People are intrigued by the skinny. They wonder what it really takes for them to get the figure they have or if they were handed down their figures by lucky genes. They wonder if they got lucky. People usually always believe that the thin work really, really hard at staying thin.

It might be, then again, it might not

Those who are really thin likely work really hard to stay thin. These are the folks who watch every single calorie that crosses their hips and eat rabbit food with no dressing.

On the other hand there are other thin individuals who make thin look easy.

Naturally thin people have many traits in common that help to maintain their thin figures. After interviewing hundreds of naturally skinny folks over the course of 14 years, Ive come with seven skinny secrets they have in common. You might be able to identify with some of them and you also might be able to make a few slight shifts that would help you to become naturally thin too.

1. These people have thin thinking. They know they can stay thin forever and make comments like Im little, or Im not going to be able to eat all of that. Their self talk is different than others. Their actions to circumstances and events are different. Food is not their placebo when a pet dies or they have to do something unpleasant. To them food is just food. It may taste good, they enjoy eating it, but it isnt there for anything but to be used as fuel for their bodies.

2. The naturally thin dont diet. Its true. These naturally thin men and women would never think of dieting. Why, because theyve never had to and never thought of themselves any other way, but skinny. When asking thin people if they worry about gaining weight, they most always say something to the voice of, no and when I ask why not? they say because I never have been overweight.

3. The naturally thin dont mix emotions and food. If the thin are sad, they cry or call a friend. If they are angry, they go work out or punch their pillows. There is little to no crossover between emotions and eating. It simply doesnt make sense to them. The only reason food is ever thought of is because they get hungry ” thats it. If they are not hungry, but sad ” they will deal with their sadness. Dealing with emotions in an emotional way is commonplace for this thin group.

4. Naturally thin people dont have to eat to be sociable. Shuld a thin person go to a bar-b-que and not be hungry, they dont have any problem mixing and talking but not eating. Whenever they happen to get hungry, they grab something to eat, but not until they are hungry. They are there to enjoy the socializing with family and friends. They dont know the meaning of the term grazing.

5. Naturally thin people eat what they love. They would never think of eating celery sticks unless they were craving celery sticks. And when they are hungry, they eat foos they crave. They never deprive themselves of something by saying no, I cant have that. They know they can eat anything they want when they are hungry. They dont say no to any food unless they are sensitive or allergic to specific foods.

6. Mindless eating to numb the senses is something thin people dont do. They are always concious of the effect that what they are eating has on their bodies. You would never find them at the theater with their hand in the bottom of an almost empty popcorn bucket wondering if they ate it all. Thin people know how hungry they are before they sit down to a meal and how full they are while or after they finish eating.. They are ignorant about diets, calories and other aspects of food.

7. Naturally thin people almost never overeat. There is nothing worse to this group of thin individuals, than overeating. They hate how it sinks their energy level and forces their bellys to protrude. Yuck! This extreme discomfort keeps them from overeating and reinforces this negative feeling. The average naturally thin person only overeats two percent of the time.

See, there is a difference in their mindset and their actions.

You’ve learned that it’s not your genetics or luck; its not the quality or types of food that determines whether these thin individuals gain weight. Its about how they eat, when they eat, their connection with their body and the freedom to choose all types of foods.

So, now that you know all this, if you are considering losing weight, there is no time like the present and dieting isnt necessary as the naturally thin dont.
