Dieting is basically done to lose excess weight. But dieting actually is managing your diet so as to keep your body healthy and fit. Even people with underweight also go for dieting to manage their weight.

  1. Take it one step at a time. Start by paying attention to what you eat. Cut back on fat and sweets and add more fruit and vegetables. After you have that under control, add exercise. If you hate to exercise try it for only 15 minutes a day at first, then a 1/2-hour. Keep in mind that while you are exercising you are burning calories and not eating. Also, it will be easier if you chose an activity that you enjoy.

    2. When you think of weight loss and losing weight the few initial things that probably come to your mind are either those “lose weight fast !” or “Guaranteed weight loss” articles that you see in every magazine, newspaper, websites or guaranteed by many fitness centers.

  2. Find a friend. It is always good to have support when you are trying to lose weight. Find a friend who wants to lose weight and compare notes, weigh-in together and maybe even have a contest.
  3. Use weights. Working out weights will build muscle and raise your metabolism so you will burn more calories. Also, muscle takes up less space than fat so you will be smaller ( but probably weigh more).

    4. Weight loss is simple, burn more calories than you consume. If you can fully understand that, than you are on your way to losing weight.

  4. Eat fewer carbs. Don’t eat as much bread and pasta and you will see a difference.
  5. Set a goal. Set a deadline to lose the weight and write it down. For example, ‘ By Dec 14/04 I will weigh 150 lbs or less’. Put it somewhere you will see it daily.

    6. Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. That’s right, wake up and eat like you would normally eat and count the calories in everything you eat and everything you drink and keep track of it on a piece of paper or on the computer somewhere.

  6. Give up soda. If you drink a soda or 2 a day you are adding empty calories. If you find it hard to stop completely, cut back at first and drink water instead.
  7. Grill or boil. Avoid fried meat, grill and use lots of spices. You will get used to it and probably enjoy it more.

    8. At the end of that day, add up the number of calories you ate/drink. Be as exact as possible. Starting the day after you counted calories; eat 500 calories LESS than you normally do. So, let’s pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would eat 1500 calories a day.

  8. Don’t buy junk food. When you go shopping, don’t go on an empty stomach and you will be less likely to buy junk food. Keep your home ‘junk food free’ so you won’t be tempted to indulge.
  9. Eat breakfast. Consume most of your calories early in the day and always eat breakfast. Don’t eat after 8pm and not only will you avoid those added calories but you will sleep better.

    10. Instead of eating three big meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over five smaller meals. Eat one meal every two and a half to three hours. By doing this you can speed up your metabolism.

  10. Give yourself a treat. When you tell yourself that you can’t have something you want it more. Give yourself a treat once a day ( ie. half a cookie) and you won’t feel you are missing out.
  11. Use smaller plates. Trick yourself into believing that you are eating more by using a smaller plate.

    12. Cardiology workouts is an important part of weight loss. If you are serious about losing weight, but don’t want to do the cardiology workouts, then you are requiring your diet to do all of the work. Jog, walk, swim, jump rope, ride a bike, take an aerobics class, whatever……cardiology workouts + proper diet = better than just doing one of the two.

  12. Drink lots of water. Drink water when you are feeling hungry and you will get that ‘full’ feeling.
  13. Don’t eat everything on your plate. Many times we eat just because it’s there. Pay attention to when you have had enough.

    14. At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You’ll notice a difference just after one week! Now, don’t expect to see a 20 pound difference. But if you have a LOT of weight to lose, you can lose it.

  14. Eat five or six meals a day. Eating more frequently will keep you from getting too hungry.
  15. Plan your workout sessions. Write your workout sessions in your journal or planner.

    16. But very few people who are on dieting know what is the safe and effective way to go for dieting, when should they do dieting, what can be the side effects of their dieting program, whom should they consult and what should they do before and while on dieting.

  16. Stay away from fad diets. Fad diets don’t work. If you lose weight fast chances are that you will gain it back ( and more) just as fast. It takes time to put it on and time to take it off.
  17. Do several workouts a day. While you are watching TV do crunches and leg lifts.

    18. It is advisable that one should have proper knowledge of various dieting programs and dieting tips they follow. In the process of dieting the most important consideration should be on the diet. The diet should be taken in a way so that rather than adding up calories it should add nutritional content to the body… [read more]

  18. Measure your food. If you decide to have junk food for a snack - be sure to measure and control what you eat.
  19. Keep pre-cut vegetables. …and ward off those cravings.
  20. Create Good Habits. It is a known fact that when we do something twenty-one times it becomes a habit. Create good eating habits.
