Want to lose weight fast? It’s
easy to say goodbye to 10 pounds of unwanted fat with these easy diet tips.
Just pay attention to what you eat and be sure to have good tasting, fresh and
healthy food including snacks, fill up on vegetables and keep your taste buds
happy with fruit.

No need to make sacrifices! Just
follow these simple guidelines to lose your first 10 pounds, last 10 pounds or
give your weight loss program a boost when it seems to have stuttered to a
halt. This is a balanced and flexible plan that you can use for as long as you
want.
1. Keep a
note of everything that you eat and drink.

 You do not need to estimate
calories. Just write down what it was that you had and the approximate
quantity. You will find that being more aware of what you are eating helps you
to plan healthy meals and snacks.
2. Halve
your intake of all pure or added fats.

This means using half as much
butter or spread on your bread, toast, muffins and potatoes; half the usual
amount of mayonnaise or sauce on your salad; and half the oil in the frypan
every time.
3. Limit
treats containing sugar to three times per week.

This includes chocolate, ice
cream, desserts, cake, pastries, cookies, etc.
4. Include
a lower fat source of protein at most meals.

Chicken, fish, beans, cottage
cheese, or low fat yogurt. Have eggs, nuts and red meat occasionally but not
every day.
5. Plan at
least one lunch and dinner every week without meat or cheese.

Build those meals around whole
grains, vegetables and beans to increase fiber and reduce fat.
6. Reduce
the fat content in your milk products.

If you are currently drinking
whole milk, reduce to 2% fat. From 2% reduce to 1%. Choose lower fat cheese and
yogurt. When you buy yogurt, also check that it does not contain sugar.
7. Have at
least two servings of fruit every day.

This can be for dessert or
snacks. Choose fruit that is in season.
8. Drink
water instead of sodas, juices, milky drinks or alcohol.

Avoid diet soda - the sweet taste
only encourages you to crave sugar. Hot water with a slice of lemon can be very
refreshing in the morning.

9. Include
at least two servings of vegetables at lunch and dinner.

 If you are getting hungry, have
more.

10. Eat slowly.
The body is
slow to register when you are full and it is easy to eat too much if you are
racing through your meals.

11. Grated
carrot makes a great snack.

You will find that a grated
carrot is much more filling than a whole carrot. Strange but true.
12. Use whole
grains wherever possible.

The fiber will give you a fuller
feeling and also help your digestion.
13. Choose
food that you can chew.

Again this will increase your
fiber intake, and the act of chewing will make you feel more satisfied too.
This means eating fruit instead of drinking juice. If you have soup, make sure
it is chunky.
14. Plan
your meals and snacks ahead of time.

Plan your shopping too - make a
list of what you need and stick to it. If you just grab something when you are
feeling hungry, you will probably choose high calorie food.
15. Always switch
off the TV when you eat.

That includes snacks as well as
meals. Studies have proved that we eat larger portions in front of the TV,
probably because we are much less aware of what we are eating. When you eat,
only eat if you want to lose weight fast.
