Go to sleep as early as you can, so you aren't tempted to have a "late night snack". Late night snacks are usually a craving for sweets or some sort of junk like chips, which have TONS of unhealthy, unnecessary, calories.0

Lots of water
and gum... I was eating non stop I quit smoking October 2010 and I found myself eating more after I quit. I think it was having something in my mouth is what caused my snacking since I was not smoking I had nothing to do.. chew gum (it does not work for everyone) but give it a try you will be surprised. I am out of gum right now and I am going crazy0 -
Don't bull**** yourself and eat less. The end.0

watch the movie Fat Head
it'll help.
If you mean that it will help to serve as an example of all the crazy bs that gets thrown around in the name of weight loss, then I agree. While you're at it, watch Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead, to see another example of a misguided approach.0 -
Obviously, calories needed to sustain your life < what you eat < calories out, but I also suggest setting goals for you that aren't scale-related. There is so much more to being healthy than the number on the scale.0

I actually thought it was fairly done, though one-sided at times, and learning more about carbs/starches and how they truly affect blood sugar, insulin, etc was very helpful. For myself, if I steer away from breads/pastas, I can actually SEE a dramatic difference in my body in a few short days...*shrug* I liked it 0 -
1. Consume fewer calories than you expend.
The End.

These are the weight-loss tips that I'm doing and it's working miracles in my life (everyone is different and like life, one size does NOT and WILL fit all...so:
The Mental
Change my attitude about myself and life (people and situations) in general
1.) No one owes me nothing in this life and I don't owe anyone anything but to love them
2.) My weight and appearance (inside and out) is my choice-- No longer blaming or accusing or excuses my faults and failures on anyone other than myself--owning them (no matter how much it hurts or I can't see or understand the who's what's why's and how's of and when things don't go my way or "life" happens and it's out of my control--accepting that and moving ON) and doing the hard work that it's going to take to release and eliminate the negatives and accentuate the positives in my life--starting with my head (mind) my body (obvious) and heart and soul.
3.) No longer following the crowd, in looking for acceptance, approval (be it my new lifestyle and way of living) but being bold enough to stand alone if i have to and again to blaze my own trail from here on out, in love though. Honestly believing that I'm not any better than anyone else (but no worse either). No longer judging anyone but myself. Being a selfless person more instead of a spoiled, lazy, gluttonous selfish person. Those are HUGE steps for me in my weight-tips FOR MYSELF firstly and if these works for others, cool...if not--move along, nothing here to see

Since I've been living like this, just this past month...I've lost 14 pounds, my bodyfat% has decreased more than 10+ percent (from 46+ to today 32% body fat and moving down as I reach my goal(s), I feel less stress and more energy living, thinking, doing and being this way and I'm GLAD.
Some no DOUBT will say... Poo on you, that's depriving yourself--well my answer is, honey, I've been over indulging in JUNK (physically, mentally and every other way) for too many years (okay, most of my long life) and if this doesn't sit well with you...it's okay...it's working for me and I'm working it! This is a NEW way of life for me and I LOVE IT!0 -

Tom Venuto calls it "adaptive thermogenesis." Page 260 of his book, "The Body Fat Solution." It has helped me understand a lot and has been very helpful to me in breaking through plateaus. Certainly a lot more helpful than "Eat less calories than you expend. The end." WHile that's true, it's not al all helpful. Venuto explains it and how to do it.0

Forgive yourself, be flexible on your diet.
When you drop your cell phone, you don't jump on it to break it up
so why do that to your diet?0 -

Only tip u will need.
...then what's all this talk about 'starvation mode' and 'eating more to lose'?
Your calories are already being restricted on MFP ....so in fact you are already eating less. When people say to eat more it is to eat back what you have burned because then your body would have consumed too low a number of calories for the day and your body might eventually begin to go into 'starvation mode'.
For example, if your daily calorie intake is 1300 calories and you burned 500 calories working out then you only ate 800 calories for the day! Too low...0
