One tip regarding health/weight loss?

[VooDooChild89]

Or exercising what would it be? Mine would be to drink lots of water. I had no idea all the benefits until I googled it.

Keep your expectations realistic.

Too many people have the expectation that they will lose a dramatic amount of weight in a short period of time when in reality, real and healthy weight loss takes time and effort.

too many people expect to look completely different. Some people can produce a dramatic change but most people just tend to look like better versions of themselves. If you work your ass off, literally, you can make a dramatic change.

Too many people have the expectation that they can look like a new person- a different body type usually. Not everyone is meant to be super slime or super buff. People come in different shapes and sizes.

Overall, just expect to be a healthier version of yourself.

Let yourself indulge every once in a while. Lets say you love ice cream and you eat it every day. Don't cut it out completely, just cut down how much you eat it. Instead of eating it everyday, eat it about once a week. I think when people cut out all the good tasting junk completely they are much more likely to binge.

Avoid weight loss pills at all costs (even those that are considered FDA approved or organic) and gimmicks that promote quick weight loss. They are both ineffective and pose a danger to your health. And yes, staying hydrated is of crucial importance.

I'd have to say: TRACKING.

Track your results in real time. That's probably the most important factor in achieving anyhting fast with scalability and efficiency.

Something that I think helps me is to stop eating when I'm full and not eat more. Sometimes I used to eat when I'm not hungry to not waste something, to taste something, or the hang out with others. Now no matter how tasty it may be or what social occasion occurs I tell myself to not eat it if I'm already full. Eating is to nourish and energize me. When I'm full it's already done it's job. More than that then I'm accumulating excess.

learn to cook well-most people assume only fast food can taste good,so they start dieting but keep cheat days or binge-neither of which are necessary if you know how to cook healthy things that taste good.

add fiber to your diet. we need 35mg/day. this is so important because fiber expands in stomach which makes you feel fuller so you don't eat as much. it also breaks down food, so it cleans you out and gets all the nasties out :)

Eat real food and avoid junk food.

People go around starving themselves then wonder why they demolished a box of twinkies.

That's a good one.

Weightloss is 80% eating/20% exercise, so my tip would be watch very carefully what you eat.

[Distant]

I would have to disagree. I eat nothing but crap but have great results when losing weight / toning. Does this mean that I'm achieving these results this easily on 20%?

[TheUglyOne]

no, it just means you have a high metabolism.

Be aware of your portion sizes of your meals/snacks and your liquid calories; this is the biggest problem when it comes to eating in America.

P.S. did I accidentially cheat and give two tips? :-P

Slow and steady is the way to go. Eat healthy, eat less, exercise more.
