A.M. and P.M. Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss is a DVD available from Amazon for less than $15.00. The advantages of yoga in the morning and evening are that the regular exercise helps keep your body pliable and can help to improve your metabolism. It is also a good stress reliever.
Water is an inexpensive, but very helpful aid in weight loss. Drinking water fills you up to quench your appetite. It also helps to purify your body of toxins.

If you travel a lot, a laptop can be a smart investment to help you lose weight. Why? Most laptops include DVD players and you can buy a whole range of fitness DVDs to help with your exercise routine when you are away from home. A moderate exercise routine like gentle yoga is great for popping in your laptop in a hotel room. It ensures that you will be able to continue your fitness routine even when you are traveling.
Organic unwaxed lemons are a useful weight loss tool. I always buy half a dozen when I visit my local health food store. Organic unwaxed lemons are wonderful for adding flavour to soups, salad dressings and water. I slice a few lemons and add them to cold water to make it taste extra refreshing. The flavour that organic unwaxed lemons contribute to food and drinks will keep your taste buds satisfied and you will be less likely to choose unhealthy foods.
A pedometer is another product that can help you to lose weight. Carrying a pedometer with you will make you more aware of how much walking you do each day. Setting yourself a daily goal for walking will have you taking the stairs and leaving the car behind more often; this will help you to move closer to your weight loss goal.
Joining a natural weight loss group can also help give you support to lose weight. A weight loss group need not be expensive or formal, you could simply band together with some friends who want to lose weight naturally. Get together for activities like walking, hiking or biking. Top it off with a healthy lunch at a friend’s house or an organic café. You’ll be surprised at how enjoyable eating healthier can be!
A final organic, natural and FREE weight loss solution is, simply, sleep. People who get less sleep tend to eat more. If your body is tired, it is often a natural reaction to seek more energy in food. Getting plenty of sleep will make you feel more energetic and rested, and less prone to overeating.
