For fat burning regime, try the following tricks.
• Cut fat and salt intake radically.
• Consider training in the morning - this raises the metabolic rate throughout the day. This means more fat burning and more energy.
• Make sure you get adequate fiber each and every day.
• Drink 1-2 liters of water during the day.
• List everything eaten.
• Don’t scrutinize. Permanent changes take time. Test and record your body fat level every two months. If you use a scale, weigh only once a week. After an initial drop in weight, plan to lose 1/2 to 1 pound per week steadily - a realistic goal.
• Have your larger meals early in the day, making dinner the lowest calorie meal.

Weight Losing Tips
The ’set point’ is the weight at which your body naturally feels most comfortable. If you’ve been overweight for a very long time, your body may respond to your initial weight loss by lowering its metabolism. Always aim for shorter-term attainable goals. Choose a reasonable amount of weight that you can lose in 8-12 weeks. Diet until you reach that goal and then switch to a maintenance diet. Once you’ve maintained your new weight for 8-12 weeks, set another weight loss goal, and move back into weight loss mode. This will give a break to your body from hunger and be back to dieting for ‘the first two weeks’ .This you can carry for any long-term weight loss diet.

Proteins: Fact File
Proteins are compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. These elements combine to form strings of amino acids. Protein can help you lose fat. Protein is harder for your body to digest than fat or carbohydrates. It requires more energy for your body to digest protein and hence, you burn more calories with protein. Our body uses protein to build, repair and maintain almost all of the tissue in your body. It gives support that your body needs to gain muscle and lose fat. It helps to build muscles which intern helps to burn the fat. Protein also has the highest thermo effect of all the macronutrients. Take proteins through turkey, egg whites, fish, tuna and skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Protein falls into the class of nutrients called “macronutrients.” Other macronutrients are carbohydrates and fat. Protein is an appetite suppressant. Because of protein’s ability to help maintain muscle, you should burn fat at a faster rate than muscle.

Diet and women who are stressed
Women under stress often turn to food as a comfort. But unless they choose the right foods, this practice will inevitably lead to weight gain. The best strategy is to choose complex carbohydrates such as whole-grain breads, oats and potatoes.

Weight Losing Tips
When we see that we are heavier than we want to be, we intend to eat less thinking that we may loose the wait. But that is not necessarily true. This will be making it more difficult to loose the weight. Take such belief’s myths out of food. Get the facts. When researchers compare overweight and thin people, they find that they are roughly the same number of calories. What makes overweight people different is the amount of fat that they eat. Thin people tend to eat less fat and more complex carbohydrates.
Losing weight cannot be done in an overnight. A careful plan is required with certain guidelines. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of misinformation around and lots of desperate people are duped easily. Every day one can see advertisements touting some new product, pill or patch that will take excess weight off quickly. All seems to be looking for that “magic” weight loss pill and spending billions of dollars every year. Often they do lose some weight. But, if you check with the same people five years later, you will find that nearly all have regained whatever weight they lost.
A review’s was done recently to try and determine if any profitable diet plan gave any success. Not a single program could do so. So unbridled has the so-called diet industry become with new products that the FDA has now stepped in and started clamping down. Being seriously putting on weight can develop into a number of diseases and serious health problems, and it is now a known fact that when caloric intake is excessive, some of the excess frequently is soaked fat. The fable is that every one will put on weight by eating too many calories. Calories are a reflection it’s true, but overall they are not the cause of obesity in America today. Americans actually take in fewer calories each day. If calories alone were the reason we become overweight, we should all be thin. But we are not. Communally, we are heavier than ever. The reason is that we are more inactive now. But at the same time the fat content of the American diet has changed considerably.
People who diet without exercising often get fatter with time. Though weight may initially drop, such weight loss consists mostly of water and muscle. When the weight returns, it comes back as fat. To avoid getting fatter over time, exercising daily is good. Choose an exercise routine that you are comfortable with. Walking is one of the best and easiest exercises for strengthening your bones, controlling your weight and harmonizing your muscles.

8 Universal Tips for Weight Loss
Here are the top 8 universal tips for weight loss, which are really “principles” of dieting:
1. Exercise
2. Avoid Fast Weight Loss
3. Prepare to diet. Binge eating for two days before starting a diet is preparing, preparing to fail!
4. Allow Imperfection…you have no choice
5. Keep it Real…magic, ancient formulas, and weight loss without work are not real
6. Focus on Helping Others Lose Weight…someone can learn from your experiences
7. Lose Fat
8. Avoid Extreme Weight Loss (10 pounds at a time)
Follow the following to loss the weight permanently
1. Performance change. This is a key element of permanent weight loss. Learn to recognize what triggers you to eat. Often seeing a therapist who specializes in weight loss is a great way to discover what your eating triggers are, and help you learn to say “No” to inappropriate eating.
2. Slow, steady weight loss. Choose a weight loss plan that provides gradual and consistent weight loss of about ¾ to 2 pounds per week. While you may lose weight faster than this at the beginning of your diet, generally, you should not lose more than 3 pounds per week to maintain good health while losing weight
3. Maintenance plan. Any weight loss plan that doesn’t include a maintenance plan for after you’ve reached your goal weight isn’t worth your time. Make sure you have a plan to maintain your healthy new weight after your diet. Your plan should incorporate healthy eating and regular physical activity as a permanent part of your daily life.
4. Exercise. Enough cannot be said about the importance of a regular workout plan that includes 30 to 60 minutes of cardiovascular activity at least 5 days every week – 6 to 7 days a week is even better.
5. Healthy eating. Choose a weight loss plan that reduces calories without leaving out specific foods or food groups. Make sure your weight loss plan includes foods from all the food groups on the nutrition pyramid.
6. Medical direction. If you’re going to follow a diet plan that includes a modified eating plan such as a very low calorie diet, or a liquid diet, make sure that regular medical care is incorporated. This can mean seeing your own health care provider before, during, and after your weight loss, or seeing a medical professional who participates in your weight loss plan.
