Easy Fat Lose

10 life style changes that really do make you lose weight.
I think that g333k.glimpsr is on to something when they released "8 easy things you can do to lose fat." I'll not only list what their list, but I'll also add some really simple tricks that I've picked up. Read everything to get some tips to help you lose weight without doing major dieting or exercising.

1. Say good-bye to soda. It's terrible for your health! Drink juice or water instead.
2. Forget fast-food. There's WAY too much fat and sodium in anything you order. Make your own damn food!
3. Limit sugary foods. Take one or two cookies from the packaging and set them on a plate, close the package putting it in a plastic bag, and go into another room to eat your cookies slowly. You'll be less tempted to sit and eat the whole package that way. For ice cream use one of those bowls you melt butter in instead of those soup bowls or worse, eating straight from the carton.
4. Less carbs. I know, it's obvious, but you have to train yourself to eat other foods. Say yes to meat, greens, and fruit and no to bread, rice, pasta, and potatoes. Stuff your sandwiches with meat, have more salads, and bowl of berries with yogurt for dessert. If you must have carbs, take a bite and put your fork down or set it down if it's a finger food and then keep your hands on your lap until you've swallowed it all before having another bite or have a sip of your drink between bites.
5. Protein is the key. I don't mean upgrading to the triple patty hamburger or the grande taco, I'm talking about snacking on granola, nuts, veggies, and better quality meat.
6. Minimize size, maximize quantity. Don't eat until you're stuffed, whatever you're eating just split everything in half with someone else. In another couple of hours eat more, but less of it, get it? Eat often, but in snack size portions.
7. Snack. Yep, you can and should have healthy snacks every day, like carrots with ranch dressing, a nutrition bar, or a bag of cereal with no more than 100 calories per cup.
8. Wait 3 hours after eating before sleeping. Believe me, this helps A LOT. Occupy yourself after dinner so you're not tempted to snack.
9. Get more sleep. It's tough and I realize that, but you gotta do it if you want to lose that weight. Go to bed 15 minutes earlier than you usually do each day until you reach 10 or 11 so that you can squeeze in an hour or two of more sleep.
10. Get active. Well duh, it's the same thing as exercise, but you don't have to weight lift, run, or go to the gym. With just a few hours every week, do some DDR (Dance Dance Revolution), play ping-pong, practice more in a sport, walk or ride your bike to your destination, or do 10 sit-ups or push-ups or whatever during the tv commercials.

I've lost nearly 10 pounds in just a week by following these steps!
