Ways to Lose Weight & Stay Slim:

Here are some interesting additional ways to lose weight and keep it off. Creative approaches often work better.

One sure method of reducing weight is by practising what is known as "fletcherism." It was discovered in 1898 by american Horace Fletcher. At 40, Fletcher considered himself an old man. He was 50 pounds overweight, contracted flu every six months and constantly complained of indigestion and a tired feeling. After a long and deep study, he made some important discoveries and prescribed the rules for "Fletcherism" which are as follows:

1. Chew your food to a pulp or milky liquid until it practically swallows itself.
2. Never eat until hungry.
3. Enjoy every bite or morsel, savouring the flavour until it is swallowed.
4. Do not eat when tired, angry, worried, and at meal-time refuse to think or talk about unpleasant subjects.

Horace Fletcher followed these rules for five months. As a result he lost more than 60 pounds and felt better than he had for 20 years, and many people have followed his advice to health over the years. A weight reducing programme built on Fletcherism works wonders and is well worth a try.
