Increase fiber intake
A high-fiber diet gradually decreases calories because fiber helps you feel full longer. Good sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables and beans. Whole grains (read the ingredients list to make sure a whole grain such as oat or wheat is listed first) are another good source of fiber.
Work out longer
If you exercise regularly but still cannot seem to shed weight, it may be because you are not working out long enough. Aim for an hour of exercise most days and try to stay in your zone for the majority of that time.
Rethink portions
It may sound simple, but that meal on your plate may be your biggest enemy. People tend to eat more when they have a bigger serving in front of them. To get portions under control, learn to serve yourself less food at home, always choose the smallest size when ordering, and when eating out order appetizers or cut portions in half and take home a doggy bag.
Eat more snacks
Your body needs energy every three to five hours so if you plan for snacks, they actually help you take in fewer calories over the course of the day. Fill your fridge with snacks, such as lowfat yogurt, apples, grapes, berries and cut-up veggies, that are easy to grab when you are in a hurry.
Increase your sleep.
The bottom line is that if you don’t get enough sleep, you could have trouble losing weight.
