10 Tips on Losing Weight Now!

1. Eat a balanced diet of wholesome foods, focusing on high-nutrient and low-calorie foods--vegetables and whole grains, legumes, and some fresh fruits.

2. Avoid Overeating and don't eat much after nightfall.

3. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. Meaning, consume most of your fuel early in the day so that you will utilize it in your daily activities.

4. Drink plenty (8-12 glasses) of filtered or spring water daily, particularly first thing in the morning and then 30 to 60 minutes before meals to satiate your body and minimize your appetite.

5. Exercise regularly at least one hour daily including stretching and strengthening exercises along with 30 to 45 minutes of aerobic activity at least four times a week.

6.Avoid high-fat, processed, and high-calorie foods, such as candy, cookies and cakes, sodas, chips, cheese, and meats, especially lunchmeats.

7. Take time to eat. Eat and chew slowly and thoroughly, satisfying yourself with each mouthful; pay attention to eating when you're consuming food.

8. Be loving and forgiving with yourself both for any weight problems and for whenever you vary from your diet plan. Get back on track quickly and focus on low-fat, low-calorie, wholesome foods.

9. Realize that your weight has many genetic and emotional factors and triggers involved, and you may need support to help you really change your bad habits.

10. The ultimate process for weight loss is the long, slow one that involves you changing your diet for life rather than going on a diet to create the body, health and the appropriate weight for you.

#3 has always been difficult for me. i was trained in my childhood that dinner is the biggest meal. i even used to save calories throughout the day so that i could have a bigger dinner. i have been able to, over the years, cut down on my dinner portions, although it is still one of my bigger meals but barely. i try to eat every 2-3 hours so my portions are small all throughout the day. thanks for posting, always good to read and remind yourself of the important factors.

I was raised similar. Actually, dinner would be served around 3pm and that was that. So we had to eat alot to make it till morning. Not to mention there were 4 kids, so the deal was, grab what you can because there most likely won't be seconds.

I took me some getting used to, but I have adjusted. I find that I am not quite so hungry towards the end of the day and I sleep much better now than I ever have.
