10 Best Weight Loss Tips - Short and Sweet

We love count downs, I guess because of television and print. It is fun to guess what will be the number one of something that is being counted down. This countdown is based on a favorite late night TV show.

#10 Best Weight Loss Tip

Stop drinking soda - drink water. Water will power start your metabolism.

#9

Be aware of how fast you are eating. Enjoy your food, every bit - chew thoroughly.

#8

Eat a lot of raw fruits, veggies and nuts. These fill you up with fewer calories.

#7

Become more active - get off the couch or easy chair, walk the dog, walk with your partner - be active.

#6

Snacking is acceptable within reason. Snacking is not a meal replacement and to control calories snack on healthy foods.

#5

Adjust your meal size and portions; big breakfast, nice size lunch and small night meal. Don't think of your night meal as comfort food - you will eat too much.

#4

Don't eat your meal "on the run". Sit down, take your time and enjoy the meal. No "fast foods" is a good slogan to remember because of the high calorie content.

#3

Adjust your attitude and get your mind working on how best to make you feel better about yourself with your weight problem. It is your life - live it!

#2

Get some type of professional help in your journey with weight management. Gym, YMCA, and even trainers will offer advice on how to get started.

#1 Best Weight Loss Tip

Exercise! Start slow according to your health status. Figure a maintenance program out, write it down and follow it. Be creative with a lot of variety so the program does not get old. Give yourself enough time so exercise will be a non-thinkable part of your lifestyle. You just do it! To conclude; my tips may not be as funny as Dave's, but when you think about it our life is no laughing matter either. We get just one chance at this; why not make it the best we can do.
