    With so much information about weight loss available, it's no wonder everyone is confused. The below article provides some helpful advice to begin your weight loss journey on the right track. The following tips are only a few things that you can try, but it's a start.

    Do not be embarrassed to leave a plate half full when trying to lose weight. While you may have been taught not to waste food, this concept can lead to overeating and excess pounds. Taking what you do not eat home with you is a great idea to enjoy your meal again the next day. Do not overeat and do your best to prepare a small portion. Always know what you are eating and once you feel full then it is time to stop.

    Get a good night's sleep when you are on the road to losing weight. Research has proven that those who lose sleep are often hungrier than the average person, and that could lead to bad eating habits. This is not healthy for weight-loss.

    It is okay to be a little vain while you are losing weight. The extra attention you spend on your body will help you keep track of your progress and build self esteem. This will lead to added motivation.

    Setting realistic goals is very important before starting a weight loss program. Like everything in life, you will not be able to reach an unrealistic goal. Even if you know you need to drop 20 pounds, by setting yourself a short time limit such as a month, you are destined to fail. Set small, attainable weekly goals instead. If you break your long-term goal into small bits, you will have a better chance to succeed. Think about the weight you need to lose this week and nothing else.

    If the thought of hours on a treadmill has you avoiding exercise, try a different cardio option. Go bike riding, toss a Frisbee to Fido, play in the surf at the beach or do some gardening. It is possible to burn calories without engaging in the repetitive motion that traditional exercise requires. Choose from the activities you love doing and try to do them more often.

    When losing weight, you must record what you eat. Surveys have found that those dieters that track what they eat will most likely lose weight. These conscientious dieters tend to lose twice as much as other dieters.

    Give yourself a reward every now and then. If you are successful in staying on your diet it is good to reward yourself with a small dessert or glass of wine. That is not the same thing as breaking your diet plan. This will simply be a treat to give yourself for sticking to your diet and staying on track with your goals. Make sure that you do not constantly reward yourself, as this can cause you to veer away from your plan. Your new diet is a lifestyle, not something meant to punish you.

    Have ice instead of junk food. If you are fighting the temptation to eat, try chewing on some ice. Just putting the ice in your mouth might be enough to dispel the urge.

    Start eating chili pepper sauce. Chili peppers can increase the metabolism as well as providing energy to help burn calories. The hot sauce can be used on many different dishes including chicken and eggs. This will introduce a new flavor in your diet.

    Aren't you happy you have found an excellent resource like this article? It has probably given you the inspiration to finally start to lose the pounds. Use these suggestions to lose the weight you've wanted to lose for so many years. Once you've lost the weight you wanted to, keep working at it to ensure you stay fit and trim.
