How to lose weight by following 5 simple rules..

Set up that fruit bowl on your dining room! Fruit is the new dessert.

This rule is also hard and fast: nothing but fruit. There are low-fat, low-calorie options out there, but they all require you to control portions. This is also a chance to cleanse your body of processed cookies and other treats. Eat all the fruit you want.

Hold the cheese, please.

This rule is plain and simple: no cheese. Have the sandwich, but hold the cheese. Have the salad, but hold the cheese. The added fat and calories that you will save start to add up and will show you definite results.

Olive Oil is counter-intuitive!

It's ironic that olive oil is both a dreaded oil and yet one of the healthiest of foods. Olive oil has been shown to help your metabolism, is heart-healthy, and keeps your bowels regular. It is, however, loaded with fat, so use it as salad dressing, on veggies, and whenever you need a little.

WALK.
Walking burns calories, at a steady fat burning rate. Skip driving whenever possible - walk to the store, take the stairs, go for a walk on the beach. An hour long walk a day can help you drop weight fast - without stressing your joints.

Drink plenty water.
Over weight people need more water than thin people. Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Water helps to maintain proper muscle tone, which in turn, aids proper muscle contraction and prevents dehydration. It also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weight loss.

Consistency is your friend.
These rules are very simple. Keep them in mind and refer to them when you make your food choices, and you will see weight loss very soon.

Good luck!
