1

Drink plenty of water. Water is not only essential for your body, but it automatically makes the body feel better and healthier when you drink it. Drink a glass of water before every meal. It will make you feel fuller and discourage overeating. Also, drink water while eating. Take small sips as you eat. The water will help the food settle faster and make you feel full. Water also lubricates the inside of the body. It washes away harmful toxins and other unnecessary things inside the body.

2

Avoid sugary drinks. Sodas and other carbonated drinks are full of sugar. They do not fill you up like food does, but add the same amount, if not more, calories. Fruit juices also contain a lot of sugar. Some of it might be natural, but most of it is not. Eat fruit instead of drinking the juice and if you must drink fruit juice choose fresh or low-sugar options.

3

Eat a lot of vegetables. Vegetables are low on calories and filling. Eat a salad with every meal if you want to lose weight quickly.

4

Set meal times and stick to them. Breakfast, lunch and dinner should all be no more than six hours apart. If you let more than six hours pass between meals you will find yourself feeling hungry and will be more likely to overeat when you get to your next meal. Do not skip meals, as it can cause weight gain instead of loss.

5

Eat only when you are hungry. Unnecessary snaking can kill a diet. If you are hungry choose sensible snacks such as fruits or vegetables. If you are offered something to eat and feel that it is rude to decline the offer, just take a little. That way you will not offend anyone or ruin your diet.

6

Exercise regularly. Light cardiovascular exercises help you burn calories. If you are not used to exercising try walking or riding a stationary bike. These exercises are simple and can even be fun. Exercising for just half an hour a day can make a big difference in weight loss.
