Diet tips?

Question

So I was wondering what good diet tips are there? I know you have to drink tons of water, but like what else? Is there anything that speeds up weight loss?

Answer 1

I'm not going to discuss actual foods but more the idea of food portion and routine.

-Eat a good breakfast, this gets your metabolism up and going.
-Consider trying 4-6 smaller but healthy meals instead of larger 2-3 meals as the constant food digestion will, overtime, keep your metabolism at a more consistent level for you to notice and calculate results.
-WATER WATER WATER. If you are full on it, you have less room for a larger meal. Drink 8 oz before meals.
-Don't eat right before bed.
-Bring you lunch to school or ask about healthy alternatives (there is no reason you have to have that slice of pizza just because you are in the cafeteria).
-Go easy on yourself and allow yourself to splurge and not deprive yourself especially on special occassions and as a treat for a good job.
-Get support from friends and family who can encourage you with health eating and choices. Get someone who will diet with you!
-Exercise - and get in the routine.

Don't try to put too many new "rules" on to yourself all at once. Dieting is a marathon, not a sprint. You are attempting to change lifestyle choices, not just food choices.
