There are a myriad of ways to lose the pounds, and plenty of advice telling you exactly how to do it. However, successful weight loss methods vary amongst individuals. There is not one method that works for everyone. Therefore, as early as you decide that you need to shed weight, the first thing that you must do is to decide on a way that you know will work greatly for you.

When trying to lose weight, stop "working out," or at least stop referring to exercise in that way. This is particularly important for people who dread the thought of going to a gym. As an alternative, you can do something fun like take the dog for a walk, play football with your kids, ride your bicycle or hike through the woods. These activities do not even make you feel like you are working out.

If you are exercising to lose weight, focus on cardiovascular exercises to get the job done. These types of exercises raise your heart rate and cause your body to burn more fat than resistance exercise. All activities that elevate your heart rate count, so choose something you enjoy doing.

You have to watch what you eat. If you eat more calories in a day than you burn, weight loss just is not going to happen. Consuming an excess amount of calories will hinder your weight loss efforts. It can be helpful to write down the foods and calories that you eat at each sitting.

Cut potatoes into 1/2" fries, toss in a large bowl with 1 tbsp. of oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and a bit of rosemary if you like, and bake in a single layer at 400 degrees for 30 min. Loosen using a spatula and then bake for about 10 minutes longer. These delicious fries are lower in fat and calories and taste as good as deep fried potatoes. This great idea for "French Bakes" came from Laurel's Kitchen cookbook.

Choose lean meat over fatty meat, and watch the pounds melt away. Replace cream-based sauces with ones that focus on vegetables, like chutneys and salsas. Your meat won't taste bland or feel dried out. Chutneys come in flavors that are sweet and fruity, and your meat will explode with exciting new taste sensations.

Eating distracted is an open door to more pounds. If you don't pay attention to whatever you eat, it will be more difficult to achieve your goal. Being observant about how much you ingest will result in lower intake.

Now you are aware of all of your options. If one thing works for you, try similar exercises and develop a routine. It is important to only use the advice from this article that you feel will work for you! You won't know if it works unless you try it.
