7 Fat Loss Tips that Will Help You Lose More Weight

By Davy Jones

There are hundreds of diets out there. And each diet has its own unique rules, some of them being total opposites. But what all have in common is the promise of a fabulous looking body. If you bother to read a couple of these fast weight loss diets you will start wondering if it is worth the effort to follow such a diet. Here are 7 dieting tips you can use to lose weight without all that hassle:

1)Buy a scale. I know you hate seeing that big number on it but it will motivate you to take action. It will be there to measure your results and keep in check your weight if you decide to go back to your old eating habits. If you can't stand the idea of having a scale in your house use your clothes as a measure. Are your clothes becoming looser or tighter?

2)Eat healthy food. Avoid eating junk food and sweets. Stop going out and eating fast food. Your friends can eat whatever they want as long as you stick to your salad with some low fat grilled meat. It' s also tasty.

3)Stay on your feet more. At least 10 minutes from each hour should be spent on your feet. Get out of that comfy chair and move around the office. If you can do some light stretching the better. This way you increase your metabolic rate and prevent it from dropping down. A faster metabolism means you burn more fats.

4)Schedule your meals and snacks. If your body never goes hungry it will stop hanging on to the excess calories and it will find ways to burn them. Starving your body will help you lose a couple of pounds fast but you will become even fatter in the long run. Never ever starve your body.

5)You don't really need to eat all the food you are eating now. Probably you are overeating at each and every meal. Eat smaller portions and always leave some food on the plate. You should never feel stuffed after eating a meal. Also you should never feel hungry either.

6)Be careful what you drink. Often we think we are fat because of what we eat not what we drink. Soft drinks are full of sugar. Even diet soft drinks make you gain weight. So stick to water or fresh fruit juices from now on. Sweet wines are also fattening.

7)Baby steps lead to great results. You cannot change your life overnight but you can make little changes constantly and soon you will be having a much healthier lifestyle. Start by eating a healthy breakfast and taking a half an hour walk 3 times a week. As time passes eat less fast food and eat more whole food. Small changes add up believe me. Soon you will be much healthier and happier.
