1)Know that weight loss will come as a result of creating a calorie deficit, i.e., spending more calories than you eat. However, too large a deficit will slow down your metabolism and be unhealthy. 2)Determine how many calories you are burning using tools available on the internet, then each day eat 500-1000 calories less than you are burning daily.3)Do not eat less than 1200 calories if you are female, or 1500 calories if you are male, as these calories are needed for basic life-sustaining bodily functions. If this formula is adhered to correctly, you will lose weight. 4)Let your conscience be your guide. Keep a log of everything that you eat. Buy a daily planner and write in it everything that you eat every day. This will keep you mindful of what is going into your body. 5)Do you really want to log in 6 cookies or one half of a cookie? Don t go on one of those fad diets. Losing too much weight too quickly can lead to health problems. All the weight lost from most fad diets will return soon after you transition off of them. 6)Allow yourself to cheat depending on your will power. If you don t have the will power, allow yourself the treats like dessert and a little ice cream (but it s better to go with frozen yogurt). Many people when they try to avoid comfort foods altogether, find themselves binging on those very foods. If you have a very strong will, you will not need to cheat at all. If you have a very fragile will, you ll likely cheat often. Just make sure as you progress, the cheating becomes less and less. 7)Leave left overs when dining out. If you find yourself overeating at restaurants, train yourself to always leave half of the food on your plate. Bring it home for later. Don t feel compelled to eat it all in one sitting since it s usually way too much food for one meal. Or just box it. 8)Only eat when you feel hungry. That way you rely on your body to regulate itself to a healthy natural weight. You must be very honest with yourself! You will never lose weight and keep it off unless you manage to incorporate these tips permanently. Applying these tips for a short time is useless in the long term. Realize that this is for the long term. Take as much time as you need easing yourself into it. 9)Once you have a routine, it s easy to maintain. For example, start exercising once a week NEVER missing a single session. Once that becomes routine, it should be easy to sneak in another day of exercise and slowly have that become routine too If you have unhealthy snacks you re likely to munch on them. Get rid of that temptation. A lot of people will just grab something and munch on it without even realizing what they re doing. 10)Keep in mind that a 3500 calorie deficit will result in the loss of one pound. You can use this figure to decide how many calories to cut back each day to result in the weight loss you want to achieve in a certain period of time. If you are engaging in an activity that you usually snack during, find something to do with your hands instead of eating. Take up knitting, learn to sew, write those thank-you cards, anything to keep you from munching mindlessly while you watch TV, etc. 11)Take a multivitamin. The more good things you put into your body, the more small steps you take to filling yourself with nutrients the better you will feel and look. 12)Do not eat in front of the television, most people eat more when sitting in front of the TV. 13)Avoid gorging yourself. If you are at a friend or relatives house, they will not be offended if you do not eat it all. 14)Salads are a perfect meal, and you can add little bits of toppings to give you some comfort food, but it mostly consists of good lettuce. 15)Avoid butter lettuce. You can add small chunks of chicken, lite salad dressing, a small bit of cheese, etc. Just make sure you keep the fatty toppings, like cheese, to a bare minimum. 16)Your meals should decrease in size as the day goes on. Eat a big breakfast, a somewhat smaller lunch, and a small dinner. This usually coordinates to help you burn off what youre eating. If you work at midnight, then this is not true for you. But if you rise early and sleep normally, then this is how to go. 17)When you don t eat for a while, your body goes into something called starvation mode . Even though our bodies have changed since the stone age where food was scarce, we still hang on to that. Starvation mode is when you don t eat for a certain amount of time, and your body begins to feed off of its fat stores to put off starvation. This WILL cause a weight gain. This is why breakfast is important. It lets your body know its not starving. So this is why you should eat 4-5 times a day. 18)Remember- Protein and carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram, while fats of all kinds contain 9 calories per gram. You need an even amount of fat, sugar, and oxygen in your fat cells to burn fat. Exercise all the muscles at once, dont exercise just one area! Differ good calories from bad calories. low calorie diets DONT WORK! They actually havent made a diet pill yet that burns fat! most diet pills make you lose all your water weight not fat! exercise a little and changing your diet together can make a BIG difference! u can also find the answer at wikihow.

south beach.i cut out starchs sugars and carbs for two weeks and lost a ton of weightbasically sugar and bread, pasta, potatos, and fruit.but its hard.switching water for soda for one year you can loose up to 25 lbs.

eat a balanced diet consisting of 5 small meals rather than 3 larger meals a day, avoid fast food and sodas/juices with high calorie, don t eat after 8 oclock, exercise, get 8 hours of sleep a night. make sure you moderate your carbs and sugar (especially refined sugars) and limit them. eat lean meats (turkey, fish, esp salmon and tuna) and veggies.remember, calories burned per day calories intake per day = weight loss
