Ways To Lose Weight Fast

It's not only professionals who know ways to lose weight fast, regular people post some ideas too.

Eat grilled or boiled meat such as steak and chicken instead of fried meat. Add spices to make it taste even better.

Give up the soda. If you drink a soda or two every day you are adding empty calories. If you find it hard to stop completely, cut back at first and drink water instead. Those are empty calories so stop drinking it and substitute water. Note that the average person adds 90,000 calories a year from drinking juice or soda. WOW! That's a great tip.

If there's no junk food at home you can't eat it. Make a list, stick to the list.

Give yourself a treat. When you skip a food for a long time you end up craving it more, and eventually binging. Taste a treat once a week, or even once a day in smaller quantities. Don't go crazy, keep it in moderation.

Use a smaller plate to trick yourself into thinking you're eating more than you really are. (Not only are you tricking yourself, even if the trick doesn't work it's easier to stop eating when the plate is finished and there's no more food available.)

Get poor. Gamble away your money so you can't afford food. (Um, no. That's a bad idea.)

Stay away from fad diets. They starve you and then you eat more when the diet is over.

Do exercise many times a day. If you're watching television, do some push ups or crunches. (That's a great idea to increase caloric burn.)

Measure your food. If you have junk food make sure to measure and control the portion. (Portion control is a big part of a healthy diet. Most restaurants and even people at home serve too much food.)

Get really sick. After a month in the hospital I had lost 25 pounds. (Another bad idea. It's best to stick to ways to lose weight while remaining healthy. After all, the ultimate goal is good health.)

Stick to something long enough to repeat it a few times, then you can coast. (It's said that if we repeat a thing 21 times it becomes a habit. Sometimes the number is different, but the idea is the same. Will power is only needed to repeat something enough times for it to {become|turn into a habit.)

When you eat too quickly the body doesn't have time to feel full. Go slow.
