Tip Seven— Partner up with someone in the weight-loss challenge. It's
better not to go it alone.

5) Lean protein sources such as the white meat in chicken and turkey
6) Veggies such as broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussel sprouts and
cabbage

9) Green tea
10) Beans
11) Cinnamon
12) Chili peppers
13) Yogurt

Tip One — Keep a weight-loss blog like mine. It'll keep you
accountable.
Tip Five—Remember, every weight-loss diet that works has one thing in
common. You take in less calories than you expend. It doesn't matter if
it's Atkins, South Beach or the Caveman diet, if you spend more
calories than you eat, you'll lose weight.
Tip Four — Drink lots of water every day, eight glasses. You lose fat
by sweating it off and peeing it off. As well as some through your
breath, oddly enough. Also, water will fill you up.
Tip Three — Try to eat five servings of vegetables and fruits every
day. And try to find vegetables you really like. For example, I love
broccoli, but only with mayo. Yes, mayo is fattening, but I limit it to
one tablespoon, 90 calories. So the calories from eating it with mayo
are 150 rather than 60. So what? If it helps me eat broccoli, it's
worth it.
Tip Two — Remember, diet will determine your weight more than exercise.
You definitely want both, but it's a lot easier to not eat the extra
500 calories than it is to work off the extra 500 calories.
