The simple method of losing weight is to reduce the amount of calories you intake so that you can burn more. Do not eat because you have nervous energy or are bored. What you can do instead, is follow these simple tips:

1. Keep a food diary: Yes, a diary for noting down your food intake! This way you can keep a track of what you are eating and in what quantity. Jotting down the intake will help you realize what extra and unwanted calories you are putting in your system. You should try to eliminate these foods from your diet to lose the pounds fast.

2. Do not use food as an excuse: Are you meeting up with friends for dinner, getting together for snacks, or going to a movie and snacking? Try not to use food as an excuse for social gatherings. Get together for other activities such as, cycling, hiking, etc.

3. Get smaller plates: Sounds strange? But smaller plates mean smaller portions.

4. Low Fat Foods: Switch to low fat food options wherever possible.

5. No temptation, no binge: It is hard to eat bad foods at home when you don’t buy any. Do not keep junk food in your house!

6.Focus on eating: Try to actually focus on eating when you are eating. Do not eat while with watching television or reading a book. Concentrate on chewing, so that the flavors of the food will be more satisfying and you will feel full faster.
