By Adriane Neigh


If you'd like to lose weight, you're not alone. Almost everyone feels that they could stand to lose a couple pounds, but for some reason, most people don't do it! Many people feel that weight loss is intimidating, or aren't sure how to go about it. If this is you, read on to shed your inhibitions and start shedding pounds!

Buy a bathroom scale to track your weight loss. Studies have shown people who weigh themselves regularly tend to lose more weight than those who don't. For best results pick one day of the week to do your weigh-in. This will help you see your progress and know what you did during the week that worked, or didn't work.

One of the best possible diet plans you can get on involves eating five smaller meals per day instead of three moderate-sized meals. Eating to lose weight, as odd as it sounds, actually helps your metabolism stay revved up and busy all day. If your metabolism is at rest, a lot of the calories you eat are not needed and will be stored as fat.

A great tip to help you lose weight, is to drink a small protein shake whenever you feel a hunger pang coming on. By just mixing a small scoop of protein powder with ice and drinking it when you're hungry, you're doing minimal damage to your diet and you'll keep your self-confidence.

Hang a mirror in your dining room opposite of where you're sitting. It has been proven that people who can see themselves reflected in a mirror cut the amount of food they ate by one- third. It seems that seeing yourself in the flesh reflected is a great motivator to eat less and lose more weight.

Motivate yourself with something ridiculous. Buy a pair of flashy jeans or pieces of clothing that are much too tight, and then hang them from the ceiling in the kitchen so that you are always reminded of your end goal. Your amusement at the fact that you even did this will also help to keep you motivated.

If you are having a hard time getting your diet started, then you should try with small, simple steps, like buying a pair of walking shoes or beginning an eating log. It has been shown that you are more likely to follow through with a weight loss regiment if you start with small things like these.

Weigh yourself at regular intervals, such as daily or weekly. Studies have shown that people who check their weight regularly have an easier time losing weight and maintaining weight loss. By checking your weight, you'll get to experience satisfaction as you see yourself starting to succeed, and you'll notice right away if you start to backslide.

As you can see, weight loss isn't nearly as intimidating as it can seem at first. Weight loss is simple, and as you've read, something that you can start right now. Apply the strategies and tips you read in this article now to start becoming a healthier, slimmer, happier you.
