Here are some effective, easy and simple tips for weight loss.

#1 RULE: YOU SHOULDN'T STARVE YOURSELF!

People think "I'm on a diet so I have to starve, I can't eat anything".

THAT'S NOT TRUE. In order to lose weight efficiently you need to eat more often to lose weight, not less. We've all heard that when you starve yourself your body's "defense mechanism" kicks in and helps provide nourishment to your body.

More importantly, your body is like a machine, you need to keep feeding it fuel (good fuel that is). You have to give it nourishment every 1-2 hours.

Think of it like the different types of fuel (like grades of gasoline). You can give your body a "lower grade" fuel like sugar, sweets, soft drinks, fried foods etc. and it will not perform that good, tired, sluggish. So your body will perform substandard, you'll feel run down, headaches, low energy etc.

Or you can feed your body vegetables, fruits, lean meats, water, nuts, seeds, fish, cranberry juice, etc. (like premium grade fuel) and feel energetic, up, regular, sleep better etc.

Standard tips to lose weight

1. STOP EATING FRIED FOODS

You know that fried foods are bad for you. You should know by now that Trans fats and Saturated fats are bad for you and heart health. Fried foods contain the "bad fats". Any benefit from the meat or vegetable that is fried is extremely reduced.

2. QUIT DRINKING SODA

There is no nutritional value in soda or soft drinks. They contain too much sugar, diet soda contain artificial sweeteners (aspartame) that are harmful to the body and digestive system.

3. QUIT EATING SWEETS

Again, there is no nutritional value in cakes, pies, candy etc.

4. GET ALL THE BAD FOODS OUT OF THE HOUSE

To minimize the temptation, get all the bad foods out of the house. On those days when you seem to be cruising by the kitchen every 15 or 20 minutes to consume a snack or get something to eat, if you don't have the bad foods in the house then you can't eat them.

In this article I'm going to talk about good carbs. Carbohydrates are needed by the body for energy. Carbohydrates also help fight sickness and disease.

Good carbs

Beans, legumes, Whole grain Cheerios, Fat Free pretzels, nuts, seeds, green vegetables, sweet potatoes

Bad Carbs

Sugars, syrups, fructose, added sugars to foods, refined grains, white grains, bagels, white bread, muffins, crackers, candies, white pasta

So eliminate the bad carbs and implement the good carbs to your diet if you want more energy and weight loss.
