How to Lose Weight With Real Food & Keep It Off Dietless
More people worldwide think about weight loss nowadays than ever before. Most of us have a problem of not living authentically because we forget the simple things of life and get caught up with the constant distractions, hence the new “diets” that come out every week.
Here is what you need to know before looking at how to lose weight.
What causes the weight to begin with:
The correct answer is "it's 1 of 2."
Either it has to do with food (what you eat, how much you eat), or it has to do with your body (something that has happened to your body that drastically slows your body's ability to lose weight or makes your body gain weight too quickly).
Find out which is your problem because you can't solve a problem if you don't know what caused it.
Having Realistic Goals
There might be times when you feel frustrated, but you have to remember, “Just like it took months for something to happen for it to come on, it will take months of that thing unhappening before it comes off.”
How to ACTUALLY Lose the Weight
If your problem is caused by something that has happened to your body, we will discuss that at the end.
If it’s because of food, your answer is in 5 steps:
Make sure everything you eat is REAL FOOD (everyday food that people have been eating for 1000s of years; you know…the things that aren’t made in labs).
Remember, “anything that is in a factory-style package, box, or jar that you would not be able to make at home (if you tried) without buying ingredients you don’t know/have never heard of; you’re better off not eating it.”
Please ensure these foods are as high quality as you can get them.
Go super low on the sugar you eat and the things that turn into sugar fast after they enter your body.
This doesn’t mean you should cut out sugar; make sure you lower it by a lot because too much in your body that you’re not using turns into fat.
If you add more before your body starts to use the fat, it has to get rid of the sugar before it can burn the fat.
You can check this here to know how and why this happens.
Eat more fat. NO, IT’S NOT BAD FOR YOU, AND IT DOESN’T MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT JUST BY EATING IT.
If you want to know why almost the whole world thought eating fat is wrong and why so many people continue to believe it even with the evidence.
Eat when you’re hungry, and STOP when you’re full.
What About Exercise?
You might be thinking, “What about exercise?” Let’s talk about it.
When it comes to losing weight, it’s just a matter of your body burning the excess energy (in the form of fat) it has stored.
AND WE DO NOT MEAN CALORIES.
DON’T GET STRESSED COUNTING THEM.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE THINGS OUR BODIES TURN INTO ENERGY (CARBOHYDRATES, PROTEINS, AND FATS).
Think of them like gasoline for your body; just like your car won’t run without it (unless it’s electric), your body won’t run without energy.
Everything your body does needs energy, even to read this post.
All the things our bodies do in the background (stomach digesting, mind thinking, heart pumping, immune system working, eyes looking, etc) without us having to think about them need energy.
So, you can imagine how much fuel your body burns daily.
Once you understand that fat doesn’t make you fat, that if we eat sugar, it causes us to gain more fat, and that our bodies will not start using the stored fat for energy until they finish using the sugar, you will see that you don’t need to go to the gym two or three times a week to lose weight.
Unless we are not moving all day (like being a statue), we will lose weight by doing regular everyday activities.
If you understand all this, you will know that hitting the gym is unnecessary; just regular, active, everyday activities are enough.
Being active helps your health in general because it has many benefits, including getting your blood pumping, maintaining mobility, lubricating your joints, strengthening your muscles, and lowering your stress.
It’s the same as having a car sit without being used for years. The battery, fuel, tire, brake, seals, and gaskets will all have problems. Our bodies are similar.

Monitoring Progress
You recall when we said -remember, “Just like it took months of something happening for it to come on, it will take months of that thing unhappening before it comes off.”
Look for a good way and time frame that works for you to check your progress.
Make sure this way and time frame don’t make you obsessed because this would cause unnecessary stress and make you feel like nothing happens when a lot happens.
Think of when you live with a child for many years, and you could swear that they have not grown taller, yet one day you turn around, and they are nearing your height or are taller than you.
Don’t worry; we’re not saying it’ll take years, but keep going.
Lifestyle and Behaviour Changes
Our bodies were not senselessly designed.
When you start eating real foods, you will feel much better mentally and physically because your body starts to work with what it knows and is made to work with.
WE ARE NOT TALKING HERE ABOUT CONTINUING TO GO LOW ON CARBS WHEN YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SIMPLY EATING REAL FOODS WITH THE FATS AND ALL THE REAL BREAD, PASTA, AND DESSERTS MADE WITH REAL INGREDIENTS, NOT LAB INGREDIENTS…
You will see how sick you feel when you return to lab-made foods. Your craving for them will become much less because you’re no longer eating things in them that always make you want more.
You will almost start seeing these foods at the grocery stores and checkout stations as inedible.
You will see how you eat much less because you no longer eat things meant to keep you full for only two hours.
Sometimes, a lot of minor health problems you thought you just had to deal with all of a sudden disappear because, without realizing it, you stopped eating the things that caused them to begin with.
We discuss all of this in detail in ‘Sweet Death.’
Overcoming Challenges
It’s no lie; it’ll be challenging in the beginning because so many of these lab foods are made to be addictive, so staying away from them would be like fighting an addiction.
Still, people have done it, and you will get through it. To make it easier for you, the best way we recommend is not to stop eating chemical-filled foods cold turkey.
Keep eating them, but learn about what they do to your body while you still eat them. You’ll subconsciously create a feeling of disgust in your mind. You will naturally stay away from them afterward without much difficulty.
And as we mentioned before, you’ll start to feel sick when you return to them once you only eat real foods.
Keeping it Off
When you reach your goal and choose to stay at that same weight or very near it for the long run, you can either continue to eat the way you used to when trying to lose weight or make sure most of what you eat is fat and all REAL FOOD.
If you have achieved your weight goal and want to ensure that you don’t drastically gain much weight when it comes to food, you can continue to eat REAL FOOD.
However, ensure that sugar and things that turn into sugar fast (carbohydrates) don’t always make up the bulk of your food.
Don’t stress or make it complicated.
The key here is REAL FOODS.
A car can never run appropriately on fake gas.
Speaking to a Professional
This paragraph is for people whose weight gain was caused by something that happened to their bodies.
If this is your issue, keep in mind everything we explained above, but still work with a professional to see how they can help you fix that body/health problem.

Many people have this misconception, but we want you to experience the difference yourself.

Eating REAL food is not complicated, but unfortunately, there is a lot of money involved with making and selling non-real foods, which is why they're everywhere. This makes it more of a hassle to go out and shop or eat without having to keep reading ingredients.
When your system is still addicted to these chemicals, eating out or attending social events can make it tempting, but remember that anything of value is never easy. Every decision comes with a payment, so it's up to the person to choose where they want to take their chances.
The most important thing is for you to be informed of both sides before making a choice.
-
It’s simple: as long as it’s REAL (without the things your body isn’t made to be processing), it’s okay.
When it comes to losing weight, be careful of the added sugars that are usually in so many, if not most, juices. Sugar is a quick way to weight gain.
