Best weight loss tip? -

What s the best weight loss tip for someone who isn t overweight, but would still like to lose about 10 pounds?

first, start with your eating habits. cut pop/energy drinks/really high calorie drinks. eat lots of fruits vegetables. lower your red meat intake. chicken fish are really healthy for you, so eat more of that (grilled, broiled). also, drinks lots and lots of water!second, exercise at least 3 times a week. no, this does not mean you have to go to a gym and lift weights, but you need to move. walk, run, jog, ride a bike. if you prefer to go to a gym, take an aerobics class or something similar, they are great for burning fat! yoga is really good, too!third, don t cut food out all together. if you stop eating for a few days, you might lose about 3-5 pounds, but once you start eating again you ll gain double or triple that back. be consistent! hope i helped!

1. Keep a note of everything that you eat and drink. You do not need to estimate calories. Just write down what it was that you had and the approximate quantity. You will find that being more aware of what you are eating helps you to plan healthy meals and snacks.2. Halve your intake of all pure or added fats. This means using half as much butter or spread on your bread, toast, muffins and potatoes; half the usual amount of mayonnaise or sauce on your salad; and half the oil in the frypan every time.3. Limit treats containing sugar to three times per week. This includes chocolate, ice cream, desserts, cake, pastries, cookies, etc. 4. Include a lower fat source of protein at most meals: chicken, fish, beans, cottage cheese, or low fat yogurt. Have eggs, nuts and red meat occasionally but not every day.

ermm, the weirdest thing ive done to lose weight is eat nothing but pizza rolls O.o, it went pretty good till i ran out of em but i did play basketball and whatnot in gym at school everyday so thats probably what helped.

Skipping 4 times a week for 15 minutes. Its incredible how quickly weight loss happens with skipping.I guess that s why boxers love it when they need to shift a pound or two, they always skip.

If you re already fit and exercise then try carb cycling. If you re not exercising then I would suggest cleaning up your diet and work out (lift weights and alternate with heavy cardio).

Water- drink plenty of water, at least 8 - 8oz. glasses per day.
