Looking to lose weight? Don't forget these important tips:

1. Sleep: lack of sleep inhibits fat loss.
2. Drink water
3. Eat protein: essential for the body
4. Get in your fruits and vegetables: full of nutrients and fiber
5. Exercise: try hitting the weights for some resistance training, the benefits are long lasting
6. Track your food: this will help you become more self-aware
7. Don't give in to diet fads: most are bogus and just make you lose water weight, quick fix, not long term

I have the hardest time getting enough sleep and drinking the water......and I'm not a big fan of vegetables so that's hard too.

I would say for the water to maybe add a splash of lemon or some seltzer for a spritzer, that is if you don't like the taste. Also, fruits and vegetables and other foods count towards your fluid intake.

Maybe adding your veggies to other recipes. Like if you are making pasta, adding the veggies to the gravy (or sauce as some call it). Also, with the veggies wasting, you could always use them fresh and then cut and freeze them. Then, you can use them later in hot dishes and not waste. Adding extra veggies to soups, omelets, and casseroles might be another alternative.

That's great about the working out part. Once you get a schedule set with working out, makes it easier to stick to. Also, if you are working out, you shouldn't have to worry "as much" if you cheat on some days with the food.

Snacking is such a big thing for me. If I wait too long to eat, I feel like I've gone stark raving mad and I want to eat everything in sight! Keeping nuts on hand really helps me out.
