What do I mean by 'natural fat loss'?

Natural fat loss is living in such a way that your body becomes the very best fat incinerating furnace it can be for life, day in day out. It is not about losing weight. That is the result but in many ways not the real goal. The real goal is to put into place the habitual behaviors and attitudes that will keep you lean for life.

Of course natural fat loss can only occur if you are eating clean with a well managed structure for fuelling your body precisely the vast majority of the time. Putting the processes for shopping, cooking and packing clean food every day is what will determine whether you lose body fat.

The other half of the puzzle though is the mental game that confounds and ultimately defeats many people. For fat loss to be truly 'natural' it must not feel like a burden or represent a denial or deprivation of any sort. The lifestyle habits above need to be adhered to but a positive and mentally balanced attitude towards food and the process itself are your keys to victory.

Why?

Because it fat loss is not just a simple by product of how you live you life rather than a psychological and logistical burden you will eventually crack. Even if you reach your goal, you will have to fight with every ounce of your strength to stay there (or at least it will feel like it) that it makes your life miserable.

Right now I'm planning what I want to cook up for Christmas. It's an enjoyable and exciting process. Am I dreading not being able to eat on Christmas? Am I worried about getting fat?

Hell no. Why would I?

Yet many people who are trying to lose fat do just this. Yet by thinking this way they have made their fat loss process entirely 'unnatural. (If you know how important nutrition is to your success, you'll never worry about gaining weight again ' here's why: http://www.ultimatebodysuccess.com/e-course1.html)

My entire ongoing fat loss process is as natural as can be. Eating clean is such a routine that if I don't, I find myself all day thinking 'well what do I want to eat?'. If I feel like I want something that is not clean food then I will just have it without a second thought.

Seriously, if you know how your body responds to food, it's very easy to pick your battles on your terms. So what does that mean to you? Well, imagine as you're coming into the busy Christmas period where you know for sure your dietary regime is going to be seriously compromised, if you knew how your body responds to what you feed it, you could easily relax your eating habits over the busy period and then once it's over, flick the switch, revert back to cleaning up your food and let your body do what it naturally knows how to do ' that is shed the extra pounds you've gained by eating natural clean food. You see, in conjunction with sensible training, eating clean is where most of your weight loss is achieved.

It is this peace of mind that is the key to natural fat loss. Counting calories, supplements and diets by themselves are only a temporary solution at best. A lean body for life must achieved through a different path.
