Methods to lose weight fast

By Victoria G.

Here are ways to lose weight fast delivered by regular people as comments on various blogs or articles on line.

Avoid fried meat, eat only grilled or boiled meat like steak and chicken Use a some lemon juice to make it even better.

Give up the soda. If you consume a soda or two every day you are adding empty calories. If you find it hard to stop completely, cut back at first and drink water instead|Stop drinking soda. Those are empty calories so stop drinking it and substitute water. (Note that the average person adds 90,000 calories a year from drinking juice or soda. WOW! That's a great tip.)

Don't buy junk food. Shop according to a list. If you don't have junk food at home you won't eat it.

Give yourself a treat. When you skip a food for a long time you end up craving it more, and eventually binging. Taste a treat once a week, or even once a day in smaller quantities. Don't go crazy, keep it in moderation.

Use a smaller plate to trick yourself into thinking you're eating more than you really are. (Not only are you tricking yourself, even if the trick doesn't work it's easier to stop eating when the plate is finished and there's no more food to eat.)

Rob a bank and get caught. They serve a balanced diet in prison. (Um, no. That's a bad idea.)

Stay away from fad diets. They starve you and then you binge when the diet is over.

Exercise whenever you can, even at the desk with some leg lifts. (That's a great idea to increase the work outs.)

The three most important factors in healthy diet are portion control, portion control and portion control. (Portion control is a big part of a healthy diet. Most restaurants and even people at home serve portions that are too large.)

Jump in front of a moving train. You'll wake up from the coma a slimmer you. (Another bad idea. It's best to stick to ways to lose weight while remaining healthy. After all, the ultimate goal is good health.)

Stick to something long enough to repeat it a few times, then you can coast. (It's said that if we repeat a thing 21 times it becomes a habit. Sometimes the number is different, but the idea is the same. Will power is only necessary to repeat something enough times for it to become|turn into a habit.)

When you eat too quickly the body doesn't have time to feel full. Go slow.

The folks out there know a lot about weight loss. Ask other people for support and more ideas.
