For many of us the topic of weight loss is both emotional and stressful. It can be a daunting and intimidating task that many of us have tried to do but with mixed success. Typically people focus on a couple of "big" efforts like a diet or exercise regimen that target particular times of the day instead of looking at it wholistically around every aspect of our day. Below is a list of 10 easy to follow weight loss tips that when turned into a conscious part of your daily activities can transform your lifestyle and really show results. 1. Stop Drinking Soft DrinksEach soft drink is 150 empty calories. Replacing just one soft drink per day with water will result in losing 16 lbs per year. 2. Keep Yourself BusyWhen there is nothing to do we reach for thefoodout of boredom. Staying busy with other activities will help to keep your mind off food. 3. Get Rid Of Tempting FoodsWe all havefoodsthat we can't resist. Knowing that it's best to not have those foods around the house. Out of sight, out of mind. 4. Watch Your PortionsHow much youeatis just as important as what you eat. If an average person starts eating just 10% less he will lose about 20 lbs per year without changing his diet. 5. Think Of Calories In Terms Of ExerciseYou have to do the whole hour of aerobics to burn off the 500 calories contained in a big piece of cheesecake. What is easier for you: exercising for 1 hour or not eating the cheesecake? 6. Take A PauseNext time when you are about to eat something you shouldn't pause for a couple of seconds and ask yourself -"Is It Worth It?" If the answer is "Yes" go ahead and indulge. If the answer is "No" step back and congratulate yourself for taking that pause. 7. Eat SlowlyIt takes our brain about 20 minutes to realize that we are full. When you eat too fast, there is not enough time for the "full" feeling to register so you'd end up literally stuffing yourself with food. 8. Don't Skip MealsWhen you skip a meal you get way too hungry, when you are too hungry you won't be able to control yourself at the next meal. As a result you'll end up eating more than 2 meals worth of calories. 9. Plan Your MealsTry to plan your meals in advance. Not knowing what you are going to eat will send you right to the fast food joint. 10. Do Everyday Physical ActivitiesTake the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Park your car at the far end of the parking lot. Join a gym and/or get a personal trainer. Walking briskly for 15 minutes per day will help you lose an extra 10 lbs per year. It all adds up!
