Instructions

• 1

  Count calories to keep them between 1200 and 1500 calories a day. Focus on filling types of foods. Foods with more fiber like fruits and vegetable stay with you longer. For example, an apple fills you up longer than apple juice. Plan your meals with correct serving sizes.

• 2

  Stop eating sugar in sweets and soft drinks. Sugar adds many unnecessary calories that you don't need. Beware of too many artificial sweeteners as well. Some health experts suspect that artificial sweeteners may trick the body into eating more. Look for low calorie options for high calorie foods.

• 3

  Drink at least eight glasses of water daily; it really does help. Sometimes thirst mistakenly feels like hunger. Drinking water manages the thirst and helps take the edge off hunger. Additionally, water flushes out toxins quickly.

  Buy a pedometer, and wear it all the time to track how many steps you take. An average goal is 10,000 steps per day. What a pedometer helps you understand is that exercise is more than doing cardio. Individual changes, such as parking your car farther from the shopping mall, make the difference.

• 5

  Move it to lose it quickly. Physical activity is necessary for this kind of weight loss, and it makes you feel better. Choose something fun like hiking, biking or swimming that you can do six days a week. Add weight training if possible, since muscle burns fat faster and increases metabolism.

• 6

  Decide whether you're a stress eater. Many people are. If so, add daily stress management or relaxation into your day. Both relaxation exercises and visualization work wonders to keep the stress at bay.
