat (bread and flour), they didn't eat corn, and they didn't eat potatoes. Most of those things can't even be consumed unless they're cooked (which humans didn't figure out right away).

No, our long-dead ancestors ate meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit. Now and then they might find a special treat of nuts or honey, but for the most part, their diets consisted of fish, meat, vegetables, and fruit. None of that was deep fat fried either. There was no McDonald's drive through back then. There was no chocolate, soda, or coffee back then either.

If you want to know how to lose weight, just follow that diet!

Now wait a minute, you're thinking. Didn't primitive man only live 20 or 30 years?

Actually, by looking at the fossil records we know that while the odds were against long life, it was because there was no understanding of disease prevention, no way to treat infections, no way to conduct safe childbirths, and no way to hunt food without putting your life in danger (if you think you take your life in your hands when you commute home from work on the freeway, imagine heading out with a spear to hunt a mammoth!).
