  When you go on a diet, it's a good idea to inform yourself as much as possible about what it takes to successfully lose weight. It's not a good idea to use just one source of information when you really want to learn the facts. If you do this, you might fall prey to whatever hyped up diet is getting lots of play in magazines and online. Rather than discuss specific diets, then, in this article we'll be discussing some general principles that are important for losing weight in general.
  
  As far as your eating habits and exercise habits are concerned, you don't need to think about being normal. The reason for this is that in the US and in other countries these days, average is overweight and doesn't exercise nearly often enough. This means that if you use your family members, friends or co-workers as models, there's a good chance you will end up overweight.
  
  There is always pressure to conform to societal norms but you need to be firm in your stance if you are honestly committed to being as healthy as possible and losing weight. Just because everybody else you are with is reaching for second portions or bigger portions doesn't mean that you need to do the same. It's better to spend time with people who have got the same goals that you do or to join a support group if you think that having that kind of support is going to help. It is not a good idea, though, to follow along with a group that displays unhealthy habits. One primary reason that lots of people fail at dieting is that they are not aware of how much they are really eating. For one thing, foods aren't always accurately labeled. Packaged foods typically have calories hidden within them which is why some experts tell you that you need to add ten percent to the number of calories you think you're eating. Also, not everyone reads labels carefully. Some foods that come in packages are combined into packages that contain multiple servings so you need to make sure that the number of calories there are "per serving" get multiplied by the amount of servings you have actually consumed. People who like to snack throughout the day aren't as likely to pay attention to the extra calories that they eat. As someone on a diet, it is important to carefully track how much you actually eat during the day.
  
  Plenty of dieters are done in by portion sizes because they forget that it isn't just what you eat but how much you eat that affects your weight loss efforts. Whether you are eating your own food or eating in a restaurant, this is going to be a problem. It's absolutely normal to eat whatever has been put in front of you. When you were young your parents probably even told you to finish what was on your plate and for growing children this is a good thing. As an adult whose trying to lose weight, however, it can make things difficult. Try, then, to make sure that you cook and serve smaller portions. If someone else is doing the serving ask that they make your portion small. When you go out to eat at a restaurant, order from the kids' menu or ask that some of your portion be wrapped up so that you can take it home with you later. It really is our pleasure to be able to share so much research on info.
  
  All you need to do is follow along because we have this plus much more in store.
  
  Of course not absolutely everything will be used today by you, and that is normal and quite typical. Once you have more time to think about things, we think you will arrive at the conclusion that it actually is helpful. It is hardly ever a good idea to maintain a closed mind about anything, and that has served us very well. As you continue to read, try to make new connections between what you are learning as well as what you already know and have brought to the table.
  
  We have received lots of feedback about it, and one common thing is people easily get overwhelmed with all the information - but no worries, we know you can handle it with ease. By learning as much as you can about dieting in general, you can have better results no matter what particular diet you choose. The basic goals of all diets are pretty much the same. It's important, for example, to not expect too much from a diet. What you choose to do factors more into your success than the diet that you choose.
