2. No Soft Drinks and Sodas: if ever a liquid packed pounds, soft drinks and sodas are that liquid. Soft drinks contain carbonic acid, drinking these raises the acidity of blood.

5. Eat Breakfast: many people approach weight loss by skipping meals, especially the morning meal. Research as shown that skipping breakfast actually accelerates the build up of fat. The reason is that skipping breakfast causes a feeling of being famished and then you just overeat at lunch. Eating breakfast, even a breakfast smoothie helps to avoid weight gain and helps in weight loss too.

6. Exercise: For healthy weight loss, a vigorous exercise routine for 30 minutes a day 5 times a week should be followed. Keep your body well hydrated. Outdoor cardio workouts like cycling, running, hiking, swimming, etc are great for weight loss and toning of the body. Don't go straight for very intense exercise straight away, try to start off slowly and then gradually build your stamina.

7. Balanced Diet: finally, you should re-examine and overhaul your overall diet. Your diet should be a supplier of essential nutrients to your body. Health professionals recommend taking 35-40% of protein in the daily diet. Fats come second, around 25-30% of the diet, but these don't include greasy fast food or French Fries. The healthiest fats come from natural foods such as olive oil or avocado oils. Carbohydrates, especially the refined simple kind, should be kept low as they are the first line of nutrients the body converts to energy and then fat. Your best buy for vitamins are fresh fruits and vegetables.
