8 Stupidly Simple Weight Loss Tips People tend to get scared when they hear they are going to have to get a major diet plan. Though is not nearly as scary as it sounds. Losing weight can be one of the most frustrating things to do. There is so much information and misinformation out there that's it hard to know who to listen to.

routine does ring a bell, doesn't it? You see, when you eat less, you force your body to slow down its metabolic rate because it would now rather save than lose energy, due to the huge time gap between meals.

1. Lessen your food portions. Unless you are training for a major athletic event, you can limit your meat intake to 200g of meat or chicken and 300g of fish. Avoid returning for second helpings.

6. Stay far away from fast food. This food is full of trans fats and saturated fats and do nothing but clog up those arteries. When eating out, quick but healthy choices include Subway sandwiches, sushi, stir fry or grilled chicken. And no chips!

2. If you eat the same foods over and over again, you're going to get bored – unless they're foods you really, really like. Feel free to change it up – keep your tongue happy. Balance carbs with proteins with fats, though.

7. When you start to lose fat, you're probably going to get constipated. Yeah, it happens more frequently than we care to admit (or share). You should have a good amount of fiber every day, anyway. Fiber is very important to your health (and your weight loss goals). Try the Metamucil snack wafers for a quick fiber infusion. Then, magnesium citrate for those… "stuck" moments, in which you'll find yourself from time to time. Stick a bottle or two of that in your fridge for safe keeping, and don't plan on going anywhere for 24 hours after taking a dose (trust me, trust me, trust me).

3. If you have more of one nutrient for one meal, try more of another nutrient for the next. And for heaven's sake, don't just shop in the "diet" section of the store. You can still (likely) eat the same things you've always eaten, just not so much of them at any one time. 4. You'll do more than burn calories — you'll cut your appetite. In a study of 10 obese women conducted at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, 20 minutes of walking reduced appetite and increased sensations of fullness as effectively as a light meal. 5. While this might sound surprising to many, it is a common advice given by many fitness instructors who advise their clients to eat six meals a day. Now, the six meals a day

8. Not just any frozen dinner, but one designed for weight loss. Most of us tend to eat an average of 150 percent more calories in the evening than in the morning. An easy way to keep dinner calories under control is to buy a pre-portioned meal. Just make sure that it contains only one serving. If it contains two, make sure you share. Written by Charles Zoe.
