What's the method to lose weight for free? Is it a mystery beyond the pyramids, UFO's, ghostly apparitions, or the missing sock? But it's no mystery when people see themselves in the mirror. They're too heavy. But it's pretty plain. Here are some ideas.

Catch a virus. No really, get sick. Serious illness is a great way to lose weight, provided there's a recovery. People lose weight while in the hospice. That's as ludicrous as it seems. So let's get to some real weight loss tips.

Losing weight is as easy as 1-2-3 if you severely cut calories. So what does it mean to you, it means you need to burn more calories than you are eating. Drink nothing but water to force your body to draw on fat reserves. If you have the staying power to do this for weeks or months at a time, even better. Seriously, though, eating less than you use is the way to go. It can't be only water, but substituting soda and juice with water will drop out 90,000 calories, or 25 pounds, each year. Smaller portions, less soda and juice That's the simple key.

Exercise as if the slave master will punish you if you stop moving. Keep up physical activity for hours and hours a day, seven days a week. Remember those Moses movies? Did you ever see a fat slave working on those pyramids? We don't build pyramids any more but we can exercise, in moderation. 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 make seven days a week then six is better than five and five is better than four and even one is better than none.

Bigger muscles mean a faster metabolism and more calorie burning. So strap yourself to the car and pull it for 10 miles a day, with a fat person riding in it. Become the world's strongest person. Ok, so really just weight train in moderation. Keep off the weight y doing some muscle training or aerobic exercise at least three days a week. Muscle does mean a higher metabolism, and in the long run it means less work because you're burning more calories even while standing still.

You don't need miracle pills or fad diets to lose weight. Your budget can even be 0. Lose weight for free through workouts and healthy eating. Consume fewer calories than you use.
