The most important tip to know is you must be ready to lose weight. If you're not ready to lose weight and make that commitment to yourself, don't read any further. No matter what they are or how good the weight loss tips are, they won't help because you'll find a way around them.

It doesn't take a lot to get on the road to weight loss. It's not that complicated. Basically, you have to burn more calories than you take in. You can eat less, get your body to burn more calories, or both.

The first thing you want to do is get your goal – write it down. Know how many pounds you want to lose. Even if your goal seems unreachable you need to put it down in writing or you will have no chance of reaching it. Break that goal down into manageable parts. If you need to lose 100 pounds, be realistic and know that if you lose 8 to 10 pounds a month, it will take almost a year to reach your goal. That may seem like a long time but think about the difference you'll see and feel after six months. Following are some good weight loss tips to help you on your journey.

1. Eat smaller meals several times a day. 5 or 6-300 calorie meals will not only give you enough calories to keep your body functioning but few enough for most people to lose weight. Eating several small meals will increase your resting metabolism. Your body will be constantly burning energy (= calories) to digest the food.
2. Avoid alcohol. Alcohol slows down your metabolism. Cocktails are empty calories like sugar sodas. If you need to drink, stay away from the fruity or thick liquor drinks. Try light beer or wine. Drinking alcohol can easily lead to eating more food. You can put yourself in a situation where you're eating fatty snack foods and the alcohol can hinder your judgment to eat in moderation.
3. Eat more grilled food. Saute foods in broth or use a pan spray instead of butter. Eat whole grain foods instead of white bread and rice.
4. Add some cardiovascular exercise to your weight loss plan. It doesn't have to be much, a brisk 30 minute walk a few times a week can do wonders. Park your car and walk when you can.
5. Weight train to avoid losing muscle. When you diet you are in danger of losing muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat so you want to keep what muscle mass you have and build on it.
6. For one week, keep track of everything you eat. You don't have to worry about calories at first, just get down everything you put in your mouth. You'll be amazed at how much you eat throughout the day without thinking about it. After you get used to writing everything down, figure out how many calories you eat in one day. Find a way to cut out 500 calories per day.
