1. Calories in, calories out. Find a good site/program that helps you keep track of how many calories you eat and how many calories you burn. I highly recommend www.dotfit.com
2. Be active. You don’t have to run a marathon to be active. If you’re not used to working out, start out slow. As you continue working out, you will be able to do more and more.
3. Personal training works wonders. Trainers are expensive, but they are worth every penny. If you can make it work, get one ASAP. Bally Total Fitness also offers small group sessions (2-8 people; 10 sessions for $250 per person). If you can get a few people in your office to commit with you, it is much cheaper than personal training and you get the same results.
4. Watch your fat. Watching your fat intake is just as important as watching your calorie intake. If you have a hard time staying away from fatty foods, I recommend trying Alli. It forces you to think about what you put into your body. www.myalli.com
5. Watch your sodium. Eating too much sodium can affect your weight by 3lbs the next day.
6. Watch your portion sizes. Try eating on a smaller plate. If you are still hungry, eat more veggies or drink a glass of water.
7. Drink plenty of water. Our bodies need water and any other beverage comes with calories, sugar, and etc.
8. Stay away from fruit juices. Instead of drinking a glass of orange juice, eat an orange. Juice is full of sugar and is high in calories. The actual fruit provides not only juice, but fiber and many, many nutrients.
9. Berries are the best fruit. Eating fruit is better than eating candy, but eating berries is better than eating other fruits. You can still eat other fruits, but try to eat them earlier in the day and watch your portion sizes.
10. Snack, snack, snack. Snacking on healthy things in between meals will keep you satisfied and keep you from eating too much at meal time.
