Lose Weight - Eat More

Eat more and lose weight, many people will raise their eyebrows at that statement, however if you can drop the habit of eating fast food such as Burgers and fries and instead start to eat more fruit and vegetables your diet will be more healthy.

Regular exercise every day will also help you lose weight as its burns up calories. If you can try to exercise for 20 to 30 minutes at moderate intensity to get your heart working faster. Start of gradually. One alterative is combine you exercise time with going to work by walking part way to work or using stairs instead of lifts and escalators.

Reward yourself from time to time with some forbidden food such as a donut. If you have a craving for snacks rather than eating biscuits eat a stick of celery or carrots to tide you over until meal times. It is better to eat when you are hungry than eating just because its a meal time. In fact regular eating every few hours will keep you body in a higher- metabolism digesting mode burning up calories faster nad helping you lose weight.

Salads and vegetables generally have a high water and fiber content so you can quite happily eat a large bowl without taking in many calories, if you need a dressing on your salad use a no calorie dressing.

Get used to drinking a lot of water rather than cans of of soft drinks, also make yourself fresh orange juice rather than a processed bottle or carton which may contain extra sugar and preservatives which will not help you lose weight.

Avoid calorie dense, unhealthy food. Unhealthy food is food which contains calories, but little nutritional value. These calories are called "empty calories." You will probably be best served if you also avoid foods that would contain empty calories if they were not fortified with vitamin C (like some gummy bears) or calcium (like some cookies). Fortification with vitamins doesn't't always make unhealthy food healthy.

Opt for chicken or fish instead of red meat, and baked potato or rice instead of fries. Choose foods that are steamed, grilled, broiled or baked instead of fried. Avoid dishes that are labeled as "breaded", "crispy" or "battered" – those are the code words for "fried".

Ask for dressings and sauces on the side. Even a green salad can pack as many calories as a burger if it's swimming in a fatty dressing.Pack away extra food. At the beginning of the meal, ask for a doggie bag, and put what you aren't going to eat in the bag. If the restaurant is known for especially large portion sizes, you can share a portion with a friend.

Add good fats to your diet. Monounsaturated fats have been clinically proven to help you burn fat, especially in your midsection. So, add foods like avocados, kalamata olives, walnuts, and flaxseed to your diet, as these will all help you lose weight
